[deep parcel]

[wooden harness]

It's fun talking here, I'd like to do so more

[deep parcel]

I used to talk here way more but gaming has taken a lot of that time.

[wooden harness]

My friends don't talk to me no more cause they are busy with their vrchat egirls that have like 5 boyfriends

[craggy shoal]

It's okay bro. I'm committed to more hobbies than most people are in this server. You got this bro

[velvet summit]

[chrome mirage]

[craggy shoal]

Imagine not being a manager at 23

[velvet summit]

like a dollar and a half over minimum pay lmao

do you need any certifications/qualifications in order to do that job

because if you do, that's pretty terrible pay 💀

if you dont, then it's fine

though it's also fine again if it's co-op work

[deep parcel]

the job im getting interviewed for is 16 an hour USD.

[craggy shoal]

That's better than nothing

[deep parcel]

but its remote so I dont have to worry about vehicle wear.

My car looks like it has a runny nose

[craggy shoal]

What's it like driving RWD in the snow?

Also, what's the maintenance like on those? I've heard they're built cheaply and they overheat easily

[chrome mirage]

I don't drive it in the snow. The roads were clear on Friday and I took it out for a day

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/forza-horizon5-toyota4runner-trd-pro-drifting-drift-snow-gif-27226752

[chrome mirage]

It's only got 12000km on it so maintenance has just been oil changes which are extremely easy. Also it doesn't overheat with daily driving but people recommend an oil cooler for track driving

[craggy shoal]

oh that's a tiny amount of mileage. What year is it?

I was thinking about getting one as my first car a few years ago until I decided on something else. But I'm wondering if they're still a decent option

[chrome mirage]

2020

[craggy shoal]

Oh gotcha

[chrome mirage]

It's a fun car but it's a bit slow

My civic is faster

[craggy shoal]

still sportier than my Ford Focus

I'm looking to get a Golf GTI though

[chrome mirage]

My sister is thinking of getting a 2024 GTI

[craggy shoal]

I want a Mk7 or Mk7.5

Probably gonna get a manual because the listings in my area are cheaper

[chrome mirage]

My friend has a focus RS

[craggy shoal]

Plus I know a guy who can help me upgrade it. Fitting a bigger turbo and whatever else (probably won't be doing that too early though lol)

[craggy shoal]

I wanted one of those too but they're still too expensive for me

[chrome mirage]

I drove a GTI with a stock turbo and a tune and the owner said it went through 3 sets of injectors

[craggy shoal]

yikes

I just want to get it to 300hp lol

[chrome mirage]

They can do 300hp on the stock turbo

[craggy shoal]

300hp but not too much higher. I want to keep it reliable

[chrome mirage]

My friends sti is ready to make 800hp and he's building it for 1300

[craggy shoal]

geez

that's nuts

I've been in my friend's M2 Competition that makes 405(?) horsepower and it feels stupid quick. I'd be terrified in something that makes 800hp lolll

[velvet summit]

that is a massive rad

[pseudo raven]

woah

looks like its about to transform

[somber skiff]

Front to back, oil, turbo, coolant

[wooden harness]

No I don't but I could get a year of schooling and I think if I do that I might make more. I got two raises since I started so maybe over time I'd make more. But I might end up moving away

[velvet summit]

ok yeah if it doesnt require any certifications or qualifications, that makes sense for the wage

[wooden harness]

Yeah it does

I don't wanna go back to school for a job tho

I went two yrs for graphic design and they hired very poopy teachers that didn't know a thing about design

It was not worth my time and money I was very disappointed

If anything I might do online schooling for coding or web design

[velvet summit]

depends on the job

some jobs you should go back to school for, some are less important

you could get into trades? those might be in higher demand

electricians are still in high demand

i believe it was 1 or 2 years of trade school (free or cheap, not strictly required but highly recommended)
and then another few years working as an apprentice (you will get paid)
then you become a journeyperson
then you become a master

or smth like that

and then you can take on apprentices

[tacit geode]

7 days to die is fun

[dusk knot]

Yeah....it's just my area sucks

[craggy shoal]

Don't blame you on that

my friend: "wouldn't that be nothing" lol
ofc depends on the person. I do enjoy things to help organize what I have since I am a mess

Does he like to write? A nice pen. Or a new wallet.

