[fervent stump]

That’s cool!

[rancid juniper]

hmm guess my board doesn't support pcie bifurcation

[opaque sedge]

How much power does a typical sata consume?

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

ooooooooooooooooh

[sweet phoenix]

If there's an nvme slot available this is only $10 more

[rancid juniper]

figures..

however i found an open box teamgroup ssd for 149

on ebay

🤔

[sweet phoenix]

Ehh

If you've an nvme slot I'd rather the $40 extra personally

[wind quail]

kinda crap pricing

should get a gen 3 drive for that

[rancid juniper]

all my nvme slots are filled XD

[sweet phoenix]

Ahh

[rancid juniper]

i mean i do have some pcie slots left over

so...

[sweet phoenix]

I mean, any reason to swap one out?

Could swap one out and make it an external

And replace it with the s70

[rancid juniper]

im not buying anything now but after using my hdd for a bit im already thinking about another ssd to get someday

i have like two nvmes nearly full

HDD has no games (just like ps5)

[wind quail]

at that stage just get a sata yeah

[rancid juniper]

yea honestly i dont mind the sata drive

[nocturne flicker]

Shuffle the lower end games onto the HDD

[rancid juniper]

thats what i did lolz

got alot to move

im definitely moving the games that are around X360 > PS4 era

much older already goes into hdd

I also plan on moving most of the emulated games to the HDD aswell

so i can use the 1TB nvme

[wind quail]

yeah that deal aint bad then, forgot ssd prices went up a bit too

[nocturne flicker]

I've put my docs, video and music folders on my HDD too, saves more space because I have a couple things archived in Docs

[rancid juniper]

a bit is an understatement, they went wild

😂

[rancid juniper]

oh yea i gotta do that too lolz

4TB is plenty

[nocturne flicker]

I thought it would be too

Then you download a large chunk of your Steam Library and suddenly it is all gone

[rancid juniper]

REAL

my steam library takes like 1.86TB off my nvme

wild

[nocturne flicker]

Doesn't help that I didn't adjust settings when making the partition the second time around so now I have my 4tb split into two different partitions

[rancid juniper]

this is what it looks like now

lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

I am OCD about not seeing red, so whenever it starts getting close I compulsively feel the need to redistribute files and uninstall fluff to reclaim space

[spark halo]

Weggbert the pc wesker.

[rancid juniper]

if it hits red i think there is a slight performance penalty

[rancid juniper]

happy bday

[spark halo]

Its not my birthday meow

My birthday was yesterday

But its okay

Its appreciated

[fervent stump]

Who did you ask for the role

[spark halo]

I asked in general yesterday lol

All good

[fervent stump]

Ohhhh

[rancid juniper]

you're gonna stay pink forever

[spark halo]

Ah yes birthday is everyday

What could go wrong

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-infinity-war-everything-avengers-gif-14066494

[fervent stump]

You like  or Samsung

[spark halo]

Personally apple when its between those two

Samsung has lack of security I dislike

Wbu

[fervent stump]

 what are your thoughts on iOS 18?

It autocorrects the name to the icon

[spark halo]

I have no thoughts on it, don’t run it

[fervent stump]

Oh but do you like what they’ve done with it so far?

[spark halo]

I mean everything seems nice

[fervent stump]

Yea I love how I can drag apps where I want

[mild elk]

would someone be able to help me pick between 2 laptops for school?

[sinful blade]

Probably

[mild elk]

and which chat would would i discuss this in because i don’t see anything that pertains to laptops lol

[sinful blade]

Anywhere is fine

[mild elk]

all right

I’ll be a finance major in the fall and I was wondering which of these lenovo’s are better and what functions stand out more than the other. I understand that both of these options are overkill for my major but i’m pretty loyal to the brand and I was wondering which one stands out spec wise.

Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Intel (14") with 32gm ram and 1tb ssd

vs

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (14″ Snapdragon) 32gb ram and 1tb ssd

Price is not really a problem for me because they are both cheaper than a MAC pro. What i’m looking for is which is better based of benchmarks such as battery life, overheating, etc. Thanks in advance

[sinful blade]

I get your name
It’s MS paint, but you’re a girl so it’s miss paint

[mild elk]

lol yeah 😝😝😝

[spark halo]

I mean i would simply look for a cooling pad

And a labtop

Incorporate the cost of the cooling pad into the price

Being realistic here

If your also considered about battery life

Get a secondary battery

Considering most battery for labtops are easy to change

[sinful blade]

That^

[dusk knot]

Very easy

I wish phones and tablets were the same

[fervent stump]

I should put a 4090 on my iPhone

[sinful blade]

Imagine how fast you could play candy crush then

[spark halo]

Imagine how fast a bot could crush candy for you*

[fervent stump]

This is also an option

[nocturne flicker]

External batteries on laptops my beloved. Stinky thin ones have them internally

The thin laptop batteries can't double as a throwing brick either, 0/10 not good value

[craggy shoal]

I love that OpenRGB crashes on both of my Asus motherboards

[misty sparrow]

honestly, how

how much stuff do you have on that drive good lord, i can barely fill up mine

[craggy shoal]

I hate politics (906.2 GB)

[misty sparrow]

what?

oh wait

damn i forgot i named my drive that

lmao

[craggy shoal]

I read it as "I hate politics and I have 906.2 GB worth to tell you how and why"

[nocturne flicker]

The Steam Library must be downloaded

[misty sparrow]

lmao its just a whole terabyte of why i hate politics

i should've done that instead

[nocturne flicker]

Otherwise it sits there, tauntingly greyed out in the library

[misty sparrow]

hmm

it would be a good use for the 4TB drive

its going to waste just sitting there unmounted

[craggy shoal]

What Linux distro is this?

