[hoary zodiac]

I go on months long hiatuses

[ancient swift]

I need splitgate 2 to come back

I miss the alpha

[hoary zodiac]

I got overtaken by slovskii

[velvet summit]

you should've seen kenzie

[sinful blade]

Is that she who shall not be named

[velvet summit]

iirc kenzie went with he/him
but that doesnt matter for what im saying in this case

[sinful blade]

This one

[velvet summit]

kenzie had like the weggpert role

indeed

that kenzie

kenzie had level like 90 something

well, still not as high as someone like tomie but like 💀

[hoary zodiac]

Microwave chicken kenzie?

[hoary zodiac]

Nobody's going to ever top tomie

[velvet summit]

how tf did tomie even get such a high level like

💀

[hoary zodiac]

He's on when everyone else is off

When I was in his timezone he was always on

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[sinful blade]

Tomie is just

There

Tomie also types a lot over a large period of time

[sweet sun]

so like m

i linuxed too hard

[velvet summit]

"linuxed too hard"
is on mint

[sweet sun]

its sigfinicantoy more linux that windows 10 wsl ubuntu

[velvet summit]

💀

[sweet sun]

why is there a skip button in the installation

why

well now ill be able to take my precious p4800x out

[hoary zodiac]

Have fun with apt

[sweet sun]

and keep it safe in my giga pc

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not a fan of debian based distros

[sweet sun]

whats apt

[hoary zodiac]

Apt is a pain

[hoary zodiac]

Package manager

[sweet sun]

eh

is it better than windows

[hoary zodiac]

Windows doesn't come with a package manager

[sweet sun]

oh

i thought a package manager was another way of saying file manager

whats a packet manager

[hoary zodiac]

It's how you install stuff on linux

[sweet sun]

ok

its almost 3 am

INSTALLING LINUX MINT AT 3AM CHALLANGE

[hoary zodiac]

Should work out of the box

[sweet sun]

ik and it did

is

its installing rn

after its done imma go zzz in bed

[hoary zodiac]

wait until you have to figure out how to install stuff

[sweet sun]

what do i install tho

[hoary zodiac]

Google is your best friend

[sweet sun]

why not firefox

[hoary zodiac]

Google the search engine

[lone mango]

[sweet sun]

ew

duckduck go

is better

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah but you don't say I'm gonna duckduckgo something

[sweet sun]

YOU dont say it

i do (i dont)

[hoary zodiac]

I say google when I use duckduckgo

[lone mango]

Not always, sometimes I can't find what i am looking for but its typically for something super specific

[hoary zodiac]

It's pretty much a synonym for "searching this via x search engine"

[lone mango]

I still use ddg 97% of the time tho

[hoary zodiac]

ddg usually only fails me with images

I use ddg because it's the default on librewolf

I do have ugc installed as well because librewolf works too well a lot of times

Website hates privacy blocking features

[lone mango]

I have firefox focus on my phone and websites think I use an adblocker

[hoary zodiac]

firefox adblockers work

[lone mango]

Literally default settings

[velvet summit]

I use kagi; I did look into self hosting a search engine once but once I saw how much storage you need I decided not to even attempt it lmao

[hoary zodiac]

#1 selling point

Only thing preventing me from daily driving arch is battery life and school wifi

[sweet sun]

umm

why

whats

[hoary zodiac]

Running a windows vm eats up my battery

[sweet sun]

i quit

[hoary zodiac]

I need to use ms office

So

I just have a secondary install for now

I wipe it every few months so it's pretty a disposable os

[velvet summit]

Need ms office?

[hoary zodiac]

yeah libreoffice doesn't work well enough for me

[velvet summit]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

Office web doesn't work offline so

Yeah it's a pain

vms are the closest thing I could do

But school wifi is the last barrier

[velvet summit]

What do you do in msoffice that libre doesnt

[sweet sun]

ok today was the most productive day

[hoary zodiac]

Probably everything

It's the workflow

I honestly should learn how to work around those issues

[velvet summit]

Probably lmao

[hoary zodiac]

I mean I could solve it easily by running a vm

But then there's the school wifi problem

Won't be a problem for long tho so I could realistically make a full switch next year

[velvet summit]

Oh yeah right you were the one who was asking about the wifi not connecting

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it was a pain

I was 99% of the way to getting rid of windows entirely

Sooo close

[velvet summit]

Did you try with any other distros to see if those connected properly

[hoary zodiac]

It's with all distros

[velvet summit]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

The wifi is setup in such a way that it requires some annoying authentication protocol that linux software doesn't have

[velvet summit]

Probably not
It's probably just radius+wpa2 or 3 enterprise not acting right with some configuration or just your nic on linux

[hoary zodiac]

Probably

It doesn't work with android either so

[sweet sun]

so

is a quadro 600 a good card

[hoary zodiac]

for?

