[silver sparrow]

yep this is exactly why i needed a 7900xtx and 64gb of ram, just to run this game, cant you tell its very demanding?

[fair onyx]

Wow... I am impressed

I just scrolled through over 4k lines in CMD with a single mouse wheel spin, and I ended up perfectly on the exact line I needed, which was 10000 lol

[craggy shoal]

I actually don't listen to Macklemore

[fair onyx]

Thats my excitement for the day

I saw him and his daughter at the air port. It was an experience

[north crescent]

Yeah just look at that sky. 4090 barely renders that at 1fps

[craggy shoal]

Might be a little daring but have you tried Minecraft?

[fair onyx]

Lots of people very non-discretely whispering and looking at him. Dude didn't even have security or anything

[silver sparrow]

look at the detailed shrubbery, very in depth graphics here

[fair onyx]

living your best 2009, and I am here for it

[silver sparrow]

this is actually a modern indie game, and i just love it

its like car mechanic simulator but its based in australia

[fair onyx]

It really captures that upscaled arcade cabinet racer game vibe haha

[fair onyx]

Holy crap, a fake profession in a fake country... Peak fantasy

[idle nexus]

need 4:3 ratio

[silver sparrow]

well its much more a mechanic sim, than driving

[granite estuary]

Damn that’s dope

[idle nexus]

there's a game called Electrician Simulator

I started playing it but it's painfully boring

[granite estuary]

I play a game called universe sand box

[idle nexus]

plus not having a boss to yell at me to hurry up just wasn't the same

[granite estuary]

I blow up earth

[silver sparrow]

this is just a ripoff rx7.... just that i put a V6 with 500hp into it

[granite estuary]

Make the most powerful 1.6L you can

[silver sparrow]

YES

[granite estuary]

What

[silver sparrow]

That is straight up Arcade

[granite estuary]

Make the most powerful 1.6L engine you can

[idle nexus]

aw ye cabinet

[silver sparrow]

also uhhhhh i can get like a small 4 cylinder thats about it

[granite estuary]

You can’t get a 1.6L

[silver sparrow]

Hold on hold on, lemme look through the parts catalog

[idle nexus]

heck I want 6400 1:1

but I also don't wanna do the mission...

I wonder if 6600 1:1 would run lol

[craggy shoal]

I drink milk

[silver sparrow]

weak

if you dont consume at least near half a gallon a day are you living

[craggy shoal]

Oh that's cute

Have you tried a gallon per hour?

[light egret]

milk is bad for you

[lone mango]

I drink the whole protein shake at once

[silver sparrow]

nuh uh

[silver sparrow]

this is as close as i can get for displacement

[storm narwhal]

great, if it does go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagefileOnOsVolume in registry and set it to 0

then reboot

consume the entire bucket of protein powder

[sinful blade]

What’s a solid build for like $1,200?

[idle nexus]

heckkk

my stupid motherboard won't POST 6600 1:1

[light egret]

what'd you do to it

[obsidian berry]

Too much vitamins and calcium leads to problems

[silver sparrow]

i would have to die from overhydration before that becomes a problem

[granite estuary]

damn

that makes me sad

2L engine

[silver sparrow]

ill still build it

[obsidian berry]

If u drink a lot of milk in one sitting prob

[granite estuary]

I love 1.6l engines

so small

[silver sparrow]

ive drinken like half a gallon within 10 mins

multiple times

ive sustained off of milk for like years without drinking water

[granite estuary]

I am hungry

[silver sparrow]

if anything bad would have happened, it would have happened already

[obsidian berry]

Interesting

Do u prefer organic

[granite estuary]

I like skim milk

[silver sparrow]

do i prefer paying too much for milk, no

[obsidian berry]

I like chocolate

[silver sparrow]

whole milk all the way

red cap

[granite estuary]

Chocolate milk

[obsidian berry]

The taste is slightly different from regular milk

[granite estuary]

is my favourite

[silver sparrow]

i am actually curious how much money i spend on milk yearly

[sinful blade]

[silver sparrow]

considering like longest feasibly milk can last in my house is maybe a week or 2, and the shortest it can last is a gallon a day

i am a milk consumer

give me milk, and i shall feast

[obsidian berry]

Organic milk has a longer exp date

It’s like over a month

Less bacteria in it

[obsidian berry]

I used to really like milk like that, but I just fell off the milk trend

Idk why tho

[silver sparrow]

it just has that flavor for me that makes me crave it

as long as i continue to drink it every so often i shouldnt become lactose intolerant

[obsidian berry]

I don’t think it works like that

It’s more of a genetic thing iirc

[silver sparrow]

well essentially afaik, you have these little bacteria in your stomach that feast on lactose, and if starved long enough you loose them

thus making the rest of your digestive tract... very unhappy

[obsidian berry]

I wonder if vegans become lactose intolerant over time

Bc some become allergic to red meat if they don’t eat it for long periods of time

[silver sparrow]

your body depends on you consuming the things you eat on a somewhat near constant

[light egret]

I've never heard of that, I have heard of a tick bite that can make you alergic to red meat tho

[silver sparrow]

im headcannoning that you become allergic to things when such thing enters your bloodstream and you body identifys it as a threat

[obsidian berry]

Oh you’re right

I mixed them up

[light egret]

yeah I googled it and that's not a thing lol although there is this

Transitioning from a plant-based diet
People who have been vegan for a long time may experience allergy-like symptoms after eating meat or dairy again. It's recommended to transition gradually to allow the digestive system to adjust. When reintroducing meat, it's best to start with lighter meats like chicken or poultry, rather than red meat.