[atomic current]

if he fits he sits

i was gonna get him a pen but he doesn't write things down ever. I was thinking wallet but he likes his a lot so idk

hes impossible to buy for

[wooden harness]

loll but he already has two pcs idk where he will put a third

[obsidian berry]

anyone know if gemeni had access to websites before? I tried asking it to go grocery shopping but it said it couldnt access the website

[devout forum]

A really nice mechanical keyboard?

Or just do the easy thing and buy him a gift card at a store he likes to shop at

[misty sparrow]

^ This, except it's one you build yourself and not one from big-names

[devout forum]

Or buy him tools
Men tend to like tools and always appreciate new ones regardless of what they're used for

[pliant berry]

very nice screwdriver set 😳

[devout forum]

iFixit one

Or a LTT driver and a bit set

The possibilities are endless

[misty sparrow]

they say if men hear the home depot theme song they will instantly start doing construction work regardless or not they've done it before

tools are great gifts

[atomic current]

actually when I hear it I will instantly start doing destruction

question for the weggheads

i have a b670-i gaming wifi from asus that come with a wifi antennae. my roommate knocked it off the wall and now my wifi has terrible connection and keeps randomly disconnecting. can i assume it was damaged?

[pliant berry]

did you put it back in the same place?

[sour falcon]

Yes

This is how it normally sets

[sour falcon]

I’ve never had this problem prior

[pliant berry]

Well it's always a possibility, antenna cables can be delicate

[sour falcon]

I’ll keep it in mind

[pliant berry]

tbh you probably don't even need it hanging on a wall, most people just put it on top of case and it's fine

[sour falcon]

Fair enough

[wooden marten]

Does 1080p on 1440p look really bad

bc i want to upgrade to 1440p but helldivers doesn’t have dlss so my 3060ti might struggle at 1440p

[wary fjord]

meh.. mp5 did exist.. it has camera and emulator and u can play games on it

[mortal grail]

k

[velvet summit]

Mp5: stops people from complaining about mp3/MP4 quality

[ancient swift]

You can do 1440p high @60fps

[wooden marten]

you can play very realistic fps games with mp5 wdym

[idle nexus]

I have been staring at this for like hours now & cannot figure out a plan for pipe run

[mortal grail]

go up

then left

then down

[ancient swift]

But also, why not keep both monitors so you can play 1080p on one or 1440p on the other based on what you can do well

[mortal grail]

then right

then a b b a start

oh heck & I gotta put the HOF litle crown tells me temp & stuff thing I forgot about that

why play the game properly when god mode and fly to end

gou is probably going to get pretty hot though

[mortal grail]

[velvet summit]

It's not cheating if you're just using the tools at your disposal

[mortal grail]

I'm an efficient man

[wooden marten]

thats why my 3060ti was so cheap, cooling is pretty bad

[mortal grail]

I will learn the fastest way and speedrun

[wooden marten]

i no longer stan zotac

[ancient swift]

That makes sense.

You could run it at 720p and use integer scaling to go up to 1440p too. I dunno how good it'll work though on a desktop. I only use it on the Legion go to go from 800p to 1600p

[wary fjord]

u still on this xD

I hate crossing pipes but it's like impossible not to

[mighty hazel]

it's COPPER plumbing tubing lol

[wooden marten]

it took me almost 7 hours to build my pc bc I kept trying to plug in power pins before realizing i was using the new ones meant for 40 series

they really should label them differently

[idle nexus]

like instead of playing EZ mode with AIO, medium with ZMT, or hard mode with PETG this time, I decided to try psycho with plumbing pipe

[mighty hazel]

LOL

[mortal grail]

did you just-

nvm

[idle nexus]

like if they're gonna cross, I prefer it do so kind of out of sight

[mortal grail]

LMFAOOOO

or at least not in the middle in your face

I’d probably take the 2070 super

[normal moat]

thank you

I think they’re close but 2070 super has better ray tracing and dlss+ other features for things other than gaming

[normal moat]

Should I have my pc on my floor or on my desk

I'd prefer the floor but I'm worried about dust. I have a little wood plank thing to have it on

It's revolutionary

Wait someone managed to post about that here? Lol.

