You need to get fertilized

[mortal grail]

The year's harvest has been terrible, we'll have to file for famine

[velvet summit]

Real

No

Four

[hoary zodiac]

Linguine riced up baby grain

[velvet summit]

Oh it's raining

[hoary zodiac]

graining

[mortal grail]

Oh it's graining

[velvet summit]

Rain kinda sounds like grain being poured

[mortal grail]

Ima go watch a movie 💀

[velvet summit]

I've never heard rain go glug

[velvet summit]

I hope it's graint

[hollow barn]

Should i mix RAM amounts?

[oak gale]

you mean get 2 diffrent ram sticks of two sizes?

[cedar compass]

Thermalright aios looks cool

[hollow barn]

Because i think i can use a SoDIMM DDR4 ram stick that is like 16GB with my laptop having only 8GB

But there is also 8GB SoDIMM Sticks

[oak gale]

you have 1 16gb stick and 2 8 gb stick?

i think the better option is 2 8gb stick

am not sure but i think you wont use the extra ram

since your specs are low end

[hollow barn]

okay, let's start from 1: i have the Acer Aspsire 3 with 8GB of DDR4 RAM Soldered, and i have one slot free to upgrade

[cedar compass]

Different size rams usually works worse

[hollow barn]

So i currently use Single Channel right now

[cedar compass]

Just get 1x8 or 2x16 rams and sell old 8gb

[hollow barn]

Yes i actually am gonna use the RAM:

[hollow barn]

I don't know if i can remove the old 8GB

oh, hold on, i watch a video rn

[oak gale]

discord and youtube dont need 8 gb of ram , let alone 16

[hollow barn]

i mean that:

[cedar compass]

if it's soldered on

[hollow barn]

Well, i have a upgrade option

[oak gale]

check before doing anything

[hollow barn]

i actually had it open

[oak gale]

are there slots?

[hollow barn]

and it has a slot as far i remember right

[cedar compass]

Yeah you can slap anpther 8gb and have 16gb total

[hollow barn]

But i should avoid mixing if possible?

[cedar compass]

Yes 1x8 and 1x16 combination is not good

[hollow barn]

Oh, so my Desktop that is queued for dusting should not run with 2x16GB and 2x8GB?

[cedar compass]

But you can get another 8gb with exact specs and mix it

[hollow barn]

well, i hadn't extracted the Motherboard of the laptop so i don't know if it is soldered.

[cedar compass]

Just watch disassembly video on YouTube 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hollow barn]

okay, that is better than risking the laptop board.

Ight, i can look at a disassembly video.

[cedar compass]

I always do before buying laptop to see ram and ssd upgrade patch

[hollow barn]

okay, it was more of a "If it runs okay for school, it should do"

It has a i3 which is also held at a choke hold by the RAM configuration

ngl, the inside looks similat to that:

but instead a crummy HDD i have a M.2 SSD if i understand right

[cedar compass]

I only see one ram slot

[hollow barn]

Yeah, that is what i was refering to and as far i'm aware mine is empty

Idk no more

i would beed to open it again

Which is easy

[cedar compass]

Yeah probably yours is empty. So just buy 8gb of ram and call it a day

[hollow barn]

So then my CPU and iGPU might have some better Performance when i happen to play some games right?

and i mean just something like ETS2

[cedar compass]

With dual channel probably things will work better

[hollow barn]

I guess so, well, now it is time that i find a suitable Stick

within reasonable price.

but like 19€ is too much:

to ask from my dad

What do they think i do? Churning out money like it is not big deal?

[hollow barn]

May you direct me to some normal SoDIMM DDR4 sticks that are not as expensive as that one: #general-chat message

[mortal grail]

Lh

[hollow barn]

Lost help?

[mortal grail]

Bh

[hollow barn]

Bring help?

[mortal grail]

Gh

[cedar compass]

Best place for laptop rams is Ebay in US

[hollow barn]

Get help?

[hollow barn]

dang, price went 📈

okay, that is more reasonable:

[cedar compass]

Crucial is alright

[elfin mural]

you don't gotta be so specific with ram

anything will work

[cedar compass]

Yeah he have 8gb soldered on ram so we don't know exact specs what we need

Idk if its 2666 or 3200mhz

[hollow barn]

Taskmanager says 2667MHz

[cedar compass]

1mhz OC

[hollow barn]

and that is what CPU-Z says:

So basically it is 2666MHz with like 1MHz tolerance

[cedar compass]

Yeah so any 2666mhz kit would do

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[cedar compass]

They're cheaper than 3200mhz

Sometimes

[hollow barn]

I don't think that i can even change it to a higher speed

If i did find a way, it would be faster than default speed

[craggy shoal]

Not a laptop (at least in most cases)

[cedar compass]

Soldered on rams is usually max what mobo can do

[hollow barn]

Yeah, i didn't bother to look deeper that is why

So i just await the answer of my dad now

[craggy shoal]

What's the CPU?

