general-chat

[stiff scarab]

@wispy wedge also does your thing include of?

you think im dumb 😔

[wispy wedge]

didn't say that. but you need to know what problem you're solving before you can figure out how to solve it.

[stiff scarab]

well like i said the video resolution is fine but its lack of color and vibrance

its almost as if its color was bleeded out a bit

i cant think of the right word

but its like its slightly faded

not as much contrast as the original

[lone lichen]

whats the issue storm

[stiff scarab]

well since the cats out of the bag anyway once again by @elfin mural

@lone lichen i have an onlyfans subscription and iv been downloading content from male creators, and the downloaded version is not like the original of contrast and vibrance

the resolution of pixels is fine

[wispy wedge]

what tool are you using to download this content?

[stiff scarab]

well okay maybe actually a bit blurry

[wispy wedge]

90% chance the tool here is the problem.

[stiff scarab]

every paid one i could think of

i got refunded for each

[lone lichen]

did you restart the device

first and for most

get that out of the way

[stiff scarab]

you mean restart my pc?

[lone lichen]

yeah

[stiff scarab]

yes

[lone lichen]

k

[elfin mural]

this is spiraling into nothing

[deep parcel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/736425921346797588.gif?v=1

[stiff scarab]

what do you mean?

[elfin mural]

because it is a non-issue issue

[deep parcel]

I think its a troll issue issue

[elfin mural]

there's no problems with anything

[lone lichen]

i was messaged for tech support by someone

is this a tech support issue

[wispy wedge]

hi yes which way does the CPU go into the socket

[elfin mural]

not really, just some lack of information blended into a concern

[wispy wedge]

do the gold contacts go face up???

ah i see it fits diagonally.

@stiff scarab what i think a lot of people are saying is that at best this sounds like an issue with the tool you're using to download these videos, not a hardware support discord

[lone lichen]

what????
YOU JUST ANWSERED YOUR OWN QUSTION

[elfin mural]

lmao

[lone lichen]

omg do not use any of this

[wispy wedge]

unrealistic.

that is not nearly enough thermal paste.

[lone lichen]

might as well just throw it in the trash

[elfin mural]

the only thing i see is video player zooming vidoes they downloaded in

so the blurriness is easier to see

finer details stretched

[lone lichen]

damn good eye

[stiff scarab]

wait you think im a troll?

[deep parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

wait not you storm, a few of the others

[stiff scarab]

@deep parcel no im someone paying for the cats out of the bag now so onlyfans and i just want to get the exact quality i pay for of onlyfans

oh okay

@elfin mural are you annoyed with me?

[elfin mural]

no

im just stating the solution to your issue

experiment with other video players

since the videos themselves have no problem

[stiff scarab]

oh i did!!

i can even tell you what i tried

byclickdownloader, itubego, 4k downloader etc

each one didnt fix the problem

so maybe it is my computer

i mean im not gonna lie this computers componets are not the best performance

[wispy wedge]

Oh

[stiff scarab]

there average at most

[elfin mural]

i meant video players

not downloaders

[wispy wedge]

Do you know that OnlyFans allows creators to enable WebDRM?

[lone lichen]

and trackers

[wispy wedge]

I'm betting this is the problem.

[stiff scarab]

@wispy wedge whats that?

im actually ignorant to that

[wispy wedge]

You cannot reliably download videos streamed with WebDRM enabled.

(this is the whole point of WebDRM)

[deep parcel]

VLC, windows media player, movies and tv. several local video players.

[elfin mural]

I couldn't express the issue correctly due to its nsfw nature lol

[lone lichen]

they all come with web trackers and some have linked virus attached now

[deep parcel]

Likely you wont be able to even download it like they are saying due to DRM.

OF would not want their creators content being stolen and reuploaded elsewhere

[elfin mural]

The videos were paid for, and downloaded from original source

[stiff scarab]

i tried everyone and each one same thing except vlc green screen

[deep parcel]

ah

[elfin mural]

So there's no drms

It's straight from the creator

[stiff scarab]

yeah no im not stealing!!!

i paid for it

but i cant subscribe to every hot guy

[lone lichen]

why not

[stiff scarab]

so i need to download what i loose access to after a month

[stiff scarab]

are you crazy lol im not rich

[lone lichen]

lol

[deep parcel]

honestly if its just lacking contrast and that sort of issue related it could just be the content creators issue. camera used, lighting etc.