[velvet summit]

Nintendo is fine with palworld but had a vendetta against emulation

[north crescent]

Nintendo prolly spent millions on looking for ways to take down Palworld

[velvet summit]

Realistically speaking, they probably could have just asked the devs during development

Because they're both japanese

nvm, it was in a different server

it might be easier but also probably makes less of a difference since there isnt much room for the pex to bend, but ig you dont have to be as exact still

[idle nexus]

I've seen that you can bend it with a heatgun like PETG/Acrylic tho no?

[velvet summit]

hmm

[idle nexus]

I mean it bends without heat the same way that PVC does (which unless you're bending it over like 3'+, is basically nothing lol)

[velvet summit]

as far as i know, you dont want to do that for plumbing your house
but for low pressure in a pc build, it probably is fine?

[idle nexus]

I saw videos where you can bend it but I didn't have my heatgun with me so I just kinda forced it to bend along the corner of the wall

[velvet summit]

i see alot of youtube comments with "plumbers" saying that pex is terrible lmao

[idle nexus]

PEX? I think it's like the most widely used pipe in new contruction now

[velvet summit]

i mean using a heat gun to bend it more

[idle nexus]

they have red, white, & blue pipes for hotwater, cold water, & uh either one lol

[idle nexus]

ah okay

[idle nexus]

what kinda sucks about it to me is that you're stuck with like $10+/each sharkbite fittings unless you've already invested in the crimping tool

[velvet summit]

im not a plumber so i dont actually know, but from what i've seen of people doing plumbing, i've never seen anyone use a heat gun to make bends on pex, it's always using a fitting to do tighter bends

[idle nexus]

ya like in a corner I'd think you'd want a fitting

tbh I dunno why everyone doesn't use PVC or CPVC for everything

or why anyone uses copper at all lol

[velvet summit]

pvc is slightly less flexible than pex i guess? is pex cheaper than pvc? i wonder

[idle nexus]

I guess if you're already really good at soldering copper maybe but even then, it's much more time-consuming than slapping some primer then some PVC glue on a pipe

actually I dunno which is cheaper

[velvet summit]

also a cheaper way to connect fittings, which i see quite a bit of pex installers use is those plastic expansion fittings where you put it around the pex, and have the tool that stretches the plastic and you put it over the fitting

[idle nexus]

but one thing that might make a considerable difference is that PVC 90s, couplings, etc are way cheaper than sharkbites & don't require a crimping tool

[velvet summit]

as for copper, im guessing it was easier to get copper pipes than plastic when it became popular, and more importantly wasnt made of lead lmao

and iron would corrode easily for water pipes

[idle nexus]

oh ya for sure

[wraith fern]

hello 👋

[idle nexus]

even stainless steel rusts eventually

[wraith fern]

how's it going

[idle nexus]

plastic lasts like 1000 years & if properly glued, is basically welded into a single piece of plastic

going alright ig lol

[wraith fern]

good to hear

[idle nexus]

anything but plastic for direct burial doesn't really make sense to me either

[velvet summit]

also expensive... though with today's copper prices, i wonder if it is still more expensive

[wraith fern]

have you ever considered stealing copper wiring

[velvet summit]

also isnt stainless steel welding hard

[velvet summit]

never leave exposed copper anywhere because people would literally cut it up

some commercial walk-in freezer had their linesets stolen because it was visible copper

those people went in there and just cut the copper, making refrigerant be released

[wraith fern]

lol

[velvet summit]

it was a modern refrigerant afaik but still not one that was allowed to be released to atmosphere

[wraith fern]

any good steam games on sale right now? thinking about getting hogwarts legacy but i'm not sure if it's worth it

[velvet summit]

they should have put r290 refrigerant in there so that those scrappers could have a little 🔥 surprise

[wraith fern]

hmm

you should start a copper mine

[wraith fern]

man

[idle nexus]

ya that rigid pipe you gotta actually thread together costs a fortune for electrical. I'm sure if it's approved for water pressure it's even more

[idle nexus]

have you ever used the pipe threading tool?