[hollow barn]

11th Gen intel core i3 1115G4 3GHz up to 4.2GHz

It is okay

[craggy shoal]

Oh I wouldn't even bother with memory speeds then

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

Intel = mem speeds don't matter and the memory speed hype is pointless no matter what people tell you

[hollow barn]

yeah, but i just wanted some more RAM for the games i may play on there and generally more RAM because i'm quite near limit rn:

I can make my RAM usage go only down to like 4GB

[cedar compass]

Yeah 8gb is joke nowadays

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I’ve been there 😂 then I stole 32GB from my previous job (they’re chill with it I swear)

[hollow barn]

lmfao

[craggy shoal]

Lollll

[hollow barn]

I got more ram by Mixing on my Desktop

And i got lucky that it worked out good

[craggy shoal]

Whatever you have to do lol

[hollow barn]

It is per label like 2666MHz RAM that is running confortable at like 3000MHz

Which i'm really greatful that it ran that comfortable at that speed

lmao, someone happened to sound like a owl and that caught me off guard

[hollow barn]

By the way, Guess how i set up the RAM Sticks in the slots.

in the Desktop PC

i got 2x8GB and 2x16GB

but my laptop has a RAM arrangement of Undefined

[hollow barn]

lmao, someone be like:

[gleaming rivet]

You would absolutely get better performance if you had 3200MHz ram vs 2666.

[hollow barn]

If my laptop would support it

which it most likely does not

If you Wanna know the laptop stuff, i know the drill: https://www.otto.de/p/acer-aspire-3-a315-58-34uq-notebook-39-62-cm-15-6-zoll-intel-core-i3-1115g4-uhd-graphics-512-gb-ssd-1777107447

[gleaming rivet]

I find the fact that you took a screenshot of this with the caption it has is disrespectful to the fact that someone was trying to help you and now you're posting it here making fun of them.

[hollow barn]

You don't know the history of when i wrote with him and what i tried to force down my throat

not figuratively, i mean over that chat

i'm a dude that is happy with WIndows 10 and he tried to force linux down my throat

in the most annoying way he could have done

I do get that, but i can if i have send the whole chat with light censoring due to the N word or something that might be racist.

i can do that

[gleaming rivet]

No

I don't want to see it nor do I care what he said to you.

[hollow barn]

Yeah, Long story short:

1. His grammar still aweful
2. Still somewhat trying to shove linux down my throat
3. Every time i said something occasionally he just says that:

Like i tried to adjust to the writing style but that is just caveman talk

I tried

[unreal trail]

unga bunga

[hollow barn]

and yet he got my heart rate to something i consider not healthy

[gleaming rivet]

Lol. Sorry not sorry, but for someone with poor grammar and spelling to say another person has awful grammar, amuses me.

[hollow barn]

if you like that so much why not sending a friend request, you definetely won't go insane

if you didn't catch that, i was being sarcastic

[gleaming rivet]

Oh, don't worry. I stopped replying to your DMs for a reason.

[hollow barn]

Wait, we had DMs?

Dang, i legit forgot

Anyways, if you feel like, there is his username: steavengameryt

anyone else: don't spam him because i don't want to needlessly give him attention

[mild dew]

damn who would have thought msi was shooting themselves in the foot making a deal with the devil

[hollow barn]

I use a Intel Laptop rn

[craggy shoal]

It's probably using modern Intel (like 13th or 14th gen), which consumes a lot more power

[craggy shoal]

Poor 11th gen i3 CPUs, only with 2 cores :/

Man I feel bad

[hollow barn]

THe laptop was under 500€

And it does the job

except for the RAM amount

[craggy shoal]

Yeah as long as it gets the job done

[hollow barn]

May you elaborate?

[craggy shoal]

2 cores in a CPU isn't a lot at all. 4-core CPUs barely get the job done in today's tasks

[hollow barn]

Yeah, there is occasional gaming, but usually just some basic task that this is plenty good for

I don't mean like Heavy games btw

i'm gonna make a salad rq

[icy ore]

Yeah I mean doesn’t an iPhone have like 6 cores

[hollow barn]

I don't give a Living [redacted] What iPhones have.

Yes, it's an iPhone, we all can go to a party about that now, i'm an Android user.

anyways, it does the job, that is all i want of the laptop

[icy ore]

I mean I think the s24 has like 10 cores or something I don’t personally care whether it’s android or apple I was just making a point core-wise

[hollow barn]

Yeah, but my main PC uses quite a bit of power

[sweet phoenix]

I would rather have less cores in my phone with longer battery

10 cores for my uses on mobile seems absolutely pointless

[icy ore]

Yeah tbf my 15 pro max seems to have worse battery life than my 13 pro max did

For some reason lol

[hollow barn]

The laptop does the job 🙂

Except RAM amount

[elfin mural]

you should upgrade it

[gloomy arch]

question, I have an EK nucleus AIO and whenever im in game is makes a high pitched noise. Thoughts?

and it only happens when in game. If im on just serfing the web it doesnt happen

[mighty hazel]

That might be your gpu

[gloomy arch]

i took the side pannel off and im almost 100% sure its the pump

[hollow barn]

Yeah, i asked my dad and he looks that evening

But unrelated to the laptop: Should only clear stuff come out when i release the liquid of the pressure tank of my air compressor?

Because some brown stuff came out instead.

in that Direction was the colour:

i got an image of what i mean:

That's rust right?

[elfin mural]

it's rust

[hollow barn]

I once cleaned a Dryer in an enclosed space

and it had somehwat in that Direction of a color

[hollow barn]

Wait, could really fine dust particles go in to the tank?

[elfin mural]

it shouldn't

[hollow barn]

Because the filter doesn't look paricularily fine

and i mean like it is rather roughly filtering

[elfin mural]

it's probably oxidation

remember water is h2o

[woven salmon]

anyone have a list that shows like the performance per dollar for the gpu and prososser?

[sinful blade]

We have the gpu perf chart up until last year in #graphics-cards pins

[flint surge]

im back

[hollow barn]

Well, i can show what the intake filter is

hold on

[elfin mural]

you can also ask us for gpu or pc advice

[woven salmon]

oh ok

[elfin mural]

what are you looking to do?

upgrading your pc, or building a new one?