[granite estuary]

milk

[obsidian berry]

I was thinking of something from dr house 💀

[light egret]

milk doesn't do that either tho. Lactose intolerance is apparently only caused by a genetic fault

[storm narwhal]

you cannot build a tolerance to lactose

[silver sparrow]

@granite estuary i built it

[storm narwhal]

your body is naturally meant to wean off of milk after a certain age

[granite estuary]

how much power

[storm narwhal]

we're just the weird ones

[silver sparrow]

328hp.... which is really dissapointing

granted, this is like 1996 ish

[granite estuary]

Crank or wheel

[silver sparrow]

im assuming wheel

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-worried-scared-look-gif-23041456

Straight outta rust

[granite estuary]

Does it not say if it’s crank or wheel

[silver sparrow]

it does not say

[granite estuary]

That’s silly

Probably 328 crank hp

[silver sparrow]

usually it will just say this

[mortal grail]

[idle nexus]

what a terrible long-term business model

why can't they put time zones in alphabetical order so I don't have to look thru them for 5 minutes

[rancid juniper]

OH MAN MY PC!!!!!!?!?!??

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[misty sparrow]

oh my god

how the hell are you even able to select 96 chunks

[rancid juniper]

it actually exceeded 32gb and the game quit to menu

[misty sparrow]

96 chunks

[rancid juniper]

MC bedrock

I NEED 64GB wam

[misty sparrow]

just download ram

[rancid juniper]

real

since we can download frames why not ram for real?

[misty sparrow]

google be like "you have to buy ram of a specific type"

bing though...

[gentle canyon]

i play on bedrock cause i have friends i play with on a realm

[rancid juniper]

cool

[gentle canyon]

i know java is better

but i unironically play bedrock

which my one friend flames me for lol

[rancid juniper]

XD

[storm narwhal]

OHH NOOO MY PCCC-C-C---

[rancid juniper]

ah glad someone caught that reference

[storm narwhal]

great reference

[chrome mirage]

Wish I had the money for this.

[granite estuary]

Hi

[storm narwhal]

They say bedrock is supposed to be easier to use and then proceed to make it harder to use

I.E. removing a pillar that everyone used to host private servers

[tacit geode]

I test drive one of the newer Corvettes

I want one

It's so nice

Can't afford it anyway

Sales man knew I couldn't but said hey let's go for a drive

Was waiting for my car oil change and inspection

[chrome mirage]

I rode in an older viper when I was 12. The torque from that massive V10 is insane and it's been my dream car ever since

[tacit geode]

Yeah my dream car is a Escalade funny enough

I drove one when we looked at my current car

Bro that thing was smooth as butter on the road

But way out of price range

So my plan is next car is gonna be one of them

[chrome mirage]

My current car is pretty fun, it's a Toyota gt86

[tacit geode]

Yeah I remember

Not fun in snow tho

xD

[chrome mirage]

rwd can be fun in the snow with proper tires. I've had some fun in my dad's truck in 2wd during winter.

I have a couple friends that have winter drive their sports cars. One of them drives her supra in the winter.

[tacit geode]

Recently got a 2023 Buick encore gx

That thing has pep for a i3

It's a turbo i3

1.3l

Awd

[chrome mirage]

I tested out a car with that engine when I was working at a dealership, seems to like revving out and has decent power but the mechanics hate them.

[tacit geode]

Why

Also mine has the 7speed not the cvt

[chrome mirage]

Any time you use a turbo you are sacrificing reliability, also it makes them more complex to work on.

[tacit geode]

Oh yeah

[granite estuary]

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/44251398 how can I optimize

How do I get something out my usb c charger

It’s so small

[last mango]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-huh-cat-huh-etr-gif-15332443943609734737

[fervent stump]

Nvm I’m cooked

It’s like stuck

[fervent stump]

Not the charger I meant where it’s plugs into

My AirPods charging port

[last mango]

Tweezers but careful to not damage the port.

Clean out the dirt and gunk out of the port

[fervent stump]

I think I damaged it more

[tranquil pebble]

I do this with breadboard jumper wires on my phone. It works better than my tweezers.

[fervent stump]

And I used a metal stick

It’s usb c so I can’t use tweezers

[last mango]

https://tenor.com/view/exit-exit-pepe-saindo-vou-embora-sair-gif-25162644

[tranquil pebble]

time for replacement if thats the case... I did this to an old phone sadly

[fervent stump]

I can use the metal magnet on the back

[last mango]

I had to look it up

[fervent stump]

My AirPods are expensive and I’m poor

[last mango]

Cause I've never heard of breadboard jump until now

[last mango]

What

Well do you have a dentist metal hook?