[misty sparrow]

PopOS

[craggy shoal]

Ah of course

The gaming Linux distro

[misty sparrow]

didn't want to get Mint, apparently something it ships with is outdated

[craggy shoal]

I might put Mint or something else I have on a Lenovo ThinkPad that I have. Just remembered that I have it lol

[misty sparrow]

it does look like a good OS

pretty good for people coming straight from Windows too, but i don't know what part of it people are calling "outdated"

[craggy shoal]

I’ve been using Bazzite OS on an HTPC I put together recently. I’ve been loving it but I think I bugged something out and now I can't go back to desktop mode

[misty sparrow]

never heard of bazzite

oh, its a gaming themed OS based off Fedora

[craggy shoal]

Yep

I wanted a console but I didn’t like console limitations so I did some research and put that on this HTPC. I’ve been loving it

[misty sparrow]

for a home theater pc it does look like a good OS

especially with the decky loader thingy

[craggy shoal]

I need to reinstall it though because I think I broke something. It doesn't go into desktop mode (it just kinda hangs and no display shows)

this 850w Revolution DF is good for 30A on on two of the PCIe rails respectively... it says 1080ti Gaming X Trio pulls 375w "including 75w from the PCIe x16 slot." That's like 300w off the PCIe rail then... 12v x 30A is 360w... I dunno if I can SLI two 1080tis on this PSU ngl

[misty sparrow]

you broke the damn chain

[rancid juniper]

SSD to HDD be hurting

😭

[cedar compass]

isn't 650$ too high for 9950x ?

[rancid juniper]

go for 7800x3d and forget

[icy ore]

^

[cedar compass]

it's barely better than 7950x which is under 500$ sometimes

[light egret]

why are you transfering from ssd to hdd?

[idle nexus]

heck will two 1080tis even fit here

[rancid juniper]

saving up ssd space

besides hdd had no use

[light egret]

Fair.

[rancid juniper]

so gotta use it

[light egret]

I use one of my HDDs for emulation lol. Doesn't really make a difference in my experience

[rancid juniper]

yep

the only draw back is basically moving files

other than that load times aint a problem

[light egret]

yeah you're tellin me

my emulation drive is 607gb lol

607 full

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO

[light egret]

[rancid juniper]

im so doomed

[storm narwhal]

Bro

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

what the heck

[storm narwhal]

26MB???

[idle nexus]

2002 ADSL download speed

[light egret]

I feel like it should still be faster than that

[rancid juniper]

nah it actually went up to like 250MB/s

its all over the place

[storm narwhal]

2400rpm hard drive fr

Ooh Callisto is gonna be free

Maybe I'll finally log into epic now

[rancid juniper]

i got that game for free with my gpu

guess ill also claim it on epic

sigh

[storm narwhal]

Now I'm about to get it free free lmaoo

[rancid juniper]

💀

[light egret]

I still refuse to use epic

[storm narwhal]

I still haven't and will not continue to buy anything on epic

I will however take the benefit of accessing these games at no cost to me

[idle nexus]

Dammit

[rancid juniper]

honestly my care dropped to 0%, most services will look at your data no matter what

[storm narwhal]

Naauur

[idle nexus]

now I get to move AIO to top & fans to side cuz woooo

[rancid juniper]

but i cannot lie, too many launchers

[light egret]

tiem to get a whole new case

[idle nexus]

lol I have too many already

[storm narwhal]

Yeah at this point it's just the free games that keeps me on epic

[rancid juniper]

true

[nocturne flicker]

I wouldn't have half the launchers I do if I didn't have free games

[light egret]

that's not even my issue. I hate having so many launchers and mostly, I already bought to many games on steam and don't wanna have to go to a new platform lmao

[idle nexus]

time to abandon PCs

gonna get into stamp collecting

[rancid juniper]

some of the games you have on steam probably needs one of their own launchers

annoying af

[idle nexus]

what's good stamp collecting discord?

[rancid juniper]

cough cough EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar

[light egret]

iirc there were some ubisoft games that you bought on steam but then needed to have their platform installed in order to launch it from STEAM

[rancid juniper]

i be launching launchers from a launcher

._.

[nocturne flicker]

Tropico

Fun. Calypso launcher or whatever

[rancid juniper]

lol

[idle nexus]

one fan off... only two more then move AIO

[light egret]

if only you had the vertical mount in that case.

I should redo my vertical mount

but this 3060 is so small it's kinda useless to show off

[idle nexus]

I can move the back thing & do vertical

[nocturne flicker]

So I guess you could say that the one fan was the Only Fan

[idle nexus]

but I don't have two risers

wait... do I?

[light egret]

you probably do

why do you need 2?