[woven salmon]

building an new one

[elfin mural]

alright

you're in the us, right?

[woven salmon]

yup

[elfin mural]

what's your budget

[woven salmon]

like 1k to 1.5k?

[elfin mural]

do you need to include peripherals in the build, need wifi?

[woven salmon]

?

[elfin mural]

well

[woven salmon]

its my first time building a pc

[elfin mural]

like does the budget have to cover monitor, keyboard, mouse and stuff

[woven salmon]

no

[elfin mural]

and do you need wifi

[woven salmon]

no?

[elfin mural]

ok

gimme a sec

sorry for the questions lol

[sinful blade]

It’s to iron out your needs

[woven salmon]

is a AMD Ryzen 5 5500 a good cpu?

[flint surge]

FOXY!

hi

hey

foxy

[hollow barn]

Well, that is the filter:

[flint surge]

my mx230 is getting 40fps in minecraft 😭

@elfin mural

[hollow barn]

Dang, i would still call that workable

[flint surge]

wdym

lag spikes

go to 2 fps

[hollow barn]

I could still play with 40 fps

[flint surge]

for 5 seconds straight

[flint surge]

i want shaders badly

when i do them

[elfin mural]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZBsHgB @woven salmon

[flint surge]

i get 1

[woven salmon]

ok thanks a lot!

[elfin mural]

Here's what I'd do with 1.5k

[flint surge]

foxy

hi

[elfin mural]

Or actually, 1.5k

Hello

[flint surge]

hey

is my dell laptop good for gaming

inspiron 3593

1tb hdd model

i7 10th gen

[elfin mural]

good for older games

[flint surge]

i swapped to 1tb ssd

do u know the specs?

just like that?

i7 10th gen

@1.30 ghz

[woven salmon]

though I don't think I need 2tb since I currently have a msi laptop with 512gb and its not even half way full lol

probs 1tb?

[flint surge]

1tb m2 nvme i mean

still got 1 empty m.2 slot

but is the nvidia mx230 good

for gaming?

@woven salmon

[woven salmon]

idk...

[flint surge]

everyone on nvidia discord server

says

did u pick that up from the recycle bin

😭

... 😭

[woven salmon]

lol, I got my laptop a year ago for 1k but it feels like its worht 500

[flint surge]

i got that trashtop

for 1k $

US dollars

american dollars

and gets 20fps in fortnite

[woven salmon]

I have the MSI prestige 15 A11SC

[flint surge]

with 5 minutes long lagspikes

that reach 0fps

😭 😭

[woven salmon]

I used to get 100fps but a lot of lag spikes, idkw hat tf I did but now I get 40 fps

300 on mc though

[flint surge]

i know why

[woven salmon]

wha

[flint surge]

re-apply that crusty old thermal paste

[woven salmon]

? its a laptop

not pc

[flint surge]

i know

yes

u need to do it

u though pc only??

its for any laptop too

[woven salmon]

oh

[flint surge]

so go to a nearby

local pc technician

and make him reapply it

[woven salmon]

i know barely anyhting about a PC. I am the last personm someone should ask about a pc

[flint surge]

oh ok

@elfin mural

[elfin mural]

also btw

[flint surge]

hello

[elfin mural]

that 1.4k with 7900 gre

[flint surge]

is the mx230 good or not

[elfin mural]

that's a 1440p gpu

[proud jackal]

[flint surge]

i bought my inspiron 3593 for 1k dollars american

[elfin mural]

maybe lower the budget if you don't wanna buy 1440p monitors yet

[flint surge]

talking to who

me?

[elfin mural]

no

[flint surge]

i was happy for a moment

[elfin mural]

but uh, mx230 is honestly meh

it's decent for older games

[flint surge]

😭

[elfin mural]

and you might need more ram

[flint surge]

cant run mc java

only getting 40fps

[flint surge]

12gb not enough?

what about my 10th gen i7

that has a igpu better than my dgpu

it gets 120fps in mc

and turbo boosting too

ok

im throwing that thing to the trash

i cant survive that

lag

even tho i made memories

it doesn't deserve to be on my desk

💻 ➡️ 🗑️

[hollow barn]

Foxy, that is the compressor:

[elfin mural]

hm

probably fine dust mixing in

but the liquid color is rust

[sinful blade]

Sam’s club time

[gleaming rivet]

I, too, like shopping at Costco

[sinful blade]

Sam’s club and Costco are the same type of weird store

[velvet summit]

I'm gonna diy an air compressor soon ish

I don't really trust the one I have any more

[hollow barn]

Should i trust the compressor now?

[velvet summit]

Plus it sucks

[elfin mural]

Perhaps not

[gleaming rivet]

What liquid color?

[velvet summit]

Make sure to drain the fluid in the compressor periodically

[elfin mural]

orange-brown

like tea

[hollow barn]

That is what i had left that i didn't clean up

[gleaming rivet]

Did that come out of the compressor hose?

[wise geyser]

Except Costco actually has customer service

[hollow barn]

No the drain

[velvet summit]

It might be fine, and not completely compromised

[hollow barn]

brb

[last mango]

Sama club goated

[hollow barn]

The compressor was under 100€

[last mango]

Found 6lb frozen meatballs for just $18 USD

[gleaming rivet]

Have you been leaving air in the compressor after you're done using it?