[tranquil pebble]

I need to get a longer cord for my keyboard

its just a type-c to A to that will be easy to get

[fervent stump]

No basically

I use the key cap remover and cut a piece off so it was a long metal wire

[tranquil pebble]

for type-c you want to scrape the corners as that is where the gunk seems to build up

[last mango]

bruh

[tranquil pebble]

do NOT scrape the thing in the center

[last mango]

^

[fervent stump]

I did and it’s like stuck badly

[fervent stump]

Ummmm

Alright..

[last mango]

Yep she gone and done it

[fervent stump]

Sooo

What if I kinda did a bit?

[tranquil pebble]

the plastic with metal pins in the center is the data and power... you may have damaged it

[fervent stump]

Ummmm I hope not

I may or may not have messed with it

[last mango]

Just shine a light in the USB c and carefully scrape out gunk

[fervent stump]

I DID it’s like stuck good

There are so many cops outside of my school for people to enter

There’s 6 wow

[last mango]

One time I felt idiot after watching a repair guy fixed my phone charging port

[fervent stump]

Someone got pulled over

[last mango]

I told him my charging port wasn't working well

He was like ok lemme see it. Looks at my phone charging port. Then
Grabs a tool and then scrapes it out and then tests it out.

And gave back to me

"$15"

💀

[storm narwhal]

Damn

[fervent stump]

That was nice

Anyways I have to go I just got to school

[last mango]

Like bro I wish I looked up yt before having to pay $15 for a damn small stupid repair

[fervent stump]

Wifi sucks

[tranquil pebble]

Wifi can do >1 gigabit now so not really

[granite estuary]

Good day

[craggy shoal]

I really don't get how I wake up and I'm cold (context: I live in Texas)

it's 76F with a humidity of 49% and I've had my fan blasting all night lol. No wonder

Good morning weggers

[granite estuary]

How hot is 76F In Celsius

Is it hot

[craggy shoal]

I'm not converting that for you 💀

[granite estuary]

I woke up and it was 15C

[craggy shoal]

What is that in Fahrenheit

[granite estuary]

Only 24C

I’m not converting that for you 💀

[craggy shoal]

Yeah thought so

[craggy shoal]

lmaooo yeah see how it feels?

[granite estuary]

Man idc

[craggy shoal]

also ur mom

have a good day

[granite estuary]

15C is 59 F

[craggy shoal]

yeah I already converted it lol

[granite estuary]

there

[craggy shoal]

Was that in your room?

[granite estuary]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

that's nuts

Couldn't imagine waking up to that cold in my room lol

[granite estuary]

I’ve woken up to much colder

I forgot to turn my heater on last year and one morning I woke up and my room was 5C - 41F

[craggy shoal]

I've had power go out in the middle of winter for a couple of days and woke up to ~45F (~7C) temperatures

[granite estuary]

Damn

[craggy shoal]

Yeah the Texas power grid is fun to deal with at times

[granite estuary]

Do you guys ever get snow

And what happens if you do

[craggy shoal]

Actually the winter power outage I just mentioned was due to snow lol

But yeah it'll very rarely snow

[granite estuary]

Just because of snow???

That’s rough

[craggy shoal]

More like because everybody was trying to stay warm and it overloaded our grid

[granite estuary]

I guess your guys’ power grid isn’t designed to handle snow

Ohhh

[craggy shoal]

lmao yep

[granite estuary]

We get crazy snow here

[storm narwhal]

And we're still investing in heat pumps (electric heating)

That's definitely not going to strain the grid even more

[granite estuary]

For reference our garage door is 7.5 ft tall and last year we got a snow storm that nearly covered our garage to the top

[craggy shoal]

We don't have a good power grid lol. A few years ago we had a massive Cat 3(?) hurricane and it did more physical damage than electrical damage. We've recently had a Cat 1 (not as strong of winds) and we've had much more electrical damage than physical damage. Goofy power grid lmao (this is also probably because our powerlines are above ground and there's probably a lot more trees that have grown around the lines, hitting the lines and causing power outage)

[granite estuary]

Texas gets hurricanes

Damn I did not know that

[craggy shoal]

Yeah we're pretty prone to it

[granite estuary]

We get hurricanes too but just the remmenants of them

Depending on the power of the storm we’ll get cat 2’s to tropical storms

I think the most powerful one we ever got was a cat 3 back in like 2004

[craggy shoal]

Where do you live? (country obviously lol)

[storm narwhal]

On earth

Super earth

[granite estuary]

Canada

[granite estuary]

Canada is not on earth

Not anymore

[craggy shoal]

I didn't know hurricanes could travel up that far lol

[granite estuary]

Occasionally

I live in Nova Scotia which is east coast so they usually go all the way up the coast