[idle nexus]

dual vertical 1080ti party time

[light egret]

wait you're gonna SLI some 1080s?

Is it even worth it? I thought games don't take advantage of dual gpus anymore.

[idle nexus]

for the heck of it

same case

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

[fervent stump]

How much does a 1080Ti sell for

[nocturne flicker]

Oh, it finally loaded

Well

[idle nexus]

I wish I had two waterblocked 1080tis that worked

unfortunately one of mine met with an unfortunate accident

I think I dunno

COD was never determined

[light egret]

did you try putting it in rice

[idle nexus]

so I'm stuck with stinky Gaming X Trio giant stinky stonk cooler 1080tis

I have 4 1080tis & basically all of them suck

lol I did not

[storm narwhal]

It was hard locked silver

[fervent stump]

I found a scam 4090 for $100 https://www.hualuoqu.shop/products/asus-geforce-rtx-4090-rog-strix-rtx4090-o24g-white-p-n82e16814126616

[idle nexus]

I was gonna try toaster over reflow solder but eh

[storm narwhal]

Maybe when you're really bored

Then do that

[idle nexus]

the problem is it ruins the toaster oven

[light egret]

looks like they're selling on ebay for around $150ish

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[nocturne flicker]

Ah yes, Newegg at Hualuoqu. What is Hualuoqu

[idle nexus]

I'm doomed to never be able to run SLI 1080ti with waterblocks on both cards

it's sad

[light egret]

do it with 2 4090s instead

[idle nexus]

I took this picture only minutes before one of those broke lol

[light egret]

that is a hell of a setup

is that test bench only?

[idle nexus]

lol ya

it changes

[nocturne flicker]

Does Wegg know about this?

[storm narwhal]

Amazon toaster

[light egret]

ok what is the purpose of the 2 fans in the front

[storm narwhal]

5 bucks

[idle nexus]

rn it's 10900K/1070/Z590 Unify-X

[storm narwhal]

Then return the toaster for being faulty

[idle nexus]

there's a newegg exclusive Thermaltake case lol

[misty sparrow]

you got it easy, i be launching a launcher from a launcher from another launcher

[rancid juniper]

legit launching ☠️

[misty sparrow]

cant just start the damn game in 2024

https://tenor.com/view/fall-damage-guy-jumping-off-cliff-meme-fall-jump-gif-10998107752099134325

[idle nexus]

Cyberpunk with mods would do that

you open Vortex, launch game, which opens Steam, which opens REDwhatever launcher, then finally the game starts

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm. Launch Vortex, launch a modern Fallout game which launches Steam which launches the game launcher which allows you to launch the game

[misty sparrow]

don't forget to adjust the video settings in the game launcher or else you have to repeat the entire process

[nocturne flicker]

Don't forget that depending on the game some of the settings in the game launcher game settings tab don't work so you have to go into an ini and manually do it

My coworkers are all lazy. I swear they spent 3 hours taking breaks today.

you want less breaks you gotta pay more. 20$ an hour for each less minute from break.

[chrome mirage]

Supposed to be one 30 minute break and two 15 minute breaks but they took and hour for each break.

[light egret]

but for real that stuff annoys me especially when my job was over when we completed our tasks for the day, so all they were doing is extending the time I had to be there lol

[misty sparrow]

apathy rhymes better so that's probably what it is

[light egret]

it is indeed apathy

[nocturne flicker]

It also makes sense lyrically, apathy is a lack of care about stuff, empathy is the ability for the opposite

[idle nexus]

I wish we still had a reason to do this

also wish my SLI bridge was a little prettier lol

[rancid juniper]

ggood craves power

[idle nexus]

do side fans intake or exhaust? exhaust looks way better but seems silly

[icy ore]

4090 sli would be wild if worth it lol

[storm narwhal]

Just suck in air from the front and expel it directly afterwards out the side

[idle nexus]

lol ya totally not pointless

[storm narwhal]

Genius airflow

Cut it off before fresh air reaches any components

[idle nexus]

fiiiine they can be ugly & actually useful

[storm narwhal]

Front fans 50% side fans 100%

Nah yeah have em as intake fr

[idle nexus]

lol heckkk

[proud jackal]

All fans 100%

Even that vrm cooler

[light egret]

110% or nothin

oc the fans

Then I realized games weren't optimize for sli

Mhm

[misty sparrow]

and hes getting in hall of fame because he's a clown or?

[opaque sedge]

With gram gram’s inheritance nonetheless

[light egret]

There was actually a weird phenomenon of a group of people who for some reason literally danced until they died. no one knows why it happened but they apparently couldn't stop

[opaque sedge]

Prolly cuz he’s lost almost 300k by now

People are all laughing at him but technically he’s still up 500k from before the inheritance

[dusk knot]

Sounds supernatural to me

The most agreed upon theory is either mass hysteria or poisoning from ergot

[idle nexus]

I wonder what memory was running

[storm narwhal]

2

[light egret]

I could believe mass hysteria, but ergot poisoning is unlikely to actually cause that especially on that scale. It's still weird as hek, and apparently has happened on more than one occasion. And in one instance, they took the worst afflicted away, and the rest just slowly stopped dancing. That's weird too. The ones taken away were apparently taken to some shrine or something where they also ended up stopping instead of dying.