[wraith fern]

congrats

[idle nexus]

like you cut a piece of rigid to length then add threading to it

wht that heckin machine that you gotta like oil the heck out of it

[velvet summit]

er... a die? lmfao

[velvet summit]

i've never threaded a pipe but i've threaded a rod before

oh a fancy automatic thead die

[idle nexus]

ya it has dies for each pipe size but you gotta like chain down the pipe on the support & then the machine runs & slowly adds threads to the end

[velvet summit]

sounds like a pain

[idle nexus]

I did it with the handheld one before too & was worried if it binded that I woud like be flipped over the pipe since that thing must have stupid torque to cut threads into rigid lol

[velvet summit]

lmao that reminds me of people using a wrench to hold a die on a lathe

[idle nexus]

lol I hate cutting corners in construction work cuz it's always so stupid dangerous

like we had to run pipe along a bridge that was like 30-40' up

& instead of renting a snooker truck, the boss wanted to like chain down a snorkel life to a barge

which isn't so bad

if waves didn't exist

[velvet summit]

💀

[idle nexus]

ended up getting the snooker truck

[velvet summit]

almost always the lowest bidder wins for constuction

[idle nexus]

man I'll never forget the feeling of being on a snooker truck on Tampa Sunshine Skyway bridge at like 2am like 250-300' up or something like that

tbh I dunno if I've ever been more scared in my life lol

that was a pretty decent size boat

[rancid juniper]

Guess overclocking is dead

[idle nexus]

people are just scared

I voted yes

[rancid juniper]

Or, that it's costly maybe

[idle nexus]

& added some comment you'd expect me to make anyway

[rancid juniper]

But the yea alot of people worry that their CPU may blow up

[past totem]

hey guys i need some suggestions please

[idle nexus]

this is my favorite comment I've made lately

[past totem]

a little background, i already have a powerful gaming pc. i just need this one for travel

[rancid juniper]

oof

[rancid juniper]

get the OLED model

[idle nexus]

hmm this is a hard call lol

[past totem]

i bought the other one but my mind is now thinking OLED as well lol

[idle nexus]

kinda personal preference for monitor but seems like 16" would be preferable to 14.5" for gaming

Ryzen processor probably runs cooler & more efficient than 13700HX

[rancid juniper]

yea

[past totem]

i agree but again i have a pc at home with a 27 in screen

[rancid juniper]

oled screen already looks better than an IPS screen

[past totem]

this is just for med school

[rancid juniper]

even if i never seen oled

[past totem]

and its a lot lighter

[idle nexus]

both are 4060 with same VRAM?

[past totem]

i checked their specs they have similar performance in games the acer comes out on top like 3 or 4 fps more

[past totem]

i believe so

[idle nexus]

13th gen version is 100nits brighter but Ryzen one is OLED

[past totem]

in productivity the OLED comes out on top a few times but i aint using it for editing or anything like that

[idle nexus]

oh & the Intel one is 165hz v. 120 on Ryzen for screen

[past totem]

yea

so what we think gang 😎

[idle nexus]

the thunderbold port can come in handy but dunno if it's much of a selling point for most people

[past totem]

they both have thunderbolt no?

[idle nexus]

Ryzen uses Lythium polymer battery v. Lithium Ion for Intel?

well it shows the Intel one as haveing 2x Thunderbolt 4 for display outs

[past totem]

seems that way

[idle nexus]

I don't even know much about lithium polymer heck

firs ttime I've seen it ngl

[past totem]

oh yea thunderbolt doesnt exist in lenovo

this model i mean

[idle nexus]

the Ryzen has 2880x1800 resolution v. Intel 2560x1600

[rancid juniper]

why do they have resolutions like that?