[velvet summit]

If you don't feel safe, it's like $50 for a hydro rest/ultrasound for testing to see the thickness of the bottom of the compressor

[sinful blade]

Shhhhhh

[velvet summit]

Also see if there's an expiration date on the tank

[sinful blade]

Just be mad you guys don’t have a wegmans

Literally peak store

[gleaming rivet]

Meh. I'm still using a compressor from 1981.

[wise geyser]

Been there many times

Just a better walmart

[velvet summit]

Well, it's fine if it's properly maintained (water drained out regularly so it doesn't pool and corrode)

[sinful blade]

It’s rated one of the best businesses in the entire US

[wise geyser]

So is Aldi

Lol

[velvet summit]

From a safety perspective, I don't want to be liable for recommending something potentially dangerous

[sinful blade]

Not #6

[velvet summit]

Cisco

[elfin mural]

nvidia at third

[sinful blade]

It’s kept it’s high rating for years

Literally cannot be beat

[velvet summit]

I mean

There's a difference between best business to work for vs best business to buy from

[sinful blade]

They’re still top 5 to buy from

[elfin mural]

i hate discord mobile so much lately

[elfin mural]

it tends to get slow and crash

[sinful blade]

Americas favourite grocery store in 2016

[elfin mural]

whatever the discord devs did

pls fix it

[velvet summit]

Are they a usa only chain

[elfin mural]

my phone ain't even anything low end

[velvet summit]

I don't think I've ever seen one here

[sinful blade]

Yes, for now

[velvet summit]

Ah

No wonder

[elfin mural]

wth

a team from ow2 uses the sounds of foxes in a shelter that rescues foxes for kiroko's fox

that's just nice

[elfin mural]

isn't that ghost of tsushima

[wise geyser]

Yes

[ancient swift]

Ghost of Tsushima on OLED is so pretty

[wise geyser]

Follow the fox

And they gib you love

[wise geyser]

Wish i could experience it only for ghost tho

Don't really wanna buy OLED yet otherwise

[ancient swift]

Oh I'm playing it on the Steam Deck OLED

[wise geyser]

It runs on steamdeck fine?

[ancient swift]

45FPS at medium/low with FSR3

[wise geyser]

They didn't update that info last i checked for compatibility

But cool

[ancient swift]

They won't cause it doesn't have the Playstation integration, can't play online

[dusk knot]

Aaaay

[ancient swift]

I wonder how it compares to MiniLED HDR.

[dusk knot]

Not as good

[ancient swift]

Yeah but the brightness of MiniLED is great

[wise geyser]

I wanna play Sekiro again

[dusk knot]

It's inferior for reasons

[wise geyser]

But Ghost first

[ancient swift]

Do it

I keep intending to start Sekiro and Elden Ring but never get around to it

[wise geyser]

I don't like how people compare the 2 because they're completely different play style.

Like ghost is supposed to be die hard samurai bushido, while sekiro is just re-skinned dark souls 😆

[proud jackal]

[hollow barn]

No, it was more like a Normal cloud.

[hollow barn]

uh, once i left air in there

[hollow barn]

Well, idk, but i haven't seen one as far i'm aware

[empty night]

Nya

[hollow barn]

:3

[velvet summit]

Leaving air in the tank is fine, leaving water in the tank isnt

[cedar compass]

why graphics acceleration sux on chrome

[velvet summit]

You want to drain the tank after every use (according to manufacturer's recommendations)

[elfin mural]

it glitches out sometimes for me

chrome hw accel really is bleh

[velvet summit]

But leaving compressed air in the tank is fine

[hollow barn]

Yeah, and i think i gotta change the oil?

[velvet summit]

But the thing about leaving compressed air in the tank, you're probably also leaving water in the tank

Also you have no oil

[cedar compass]

mouse cursor isn't visible when typing etc . some texts in pages are also not visible ometimes. it's just trash lol

[velvet summit]

Not just change, you need to add oil

[cedar compass]

and it enabling that acceleration after update

[hollow barn]

I got some oil actually

[velvet summit]

Oil level (when compressor is level on the ground) should be within the red circle

Or maybe just below it

[hollow barn]

i got it in a Grocery store.

[velvet summit]

Check the manual if you can find it

Is it the proper oil

[hollow barn]

I actually checked it and it said in the circle

[hollow barn]

get's the manual

hol up, i'm getting messages

[hollow barn]

Bruh, and i was thinking: Why is that stuff mildly oily

I found it, it asks for 15W40 oil

And i got a tiny bottle that says that

[hollow barn]

But should i change the oil when it has that colour?

[velvet summit]

I don't see any oil at all

Wait

Oh

[hollow barn]

Wait what!?

[velvet summit]

I see it

The colour was greenish lmao

[hollow barn]

It is Gray ish

[velvet summit]

Yeah you should change it

[hollow barn]

That is what i was thinking too

[light egret]

should definitely be changed

[hollow barn]

So now i got a good reason to take it apart

jk, i know how to do it

[velvet summit]

Your manual should also say how often you have to change the oil

[hollow barn]

i done it at least once

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[hollow barn]

there was already oil when i bought it and i drained that already and filled it with the other oil

and surprisingly the other oil is somewhat more thicc

[light egret]

When did you buy it?

[hollow barn]

i don't know if i still got the receipt... but i think somewhere summer last year

but i didn't really use the compressor over winter

[light egret]

Did you store it full of compressed air?

[hollow barn]

Usually it was not full with air

[velvet summit]

More importantly

Did you drain the water regularly

After each use

[hollow barn]

no

That was stupid of me

[velvet summit]

Moisture is the enemy
Not the air pressure

[hollow barn]

Yeah, i didn't fully comply to the Manual, but at least i got the oil that was recommended.

well, i could again get one of them compressors if i have the money for it, and handle it better.