[nocturne flicker]

And don't forget, historical sources can often be subject to...exaggeration

[light egret]

what no

there def was a guy who came down from the heavens and turned into a bull to try to romance a woman

[idle nexus]

what the heck are you talking about

lol

[opaque sedge]

Based on the replied message

zues lol

Seems to be a incident where a bunch of people danced till death

nah i think its something like digimanz

[opaque sedge]

It looks very complicated now lol

Decks be mixing in three summoning types fusion xyz synchro

What was the new one

[light egret]

yugioh got real complicated to the point where they had to retcon a whole bunch of rules they made to make it work again with their new stuff

[opaque sedge]

Link

[light egret]

and synchro

oh you said that

[opaque sedge]

Dont forget pendulum the most confusing

[nocturne flicker]

I just have half a thousand cards from about 20 years ago, that is all I know

[opaque sedge]

U should try dueling a kid with a new deck

Would prolly make u cry

[light egret]

PENDULUM THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

I hated when they introduced pendulum and link monsters

literally broke my deck with that ruleset

[nocturne flicker]

I never played, kid just gave me all his cards

[opaque sedge]

Link is pretty fun ngl

[nocturne flicker]

We had the same babysitter and he didn't like it anymore

[idle nexus]

I tried Magic the Gathering but then I decided I wanted a social life instead

[opaque sedge]

Its mixing in bunch of playstyles into one deck for meta that infuriates me

[light egret]

magic was the same thing. They introduced a whole bunch of new stuff that I just didn't wanna learn

[opaque sedge]

Wbt hearthstone?

Is it complicated too?

[light egret]

never liked hearthstone

it wasn't complicated but I don't wanna play a TCG online

growing up TCG was all about meeting up and playing a card game and trading and oggling over cool holos and stuff

online play takes all that out of it

[velvet summit]

My cousin plays hearthstone professionally

@rancid juniper Micro Center M.I.yayo opens 8/23 I'm pretty sure

[nocturne flicker]

I had a friend who'd play video games with at his house or we'd play random games out in the yard with my sister. Never played a single board game with a friend

[opaque sedge]

And for board games ig the closest was my school had a dnd club

Ofc i never joined

[rancid juniper]

i cannot wait

[velvet summit]

Back in my day pretty much nobody had anything more than a family PC that barely ran browser games

[rancid juniper]

seriously, a microcenter in my state?

and only less than an hour away too?

👌

[light egret]

when I turned 21 I invited friends over all the time to hang out, drink, and play nothing but NES and SNES lol

I miss those days

[velvet summit]

Lmfao

[rancid juniper]

ancient

[opaque sedge]

F I can’t flex this bundle pricing anymore

[rancid juniper]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

😂

[light egret]

this was early 2010's

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Inherited NES

[rancid juniper]

UN-ANCIENT

wait

[light egret]

I sold my NES but I think my SNES was stolen

[rancid juniper]

nah still old

[light egret]

https://tenor.com/view/full-house-how-rood-rude-mad-angry-gif-4061563

[rancid juniper]

hehehhehe

[light egret]

not wrong tho

[nocturne flicker]

My grandmother had a NES for my mother when she was younger. We'd play it whenever we went over to her place. My cousins got it

[opaque sedge]

What are u gonna get first thing? A new store prolly isn’t gonna have much open box or refurb stuff, so storage and ram?

Or a new cpu bundle

[rancid juniper]

ill probably just look around tbh

lmfao

but if there are some discounts i may buy an ssd

[light egret]

get yourself a raspberry pi

[fervent stump]

24gb of ram is a W

[light egret]

that's a weird number

what is the configuration

[fervent stump]

3 8gb

I was just yapping

[rancid juniper]

maybe

[light egret]

you won't be running in dual channel

[opaque sedge]

Who is this mike in these emotes anyways?

Tech reviewer?

[light egret]

thats the guy who used to run this server

[opaque sedge]

Damn so the emotes are a memorabilia

Rip mike

[light egret]

i guess. They were made when he was here.

and when he actually went active people cheered and tried to get his attention and all that jazz

[opaque sedge]

Lol when was this

[light egret]

I think he ended up leaving the company for something else so someone else runs it now

uh

i wanna say he prob left in like 2021? maybe 2022?

[opaque sedge]

Damn its a given ig since his mod job was a real job

[storm narwhal]

It was

A long time ago

He moved to Gigabyte lol

Ah, those were the days

[opaque sedge]

Hey atleast it aint asus

Or intel

(What other computer and electronics companies have messed up lately)

[light egret]

oh wait he's still in the server

just not active here anymore lol

[idle nexus]

2x24gb pretty common now ig

it's kinda become the new 16x2

[light egret]

but shes doing 3x8

[idle nexus]

lol oh heck uh

odd number of DIMMs no fun

have there been triple channel CPUs? I imagine there have but I have no idea

[light egret]

not that ive seen

[storm narwhal]

Sad days

[idle nexus]

btw I realized I did have two PCIe risers but it seemed like more of a mission than it's worth

especially since I've already had to move the darn AIO & 3 fans lol

now all that remains is my love/hate relationship with cable management

rn I'm not really trying to go all nuts on it

this build has been a mission so often. I had to rig up an EK backplate for LF2

how the heck if Fortnite 100gb now

[rancid juniper]

wut

[storm narwhal]

whAT

they added like 5 weapons and one car skin bro

[storm narwhal]

and they took the stupid cybertruck out of the game because it's broken even in game LMAO

[sinful blade]

Ryzen 3600, 5700xt, 16gb of ddr4 3200mhz, 1tb nvme, and 550w PSU. That sound about right to build this guy?