[past totem]

yea ive never had an oled screen. the other is LCD

[rancid juniper]

rip RTX 4060

[idle nexus]

it's like, hmm which monitor would look better... higher refresh, brighter, lower resolution v. lower (but not nearly low enough to be "bad") refresh, higher resolution, OLED, but 100 nits dimmer

[rancid juniper]

its time for you to try it

[past totem]

ur leaning towards the oled arent u

[idle nexus]

16 v. 8-core

[rancid juniper]

i am

but thats me

it is up to you

[past totem]

its a tough choice

[idle nexus]

I dunno if the Rytzen has tunderbolt (if that matters)

[rancid juniper]

13700HX is 8 cores 24 threads

[rancid juniper]

cursed

[past totem]

how is the price tho do u think its good?

[wary fjord]

if pikachu does so is ryzen

[past totem]

tbh im not gonna use thunderbolt

[wary fjord]

u dont want external hub? that can do cool stauff?

[past totem]

like what

[wary fjord]

are we talking laptop btw

i dont care about desktop thunderbolt

xD

[past totem]

yea

[wary fjord]

its very useful only on laptop

because i can have 1 gigabit internet.. another 3 monitor display.

[past totem]

oh i dont need that

[wary fjord]

without them drawing power on my laptop

and lagging my laptop

[past totem]

i have a pc already with 5800x3d and a 3080

[nocturne flicker]

Lithium poly is the type in phones, lithium ion is the traditional battery. Lithium poly bats are usually lighter, thinner but have shorter lifespans and usually aren't as high cap as lithium ion

[wary fjord]

nice nice

amd amd

[past totem]

i just learned something new

any other inputs? what would u guys choose?

thanks for taking the time btw

[wary fjord]

poly is chadder than ion

[past totem]

how about brands for example. which has a better rep acer or lenovo

[wary fjord]

hmm

look for hardware

or model

ignore brand

[past totem]

got it

my main concerns in terms of buying is weight, performance, and reliability

weight goes for lenovo,
performance goes to acer by a tiny margin
reliability...i have no idea

oh and the tdp of the lenovo 4060 is 105w while acer is 140w

[idle nexus]

damn it's also hard to decide cuz the difference in price is like $30

[wary fjord]

higher tdp on laptop

is quite nice xD

if the reason

is the gpu

[past totem]

sure but they perform almost the same

[wary fjord]

not all gpu has same tdp in laptop world even tho they share the same name

[idle nexus]

I wonder if either has a slot to add additional M.2s

[wary fjord]

they cap it

[past totem]

lenovo has lower 1% lows tho

[wary fjord]

the 1% low

is that ligther color?

if thats the case i take 140w

[past totem]

this is in cyberpunk at 1080p no rt no dlss

[past totem]

yea

rdr2

[wary fjord]

that 4070

[idle nexus]

heck it's really hard to pick a clear winner here ngl

[wary fjord]

got nerf

now its same and perform as 4060

[idle nexus]

are there laptops with 3d vcache? lol

[past totem]

the 1% lows vary by game take a look

this is control

[stark tiger]

man i can’t wait for ghost of tsushima :Shibaheart:

[wary fjord]

not same hardware

one has amd one has intel

intel do suck xD jk

[past totem]

as we can see the tdp doesnt make a whole lot of difference

[wary fjord]

it depends

on some games

or application

[past totem]

we can say they are both winners so we dont hurt their feelings

[past totem]

the dude tested 4 games

shadow of tomb raider, rdr2, control, and cyberpunk

[idle nexus]

lol this isn't soccer gosh darnit

[past totem]

scary jackbox voice DECISIONS DECISIONS

[idle nexus]

lol for real tho they can't really both win since you're not buying both

[wary fjord]

but once u find the game where it scale base on tdp

its amazing

but sometimes the result are same xd

[past totem]

i think

im gonna get the lenovo

the acer is 5.73 without the power brick

pounds

DO U SUPPORT MY DECISION?