And once i cleaned a Lawn Mower with compressed air and Shovel and there it ran for a very continous time.

And there i noticed already that something else was also comming with the air

[velvet summit]

Either oil or moisture

[hollow barn]

I think Moisture

But somewhat mixed with oil

Since even in the manual it states that there is some oil in the water.

[sour falcon]

Yippieeeee

[hollow barn]

https://tenor.com/sqMU1WMDcgD.gif

[light egret]

I mean I would make sure it's drained and let it dry out and still use it after servicing the oil and such, but it depends on how much moister was in there and how long. But I play with fire so idk if that's recommended. I don't like to throw things away though.

I would also stand far away from it while its filling and using it tho if it seemed sketchy

[hollow barn]

Yeah

i'm gonna perform what no sane person would.

[light egret]

I'm also not well versed in compressors themselves though, we just got our first one lol. I know a little and I know storing them with air buildup is bad.

[velvet summit]

Considering that you bought it used, idk if the tank walls are compromised before

[hollow barn]

It was not used, It was new in OBI

[velvet summit]

Oh

[hollow barn]

I bought it new

[velvet summit]

So you're fine probably

[hollow barn]

I guess so

[velvet summit]

One year of water buildup isn't too harmful

[rancid juniper]

cool free parkour game

i recommend

but i'm gonna be right back, because i'm gonna do something no sane person is gonna do.

[velvet summit]

Just avoid leaving standing water in the tank

[light egret]

What are you gonna do

[hollow barn]

Changing the oil

[light egret]

only sane people would do that.

[hollow barn]

oh

[light egret]

It's an engine. Its like a car. When oil bad, change it.

[hollow barn]

WEll, it doesn't have the "power" stroke

[velvet summit]

Your manual should say how often you need to change the oil like I said

[light egret]

I mean you should still change it.

[hollow barn]

every 1000 Hours after the initial change ig

[light egret]

I know a lot of people who don't change the oil on things like lawnmowers and generators and stuff. I also know a lot of people with broken lawn mowers and generators and stuff.

[hollow barn]

no every 100H

[velvet summit]

Seems more normal

[light egret]

There should also be a time limit though. Like every 100H or once every so many months/years

[velvet summit]

I don't think I've seen anything that can last over a year

It's probably every few months

Though for home use, you probably can get away with once a year or so

Plus, most air compressors don't have an oil pump or filter

[light egret]

Iunno i rarely adhere to the time limit. Our OG mower oil hasn't been changed in quite a while and it still runs like new. Doesn't look like new, but runs like it. I'll probably try to change it when it gets out here. Then I might try to take it apart and use it for a gokart motor.

[hollow barn]

Yeah, I had a typo

[velvet summit]

Main issue is just moisture getting into the oil over time

[hollow barn]

Well, That isn't an issue if the oil get's smoking hot

[velvet summit]

It shouldn't be getting smoking hot though

[hollow barn]

i mean lawnmower

not compressor

[velvet summit]

Ah

[hollow barn]

If that would be the case i had bigger issues

brb

[velvet summit]

For that case though, there are impurities

And metal shavings and such to worry about

[hollow barn]

[velvet summit]

Though yeah those are less time based, but yeah I wouldn't want to use engine oil sitting in a lawnmower unused for a few years

At that point it probably has too much moisture

[light egret]

I need a riding mower. We are trying to mow over an acre with a push mower. Theres another 4 acres we haven't touched cause it to much 😩

[velvet summit]

Lmao

Those are quite expensive

I have an old one for my house

Well, kinda old

[light egret]

yep. Me and my wife, my parents, and some family friends went in together on some land and I'm trying to convince my dad to finance a zero turn so we can use the other 4 acres.

I'm to broke 😢

What kind do you got?

I keep seeing posts on FB of people putting out some old broken riding mowers on the side of the road for free but they always get picked up before I can even get out of the house lol

[velvet summit]

Well, definitely not 0 turn lmao

I forget the model since the labels have long disappeared

It's dark green though

[light egret]

Man my neighbor has one. Im over here with a push mower and hes just zooming by me back and fourth. Also it looks fun as hell

[velvet summit]

Definitely more fun than walking and pushing a lawn mower for hours that's for sure

Lol

Haven't used a zero turn type of lawn mower but those really just whizz by

[light egret]

I mean kicking a bucket is more fun than that lol

yeah thats what im talking about, my neighbor has a zero turn. Theyre like double the price of a regular riding mower though.

[velvet summit]

Uses more storage space as well

[woven salmon]

what do oyu think is the best gpu under $540?

[velvet summit]

One half of my garage is dedicated to the lawn mower and snow blowers lol

[light egret]

I'm in texas we don't get snow 🥲

[velvet summit]

The other half is where all the other stuff that needs to be organized and thrown out is (my garage is barely walkable)

[velvet summit]

Well

What about that one time like

Just this year

[light egret]

When we get snow, it's not really snow most times. It's more like sleet. If you try to make a snowball and throw it at someone, you're just chucking a giant iceball at them and gonna hurt them.

[velvet summit]

Lmao

Cheap weaponry

[light egret]

We did get actual fluffy snow once and it was fun. But when I was younger, we got "snow" one year and so i made a snowball and threw it at my brothers friend. He had a massive black and pruple welt on his back for awhile.