Or should I be adding more juice to the gpu?

[sweet phoenix]

Smthn like this with a used gpu
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TLXyjH

Actually

Video editing

Intel igpu for sure

[sinful blade]

So like a 10400k?

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K6ZwRK

I'd try for lga1700

Should be able to fit a 3060 ti, 6700xt, 2080/super/ti or similar, if you can find a used one within the price range

Could do cheaper, and hopefully you can find a better deal on cpu/mobo

[sinful blade]

He says he needs wifi

[idle nexus]

82gb on drive rn

[craggy shoal]

delete it

[idle nexus]

lol my 7-year-old wants me to play with him

otherwise it'd never be there to begin with

[storm narwhal]

💀

[storm narwhal]

is he playing builds or no builds

(builds apparently has way more bots than no builds)

I can attest to no-builds not having that many bots because it's the only mode i've ever played

[deep parcel]

no build is the only mode I can play

[chrome mirage]

So apparently all the games I acquired through games with gold are locked behind Xbox game pass now

[deep parcel]

build just too crazy with the people who spend 100s of hours training in custom matches doing 90s and stuff

[deep parcel]

wait really?

[deep parcel]

id contact support and see what they say

[sinful blade]

You need core

It’s $10

It replaced gold

[deep parcel]

wait yeah it says games with gold

[storm narwhal]

can easily recreate it using macros lmao

[sinful blade]

Games with gold doesn’t exist anymore

[deep parcel]

thats crazy that games with gold games require a subscription now

[storm narwhal]

that's how i would play fortnite

[sinful blade]

It just changed names

[deep parcel]

yeah but I mean to play the games that were redeemed to your account

[storm narwhal]

yes, i'm cheating but i'm not gonna pour thousands of hours into stupid 1v1 build fight custom fortnite modes

i got other games to play bro

[chrome mirage]

Before you didn't need gold to access games you got through gold

[sinful blade]

Yeah, that was the good times

[chrome mirage]

That was part of the point of buying gold, you would redeem games you could keep. but now you can't even access the games you redeemed

[storm narwhal]

back when paying for a service actually meant something

[deep parcel]

that you paid for back then basically

unless they had a loophole at the time for the contract there could be a lawsuit there

[idle nexus]

lol my son's school sends this paper home saying I have to read & review the Code of Conduct with him then print & sign an acknowledgement that must be turned in before the 5th day of school

it's 93 pages

[storm narwhal]

hell no

[idle nexus]

they want me to read & explain 93 pages of school rules to my 7 year old

[sinful blade]

Second customer in 2 hours
wtf

Both $600 budgets

[storm narwhal]

make your damn code of conduct actually understandable and in 15-20 pages THEN maybe it's okay

[idle nexus]

my guess is there won't be a single parent that actually does this assignment in its entirety except the sign & turn in part

[storm narwhal]

93?? Frick off jesus christ

[idle nexus]

I almost wanna read it out of spite

[storm narwhal]

dies in the proecess

[elfin mural]

93 PAGES

[sinful blade]

Do it

[deep parcel]

sounds like a 30 hour assignment having to explain everything

[idle nexus]

https://codeofconduct.dadeschools.net/#!/fullWidth/5866

[elfin mural]

your kid's gonna fall asleep

[idle nexus]

93 pages for elementary school kids

[storm narwhal]

oh btw, in page 91 it says that "buy" "purchase" actually just means you bought a revocable license to the textbooks and materials you paid for

[proud jackal]

Do I preorder dragon age veilgaurd

[sinful blade]

@elfin mural not trading the Xbox btw, gave me a hard time with finding the actual product model
Only to find out it doesn’t work

[storm narwhal]

wait I HAVE AN IDEA

[elfin mural]

lol

[storm narwhal]

chatgpt

[elfin mural]

ded laptop?

[storm narwhal]

Summarize that thing

[sinful blade]

Man was trying to trade me a non-functional $100 laptop

[idle nexus]

lol I was thinking of trying to get it summarized lmao

[chrome mirage]

I thought people said it looked bad

[deep parcel]

No, stand your ground. No preorders! Especially from EA.

[proud jackal]

[deep parcel]

could be another flop, who knows. bioware has not done well in recent years.

[idle nexus]

how you summarize rules like this tho... I dunno

[deep parcel]

be good

[storm narwhal]

i know duckduckgo has released a beta chatgpt

[idle nexus]

bruh

[storm narwhal]

that is completely closed off from openAI and runs independently on their hardware or something

[idle nexus]

I shouldn't ask CoPilot? lol

[storm narwhal]

but that also means you gotta copy and paste the entire thing in text into the browser-

[nocturne flicker]

The new Mass Effect that'll come out 20 years from now after whatever the hell they are doing for their dev process will be garbo

[deep parcel]

make sure you read your kid page 42, thats especially needed for a 7 yr old with a phone.