To be safe, I would say no

Potential for damage with shorting when removing ribbon cables

[oak gale]

what about booting it after the cable is already removed

[velvet summit]

That should be fine

[fervent stump]

Unless you get it for $250 or less

[sinful blade]

good luck with finding one

[sweet phoenix]

There's a zotac gaming twin edge

You'd have to find it used yourself

You can always paint a gpu

[granite estuary]

You can paint them

[sweet phoenix]

Yes

[sinful blade]

All the white ones

[sweet phoenix]

Can find a tutorial on yt

[granite estuary]

I did not know you could paint your gpu lol

[sinful blade]

You just gotta exercise caution

Like always

[sweet phoenix]

Watch a tutorial before you commit to it

It's fairly simple tho

[granite estuary]

Evga made such nice cards

[sinful blade]

If you can find it used, yeah

But I don’t suggest buying gpus from Amazon since sellers don’t need to vet anything before selling

[granite estuary]

Nvm

This is 300mm

[granite estuary]

It’s overpriced on Amazon just the first link I clicked

guys is this good?

[granite estuary]

$525 American

Is that a decent price for a 4070

[craggy shoal]

You think that's bad? Look at the myspecs webpage I've made using just HTML and CSS (in my bio)

[sweet phoenix]

That's ok, 4070 super is better value but that's not too bad

[granite estuary]

$617 usd

[fervent stump]

Me likey

[rancid juniper]

lookin great, that gpu power consumption tho

[north crescent]

Welcome to shaders

[rancid juniper]

lol

[boreal cosmos]

:] ty ❤️

[surreal kernel]

I'm bored

[granite estuary]

What do you guys think of the silverstone sg16

[surreal kernel]

should I give in into windows 11

[granite estuary]

Why

I have windows 11

[surreal kernel]

because I'm bored

and idk I wana upgrade

idk if I should upgrade at first

[boreal cosmos]

I think im gonna partially clone this website https://www.andrejilderda.nl/en

[craggy shoal]

That’s not saying it isn't plain though. I'd still try to add a little more

How? Idk tbh lol. I’m still pretty novice as well lol

[surreal kernel]

can I install it through settings

[granite estuary]

very nice

is anyone excited for custom mice from pulsar

[velvet summit]

no

[granite estuary]

why not

[velvet summit]

because my damn walmart mouse still is working

and wont die

[surreal kernel]

I've been using my poor rog mouse for 3 years

[granite estuary]

so its not because you dont think the service is cool

[velvet summit]

i've been using my 17 dollar mouse since highschool

[granite estuary]

My steelseries mouse from highschool still works

I just got a pulsar

So now I have a backup mouse

[velvet summit]

it's been like 6 years now

this mouse still works like new

[granite estuary]

sick

[velvet summit]

it certainly doesnt look new anymore with dead skin and other crap in the cracks and some coatings being a bit worn

but no issues asides from that

????

[granite estuary]

That's good

[velvet summit]

i thought cheap mice were supposed to break

[granite estuary]

depends on the cheap mouse

[velvet summit]

i dont want to throw away this mouse but i also want to change to something else

😭

[granite estuary]

That's up to your own descrition

however its spelt

[velvet summit]

discretion

[granite estuary]

yueah

that

Just get a new mouse and frame your old mouse

ez

[velvet summit]

lmao

[tranquil pebble]

nah only some... but it will definitely have a subpar sensor on it

and very likely lower endurance on the switches

[velvet summit]

the switches definitely dont have lower endurance on it

played so much clicker games with this mouse in hs

[sinful blade]

Go get a cheap death adder essential

[tranquil pebble]

There are always exceptions

[velvet summit]

the problem isnt that i cant afford a new mouse; it's that i dont want to waste a perfectly functional mouse 😭

[tranquil pebble]

even a cheap mouse switch generally has absurd endurance ratings

[sinful blade]

It’s $20

[mighty hazel]

I have like 4 mice and I want another one. I think it’s a problem 💀

[velvet summit]

but what would happen to my old mouse

[sinful blade]

https://www.amazon.com/Razer-DeathAdder-Essential-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B094Q1GJSD/

[tranquil pebble]

as it turns out people have gotten really good at making switches that dont wear out easily

[sinful blade]

Use it as a backup

[velvet summit]

💀

[sinful blade]

What in the hell is this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQX1MBC4/

[granite estuary]

ergonomic mouse

[tranquil pebble]

someone should make a keyboard with 256 keys just because lol

[granite estuary]

What keyboard should I get

[craggy shoal]

Which one?

Lemme determine whether I should be excited about it lol

[granite estuary]

?

wdym which one

[craggy shoal]

Which Pulsar mouse?