[sweet sun]

gaming

[velvet summit]

Was it? Kinda, when it came out maybe

[hoary zodiac]

That thing's fermi

[velvet summit]

Not anymore

[hoary zodiac]

It's not good for anything these days

[sweet sun]

cool

[sweet sun]

ok ;(

[velvet summit]

Even the k600 I had sucked for anything modern

Let along a 600

[sweet sun]

i hoped it could atleast run something easy like

like what

hmm

[velvet summit]

Minesweeper

[sweet sun]

stardew valley

[hoary zodiac]

aren't fermis ovens

[velvet summit]

It will do minesweeper

[sweet sun]

not when it has 96 cores

[velvet summit]

Oh hey it's raining

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[sweet sun]

it is an oven tho

[hoary zodiac]

Quadros weren't meant for gaming

you can game on them

you just wouldn't spend that amount of money to play games

when the GTX 480 existed

[sweet sun]

btw its equivelant to a gt220

[hoary zodiac]

my point exactly

[sweet sun]

cool

well so ig it can game

ill try out battlefield v

[hoary zodiac]

uh

by games I mean games from 2010

[velvet summit]

Minesweeper 5

[sweet sun]

2018 is close enough

[hoary zodiac]

no it's not

[velvet summit]

Damn it's raining hard

[sweet sun]

is 2013 close enough

[hoary zodiac]

gta v came out in 2013

you could try running gta v on it

it's possible

[sweet sun]

i dont have gta5

also

[hoary zodiac]

does it support vulkan?

[sweet sun]

someone ran it on a 210 so yea its possible

[last mango]

are you buying quadro 600?

[sweet sun]

no

[hoary zodiac]

ok

[sweet sun]

i have a quadro 600

[velvet summit]

Play Laura Croft and the guardian of light or smth like that

[sweet sun]

i was gonna run beam its from 2013

[hoary zodiac]

unless you run windows you can't play any games on it

proton needs vulkan for a lot of games

[sweet sun]

no gaming then ;(

ill find a way to run half life 2

[velvet summit]

Play half life

[sweet sun]

2

[hoary zodiac]

yes actually

hl2 runs natively

[sweet sun]

cool

[velvet summit]

I forget if portal 1 was Linux native

[last mango]

i bought 4090 white strix to just play strawdew valley

[hoary zodiac]

most valve games have been ported to linux natively

could be

[sweet sun]

this is just another way of saying im rich and stupid

[velvet summit]

Does deadlock work on Linux native

[last mango]

LOL

[hoary zodiac]

if they're cpu games you could run proton on wined3d

[velvet summit]

3d pinball

[sweet sun]

but can it run crysis?

[hoary zodiac]

no

really it can't

[last mango]

Crysis old

can it run cyberpunk 2077

[sweet sun]

why ;(

[hoary zodiac]

you can run crysis on windows

[sweet sun]

ok ;(

[hoary zodiac]

how did you end up with an ancient workstation

[last mango]

^

[sweet sun]

bday gift

[velvet summit]

Here, play this game https://lgames.sourceforge.io/LBreakoutHD/

[hoary zodiac]

where did they find an ancient workstation

wtf

[velvet summit]

eBay probably

[sweet sun]

fb market

[velvet summit]

Or that

[last mango]

...

[hoary zodiac]

how much was it

[sweet sun]

idk and idc

[hoary zodiac]

surely you could've gotten a haswell gaming pc for the same price

[velvet summit]

I bet they paid like 150

[hoary zodiac]

workstations have inflated prices

[velvet summit]

Usd

[sweet sun]

i already have a giga gaming pc didnt you know

[hoary zodiac]

no

[sweet sun]

also they got one from just buying it when it came out

and one from buying it used on fb market because they wanted two

and now they dont want two bc its a 12 year old workstation

[hoary zodiac]

I'm just confused now

[last mango]

^

[sweet sun]

ok (:

[hoary zodiac]

surely a used xeon would be a better option

[sweet sun]

it uses a xeon 2603

[velvet summit]

Terrible single thread though

[sweet sun]

so yea ig its a xeon

it sucks

but i can upgrade it to the beast 2687w

[hoary zodiac]

yeah because it's sandy bridge

[sweet sun]

drawing

too much power

so thats why im scared of it

[hoary zodiac]