[storm narwhal]

Remember page 91 as well

they redefine purchases

[nocturne flicker]

Is there even any news on that game or is it still at the hey it exists stage

[idle nexus]

part of me wants to read it but part of me would much rather spend that time doing something else

[deep parcel]

prob not, if bioware flops this game... I could see EA shutting down Bioware

[storm narwhal]

lol summarize it with ai and read that instead

[elfin mural]

corrective strategies

what the hell is that

[storm narwhal]

i say that's the perfect middle ground

[deep parcel]

especially with how the game industry has been

[elfin mural]

why does a 7 year old need that

[idle nexus]

this really feels like the school version of the nonsense adhesion contracts everyone ignores when I agree to update something

[storm narwhal]

"we reserve the right to utilize neuroplasticity and mental suggestions to effectively brainwash your child"

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, they'll just fire 90% of the workers and sell the company and ip for cheap

[idle nexus]

page 37 covers Corporal Punishment? wth

[storm narwhal]

THE HELL BRUH

[chrome mirage]

I had a teacher that tried to convert me to becoming a vegan

[storm narwhal]

are they gonna let kids throw rocks at a kid who's being "bad"

[nocturne flicker]

No. It means they'll have a designated CP officer beat your child for misbehaving

[deep parcel]

It just says that corporal punishment is not allowed

[storm narwhal]

oh

well that's good

no stone throwing then

[chrome mirage]

One of the few teachers that actually did a good job at teaching got fired because he brought a water gun to school

[deep parcel]

both for parents and teachers

[idle nexus]

cuz here in the US of A, we allow the party in an infinitely stronger bargaining position to set the terms of agreements under the guise of "well, you can just walk away--you're entering into this voluntarily."

[elfin mural]

lmao

[chrome mirage]

Last I checked some form of schooling is mandatory

[storm narwhal]

but if you bring a real gun its okay

because that's everyone's right

[opaque sedge]

Lol I remember that nobody reads that at all

Not like they’re gonna quiz u on it

Student code of conduct or smth iirc

[idle nexus]

cuz you know, I can disagree & start my own darn school if I want. Or I can disagree & make my own operating system. Or I can disagree & start my own state

[nocturne flicker]

Mandatory arbitration clause

[idle nexus]

well not the last one but you get it

[chrome mirage]

I'm in Canada so you can't do that. Although some students have and didn't get caught.

[storm narwhal]

DEMOCRACY FOREVERRR ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

[opaque sedge]

Is the kid in a private school or public?

[storm narwhal]

oh damn that's wild

[idle nexus]

public

[rancid juniper]

i know there are some "lawful" citizens itching to pull the trigger in this cursed country 💀

[storm narwhal]

FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS

[nocturne flicker]

You just haven't tried it yet

[storm narwhal]

How about a nice cup, of LIBER-TEA

[nocturne flicker]

Just move to that null zone between Sudan and Egypt

Proclaim your country

[idle nexus]

lol what's it take for the UN to recognize me?

[opaque sedge]

Still that looks like a rulebook someone would get in prison wild for a 7 year old lol

[idle nexus]

is there like a minimum population? I'd look it up but there's probably an 80000 page document to sift thru

[nocturne flicker]

Don't need it, nobody wants the land anyways 😎

[chrome mirage]

I'm working at a high school now so when the school year starts up again I will have some crazy stories

[storm narwhal]

that's the standard eula you get for buying a walkman nowadays-

[dusk knot]

Need to play helldivers again

[nocturne flicker]

Micronations exist

[storm narwhal]

fire nerf :(

[nocturne flicker]

They aren't worth anything but they exist

[opaque sedge]

Uh an anonymous donation perhaps?

[dusk knot]

They did….noooooooo

[storm narwhal]

despite this being the season of fire weapons lol

give em a month to fix it

[dusk knot]

Crazy

[opaque sedge]

Helldivers has an element system?

[dusk knot]

I’ll play tomorrow

[deep parcel]

Helldivers is going downhill because they are nerfing all builds while making everything harder

[nocturne flicker]

Wasn't there a guy who made a country on an oil rig with a helipad on top

[idle nexus]

this drives me nuts. Like, in what world am I volunteering to get screwed by a company, allow endless collection of my data so they can sell it, etc. because I'm just too lazy to do it myself?

[storm narwhal]

why do we not have new weapons or stratagems for the impaler

[idle nexus]

isn't division of labor how humans stopped living in heckin caves? lol

[nocturne flicker]

Sealantis or something

[idle nexus]

hmm I just had a thought

[storm narwhal]

which btw, is crazy tough 4 commando rockets to the soft head bit doesn't kill it

[idle nexus]

you know how there's a right to publicity

what if someone sued Google, etc. claiming that using their data was violating that

[nocturne flicker]

You'd get laughed out of court

[idle nexus]

oh wait nvm I gave that all away when I tapped "Accept"

[opaque sedge]

Bro wanted the export tax for selling oil to the US (idk how taxation works heck god knows how when it comes to import and export)

All i know is import tax is pretty hefty

[nocturne flicker]

Right to privacy is a shaky argument in modern courts anyways

[rancid juniper]

Agreed to ToS??? too bad you already lost

[idle nexus]

lol I don't have any extra oil rigs lying around

lol no, right to publicity

[craggy shoal]

that's a mood lmfao

[opaque sedge]

Back at my home country import tax was like 300% so a goddamn Subaru would cost 100k in usd over there

[idle nexus]

like I can't make an ad for uh, a soda I invented or something, & photoshop Will Smith into it

[opaque sedge]

Not even a manual wrx btw

[rancid juniper]

i did it, all balanced!!!