[stiff scarab]

theres at least 200 um moviestars

[somber skiff]

I run an onlyfans, but it's sanyo denki, nidec, sunon, and delta.

[stiff scarab]

i want to subscribe to

[stiff scarab]

but thats just it the original is the more contrast vibrant

my downloads are not

[elfin mural]

it's the video player then

your pc shouldn't be too old to run vlc

[lone lichen]

yeah its th eplayer

[wispy wedge]

i wonder how long this loop of confusion will continue for

[stiff scarab]

@elfin mural

[elfin mural]

so to hopefully end the confusion

[lone lichen]

its the video player

[elfin mural]

nah you don't need to even pay anything

[stiff scarab]

i couldnt even try vlc if i wanted to

each video comes back green

[deep parcel]

rare 3 core cpu lol

[lone lichen]

i was just gonna ssay

really reare

[stiff scarab]

yeah like i said my components are not the highest

decent at best

[elfin mural]

you might need to reinstall windows

since this issue sounds like a software issue

more than hardware needing upgrades

[deep parcel]

^

[stiff scarab]

so many people messaging at the same time

[lone lichen]

yeah

6 AGRREED

[elfin mural]

run command promt

[stiff scarab]

@deep parcel you first whats your solution again?

[lone lichen]

6

[elfin mural]

type /sfc scannow

[lone lichen]

^

[elfin mural]

and wait for it

[stiff scarab]

i know that scan

iv done it before

its the system scan

[elfin mural]

was there any problems?

[stiff scarab]

so many people typing at once

[elfin mural]

okay, i can actually look at the file for you rn and tell you what to do

[stiff scarab]

very hard to keep up

[elfin mural]

send me a link in the dm

[stiff scarab]

what file?

[elfin mural]

video file

like you told me yesterday

[stiff scarab]

uh sure let me get one

but before i do that so my head can clam down

@deep parcel what was your solution again?

[elfin mural]

take your time if you need

[stiff scarab]

im gonna ask you all one by one

because yeah that was a lot i couldnt keep up on

[deep parcel]

the same as what Foxy said, which was to try different video players like VLC.

[stiff scarab]

i dont know how you people handle this

okay that was your solution got it

@lone lichen and your solution?

[atomic current]

Can you do something for me a sec go into task manager, switch to the performance tab, right click on the CPU graph and turn it to logical processors, and then screenshot task manager in full screen

[stiff scarab]

@atomic current oh yeah sure!

and sorry its just i feel im telepathic and im reading everyones thoughts at once

[atomic current]

I've been dying to know what tricore cpus look like in taskman

[stiff scarab]

and its very stressful

i dont know how you all do it

[mortal grail]

Storm genuine answer here, washing out will have everything to do with the encode end they use on the downloader you pick. Has everything to do with how they capture the vid. changing your hardware will only enable more codecs to be read (i.e more file types) that's really it

[atomic current]

Take your time, step back for a bit if you need, and maybe distract yourself or something you might otherwise do for self regulation

[elfin mural]

looks normal to me

[stiff scarab]

oh wait did you want full screen of cpu?

let me take it again

[atomic current]

It's beautiful 💖

[stiff scarab]

@lone lichen so what was your solution again?

@wispy wedge also does that dip thing alllow OF?

[elfin mural]

cpu usage looks about right for an old cpu

[somber skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-want-to-live-on-this-planet-anymore-futurama-planet-gif-12955936

[stiff scarab]

wait are you okay!!!!

so you all dont think i need to get a gpu? or a new high performance cpu?

or more ram

or better?

ram

its so hard to keep up with everyones thoughts

[wispy wedge]

i must admit I do struggle to get my web browsing done with 192GB of DDR5 and the A4000

[stiff scarab]

now i know how a telepath feels

wait luke you didnt answer?

[atomic current]

Thank you 🫡

[elfin mural]

just, try to process things one by one

[stiff scarab]

okay so yours and @deep parcel was try other video players

@atomic current what was your solution?

or did you not give one

@somber skiff what was your solution or did you not give one?

@mortal grail what was your solution?

[deep parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-24935909

[mortal grail]

.

find a new downloader that doesn't wash it out

and/or encodes better quality

not a pc problem

[stiff scarab]

@mortal grail any suggestions?

[mortal grail]

bruh

[stiff scarab]

are you annoyed with me?

[atomic current]

I think your computer, while it is old, should be able to process video encoding adequately

[deep parcel]

not really, but instead of asking again you can scroll back up a bit to find their message.