Bruh. The one you mentioned lmao

[granite estuary]

They are releasing a service to make custom mice

it's not 1 mouse

you pick everything

Sensors, shell, clicky thingies

battery size

etc

[craggy shoal]

It better let me pick out the switches

[granite estuary]

yes

you can pick switches

[craggy shoal]

Yeah it better not be just the look of it

[tranquil pebble]

someone should make a DIY mouse kit

[granite estuary]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sPloUBpw14

[granite estuary]

I dont think so\

[deep parcel]

thats actually so cool

[granite estuary]

[granite estuary]

[granite estuary]

[deep parcel]

this has been my profile pic since like 2018 lol

[granite estuary]

https://videocardz.com/newz/first-geforce-rtx-4070-gddr6-cards-announced-but-packaging-doesnt-make-it-obvious

[granite estuary]

is it good

[rancid juniper]

no just find a gddr6x model

mmm finally no beta version

[dusk knot]

Still waiting for marvel's rivals

[rancid juniper]

i thought u weren't too interested in that game

😏

[dusk knot]

I am

Just tired of playing the same games like overwatch

[rancid juniper]

time to go game hunting

[dusk knot]

Lol??

[dusk knot]

Give me a sec

i cant play this on a phone

[rancid juniper]

LEL

[dusk knot]

the heck

[rancid juniper]

what

🤨

[dusk knot]

were in the same match?

[rancid juniper]

not sure

lemme invite u

[fervent stump]

Is there a app like pc part picker for apple

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[granite estuary]

Pcpartpicker

[dusk knot]

lolol

doubt

[rancid juniper]

e

[dusk knot]

will play later

[rancid juniper]

ok

[craggy shoal]

PCPP but add it to your homescreen (I think it turns it into an app technically)

(easily googleable I know but not many people know about the webapp feature anymore)

[fervent stump]

I mean like an actual app so I can use it without wifi

[craggy shoal]

nah

I mean, the notes app? lol

Excel too (I'm obviously joking)

I have poke

[dusk knot]

i missunderstood

i thought you said an app for customized apple products

💀

[craggy shoal]

lmao that's what I thought too

Saving the website to your home screen is the closest you'll get

[paper verge]

whats the best case rn

dont care about price

[craggy shoal]

Whatever looks good and does what you need (just completely avoid NZXT)

Montech also makes good budget cases

[granite estuary]

Damn that’s some savings

[craggy shoal]

I mean I guess

[granite estuary]

Is it an old cpu

[paper verge]

bro

[granite estuary]

Idk anything about and cpu

Amd

[paper verge]

this is a video titled 25k pc

and this is his ram

[craggy shoal]

Just not worth it imo

[paper verge]

LMFAO

[frail cypress]

Woah that's cool! (I know nothing about building PC's and how each component works) 🙂👍

[craggy shoal]

ok

[paper verge]

bruh the case is more expensive than the componenets

[frail cypress]

That's wild 😮

[granite estuary]

Are you AI

[craggy shoal]

lmaooo that's what I'm wondering

man bots are getting crazy. Usually it's just a "good morning" from some new person. This morning the same guy messaged that twice (already crazy). This guy is yapping full sentences now

[dusk knot]

a bot you say

if you see anything sus, ping me

[tacit geode]

@dusk knot I see you

[frail cypress]

Lol an AI? I wish I was. So I can figure out how to build a damn PC myself 😔

I just go online and buy a pre built one. But I just buy a gaming laptop instead cuz it's a bit cheaper

[frail cypress]

Well I would've said Good morning but it's 2:40pm for me

[granite estuary]

Building a pc is as simple as building legos

You just have to be more cautious

[dusk knot]

what

[frail cypress]

Cautious isn't in my vocabulary lol.

I'll know I'll mess it up

[granite estuary]

Well idk what to tell you then lol

[frail cypress]

Lmao

That's why I either get a pre built one or get a gaming laptop which I just did the other day. I got the Acer Nitro V. I heard good reviews on it except for the Brightness of the screen

Which I don't mind too much I did have the HP Pavilion gaming laptop and the screen brightness was alright

I just need something where I can install hella mods on my gaming laptop and have no problem with it

[rancid juniper]

nice

a better RE bundle

[fervent stump]

NZXT CASES ARE GOOD

:(

[craggy shoal]

They’re not

[fervent stump]

Price isn’t

[frail cypress]

I used to play the old resident evil back when it came out on PS3 but I didn't get into it much. I probably put a couple hours into it and that's it

I be playing fps, single player games, mmo

Games I don't play are Fortnite, valorant, pub g and r6

I tried getting into those games but man it's really hard to like it

[sinful blade]

@frail cypress are you dead set on a prebuilt

[granite estuary]

Fake

[fervent stump]

HOW

Are there any pc building games with vr?

[frail cypress]

Yeah or I'll have it custom built on a sit3

Site*

[light egret]

alright bois I just got my new phone charging port. Hopefully I don't mess this up 😰

[frail cypress]

Why? What happened to the other one?

[light egret]

I bought a motorola that's what happened

[frail cypress]

Did u drop your phone while charging?