opinions are not judged but if u downvote, im going to watch you sleep tonight

[wary fjord]

is the laptop for school

or for fun

[past totem]

yes

both

med school

im gonna be a long way from home

thats why weight is important as well cuz comfort

[wary fjord]

hmm that will be distracting

xD

[past totem]

after i finish studying what am i gonna do with my life

ill go out but i also wanna have some me time 🤣

when i first built my pc, i bought an acer predator monitor and had to return it bc of backlight bleed

and got myself the amazing nano ips LG

im saying this as maybe its a sign to steer clear from acer 🥹

[rancid juniper]

R6 seige player btw

😂

(bro clicked no)

[dusk trail]

of course bro clicked no

i would click no with only 1100 hours in

[rancid juniper]

that game consumed the mf

[dusk trail]

trash game these days no cap

[rancid juniper]

lol

[past totem]

guys i think the acer has a 1 stick 16gb ram

[rancid juniper]

EW

laptops these days still doing single channel

☠️

[past totem]

i think so bc it says 2 ram slots expandable to 32gb but it has 16gb already

so im assuming they put 1 x 16gb

[rancid juniper]

guess if you did get it you need to buy another stick

[past totem]

yea

im trying to figure out if the lenovo has a 1 x 16 as well

in lenovo the ram isnt upgradable bc its soldered

[onyx merlin]

Vegetarians annoy me at times.

the healthiest way to live is to eat a balanced diet aka meats vegetables and grains

humans are meant to be omnivores

[icy ore]

I mean you don’t have to

I’ve got a couple vegetarian friends. Two of them are just allergic to meat somehow, not really sure, but they don’t have too much a choice on that front

I unfortunately need meat almost every meal because I’m a savage

[rancid juniper]

bro is the true carnivore

[tranquil pebble]

meat for breakfast seems weird to me... I usually just have cereal tbh

[wary fjord]

deym 2.5k hours u wont get back

[rancid juniper]

😂

[wary fjord]

also me

i dont recomend the game bad game

[past totem]

guys i canceled the acer purchase and bought the lenovo 🥳

[wooden marten]

this is why i dont trust pcbenchmark

is it saying that an 9100f and 1060 are equal or better than the recommended spec

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-king-julien-all-is-lost-were-all-doomed-we-are-doomed-gif-22757496

[rancid juniper]

actually legit???

actually

imma try it

brb

left (ogl) right (vulkan)

WTF

it takes full advantage of the gpu

yes the cpu will still have to render those chunks

[random osprey]

im sure theres more going on, but just visually shadows be gone

time to add more shadows and tank fps by adding shaders

[rancid juniper]

yea after checking the screenshot the shadows are missing

[rancid juniper]

ok will try

[wooden marten]

@rancid juniper whats good thermal paste to buy from amazon

[rancid juniper]

Arctic MX-6

[random osprey]

at least there'll be more of a fps cushion for shaders assuming it works with the vulkan mod

[wooden marten]

does it come with the little spatula

[rancid juniper]

yes

@random osprey can i install optifine with fabric tho?

just for the shaders

[nocturne flicker]

You can use OptiFabric with Optifine to get it to work

[rancid juniper]

ok gonna check

[wooden marten]

alright bought it

shipping costed more than the paste 😭

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[wooden marten]

Im desperate though

my gpu was hitting 82c on wt, 83 is when it throttles

its cooling is messed up

[nocturne flicker]

Buy a bunch of stuff you may or may not need to get free shipping. Or go Wegg

Wegg'll probably have free shipping

[rancid juniper]

cant get optifine to work with it

minecraft just crashes

oof

[wooden marten]

wegg its going to be way more expensive for shipping

bc i want it delivered as soon as possible

earliest they can do is thursday and it costs $50 so hell no

[sour falcon]

Rah

[rancid juniper]

what the hell?

the best buy thing didn't work out i presume

[nocturne flicker]

Try Iris, that allows shaders iirc

[wooden marten]

My car doesn’t work and my dad is too busy to drive me there

[rancid juniper]

ill probably do it tomorrow lol

[wooden marten]

i could uber but it would probably cost more than just ordering it online

[wary fjord]

iris compatible?