I wouldn't buy anything older than haswell

(and haswell is questionable when intel e cores are a thing)

[sweet sun]

i mean i wanna upgrade to a 5810 mobo

but i would have to get everything new

a new cpu

[velvet summit]

2687 watt cpu frfr

[sweet sun]

a new ram

[hoary zodiac]

yeah get a R9 295x2

[sweet sun]

one new ram

not 2 not

4

[hoary zodiac]

counterpoint get alder lake

[sweet sun]

just a ram

[hoary zodiac]

outperforms it for probably the same price

[sweet sun]

counterpoint my gigapc has a 12100f

[velvet summit]

Elder lake

[last mango]

what did youy want that pc to run for

[hoary zodiac]

the point is that it probably costs the same to upgrade that xeon workstation to top specs

[sweet sun]

but a 2697v4 is pretty nice

[hoary zodiac]

you probably can't

[sweet sun]

it beats a 12400

[hoary zodiac]

different chipset

[nocturne flicker]

Elden Lake

[sweet sun]

i said upgrade to 5810 mobo

[last mango]

Elden Ring

[nocturne flicker]

Comes bundled with Elden Ring

[sweet sun]

with my current one

[velvet summit]

Elder ring

[sweet sun]

max i could get is 2687w

which sucks so bad

[hoary zodiac]

I'm so confused

[sweet sun]

i have a dell t3600

i forgot to say that

[hoary zodiac]

why would you spend the money to upgrade a decade old workstation

[sweet sun]

bc its my only other pc?

also i dont wanna upgrade it

[hoary zodiac]

what are you doing on it tho

[last mango]

dont you have a "giga pc"

[sweet sun]

i never said i wanted to

i think

[hoary zodiac]

uh

[sweet sun]

ok

then im stupid

im so bad at words

[hoary zodiac]

what is happening

where did this convo go

[sweet sun]

its called bad memory + suck at english

[velvet summit]

I'm too tired for this

I'm just gonna sleep instead

[sweet sun]

also + i have been awake for 24 hours too

same

[hoary zodiac]

sleep deprivation be like

It's getting us all

[sweet sun]

well gn ig

[last mango]

Btw i lied about 4090 strix

daily driving 7900xt lol

[hoary zodiac]

based

[mortal grail]

Can't make up my mind if I change case again or not for water loop

Quad rad phanteks?

[sweet sun]

why not air cool

[mortal grail]

Cos I already own the whole loop?

[sweet sun]

cool

[last mango]

$768 for 20gb VRAM and 1440p gaming, hell yeah based af

[mortal grail]

Ya it is cool

It cools

Many coolings

[last mango]

Air cooling is for peasant people

Jk

[hoary zodiac]

phanteks mentioned wtf is bad aesthetics

[last mango]

nv9 tho

[mortal grail]

Need 2 more p12m to do it tho

[hoary zodiac]

I've never had a bad product from phanteks

they're like cheap lianli

[mortal grail]

Wait I don't

[hoary zodiac]

or cheap nzxt but doesn't destroy airflow

[mortal grail]

Wait no I do, I can't fit rad #4

But 2 fans

Yea

[last mango]

and you want to quad aka 4 rad block loop it?

[mortal grail]

Can't 4 rad

Can only 3

I miscalculated

[last mango]

just ziptie

big brain

[mortal grail]

Gpu in the way

Pls send more instruction

[icy ore]

Instructions unclear

[mortal grail]

Hmmmge

[mortal grail]

TRUE

[hoary zodiac]

is that a car radiator

[last mango]

Attach radiator to the gpu for maximum cooling

[mortal grail]

I COULD DO THAT

HMMGE

MY FEET WILL BE ROASTING FROM 1100W OF HEAT BUT IT'LL LOOK CLEAN

[last mango]

Summer:

[icy ore]

Take it a step further and attach radiator fan to radiator as well

[mortal grail]

What about something like this
https://youtu.be/XNWimAHdyBU?si=dnAc_zM1YKTMxeFx

[last mango]

oh apnx

Ngl I want their pc case

But dang $$$

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder if someone's gonna make a case with an external radiator

[mortal grail]

Get it in white maybe

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it makes sense

having the heat away from the pc could help

[mortal grail]

Meshilicious

[hoary zodiac]

wait it exists?

ok that is cool

you get airflow as well

tbh cases these days are designed with rads in mind so

[mortal grail]

I wanted to try montech xr

But I don't know how good a 13900KS will be under a frozen edge

Kinda not keen on it

[hoary zodiac]

is it just me or is does every case in the 2020s look like an O11D

[mortal grail]

Cos everyone is copying

OOOO MAYBE

D41

OOOO

[last mango]

d41 what

[mortal grail]

I need a cable kit

[hoary zodiac]

41 sided die

[last mango]

quad rad block the D41?