[frail cypress]

Lmaooo I bout a Motorola the other day

Bought*

Motorola Moto One

[light egret]

I bought the razr, within a month a black dot appeared on the screen and started spreading. To replace it, I had to pay $275. Within a week of getting a new device, the charging port stopped working and idk why. I use one of those magnetic ones so that I don't mess up the port. Never had this issue before. Im not paying another $275

[fervent stump]

Lucky

My AirPods port got jammed or something in it and it wont charge

[frail cypress]

That fkn sucks

[fervent stump]

I have to put the magnet to the back now

[light egret]

Thats an ez fix, just buy a port cleaner kit

[fervent stump]

It’s usb c

[light egret]

yeah to waranty it through motorola they wanted to charge almost 800 dollars cause there was a tiny scratch on it. I do not like this company anymore

[light egret]

they have some for usb-C you just gotta be a lil more careful

[fervent stump]

I wasn’t careful this morning

[frail cypress]

Did u buy it off them or off Newegg or some other site?

[light egret]

I bought it outright from ATT and they said they cant do anything

I shoulda bought it from best buy or newegg or somethin

[frail cypress]

Switch to T-Mobile 😉

[light egret]

I would but it's not my service

[frail cypress]

Damn

[light egret]

I switched to my dads to save money and my last company locked my phone and wouldn't unlock it cause their system was messed up, so I just bought a new phone

instant regret

[frail cypress]

I hear ya buddy. That's rough

[light egret]

It's all good. I've done this stuff before but this one is def the most complex to replace lol so I'm a bit scared.

[sinful blade]

Are you cool with refurbished/open box?

[frail cypress]

It depends on how feel 🤷

If it's used but still new then yeah

[mighty hazel]

Usually it’s just returned

Like Ik people that have got motherboards for like 60 bucks cause of open box

[frail cypress]

Why u ask? U got something u tryna sell 😏

Lol

[frail cypress]

Were they decent or like super expensive motherboards

[sinful blade]

Nah, although I build them for customers
I don’t advertise here

But Newegg has some good deals on refurbished deals

What’s your budget

@frail cypress

[mighty hazel]

It was like 150 new so it was kinda mid rang

[fervent stump]

7600x3d

[frail cypress]

Damn that's good

[sinful blade]

Cursed

[serene nacelle]

gn guys

[frail cypress]

$1k

[fervent stump]

Good nice!

[fervent stump]

No >:(

[sinful blade]

Not alert

[sinful blade]

Gotcha.

[frail cypress]

Well that's for now

Cuz I already spent $2k

[fervent stump]

https://youtube.com/shorts/rp-N3v4L04M?si=wYzpbmcCBIdUrFx1

[frail cypress]

$1k can only get me a decent PC

[velvet summit]

wdym

1k can give you a midrange pc

[sinful blade]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-aegis-r-13nud-460us/p/N82E16883151374?

[velvet summit]

oh
prebuilt? then yeah that would be a little worse

[tranquil pebble]

at the rate things are going 1k might get you entry level in a few years

[sinful blade]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166896480572?

[fervent stump]

Wb 2k?

[sinful blade]

@frail cypress these two are good choices

[light egret]

WELP. I got the new charger port in. Now the device will vibrate when I try ot turn it on but no screen 😭

[rancid juniper]

uh anybody wants a free resident evil 2 remake steam key?

[granite estuary]

Time to work

And make that very little bread I do

[rancid juniper]

lol

[sinful blade]

[velvet summit]

water gun

literal gun

floodlight

plane

[sweet phoenix]

Check #tech-deals

[sinful blade]

Bacca immediately up-showing me with better builds

[light egret]

why do newer phones suck so much

[sinful blade]

Yes

[rancid juniper]

in terms of what?

[light egret]

repairability

[rancid juniper]

monee

[light egret]

I just replaced my charging port and now the screen doesnt turn on

[rancid juniper]

rip

[tranquil pebble]

iPhone?

[light egret]

motorola razr

dont ever get one

[tranquil pebble]

oh

Rog Ally seems to like to brick itself when opened too

[rancid juniper]

auto L

[sweet phoenix]

The one you linked is worth posting

[light egret]

im wondering if it's just somehow the daughter board I got is bad

[sweet phoenix]

I'd rather have the others personally, due to hp being proprietary, but that's still decent value

[tranquil pebble]

OnePlus phones do not, FYI

[rancid juniper]

hm?

[granite estuary]

Anyone do custom keyboards

[tranquil pebble]

at least the OnePlus 8 I had opened up did not brick itself

[rancid juniper]

good

[tranquil pebble]

istg PC OEMs are some of the scummiest companies ever at times

https://www.servethehome.com/lenovo-vendor-locking-ryzen-based-systems-with-amd-psb/

Vendor locked CPUs... yeah be careful of buying used CPUs now

[sinful blade]

That’s messed up

[tranquil pebble]

its old news, but worth digging back up

[mortal grail]

Feel like only a couple, lenovo being one, are guilty of that

[tranquil pebble]

Its still absolutely horrible

[surreal kernel]

ain't no way bro

[mortal grail]

They have the setup fused so if you try to take it out - bricked cpu

[tranquil pebble]

not being able to salvage CPUs is insane

[surreal kernel]

i was doing the secret cyberpunk ending when you and jhonny storm araska and I had smasher on 15% I went to the bathroom, thought I had paused the game came back and looked at the end credit scene

I had accidentally hit f1 instead of esc

[surreal kernel]

what is that

[fervent stump]

I want a gpu that looks like a overpriced brick

Like this gpu isn’t a brick

[rancid juniper]

it is a brick

[fervent stump]

The zotac isn’t

[rancid juniper]

technically is

all of them

[rancid juniper]

in a matter of fact it looks like some deformed shoe

[fervent stump]

It’s not a BRICK it’s like a space ship

Also it’s just ehh

[rancid juniper]

you want?