[stiff scarab]

@deep parcel yeah but im worried if i do that then ill already be lost in the chat when i finally return

plus im also just enjoying talking to you

all

could not even tell another guy in this server was hitting on me

[lone lichen]

lol

[stiff scarab]

i do have the computer my ex bought me

i could try it tommorow

i havent opened it because it was before i found out he was cheating

[elfin mural]

it's worth a try

[stiff scarab]

this was the last server i thought id be recpriocating mature flirting with of another guy

im actually perplexed by the amount of queer guys in this server

[wispy wedge]

wut

[stiff scarab]

@wispy wedge wut?

i dont understand why you said wut?

did everyone leave?

[stiff scarab]

wait what?

[atomic current]

There are some 👀

[lone lichen]

knock knck

[stiff scarab]

is everyone asleep but me?

[atomic current]

It happens

I think most of my servers are pretty silent after hours

[paper verge]

no its 12AM rn

[hoary zodiac]

Fascinating convo

Any interesting tech news in the past few months?

Been kinda out of the loop

[elfin mural]

nothing much lol

liquid freezer iii came out i guess

one of the best aios available again

[devout forum]

Arctic and Thermalright be their usual self

[next knoll]

can someone suggest a good cheap mouse

[hoary zodiac]

Pog

[pseudo raven]

theres a couple depending on how you hold yours

and what shape youd like

and also where you can buy from i guess

aliexpress is probably the best place for cheap good mice

[next knoll]

id like a comfortable mouse, if wired it should be braided, and fast

[pseudo raven]

comfortable doesnt really mean anything

what mouse do you use right now?

[next knoll]

g102

[pseudo raven]

also theres good wireless mice under like $50 nowadays so

ah ok

try the zaopin z1 pro

[next knoll]

stopped working due to the wire being bent

[pseudo raven]

its a similar shape to the g102, but much better sensor, probably a bit lighter too

[next knoll]

looks good

is it reliable

[pseudo raven]

well

[next knoll]

in longrun

[pseudo raven]

yeah its quality is alright, i havent really heard of issues with it

but truth is when you try to go cheaper the only option for good stuff is chinese companies which are generally harder to get support from

oh you could look at the razer orochi

though ngl id just go for the z1 pro, havent heard anything in the way of issues about it

not like razer quality is the best stuff out there anyway

[next knoll]

How is g502

[pseudo raven]

well its shaped nothing like your old mouse

and its very heavy

[next knoll]

I don't use a mouse pad so I don't want it to lose its pads

[pseudo raven]

you really should

get a mousepad

a decent one is like 8 bucks even

a qck or the razer one

[next knoll]

Okay

Is mech keys a good place to get this mouse from

Oh is the g502 bad or what

I can get it replaced incase

[pseudo raven]

if you play fps games

its a very heavy mouse

and its harder to be precise with heavy mice

[next knoll]

I don't play games

[pseudo raven]

oh

[next knoll]

Mostly work

[pseudo raven]

just for general use?

i was giving you gaming mouse reccs lmao

go get an orochi or something then

its great

[next knoll]

And more keys kinda helps with multi Tasking

[pseudo raven]

ohh

yeah work mice im not really sure

i know a lot about gaming mice but not really work mice

[wispy wedge]

I like the Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse for work

[pseudo raven]

for work use anything logitech should be good

[next knoll]

Also what's the difference in 402 and 502

Look so similar

Getting for 20 usd cheaper

[wispy wedge]

Logitech MX Master 3 is also a good work mouse

but suspect that might be outta your price range

[pseudo raven]

402 is significantly older

[next knoll]

Yes

[pseudo raven]

but i think the 402 will be just fine for your use

[next knoll]

are there any good wireless ones

cuz the one i have just bent

and keeps disconnecting

[pseudo raven]

402 isnt wireless?