[idle nexus]

heck that's a lot of storage

I like having my C:\ drive as empty as possible

I dunno why but

[rancid juniper]

thats somewhat normal

[storm narwhal]

me with only 40gb left on boot drive-

thanks, 256gb boot drive that came with the laptop

[rancid juniper]

if i showed you my downloads you'd probably be in shock

[opaque sedge]

Whats the fast games drive?

[rancid juniper]

i gotta clean that

[idle nexus]

also I won't be getting a floppy drive anytime soon & did anyone EVER use B:? so I start at A:\

[rancid juniper]

my 4TB PCIE 4.0 NVME

[opaque sedge]

Is it a top of the line gen 4 nvme?

[opaque sedge]

The fancy hynix one?

[rancid juniper]

i store most steam/epic/ea/whatever games on there

[rancid juniper]

no

[idle nexus]

I also like to name my drives what they are

[storm narwhal]

my game drive is 2tb mp34 lol

[rancid juniper]

fat games

[opaque sedge]

Damn man nobody in this server seems to have a t500…

Looks like i’m alone

[storm narwhal]

apparently my games arent that fat

[idle nexus]

I could rename D:\ "Fallout 4+mods" cuz that's all that's on there

[opaque sedge]

Tbf it was a kind of a bad purchase

Well mot bad bad

[rancid juniper]

😳

[opaque sedge]

But could have gone cheaper

And still be chill

[idle nexus]

I played it stupid for too long

[nocturne flicker]

Oh, that one is state based and is based around four concepts. The one you would go for is making private info public and they'd clap back with that you agreed for the info to be sold to private companies and they didn't leak it to the general public

[idle nexus]

I kept buying 500gb drives cuz they're cheap as heck

[rancid juniper]

lol wut

bro filled his whole pc with drives

[idle nexus]

seriously, I have so many too small NVMes lol

[storm narwhal]

raid 0 4 of them

[idle nexus]

ya that's their defense & they'd win I'd guess. I accepted their terms

[opaque sedge]

I just forgot to return mine

Oh wait

Its 1tb

[storm narwhal]

infinite speed

[opaque sedge]

Mb

[idle nexus]

I bet these are reallllllly good & worth the price

I'm even worse with SSDs

I have like 5 PNY SSDs that are all either 200, 250, or 150gb lol

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[opaque sedge]

An overpriced nzxt aio would be a better purchase than those

[keen shore]

💀

[idle nexus]

lol just on Amazon:

& only two are 2tb

[storm narwhal]

at least I haven't bought any 256gb NVMes

dunno who's still buying those but what the heck

[storm narwhal]

[idle nexus]

I gotta draw the line somewhere

are there even 128gb ones? that's a thumb drive wth

[storm narwhal]

once i grow tired of it im cloning my boot drive

[idle nexus]

[idle nexus]

[opaque sedge]

This is the cheapest mc’s got for 512

[craggy shoal]

of course it's their own brand too lol

[opaque sedge]

What does gen 3x4 mean?

[storm narwhal]

gen 3

[craggy shoal]

Gen 3 that runs in PCIe 4x

[idle nexus]

LOL what?

[craggy shoal]

Not PCIe 4, It uses up to 4 slots

[storm narwhal]

isnt all gen 3 capable of using 4pcie lanes

Ngff

sounds like a sound effect

[opaque sedge]

Cheapest gen 4 is their own brand too lol

[craggy shoal]

lmao

[opaque sedge]

I think the brand makes mechanical keyboards as well, i remember showing some on display here once and you guys were really impressed

[storm narwhal]

its inland ssd with mc logo in it lmaoo

[rancid juniper]

after cleaning the downloads folder a bit the drive is relieved

😂

[elfin mural]

wth

mc branded keeb

i kinda dig the color schemes

[craggy shoal]

Weak. Try a Windows reinstallation

[storm narwhal]

953 vs 930 accessible

WHAT DID YOU DO

[worthy meteor]

1024 vs 1000 prob

[storm narwhal]

i feel like windows would be more upset at 1000?

MiB vs MB

[worthy meteor]

Windows gets upset at 1000gb and makes it 930gib and then makes 1024gb into 953gib

[storm narwhal]

o

i figured it was the allocation size

[craggy shoal]

Don't even know what I did lol

Just deleted the C drive partition and it gave me 953 GB lol

i have a server with a 7700X and a stock cooler

should i buy a new cooler?

cpu idles at 60% usually

have alot of stuff on there lol

i would have done this myself at some point so thanks

[sage sluice]

Lol np

[tranquil pebble]

now I can Touhou my Firefox

[sage sluice]

[storm narwhal]

60% idle usage?