OH WOW

nice

very nice

cheapest 7900XT?

[fervent stump]

I want a white 4080s

[rancid juniper]

._.

[fervent stump]

What?

[last mango]

Do they have AMD cards for that model?

[rancid juniper]

yup

[rancid juniper]

you're spending over 1k

probably more

[last mango]

be nice to turn into my asus tuf and make it stand out in my pc. Cringe ™️

[hoary zodiac]

Over 1K

[fervent stump]

It’s fine

[hoary zodiac]

Surely there's a radeon that outperforms it at that price point

[fervent stump]

I’d want one of these BUT THERE LIKE 1.1k OR MORE

THE ZOTAC IS 1029

[last mango]

Aero lol

I called my friend desperate

when he paid $1.4k For 3070 Aero

[rancid juniper]

😂

[last mango]

💀 💀 💀

[fervent stump]

There’s one gpu at a similar price but there about the same

[last mango]

The prices was bad because of crypto boom

Just get it in black and paint it in white

[hoary zodiac]

I don't think it was crypto

[last mango]

4head

[hoary zodiac]

I think it was scalpers

If it was crypto we'd be seeing a lot of second hand cards by now

[last mango]

Crypto caused scalping prices, no?

[fervent stump]

I hate nvida and GeForce

[hoary zodiac]

Silicon shortage

[rancid juniper]

weeb

[hoary zodiac]

And just 2020 in general

[last mango]

Oh ok ok. It's been a while

Thanks for the correction

[hoary zodiac]

Crypto was a part of it but not very significant

[fervent stump]

^^

[last mango]

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-metal-gear-solid-gif-14187145046150119880

[rancid juniper]

buys more nvidia gpus anyways

[last mango]

🤣

Does Anyone use Medal premium on daily?

[fervent stump]

THE ALL WHITE ONE IS 100 MORE

[last mango]

Idk if i want to pay $10 prem every month

[rancid juniper]

buy it then

[hoary zodiac]

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with a 1.5k laptop

[fervent stump]

NO

[hoary zodiac]

Bro wants to get a 1.5k gpu

[rancid juniper]

lel

[fervent stump]

It’s 1.1

[last mango]

I was about to say here comes the "boo hoo get pc perfomance for less"

Crazy how gaming laptops have come a long way

[hoary zodiac]

Ryzen mobile is amazing

[last mango]

I remember Nvidia 9xx series Mobile Laptops, they were barely playable

[hoary zodiac]

Made gaming laptops more viable as regular laptops

[fervent stump]

Which do I get?

[last mango]

Back when I was a Sophomore in High school. one of dorm roommates had it and I fawked over his laptop.

He said it costed $1k or something more

[hoary zodiac]

Did it have an A-Series?

[last mango]

No idea, the memory is faint. All I remember seeing a Nvidia sticker on tanned keyboard

and seeing the reciept

[hoary zodiac]

Hm probably not then

It's funny how gaming laptops are more cost effective than some regular laptops these days

[last mango]

Yeah but I was saying it came a long way from weak barely playable laptops that costs WAY more than building a pc for better performance for less dollar

to an playable laptop that beats my pc

but at more $

[hoary zodiac]

A Zephyrus goes for around 1K

Yeah

It started with RTX 2000

Then ryzen mobile got good

It was a really big leap in terms of value and performance

[sweet phoenix]

There's surprisingly cheap solid laptops

[hoary zodiac]

If you're lucky you can probably get a laptop around the same price as a desktop

[last mango]

As long ryzen chip isnt uh one of those cpus that consume more watt

[hoary zodiac]

No

[sweet phoenix]

We had $500 4050 7535hs laptop

[hoary zodiac]

They're the most efficient

[last mango]

HS or HX something

[hoary zodiac]

oh no

HX is still very efficient

[sweet phoenix]

Needed a ram and storage upgrade, but that'd run any game

[last mango]

Dang nice

[icy ore]

[hoary zodiac]

I limit my 5900HX at 10w max tdp

Runs microsoft office and other work apps fine

These chips have really gone a long way

[sweet phoenix]

Wait I lied

$600

https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Victus-15-6-inch-FHD-144Hz-Gaming-Laptop-AMD-Ryzen-5-8645HS-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4050-8GB-DDR4-512GB-SSD-Mica-Silver-2024/5395277312