[next knoll]

no

[pseudo raven]

ngl id just reccoemnd looking around on amazon for work mice

you can find much cheaper stuff and itll all hold up for work just fine

if you get it from amazon returns will be easier too

[next knoll]

can you please recommend a brand

[wary fjord]

i found a great way to straighten bended pins yesterday @idle nexus xD

using mechanical pencil

xD

it fits like a gloves

then u can just gently bent it xD

[pseudo raven]

anker, maybe?

if youre trying to go budget a no name amazon brand is probably best

as i said i dont really have any knowledge on the office mice side of things, just gaming mice

[wary fjord]

xD

i cant recall the other anime that i watched before .. i wish i use this site at 2014 xD

i bet i atleast get 700+ anime

or more

[remote geode]

huh

[wary fjord]

u cant use it

xD

is ur steam asian

that seem region locked asian gift

[next knoll]

Just share some gaming ones then

The one you shared before looked great

like this Zaopin Z1 PRO 3395

[craggy shoal]

Idc if you call me crazy but any Asus mouse just for the hotswappable switches

[next knoll]

can you name some

also how good is g304 lightspeed

cheap asf

[craggy shoal]

I can't name many, but I enjoyed my Gladius 2 for a bit until I wanted something with optical switches, so I got a Razer Viper V2(?)

[craggy shoal]

Nah

It'll start double-clicking on its own in a couple months, which is why I recommend Asus mice

For the Asus mice, I can't give you a good suggestion, as I haven't tried many. I suggest checking their website and see what you like

Same with Razer. Just make sure that the Razer mouse has optical switches and not mechanical (same for any mouse tbh)

[next knoll]

okay

[north crescent]

Also ghub is pain

[next knoll]

i know

ayo is this a thing

silent mouse button

[north crescent]

Dont know wtf world Logitech is on killing all their good software for ghub

[next knoll]

ASUS MW203

[craggy shoal]

Yes. But it feels mushy. Not great for gaming imo

[tranquil pebble]

Getting ready to do a clean Windows install for the first time in ~3 years lol

[velvet summit]

I need to do that

[next knoll]

i can imagine lol

[tranquil pebble]

Debating on if I want to go back to Windows 10 or not

[craggy shoal]

Man the longest I've waited was two years

[tranquil pebble]

I feel like Windows 10 is less likely to break from random updates than 11

[craggy shoal]

I usually do some sort of upgrade around every two years though

[tranquil pebble]

There are people who do clean installs almost every day

[craggy shoal]

dude that's nuts

[tranquil pebble]

usually for testing

[craggy shoal]

couldn't imagine

oh of course

[tranquil pebble]

not daily driver

yeah doing that on your main pc would be absurd

[velvet summit]

I sure hope they have a PxE server or smth for that lmfao

Or wds

[tranquil pebble]

probably do... or a BMC with microSD

you can automate OS deployment with IPMI/BMC

[craggy shoal]

I wish I had a PXE server

Just so I don't have to dig for my Ventoy USB so often 💀

[velvet summit]

💀

[tranquil pebble]

I should put Ventoy on my external NVMe drive

one nice thing with the external SSD being bigger than a flash drive is it is easier to find it

[craggy shoal]

I should do the same tbh just for that reason lol

[tranquil pebble]

sus

link is fake

[next knoll]

how to get it in bank

[tranquil pebble]

thats a scam

[craggy shoal]

@random osprey #general-chat message
This guy right here (also in other channels)

[velvet summit]

How to get it in bank

[tranquil pebble]

...yeeted and deleted

probably an account from someone who clicked on a similar link

[tranquil pebble]

well, SSD is also many times faster than a flash drive, even with USB bottleneck

[misty sparrow]

I have a Windows-To-Go flash drive that I'm using right now

play GTAV and a bunch of games on it

flash drive pains

[velvet summit]

isnt windows to go kill

[tranquil pebble]

flash drives shouldnt be used for most things lol

they're way too slow, and have poor endurance

[misty sparrow]

works fine

this one has lasted two years

[tranquil pebble]

plus they're not even all that great of value anymore with how much SSDs dropped in price

[misty sparrow]

i needed a tiny flash drive anyway

[velvet summit]

[misty sparrow]

this one is about as small as a mouse dongle

needed people to think "oh, it's just a mouse dongle" and not a fully-fledged USB

[velvet summit]

why do you need a flash drive so small lmao

[misty sparrow]

i want to play games at work

bringing a fully-fledged flash drive is too suspicious

but mouse dongles are okay

so i got this PNY flash drive that looks like a mouse dongle

[velvet summit]

put it in the back

[misty sparrow]

we have laptops

[velvet summit]