[mortal grail]

I'd do dual rad

D41 mesh (+screen?)

[last mango]

yeah I own the d41 and i dont see a way to quad rad it

[hoary zodiac]

I want a desktop pc again

[mortal grail]

You can triple rad it

[hoary zodiac]

I'm getting fomo

[last mango]

what

[mortal grail]

But I'd only do double

[last mango]

top, front

[mortal grail]

Back fan

[last mango]

so where did i-

ah.

Wait wait what

[mortal grail]

I have a double thick 120

[last mango]

Oh

I was thinking is dude saying 400mm rad to back possible? LOL

[hoary zodiac]

Radiator?

[mortal grail]

Mhm

[hoary zodiac]

Damn

[mortal grail]

I have a bunch of rads now

[hoary zodiac]

How does that work

Compared to a standard 240

[mortal grail]

Bit worse

Same-ish

Depends on fpi

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[mortal grail]

Good fan makes it more or less comparable

This is not a question of aesthetics

[hoary zodiac]

Sounds a good itx rad

[mortal grail]

Kinda

It really needs the space

[last mango]

I'd like to see you do a loop in D41

[mortal grail]

Thinking about it tbh

360 top 240 bottom

[last mango]

cause i tried to sell my d41 and i decided to keep it for future soft loop build.

[mortal grail]

Full drives

Evga p2 1600w + custom cablemod set

I'd be short 1 8 pin pcie but I can repin one of my other cablemod cables to copy

I can't use my baller cable combs if I do this tho

Hmmm I keep looking

Inwin f5?

Nvm

F5 is a cool concept but tries too hard to be every size instead of one

[last mango]

lmk if ur dead set on d41 loop build

[mortal grail]

[last mango]

ooh that front panel is nice

[mortal grail]

Genuinely considering

[peak wyvern]

Guys, I built a pc like a month or so ago but bought a rtx 3060 cause I was running low on cash at the time, should I upgrade to the RTX 4060 or RX7600XT? (The RTX 4060 is cheaper in my country by 50 usd)

[hoary zodiac]

Definitely not

I'd save up the money for a substantial upgrade

3060 to 4060 isn't a lot

[peak wyvern]

I had bought a 1440p monitor, so should I save for a rx7800xt?

the 7800xt is only 40 usd more than the 7700xt here

but the 7900gre costs 150 more than the 7800xt

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

Better than going from a 3060 to a 4060 so

sure?

Do you need the upgrade tho

[peak wyvern]

I mean I want to play in 1440p ultra (AAA titles)

[hoary zodiac]

You could wait for next gen gpus to come out

Then you'd get a more substantial upgrade

[peak wyvern]

Alright.

It will take me like 3-4 months to save up.

[last mango]

Yeah, save up for a better upgrade.

[peak wyvern]

Okay,

[hoary zodiac]

Meanwhile here in poorville I've been using this 3070 for 4 years

[peak wyvern]

the 3070 is the same price as a 4070 here for some reason

I just opened amazon US.

They are selling the rx 7800xt for cheaper than here

[hoary zodiac]

Don't get a nvidia if you're only gaming on it

[peak wyvern]

Should I take the risk of getting it shipped from USA to India?

[hoary zodiac]

Radeons better value for gaming

[peak wyvern]

I'll only do gaming on it.

[hoary zodiac]

How much is a 6950XT in comparison?

[peak wyvern]

let me see

same price as a rx7900

[hoary zodiac]

In comparison to the 7800xt

[peak wyvern]

its 300 more than the 7800xt

[hoary zodiac]

Ok no

Save up for a 7800xt

Or wait for next gen (better option imo)

You've had the pc for a month

[peak wyvern]

Its 900 usd here

the 6950xt

I wish radeon had a factory in my country ngl.

[hoary zodiac]

That's what it's supposed to cost

[peak wyvern]

They are selling a 6750xt for 66000 inr here

thats 800 usd

In amazon USA, I see one for 200.

Thats like 16000 inr here.

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah well

[peak wyvern]

Should I take a risk and get it shipped from the USA?