[rancid juniper]

I haven't tried iris yet

Will do that later

someone commit into master branch xD

[empty tide]

that list looks cool. problem: Im lazy. I just use this
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/fabulously-optimized

[wary fjord]

@rancid juniper

if i remove mc hud xD

also my 1% seems not working xD i dont know

its either 0-1 xD

with mc hud on i get 1.1k fps

the fps drop by just having the gui on this game

is amazing

[rancid juniper]

Wow

That power draw is nicely low

Seems like the vulkan API forces the GPU to hit max usage

This is similar to how dxvk works

[wary fjord]

leme rerun the game with just vanilla renderer but i cant make rtts shows up on open gl 😦

@rancid juniper vanilla renderer no gui too

let me test iris

[north crescent]

Optifine bad. Outdated now-a-days.
Regardless, both Vulkanmod and Nvidium arent compatible with GLSL shader mods (Iris or Optifine).
If you want long view distance with shaders use Distant Horizons.

[wary fjord]

also latest amd driver keeps renaming my gigabyte device driver name to asus

disrespect

[sinful blade]

908 fps

[wary fjord]

have u seen vulkan stat

double go brrr vulkan go brrr

[rancid juniper]

Ogl mid

Aight imma sleep

[wary fjord]

wait u should see iris

iris proved u dont need vulkan xD

i cant screenshot xD when iris is installed its minimizing for some reason

her raw opengl + iris xD without vulkan mod..

still higher fps than vulkan

vanila: 908 fps
vulkan: 1855 fps
iris: 2311 fps

aw ye finally made my second connection lol

[placid apex]

i’m looking for a cpu cooler under 80 with 3 fans anyone know one? the cooling section kinda dry

[idle nexus]

GPU out to rear rad

[somber skiff]

Starting plumbing trade school now?

[idle nexus]

an air cooler or an AIO?

[idle nexus]

lol self-torture

[placid apex]

air cooler

[idle nexus]

maybe you can add a third fan? this is a really good air cooler from what I've heard https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Peerless-Assassin-120-Cooler/dp/B09LGY38L4?th=1

building a new daily or is this some how gonna be a single stage phase change thing?

[placid apex]

ohh mb i jus looked up the difference between a aio and air cooling, i’m looking for a aio because the top of my pc don’t have fans

[somber skiff]

Just bought a huge haul of watercooling hardware off a retired overclocker

Tons of hardline stuff if you're interested, I don't want any of it.

there's also rgb option

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7Phv6h/thermalright-frozen-prism-argb-704-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-frozen-prism-360-black-argb

i prefer buying an air cooler and getting more fans on the top tbh

but this is my reccs

[somber skiff]

Top AIO is meta

[placid apex]

ok thank you

will i need to buy thermal paste?

[idle nexus]

they usually come with some but Arctic MX-4 or MX-5 might perform better

[nocturne flicker]

It comes with some TF7 I believe

[placid apex]

ok ima get some mx do i need to take the other thermal paste off?

[elfin mural]

i wouldn't worry about it too much

they do come with paste

either pre applied

or comes in a tube

[nocturne flicker]

It comes in a tube, you'll be fine if you get some Mx

[idle nexus]

LF3 the goat now apparently

[elfin mural]

ya

well it released recently

[idle nexus]

how do I trade in my 13900KS for 14900KS gosh darn it

[sinful blade]

You give it to me and I do it

dude whats up my my ssd

its a 7000mb read/write and it only does 78mb

like max is 150

[wary fjord]

is the files u copying small bits of files not a single large file

[hollow barn]

What the...

[paper verge]

its 160GB of game files

[hollow barn]

Why that much bread?