[velvet summit]

💀

[light egret]

But that was in houston and i'm a bit further south now so I dont think we will get that anymore lol

[velvet summit]

How big is your yard again

Are there many sharp turns you need to make that a lawn tractor wouldn't handle

Actually

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[velvet summit]

Are you able to rent the mower from your neighbor

That would be the easiest solution

Neighbor gets a bit more cash

You don't have to spend like 4 grand on a mower

And don't need to find storage for it either

[light egret]

Just over 5 acres

I don't know my neighbor well enough for anything like that yet. Although we did pay his dad (guy we bought the property from) to mow the back area once already to knock it down cause it got to overgrown.

Aside from a couple of trees the property is farely flat

and square

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[icy ore]

I need to mow but it won’t stop raining

[light egret]

Put on a raincoat

im jk

[icy ore]

Lmao

[light egret]

we delayed mowing because of the rain and just one extra week caused the grass to get so high that the push mower kept stalling 😩

granted we were mowing on the lowest setting

[velvet summit]

Yeah you need to cut in multiple passes

more work

[light egret]

nahhhhhhhh.

The only real issue is over the septic drain field. That area grows like crazy and its super thick

It just so happens that the drain field is on my section of the mow area

[elfin mural]

I guess grass loves septic waste

It's kinda like fertilizer to em

[light egret]

It does. If you want an amazing garden, plant it over a septic drain field. I don't recomend it, in fact I believe you're not supposed to, but it'd grow like crazy.

[hollow barn]

Alright

I failed the draining part so hard that most of the oil was on the floor

but the filling went well

[light egret]

cover it with kitty litter

[velvet summit]

But yeah after considering the size of the property, a zero turn lawnmowers speed and such should be worth it, but I'd still recommend asking your neighbor to see if they're willing to rent their mower once like every week so you can mow the lawn, so you share the maintenance costs and such

[hollow barn]

already wiped it up with toilet paper

[light egret]

if its concrete, covering it with kitty litter will help prevent it from staining

[hollow barn]

It has an epoxy thing ig

[light egret]

oh then you're probably fine

[hollow barn]

it is not directly concrete

i must panic

they suck in the oil like there is no tomorrow

[light egret]

I gotta invite them over for a cookout first to butter them up. I gotta repair the grill tho. It's very rusted out and holey. Which means I now need a welder lol

[light egret]

the floor did?

[hollow barn]

Just kidding

[velvet summit]

Is it a grill worth fixing though lol

[light egret]

I mean a new one of that type is like $600. It's a pretty good size smoker/grill.

Its my dad's and he never did anything to maintain it except put a tarp over it.

but we want a welder for other things and so I can just grind the rust off, use a high heat rust paint, and weld on a plate at the bottom. Should be fine.

like I said before, I don't like to throw things out lol. If i can fix it ima try to fix it first.

Granted I'll throw it out if it sits untouched for a few years or I never get to it or we end up buying something to replace it. I won't hord things.

But they actively still use that grill even in the condition it's in, you just cant smoke anything in it rn. and I wanna smoke things.

[velvet summit]

how thick's the metal?

[light egret]

oof idk. Maybe 1/4 inch? I haven't really checked.

[velvet summit]

the grills i use at my house are usually the clearance sale very thin sheet metal type that rusts through like every 5 years 💀

1/4" is fairly thick then

that would def be worth fixing then lmao

[light egret]

Idk how much he spent on this one but he speant a good amount of money on it.

He's had it for probably about 15 years at least

It doesn't have anything fancy on it though.

[velvet summit]

i assume it's cast iron if it's that thick

[light egret]

it may not be that thick but I know its not crazy thin lol

[velvet summit]

i have a very well built grill that is also pretty old (uses propane and volcanic rock to maintain the heat or smth like that) but unfortunately is a bit too small so it sits unused

[light egret]

its similar to one of these but much older https://www.lowes.com/pd/Oklahoma-Joe-s-1197-Sq-in-Black-Horizontal-Charcoal-Smoker/5015247439

[velvet summit]

but that does have a thick shell

[light egret]

and maybe a bit bigger

[velvet summit]

ah yeah, those should be worth patching up

[light egret]

yeah and one of the people on the property has experience welding and claims he's pretty good at it, we want a welder for a few things, so eventually we might as well give it a shot lol

I refuse to to believe

How many GHz?

[empty night]

I don’t know :(

[hollow barn]

How many MHz is the CPU?

[empty night]

I’m building a pc soon

[empty night]

Don’t know anything about it except it has a ryzen 3

[hollow barn]

So basically 800MHz

[empty night]

Don’t know

[hollow barn]

AMD uses such low clocks because they do so much in parallel that the CPU would just melt if it goes beyond 2GHz

[elfin mural]

that's

are you just joking

[hollow barn]

YES

you're right

AMD couldn't do it that efficiently

[elfin mural]

Anyway cheaper laptops typically come with a single stick installed

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[main marsh]

when buying a cpu cooler does it come with thermal paste or do i have to get it separately?

[elfin mural]

Yeah, they come with paste

[hollow barn]

i can't answer that legally

didn't you see those ryzen 7 7800x3d melting and exploding at 5ghz?

smh

[hollow barn]

okay that is True

They literally melted because of a Overvoltage event if i know right

But that apparently isn't a problem no more

Kind of bad that the problem disappeared

Americans

[hollow barn]

Oh, the uneducated fellows?

no offense

But seriously,

Why not Celcius everything?

Oh yeah, America exists.