[hoary zodiac]

Welcome to the rest of the world

You just gotta cope and not buy the overpriced ones

[peak wyvern]

I see the freedom land has taken over everywhere and selling it for high prices everywhere else

Time for me to mourn my wallet's death

[hoary zodiac]

no

It's simple logistics

And also economy of scale

Have some nostalgia

[craggy shoal]

What's this and how can I play it?

[last mango]

Is that Sims City

but hella older

[tranquil pebble]

Sim City 1

SNES version

[tranquil pebble]

was one of my favorite games as a kid along with SimCity 2000

[craggy shoal]

I wonder if I can get that on my switch lol

[tranquil pebble]

maybe if you did something sus with it

[craggy shoal]

I think they have a whole "emulation" section and (surprisingly) you can get a lot of games for free

I only remember my brother doing this when he got his Switch for Christmas though

[tranquil pebble]

I got bored and timed Discords slowmode. What I found is that the longer the slowmode is the less accurate the timing is on it. Its very slight but still interesting.

[gleaming sedge]

is there a black snorlax?

[velvet summit]

I did some load calculations on my natural gas system, and found that my tankless water heater, which is rated for a max of 180000 btu (according to the label) wouldn't have a big enough pipe to supply that

[mortal grail]

U tell it y it shouldn't be that way

Erf

That was pretty low quality ima not lie

[paper verge]

why does this sata ssd say it has 550mbps

so is it the same as a hdd?

how does it work

[mortal grail]

That's the limit of sata 3

Much faster than a hdd no matter how it's sliced

[craggy shoal]

I'd rather use a SATA SSD than a hard drive any day

[mortal grail]

GIVE ME ONE REASONNNN

[mortal grail]

I've been doing it until someone knew

[tranquil pebble]

HDDs are only good for secondary storage these days. Been this way for at least 10 years now.

Booting from an HDD with anything but a small Linux distro is pain

[craggy shoal]

By "secondary storage" do you mean the computer science definition or the PC gamer definition?

[tranquil pebble]

I mean not a boot drive

[craggy shoal]

Wait my bad that’s a given lol

[tranquil pebble]

the CS definition is not good. It conflicts with the same CS idea of calling it memory vs storage.

I just can not call RAM and cache any kind of storage, its memory

[craggy shoal]

Should just be "volatile vs nonvolatile"

[tranquil pebble]

Except then there is NVRAM which... is actually not nonvolatile.

battery backing does not make it nonvolatile.

[craggy shoal]

Exactly. It's still powered, holding everything

[tranquil pebble]

Theres a funny amount of inconsistency in the terminology

and yet the CS people will still insist on using the "correct" terms. lol.

[craggy shoal]

They think they're better than everybody lol

[mortal grail]

Those guys are no fun

Combustible memory is a fun twist on a 50bpm day

[tranquil pebble]

I tried CS in college, failed pretty fast when I didnt follow instructions to the very letter.

[mortal grail]

Brain chips?

Charged state storage

Electrically turned on nand

[tranquil pebble]

ironically what made me fail was my code was sometimes too good, like I kept accidentally using things the professor didnt want us to

[mortal grail]

Short term cache loss

[mortal grail]

WHAT

I would've challenged it

Lol

You can be overqualified for a job lol

Also

Precharged memory retention modules

[tranquil pebble]

not worth it when college costs as much as it does

ended up losing financial aid anyways

[mortal grail]

Nyoooo

[tranquil pebble]

I will probably go back at some point

[craggy shoal]

just get one of those Harvard certs

[mortal grail]

just

[tranquil pebble]

anyways yeah I wont be going for a degree, too expensive and way too much risk

[mortal grail]

Bro just pulls out one of the world's best universities like it's child play

[tranquil pebble]

it can give the kind of debt that would leave me permanently homeless

[craggy shoal]

they're free lol what

[mortal grail]

Is it?

I thought all education there wasn't

[sinful blade]

I should be a coding professor

I’d have no idea what I’m doing
So it’ll be like the real thing!