💀

wouldnt it be noticable if you play any game then

fans go vrrrrr

[misty sparrow]

the fans on the laptop already spin very fast to begin with

they don't really change much

it's very underpowered even when running off its internal storage so the fans spin rapidly

so i can just play GTAV story mode while at work and nobody notices

[velvet summit]

shouldnt you be like

doing work though

[misty sparrow]

what if i'm on break

[velvet summit]

do they have a policy against doing whatever during your break lmao

[misty sparrow]

no phones policy

didn't use a phone anyway

[velvet summit]

damn

why no phones

[misty sparrow]

i think it's because they don't want people taking pictures of stuff

[velvet summit]

oh

[misty sparrow]

so people just turn in their lil phones when they walk in

i also use this flash drive to see what the degenerates on r/pcmasterrace are doing

funny to see what gets a bunch of karma and what doesn't

[lone mango]

A 4090 founders can fit

Somehow

[worthy tapir]

I still have an arc a380 laying around. Have no idea what to do with it.

[velvet summit]

they even had enough clearance to route the cables around the gpu

[worthy tapir]

Are they any good for emulation

[velvet summit]

instead of on top

[velvet summit]

av1 encoder box

[rancid juniper]

yes

[worthy tapir]

I bought it out of impulse a year ago

[rancid juniper]

i think you can play a good amount of emulated games on the a380

just make sure to pair it with a modern system

for rebar support

[worthy tapir]

Only reason I stopped using it was the cpu I had with it didn't support resizeable bar officially "ryzen 2600"

[lone mango]

I used to have that too

[rancid juniper]

aint no way

[worthy tapir]

Then I had a coworker sell me his evga 3060ti for $200 so I never used it after that

[elfin mural]

wow

a380 is like

weakest of the bunch

[rancid juniper]

fr

[worthy tapir]

Wish I had gotten a low profile one. This is the one I have

[elfin mural]

lmao

rt in low end gpu

[rancid juniper]

this one is better imo

[elfin mural]

asrock

[worthy tapir]

Yeah wish I had that one tbh

[rancid juniper]

doubt it would work with oem pcs

like do they even have rebar on their bios?

(dell, hp, lenovo desktops)

[worthy tapir]

How do the new ryzen 8600g etc compare to the a380

[elfin mural]

8600g looks equal

8700g with 780m should take the lead

actually

i think 780m matches a380

[sweet phoenix]

that sounds about right

[mint comet]

Anyone available for some pc help

[sweet phoenix]

sure

[wooden marten]

how much would you have to underclock a 4090 for it to run stable on a single fan?

[mint comet]

This pc sounds like the power supply wants to kick on but shuts off. His cpu cooler comes on for a second and then shuts off.

[sweet phoenix]

that is not a question i care to do the research to find out

[sweet phoenix]

check connections, what mobo and cpu is it

also what psu

[viral heron]

It's 0x0000001e

I cant find any information on it

It just did it again same code

[unreal trail]

[worthy tapir]

Does he have a cap? Depending on the isp after so much used they slow the speeds down.

[chrome mirage]

No, they are just trying to get him to upgrade so they keep slowing it down. Some people came in a few months ago to fix his internet and told him that the ISP shut his internet off.

[crude wolf]

can he just switch so some other internet provider

[chrome mirage]

Yeah but he's old and doesn't want to

[crude wolf]

and how much he pays for it

[chrome mirage]

$105

[crude wolf]

oh thats alot

[chrome mirage]

Same amount I pay for gigabit

[crude wolf]

thats should be cheaper

it wasnt very reliable lmfao

[crude wolf]

well there are 2 wifi networks in my home

[sweet phoenix]

thats probably being limited by my wifi cable too

[sweet phoenix]

im using a 5e cable and we've 6e

[velvet summit]

a few months ago they added fiber so for the same price as the previous, i now have 3 gigabit

[sweet phoenix]

yeah it has bios flashback

user manual should explain how to use it on gigabytes website

[velvet summit]

i wonder if it has dual bios

[chrome mirage]

Bell is trying to make my grandpa upgrade to 5mbps for $83 a month

[velvet summit]

not that would help in the case of a bios version that's too old though

[crude wolf]

crazy

[velvet summit]

that's like how much i'm paying for 3 gig

also from bell

[crude wolf]

5mb for 83 dollars is a crime

[velvet summit]

bell's plans are weird

[crude wolf]

idk what bell is

[velvet summit]

like, every plan from slow ass like 1mbps internet costs only a little bit less than a 8gbps plan