[last mango]

I was talking about battery life

[sweet phoenix]

And its 8645hs apparently

[hoary zodiac]

I get around 6 hours out of my laptop

[sweet phoenix]

Ah, any gaming or do you just need a decent laptop for day to day use like school work

[last mango]

That's decent

[hoary zodiac]

But the battery's probably degraded a bit since it's a 4 year old laptop

[last mango]

I'm okay but I might want a laptop just for my wife 🤣

[hoary zodiac]

I limit the hell out of the tdp and I use an app to limit the gpu to igpu only

[last mango]

So she can play the dinosaur game to afk and get those points whatever

And stay in bed anyways

[hoary zodiac]

Zephyrus laptops are nice if you want an aluminium build

You get all the premium features of regular consumer laptops and the advantages of gaming laptops

I got a strix which is plastic but it's fine

[last mango]

I've got 5800x3d/32gb and 7900xt. Banging for gaming.

[hoary zodiac]

It can run VR so

[hoary zodiac]

Price?

[last mango]

I really liked MSI GF65 laptop

[hoary zodiac]

I'm guessing 1.5k

[last mango]

It's a desktop build

Sorry for confusion

[hoary zodiac]

Ik

Just a bit curious

[hoary zodiac]

Oh yeah are those the overclockable ones?

[last mango]

Uh it had i7 8750h cpu

And max q cards

[hoary zodiac]

huh

[last mango]

Gtx 1070

[hoary zodiac]

oh crap max q was a thing

So that would've been a top of the line laptop back then

...With a reasonable price

[last mango]

I traded in Hp omen of same cpu but gtx 1050 4gh and I paid $400 for that laptop at the computer shop

It was little dinged but holy crap I remember it could run Ark

With fans sounding like jet lol

I loved it cause the keyboard stays cool while I game.

Hp omen turns your keyboard into a cooking surface

[hoary zodiac]

Mmmmm

That's also when gaming laptops had massive bricks

Stuff like this used to exist

Although this is more of a desktop disguised as a laptop

[paper verge]

useless*

are these tank laptops actually more durable ?

[hoary zodiac]

Define durable

If you drop it

It's dead

[paper verge]

yeah i'd imagine it to turn into a billion peices

like lego

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

And funny thing is

My laptop probably destroys it

[last mango]

That reminds me of Reddit post

[paper verge]

like in perf or like in a fight

[hoary zodiac]

I have a 3070

[paper verge]

1v1

[last mango]

Somebody dropped a G14 Zepherus. It was okay from the drop

Next day kaput

[hoary zodiac]

Zephyrus has aluminium chassis

So they are more durable than the average gaming laptop

[paper verge]

overpriced rog crap

[last mango]

It was the LM spilling

[paper verge]

engine ekaput

[hoary zodiac]

I wouldn't say it's overpriced

[last mango]

Bad bad. You don't talk crap about rog. Shoo

[hoary zodiac]

I see a lot of them for pretty reasonable prices

[last mango]

Jk. To each their own opinions

[hoary zodiac]

And they do have pretty good cooling

TUFs are pretty ehh tho

[paper verge]

why is that

to me it seems like cheaper rogs

lol

i love how people say laptops priced are justified because of the whole keyboard, screen, speaker thing going with it, but honestly thats fairly cheap for those companies at insane bulks

[hoary zodiac]

I mean they're not bad

TUFs are ok

They're not outstanding but they're not horrible

They're just ok

[paper verge]

this stupid meme again

[last mango]

Laptops or Graphics card

[hoary zodiac]

Laptops

[paper verge]

what

[hoary zodiac]

I generally don't get asus gpus

There's usually better options

[lone mango]

Worst post in newegg cord

Isnt that cooler like 150 now

[hoary zodiac]

It got assassinated by thermalright

[lone mango]

Might as well get an aio

Fr

[paper verge]

aios r soo cheap rn

[last mango]

You were asking about my build cost Boeing?

[hoary zodiac]

I don't even look at aios these days

[last mango]

wheeze

[hoary zodiac]

I just get them if I want the aesthetic

[paper verge]

rich kids aio

which version is that?

[last mango]

3

[hoary zodiac]

That is a thick gpu

[last mango]

8th gen astetek pump

[last mango]

For real

[hoary zodiac]

This is my old card

Pretty standard dual slot card

It was actually pretty baller

Got it before covid prices hit

[last mango]

That pipe is cool

[hoary zodiac]

I always go sapphire for radeon cards

They're like the EVGA (RIP) of radeons

[last mango]

I'm very happy with my 7900xt asus TUF

Cause my first one 79xt

Ugh.

[hoary zodiac]

You can't really go wrong with 7900XT

[last mango]

Hard driver crashes on every games.

[hoary zodiac]

They're all kinda overbuilt

[last mango]

And driver timeouts

[hoary zodiac]

Typical

My 5700XT was acting up for the first month or two

[last mango]

I really wanted to stay with XFX Merc 310 but I sold after I got RMA back

Went with 4070ti for while