[paper verge]

so yeah?

[wary fjord]

yeah

thats bound to happen

[hollow barn]

Should i get a SSD for Steam/other Games?

[wary fjord]

u exhaust your cache

it drops crazy

[paper verge]

meh not raelly

the only game where i find to see the benefit is DCS and thats like 20s max difference

[hollow barn]

okay, i don't wanna dump all the games on my System Drive.

[paper verge]

with a bit of stutter here and there

[hollow barn]

and yes, i do have games that need quite some time on loading

[wary fjord]

actually do it 🙂 i have seperate drive just for gaming

so if i reinstall my pc

easy peasy

all i need is to click the launcher and steam self heal it self

[hollow barn]

Yeah, the question is now: When/How do i do it...

[wary fjord]

except for stupid epic

[paper verge]

your ssd isnt gonna make it way faster though

[hollow barn]

COD MW and CS:GO were a example where i noticed a Way faster loading time

aka games that have quite the needed loading speed

GTA V May be a game i'm okay with to be on a HDD

[wary fjord]

i say games that needed loading speed is

open world

[hollow barn]

Yeah, but for some reason CS:GO was quite a bit faster on a SSD

[paper verge]

CSGO?

[wary fjord]

it will

[hollow barn]

Yeah, Counter Strike Golbal Offense

Sadly that game has been taken down 😔

[wary fjord]

and the reason behind it because its a god damn ssd

xD

[hollow barn]

Yeah

i can tell when i'm home what HDD i used

[wary fjord]

you loading character skins model and their guns

preloaded that

before game start

[wary fjord]

u still playing csgo

i thought that was dead

[hollow barn]

Last time was like 2021 i guess

Before it was removed anyways

Wait

i have a list of PC parts.

I used that HDD: Western Digital 1TB SATA 3.5 Hard Drive

Anyways, gtg

[gilded kraken]

scam

fake russian website hyperlinked

[mighty hazel]

Csgo still around but it needs a workaround to play it

[tranquil pebble]

I only use that game for GMod assets anyways

[craggy shoal]

Still don't understand why people ask other people before going to Google 💀

[tranquil pebble]

I generally Google something before asking... lol

unless its something I have no idea how to search

[craggy shoal]

yeah I'm saying that there are a lot of people who don't

[tranquil pebble]

yeah fr, one server I'm in renamed their general channel to "Did you google it" for a while

[tranquil pebble]

I've found Bing GPT helpful here sometimes though

[craggy shoal]

If you have no idea how to search it then you're just bad at using Google

[tranquil pebble]

I was good at it until advanced operators stopped working like they used to lol

most searches work still though

[craggy shoal]

Priorities should be in this order:

1. Google it
2. Use a GPT if it's a general question. If it's more specific, move to step 3
3. Ask a person/people

Not this:

1. Ask a person/people
2. I don't know how to Google

cough zthree cough

[tranquil pebble]

yeah fr

I use a GPT to help me use search sometimes. This is what Bing GPT is.

Its like GPT that cites its sources. (One of the very few Bing Ws)

but yeah I'd never use the raw output of GPT on its own

[craggy shoal]

You should try a website called Poe. It's basically a website that has a bunch of different AIs (like Claude, ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion) all combined in to one hub
https://poe.com/

It's personally my goto

And it's free unless you want to pay $19.99/month to unlock all features (last I've checked)

[tranquil pebble]

The way I see it is AI is a tool with limitations that many people don't understand... and try to use it in ways it isn't suitable for.

Like making code from absolute nothing?

Yes, i had seen that been done before

Especially i saw once where someone just said "MAKE IT SMALLER" while it was already as far Clyde knew as small as it can be

And i mean like that it is still readable within reason

[misty sparrow]

"Hey GPT, tell me how to make the top post of r/wallstreetbets"

[hollow barn]

I just discovered a one line code myself.

aka: py if input("Input: ").lower() == "water": print("Hello")

Yes, that is literally a thing that can be done