[crude wolf]

oh it some canada wifi service provider

[velvet summit]

they're one of the only real isps in canada

every other "isp" in canada normally doesnt have their own infrastructure

they would have their own backend, like a datacenter, but barely any of them actually have any lines that run to customer houses

all of those are owned by basically bell or rogers or telus

[crude wolf]

im confused why fibe 150, fibe 50 and the 10 mb packages are the same price

all 3 are 55 dollars

[velvet summit]

i would like to know that as well

[crude wolf]

idk in canadian or us dollars

[velvet summit]

cad prob

[mint comet]

Thanks

[velvet summit]

55cad is more like 40usd or so

DAMN my estimate was basically spot on

[crude wolf]

and 75 dollars is basically 55usd

idk if the lone wolf grandpa is using the 10mb plan with the worst speeds when he can upgrade to 150mb

no extra cost

[velvet summit]

idk

honestly not upgrading is probably costing bell more in terms of maintaining ancient infrastructure lmao

they probably have old equipment servicing just his grandpa

because he hasnt switched

[mint comet]

@sweet phoenix Which bios do I need?

[sweet phoenix]

just do the newest that isnt beta

[mint comet]

Ok

[chrome mirage]

The price goes up after 2 years and that's when the price difference comes in

[chrome mirage]

He has a high speed internet plan from like 18 years ago

[crude wolf]

18 years?

thats 3g network

[chrome mirage]

He never upgraded

[crude wolf]

idk if he is on a fixed income

[dusk knot]

Mmmh

[wooden marten]

Am I dumb? Amazon lists the dimensions as 17in wide and I measured it, definitely not 17 in fact only 8in

no way in hell thats 17inches wide

[grand kernel]

probably the outer box is 10.5 inches wide

and 21x17 in the other dimensions

[crude wolf]

its some mistake with the dimensions

[devout forum]

Definitely packing material

Manufacturer tends to pack like at least 6 inches of foam width around the case and then the double boxing

[mortal grail]

10.5 is about correct for standard pc case width

[devout forum]

Oh yeah it could be the seller incorrectly adding measurements

Or an Amazon employee made a mistake and promptly got terminated for it

[sinful blade]

Yeah that happens sometimes and then they cover up the murder

[wooden marten]

$109 a month for this 😭

[sinful blade]

Don’t even bother with that

[wooden marten]

16gb ddr4

[wooden marten]

ik i just saw a video on it and wanted to see what it was

[paper verge]

thats gotta be nzxt

[sinful blade]

There’s a website I saw

[wooden marten]

ofc its nzxt so its a big rip off

[sinful blade]

Hold

[devout forum]

Is that like some game streaming thing?

[wooden marten]

No you rent a pc for a month

[devout forum]

Or the monthly payment on a PC

[mighty hazel]

💀💀

[devout forum]

Oh my God that's DISGUSTING

[mighty hazel]

Like just go to one of those “gaming arenas” if u wanna try a gaming pc lol

[paper verge]

the fact they put a heatsink on a mobo 2.5x the price

is funny

[mighty hazel]

Paying 100 bucks a month is crazy tho

[devout forum]

You can BUY that PC in a year's worth of renting lmao

[paper verge]

wait thats for renting?

bruh thought its some monthly charge

[sinful blade]

https://viprtech.com/product/desktops/prebuilt/rebel-amd-3060/

[wooden marten]

Yes its $109 a month to rent it

[paper verge]

bro 💀

[sinful blade]

Sad that it’s a 2600, but that’s not the worst deal I’ve ever seen

[paper verge]

dude istg some dude was like it would be funny if we rented out pcs

[sinful blade]

Especially for a prebuilt 3060

[sinful blade]

Have you ever heard of the gaming bus

[paper verge]

no

tf is that

[sinful blade]

It’s mostly state dependent
But you can rent out a bus with 1-16 gaming consoles/computers for hours/days at a time
A lot come with delivery of bus, along with a bunch of complimentary services

[paper verge]

thats a game net/caffee bruh

[sinful blade]

Costs range from $199, to $899 on the high end

[paper verge]

i pay less than a single dollar for 3080 ti in my country per hour

tbf them pcs r cooked

[sinful blade]

get me one pls

[paper verge]

3080 ti be like 3070

[paper verge]

if you get economy which is a 2070 i think its like less than 0.25$

[sinful blade]

[paper verge]

and its not like some indian slum

[elfin mural]

don't think that's a rent price

it's payments

as in financing a pc

[paper verge]

.