[empty night]

I don’t know I didn’t choose

[hollow barn]

You can choose but you do you

[empty night]

Not really

[hollow barn]

Well, you can use any measurement unit as you want for yourself

Well when everyone else around you uses one thing and your family uses one thing it’s hard

It’s like speaking French but everyone else speaks English

[mortal grail]

[hollow barn]

AMD is not that advanced despite it saying Advanced Microprocessor Devices

Suuure, they made 86-64, but Intel made x86

[mortal grail]

What about advancing

[hollow barn]

AMD and Advanding, the only thing i see advance is the Melting power

Since they want Laptop CPUs that is worrying.

[mortal grail]

What is melting

Intel and nvidia are melting

[hollow barn]

In what? Profit?

[mortal grail]

Intel cpus dying at stock and nvidia cards melting from 12vhpwr to this very day

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

Melting like 1 hour old ice cream

[hollow barn]

They should have chosen the right Power Cable plug not the flawed plug ones

Lovely:

[icy ore]

beautiful

[hollow barn]

You should have heard the scratching

[ancient swift]

Honestly, just looking at how well it runs on the Steam Deck. Ghost of Tsushima might be the best PC port we've had in a while

[hollow barn]

And Smurfs 2?

[mild dew]

Idk about that have you seen Avatars?

Imo ghost could run better for what it looks like

[hollow barn]

What game should i play on my Laptop?

if i say "i don't have it" try another one

[ancient swift]

How does that run on the Steam Deck?

[mild dew]

It does not run but it has better performance to visuals

[ancient swift]

and I'm more of referring to games that come out on PC late.

Like compare it to Spiderman, Horizon, Rachet and Clank, and so on.

[mild dew]

Ghost performance not any better compared to horizon forbidden west and looks much worse soo you tell me if this is that good of a port

[hollow barn]

LEDs get their colour from the plastic 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ ||nope||

[ancient swift]

Again, I'm referring to on the Steam Deck

Forbidden west and Zero Dawn aren't great on the Deck.

[hollow barn]

What about Portal 2?

[mild dew]

Pc ports and steam deck on same sentence 🙄imo that thing is halfway there to being a console

[hollow barn]

I consider the Steam Deck as A Handheld Device

[ancient swift]

Forbidden west is like 30FPS on 720p low with FSR enabled lol.

FSR 3 might help Forbidden west though. They only have FSR 2.2

[wise geyser]

@rancid juniper a580 works

[dusk knot]

not half bad

[hollow barn]

not my device

[wise geyser]

Turns out it just doesn't like running on the z690 dark

[dusk knot]

ik. its from a YT vid

[hollow barn]

Just tell it to cope with it

[wise geyser]

Every other GPU works on it lol

That i have

[hollow barn]

like i cope with my laptop

because power is expensive.

i can't just turn on my pc

[hollow barn]

watercooling/AIO?

[wise geyser]

Yea

[hollow barn]

Nice, i have a PC that has a AIO too

But since it takes too much power i might need to sell it...

due to that

Not because i wanted.

Just because it takes too much power

[wise geyser]

Undervolt and underclock

Power limit

[hollow barn]

it uses 500W from the wall

And i don't want to run it at 800MHz again

ANd that is already close to the normal speed it has

[rancid juniper]

great!

[hollow barn]

So i just asked my dad if i could have a 8GB Stick for my Laptop

Just some DDR4

any

Like i just wanted any RAM Stick that is 8GB 2666MHz and DDR4

[hollow barn]

Like How?

it's already under 200W

Or like under 300W

[mortal grail]

Define too much

[hollow barn]

From wall or 12V?

[velvet summit]

wattage is the same no matter the voltage

[mortal grail]

Wall, system draw

[hollow barn]

The CPU took on 12V like 270W on the CPU

[mortal grail]

270w doing what

What do you do for normal use

[hollow barn]

I think It was runnung SheepIt

[hollow barn]

Recently More usage on MeshroomCL

until i had to use the Laptop for Power saving because with a second Screen (1th one from laptop 2th one the screen i usually used) it uses like 100W from the wall

[wise geyser]

Getting 50-60fps average on native 1440p @ high settings

[rancid juniper]

crazy that the a580 is in the middle of first gen intel dgpu

a750 and up can be faster

the power draw too is so good

legit cant wait for battlemage

[wise geyser]

We shall see what they have to offer

[wise geyser]

So crazy that SPARKLE doesn't even have support for their sku of a580 on their website

hopefully its the real date

cant wait to play this

[mortal grail]

I'm still confused, the cpu was using 270w or was this wall power

[hollow barn]

That was the CPU power

But with SheepIt

[mortal grail]

That has to be some i7 or i9

[dusk knot]

Time to upgrade

[mortal grail]

Run a power limit

[hollow barn]

Intel Core i9 10900K

[mortal grail]

Knew it

[hollow barn]

That instantly means 0.8GHz

[mortal grail]

No

I had a 10900k

[hollow barn]

I tried

[mortal grail]

That's not what it means

[hollow barn]

It goes to that then

[mortal grail]

Are you trying what 50w power limit?

0.8ghz is stupid low

You can run it under 200W and still get full game clocks

[hollow barn]

You said Power limit

Since there was no number i assumed Max limit

which is 800MHz

[mortal grail]

Yes and a power limit ≠ immediate and always 0.8ghz

[hollow barn]

I mean going as agressive as possible

But still, i already unbuilt it from my desk

so yeah

[mortal grail]

Let me tell you, the difference between 100W and 200W cpu power

At 6 hours a day

For 3 months

A few dollars

[wise geyser]

Where's your 4090? oh wait....