Or do you mean 60 degrees

[still sun]

Yeah I experienced this with my Vette, driving backroads to and from work and other places, then, when it got parked and I got my Maverick, i must have killed 3-4 critters in a few months on that same route

They just, jumped right out no hesitation

[paper verge]

i just mentioned its usage to say that i do use alot of power from it

so like cooling would matter a bit to me

just wondering how much investing in another cooler is gonna get me

[paper verge]

the reason why chips are like that is a limit cause theres only a certain limit of power you can pass through one of those pcb traces(they're usually smaller than hair)

[storm narwhal]

That's kinda crazy idle

That's medium load lmaoo

If temps look OK tho wouldn't worry

[paper verge]

its a production testing web server

[velvet summit]

I mean

Servers on idle are usually slightly less than that 💀

[storm narwhal]

And they're loud af

[velvet summit]

Also technically that's not really idle

[paper verge]

that really doesnt matter lol

but you guys think i should get it?

[storm narwhal]

Again, if it's not reaching 95 consistently

Don't really have to

You can though

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[paper verge]

sounds good to me

[storm narwhal]

Definetly won't hurt

And air coolers are pretty cheap

[velvet summit]

I mean, it'll probably be quieter with a better cooler

[paper verge]

extra fans or the cooler?

[storm narwhal]

AND quieter yeah

Cooler

I've actually reinstalled Windows. Installed OpenRGB before installing Armoury Crate (in this case, Razer as well). My computer still crashed

I'm sure it's a thing with Asus motherboards because all the forums I look for advice for, all the OPs use Asus motherboards (and same with me lmao. On two different Asus motherboards)

I have two other computers that run OpenRGB perfectly fine and they're both not on Asus motherboards. Basically, I have to install Armoury Crate and Razer Synapse :/

You're right. But remember when I mentioned power flickering is frequent? It's actually gotten worse after just a small couple of isolated thunderstorms 💀

[mortal grail]

<Razer & Asus, yet no bloatware needed

I have 0 rgb programs running now

Like it's all windows

[craggy shoal]

I've read about WDL. Don't know what it is and WSL comes up when I google it

[mortal grail]

SJW

WDL is windows controlling the RGB instead of anything else

And it just plain works

As long as the device has a firmware or software driver for it

[craggy shoal]

Ohhh Windows Dynamic Lighting. Got it

[mortal grail]

Mhm

I am in the future meta

No more rgb software

[mighty hazel]

🗿🗿

My friend uses a remote for it

[mortal grail]

DAMN

That's like the "We came full circle" answer

[craggy shoal]

That's rough lmao

[mighty hazel]

Some cases come with it but its better than using rgb software

[mortal grail]

I bet he likes generic cycling mode #3

[mighty hazel]

[elfin mural]

ah yes, generic rgb controllers

[mortal grail]

Yeah but then my mobo stuck on rainbow ick

[craggy shoal]

I'd actually like a solution for ARGB in my Bazzite OS build. Like instead of using OpenRGB I'd rather control it via an app lol

[mortal grail]

Bruh use windows

[mighty hazel]

[craggy shoal]

It's an HTPC. It would make more sense to use it in an app lmao

[mortal grail]

You're like the closest to WDL control than anyone else here

[craggy shoal]

Besides my main PC uses Windows lol. I'm not a Linux Redditor nerd

[mighty hazel]

Remote control is pretty decent if u just want static colors

[elfin mural]

but they rarely have white

for me that's a bummer imo

[mortal grail]

They have white

It's just

Cheap white

[elfin mural]

a bad white

lmao

[mortal grail]

Ya

[mighty hazel]

Yellow white or blue white

[mortal grail]

You want green white

[mighty hazel]

Take it or leave it

[mortal grail]

What about blurple white

[mighty hazel]

🤔

[mortal grail]

Remote genuinely feels bleh to me

Give me some form of white argb or just no rgb whatsoever

[craggy shoal]

About to just make an ESP setup and control it via Bluetooth lmao. Computer won't be connected to the RGB whatsoever

[elfin mural]

i have argb so i can adjust the white until it's the shade my eyes think is natural

[mortal grail]

Those remotes always feel so tacky

💀

I have a few of them

Like even I have a tolerance for quality

Lol

[mortal grail]

Control via app is great if you can do it

Smart home lighting is the next nicest thing imo

[craggy shoal]

I've looked at some prebuilt ARGB solutions before but couldn't find any good ones at a good price :/ The best one I found was like $40-$50 and I know it can be done for cheaper lmao

[mortal grail]

I'm not nerdy enough to make everything smart home tho, I'm too good at flicking the switch

[craggy shoal]

The only thing is that my 4070 Super RGB would be on whatever RGB setting lmao (unless I could connect it to the ESP system but idk how doable that is)

[craggy shoal]

I do a lot of self hosting. Messing with ESPs would be the next move for me when learning how self hosting works. It would be my first hardware-level self host project

Like connecting it to my home lab basically

[mortal grail]

Make an ESP that will disconnect ur GPU the moment it detects rapid motion of the mouse (Thrown)

Make 2nd command to detect keys on keyboard being mashed

sudo r fm

[craggy shoal]

lmaoo

I'm not on Linux lol

[mortal grail]

Create third command when plugging in controller to run macro for installing arch

[craggy shoal]

lollll