[elfin mural]

oh i just read it

lol

that's ridiculous

[devout forum]

110 bucks a month financing would be bad
110 bucks a month to RENT a PC would be ridiculous

[elfin mural]

my mom pays 60 a month for my laptop

financing ofc

[devout forum]

110 bucks for RENTING a computer that doesn't even have a MFing 4090

[elfin mural]

well

[devout forum]

It's got a MFING 4070

[elfin mural]

they offer upgrades every two years

[devout forum]

Not even the super

Bog standard 4070

[elfin mural]

but still

bad deal

not even worth it

[paper verge]

4070 super aint that much better than the 4070 bruh

not worth the 110

[devout forum]

I can probably finance a prebuilt with a 4090 for about 100 bucks a month

[elfin mural]

nah

[paper verge]

i can also finance a nuclear bomb for about 100 bucks a month over a decade period

[devout forum]

Uh
4070 Super is almost 4070 Ti tho

[elfin mural]

that would need 3 years financing

why is a nuclear bomb suddenly mentioned

that's outta nowhere

from my experience

[paper verge]

yeah u realize nuclear bombs dont amit radiation

[elfin mural]

you're lucky you can even finance a pc longer than a year

so the payments are pretty high monthly

[paper verge]

why am i even talking about this

tf

[devout forum]

Most financing here is 24 months

24 or 36

Unless it's a car
Then it's like 60 to 120 months

[elfin mural]

a lot of places offer only up to 12 here

120 months is ridiculous for any car

[paper verge]

finance everythnig

helps with credits

[elfin mural]

way too old to be worth owning

[devout forum]

It's a really cheap financing tbf

[elfin mural]

car financing should be 5 years tops

[devout forum]

But most are like 5 years

We're just poor for the most part

[elfin mural]

because the car will be too old to be worth it to pay

if you can't afford to pay off in 5 years

i recommend against owning a car

[paper verge]

bro bo2 got an update

real

[elfin mural]

value will have dropped so hard after 5 years

but ah well

banks pay the dealers

dealers take no loss if the car gets repo'd

but banks suffer

[devout forum]

Finance is a crapshoot

Honestly

[paper verge]

finance another life

[elfin mural]

financing can be nice only if you can afford said things

or not do that at all actually

using credit card is better

build credit without doing all that crap

anyway im in no way a professional advisor lol

and i better sleep now

[paper verge]

kiss kiss sleepy baby

[icy ore]

Just don’t get too much on your credit card to where you can’t afford that either

Cos APR will kill you

[elfin mural]

ya

[devout forum]

Basically use credit card for everything but don't spend more than you earn

Builds credit score faster

[icy ore]

If you’re using a credit card to build credit it’s good to have (x) amount on it at the end of the month and pay it off

Like use it for gas throughout the month and then pay that off

[tacit geode]

heh

like certain people

[devout forum]

Realistically you'd want to make it so that your paycheck will pay it off

[proud jackal]

[chrome mirage]

I had a dream last night that I had to pay off my credit card. I don't have a credit card

[paper verge]

[wary fjord]

[grand kernel]

it's made to scam people that are incapable of saving up but still want to flex stuff

I saw some company offering gpu leasing at hilarious prices

all their marketing was like "own the cutting edge" "you deserve the best"

$300/month to lease a 3090 and you gotta return it after a year

lol

[tranquil pebble]

massive rip off

[grand kernel]

some people have to be falling for it if the company is still around

[wary fjord]

Hmm people that host event probably will still bite that offer xD i dont know exactly how they use the card for event.. but theres instancr where they buy bunch of cards on a event and resell it after the event end..

Weird

[tranquil pebble]

literally better off just buying it on credit card and paying it off that way

@sweet phoenix updating it now.

Ok so it blinked and did the update for the bios but its still not turning on. When you turn the power supply on the cpu cooler screen turns on and then off and the psu makes a sound like its trying to turn on but doesn't?

802.3bt (60w) = 802.3bt type 3

What is the Max Mico SD Card my ASUS Chromebook CX1 (CX1700) can handly?