[hollow barn]

How much per KWh?

Because in Germany the Price is insane

[wise geyser]

RIP

[hollow barn]

i guess around 0.30€ per KWh

[mortal grail]

I just put it into a calculator

[wise geyser]

I remember when it was like $0.45/KWh for my Austrian friend

[mortal grail]

54

So 54/10 x 3

5.4 10.8 16.2

$16.2 euros

For 6 hours a day

[wise geyser]

so 0.41eur/KWh

[mortal grail]

Over 3 months

90 days

At 200watts

Versus 100watts

[hollow barn]

I just wired my whole room to one plug and around one month had like 475KWh used which was around 150€ if i remember right...

Except the Ceiling Light

[mortal grail]

Yes if you're measuring the entire draw

You said your laptop draws 100W

I'm measuring the difference

Changing to laptop from desktop you gain 27 euros every 3 months mate

Lol

[wise geyser]

gotta remember the bundestag taxes the hell out of income, they ain't got income left to pay a few euro more every month

[mortal grail]

Which is fine but going out to buy a laptop over all that

You offset loss in at least a couple hundred

It takes years to earn that capital back

Versus just

power limit

[wise geyser]

yippee

[mortal grail]

Very used to this kind of math cos I have to manage a solar system

Lol

Picking the best time to draw down means I'm always playing with rate numbers

[wise geyser]

I don't have that issue

mine's just fixed rate

grandfathered in plan

8c/KWh

[mortal grail]

We do peak and off peak rates as it's slightly cheaper

But we can tailor our usage so it goes even more cheaper

Being power conscious is a bit annoying, but we're way ahead of flat rate rn here

[mortal grail]

God I wish

Actually I think mine might be cheaper

I can't remember

I think it's like 4c per on off peak

[wise geyser]

my dad used to complain about me having a pc running all day long (sleep or actually running), and all it did was add $2-$3 on the bill at the end of the month. didn't complain about it after that cuz he wanted to prove i was spiking the bill lol

little did he know that him turning on the AC every night for 6 hours was the culprit

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/870518234565214269.webp?size=48&quality=lossless&name=smugheh

[worn wave]

AC uses so much electricity

[mortal grail]

AC uses an obscene amount

As does stove and oven

Other things like brief microwaving, kettles, benchtop appliances are minor

[wise geyser]

ah, my microwave broke

[mortal grail]

As is running a capped i9 tbh

[worn wave]

The thing with those is that you only run em for a few minutes

Oven longer I guess

But AC is on all day

[wise geyser]

yea, my dad was trying to prove a point and failed miserably

[worn wave]

We got a heat pump and supposedly it's a lot more energy efficient

[mortal grail]

To put it in perspective you'd need to run an i9 for 4 hours in a day at constant max load to offset 1 hour of microwaving

So if you do brief workloads on a pc, you're not even close on usage

Goes triplicate for ac or oven

[mortal grail]

If you manage the temp frugally yeah

[mortal grail]

Like under floor?

[wise geyser]

i adjust to higher temperatures well, so I can last with just a fan on if it's hot in my room

no need for AC

It's only a problem when the humidity is being abhorrent

which is usually the case here in summer

[mortal grail]

I become humidity when it gets over 34

[wise geyser]

you're wet

[mortal grail]

Stop you'll get banned

Stahp

[wise geyser]

what, sweat is wet

silly man

[mortal grail]

So is spaghetti

[wise geyser]

what if it's dry

and not cooked yet

[mortal grail]

It never is

That's just what the government wants you to believe

[wise geyser]

you are the govt

[mortal grail]

I am the humid government

[wise geyser]

i'm not paying my taxes

leave me alone

[mortal grail]

Ohp here I come

Baton in hand

I fell over

Here I come

I need my taxes

[worn wave]

It's like a unit that sits outside, and connects to the vents for our central air. Don't know much abt it other than we didn't have ac before, just a furnace, now it does both.

[mortal grail]

Huh

Interesting

I might look into that

Anything for a cheaper energy bill tbh, I'm like 30x more frugal with power than I was 15 years ago

And yet the bill keeps rising

[worthy meteor]

[rancid juniper]

ooooooooooh https://youtu.be/McpACA5nNn8?si=yXDtE7XeMYHw64VT

[trail nest]

yo chat, is the ryzen 5 equivalent to an intel core i5???

[wise geyser]

Pretty good technical video for this game

[rancid juniper]

yea, his explanations are decent

[rancid juniper]

probably

[worthy meteor]

Branding wise, kind of, performance wise, not necessarily

[rancid juniper]

wait

did amd make a ryzen 3 yet?

or they dropping it

[trail nest]

so which is better? ryzen 5 or intel core i5???

[worthy meteor]

Depends on the specific chip, not the marketing name

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[trail nest]

i'm gonna get a laptop with ryzen 5 cpu

but idk why they selling intel core i3 laptop at same price as ryzen 5 laptops

[wise geyser]

The a580 was able to handle 1440p mostly high with some very high settings enabled. Not too awful framedrops in more populated or detailed scenes

[trail nest]

since core i3 is lower than ryzen 5

[worthy meteor]

But you need to know which specific cpu you're comparing

[wise geyser]

I'm very content with this GPU now... Since it actually works with my ITX system 🥲

[rancid juniper]

i had like one setting dropped and that was shadow quality: Ultra > Very High

there was no difference and ultra tanked fps

[trail nest]

@worthy meteor which budget laptop around $320 do you recommend i buy?

with a good cpu

and 8 gigs of ram