[velvet summit]

why an sd card

it probably can handle like 1tb at least, but there really isnt any reason to use a microsd card

they are slow and unreliable

and expensive

even usb flash drives, while also slow and not the greatest in reliability, is cheaper, faster, and more reliable than microsd cards lmao

that yours?

kinda like this tbh

[wary fjord]

no way detective conan still alive

since 1996

still airing xD

and he still a child xD they havent fix him yet

[idle nexus]

never seen it tbh

[wary fjord]

depends on mobo

some will find it useless to boot without it xD some will just light up

[idle nexus]

ngl I've never tried this but it probably works & just won't go past BIOS

I'd think you'd need a GPU installed for sure tho

can't use integrated graphics on your CPU with a CPU

[wary fjord]

wait for everything

testing it without cpu doesnt mean it works

sometimes u get cpu and mobo together and us till has no post xD

#building-and-recc-chat

[wooden marten]

This stuff blows my mind, how the absolute f was this originally $450

[wary fjord]

you have to talk

abit more

until ur name turns green

it means u level up enough to be responsible to upload not weird images

no i dea it should be fast

Every minute that you're messaging, you randomly gain between 15 and 25 XP.
To avoid spamming, earning XP is limited to once a minute per user.

[tranquil pebble]

so true

[wary fjord]

check ur rank at #ranks-and-levels

it will tell how much xp u need to go up

u need atleast lvl 3 xD

u type /rank there

[idle nexus]

in hindsight, maybe I should've used these cuz they're way cheaper & would've probably looked okay if I learned to solder

look in the box

for a plastic thing

that you seat all the individual connections in it

then plug it into front panel all at once

heck I thought I had one lying around for some reaosn...

[wary fjord]

those looks like it can leak xD

i dont know

[idle nexus]

nvm I realized you're talking about the case not an NZXT motherboard

[wary fjord]

how do you seal that.. do you use those white stuff u put on the tube so it will be water tight

its like a tape or something

[idle nexus]

solder

[idle nexus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3IrH15z-Fs

pros make it look easy lol

if I had flux, I might give it a try

ur tubing is already pretty

stick on that

xD

[mighty hazel]

msrp i guess

crypto prices

[idle nexus]

looks kinda cool finished

[idle nexus]

lol this exists

they're likely all in there as one connection

I think it's the same on nearly every board

[mortal grail]

No

Do not

[idle nexus]

which one? don't play around with those 12vhpwr 12+4s. They arc & fry lol

you may wanna plug it into the GPU before you install the GPU so you can so it like nice & straight

it appears to be against the other connection

like it can't go in any further

did that cable come with it or is it an extension you got for the build?

which GPU?

[lone mango]

What if debloat

[dusk knot]

noice'

[idle nexus]

heck it probably would've been easier to put the CPU in prior to installing the board

nice white setup tho

[idle nexus]

that front panel connection is pretty convenient. nice

looks correct to me. is this cable too short to connect up here? assuming that's argb & so is at least one of those headers by the arrow

heck nvm then

kinda in the way but usb c worth it lol

These would look so clean on there https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B56LHGRC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

btw nice work. this was your first build?

looks pretty heckin nice. What CPU/cooler are you putting in there?

[next knoll]

Yeah I can imagine the keys must be mushy

If I'm to put some money in, what mouse can I get that has a lot of keys and is wireless

[idle nexus]

btw is there a little black cover thing that came with the board to cover the socket until you're ready for CPU install? not entirely necessary but good for peace of mind lol

putting it on the top of the case?

should look pretty darn good lol

wow I don't think I even knew this feature existed

[proud jackal]

For the smol screen with waifus in it

[idle nexus]

does that mean there's like graphics integrated into the motherboard?

[wooden marten]

Dont forget the io shield

I forgot to put that in

Little metal plate that comes with your motherboard

that covers the ports in the back

How's this for a mouse with a lot of keys
Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed

[tranquil pebble]

Razer has naga... now they need lamia

[crude wolf]

it’s pretty useful since it stops dust and moisture and its protects the ports from being affected by power surges or discharges that will fry them but overall not required in a system

its a metal piece that fits your usb 2, usb 3.2, display ports, hdmi, ethernet and other ports

[sour falcon]

for what purpose

[pseudo raven]

if you see yourself actually using all those buttons there isnt much like it

maybe an aerox 9

will be a bit lighter

[next knoll]

I see

Ah that's like twice the price lol

Ill either stick with the Razer one or the silent one depending on the budget

@dusk knot yo want to see todays photos?

[dusk knot]

yes sir. i took one as well

[gleaming sedge]

only 130MB

[idle nexus]

well

[nocturne flicker]

In layman's terms, there are two NVMe drives in the system and they are set up in a way that they are reported as one drive in the system as a 2tb. They are a bit better in terms of performance due to it, but if one of the NVMe drives fails all of your data on both of them will be lost

the dude made a video arguing that memory speed dosen't really affect performance that much