[mortal grail]

What the heck

[pliant berry]

coding is learning how to use google and stack overflow

[mortal grail]

Yo tf

[tranquil pebble]

software released under that license you can do whatever you want with

[mortal grail]

I can be a harvard trained medium

[tranquil pebble]

and use a debugger

[craggy shoal]

Actually I think you still pay for the cert @mortal grail

The education itself is free

[pliant berry]

oh yes that too, reading logs is important

[mortal grail]

Free*

[craggy shoal]

Yeah exactly

[mighty hazel]

I mean....worth it. Might as well start with that

[mortal grail]

I don't need happiness I just need more money

[sinful blade]

Unless you’re in India
My experience watching James may in India has taught me that trains just kinda suck

[mortal grail]

I'm overflowing with happiness

Wait

[pliant berry]

[rancid juniper]

[copper fable]

I'm trying to disconnect my battery but for some reason it doesn't want to

And also, there was a "do not disassemble" on the battery itself

[sour falcon]

yeah its not smart to disassemble batteries. personal experience

[copper fable]

I've tried pulling up that connector but it refuses to go up

😭

[copper fable]

Hahaha

[sour falcon]

does the connector have a retaining piece like a clip holding it in?

oh wait you can see it in the photo lol mb

[opaque sedge]

Just a couple more weeks till gow ragnarok becomes available on pc

So damn excited

[sweet sun]

when did linux get so

nvm

[copper fable]

OK it's up but it's still very hard to pull it out

I don't want to accidentally ruin it

[craggy shoal]

Just wiggle it out ever so slightly

[copper fable]

Oh no

I lost that black thingy

It's under the CPU I think

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[copper fable]

Not the black one sorry

It just kept moving

[craggy shoal]

Time to disassemble the whole thing just for that one part lolll

[copper fable]

I mean I don't actually need it right?

I don't want to use the battery anyway

[craggy shoal]

Is this the laptop you said you were going to convert into a server?

[copper fable]

I think so yeah

[craggy shoal]

Then no it probably doesn't matter

[craggy shoal]

Unless you eventually want to convert it back into a client-side PC

[copper fable]

It still doesn't move

[craggy shoal]

It'll move trust me

or

[craggy shoal]

if you're scared of my information given that I haven't worked on Asus laptops much, go lookup a battery replacement for your specific model (if you can't find your model, look for a similar laptop in a different tutorial)

[copper fable]

Battery replacement?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

It'll teach you how to take out the battery

[copper fable]

But wait what is that so important that I've lost?

[craggy shoal]

Google Tips 101 (by motor)

idk

Wait which part are you trying to take out?

[copper fable]

The battery itself that connector

It holds it like it's glued (I guess it is lol)

And my hands are too big for this

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I'd lookup a battery replacement tutorial. It'll show you how to take the battery out

I actually just unplugged the battery in one of my Dell laptops to make it a stationary/docked computer

[copper fable]

I've watched those vidoes and they all make it seem like it's very easy to pull it out the moment you get rid of that thing I've lost

But still I can't do it

[craggy shoal]

You're probably missing a screw

(I'd imagine idk lol)

[copper fable]

Maybe the one near the connector?

[craggy shoal]

It doesn't look unplugged lol

[copper fable]

The battery itself is. I can move it around

[storm narwhal]

Probably ifixit has a teardown of it

[devout forum]

Someone please tell me this guy isn't for real...

[storm narwhal]

WC like washroom?

Oh watercooler

Bro use your words lol

[craggy shoal]

Bruh the cable

[storm narwhal]

If you're gonna criticize them at least use the term

[copper fable]

Waittt

[craggy shoal]

I swear lmao

[copper fable]

I have this

[devout forum]

Blud forgot the 14900KS exists lmao

[storm narwhal]

Maybe it pulls up and out idk

The pins might not want to come out but the connector might be held by the black posts

[devout forum]

I feel that is appropriate as a response

[copper fable]

Can I do this?

[storm narwhal]

Ah

I bet it still lifts up

The entire green thing

[copper fable]

I can't move it

[craggy shoal]

I don't get how you can the:

Water cooling pros and cons

Pros

• Cools better
• Slightly better performance

Cons

• Expensive

Air cooling pros and cons

Pros

• Inexpensive compared to water cooling

Cons

• Less efficient than water cooling

and still be like "air cooling is vastly superior to water cooling" belief

[storm narwhal]

Aight idk then lol

I'd look up an ifixit teardown

Oh and by up I mean towards the camera

Like away from the motherboard

But I assume that was already tried

[devout forum]

I'm a $/perf nerd

[sweet sun]

twoosers?

[copper fable]

Yes

[sweet sun]

also water cooling con is not every case supports it and more moving parts so it fails easier

[craggy shoal]

Actually what it should be

[storm narwhal]

Not every case supports a tower cooler either

Though in a different way

[sweet sun]

but then you can get a non tower air cooler

that fits

[craggy shoal]

Fr. Not even a good argument lol

[sweet sun]

why is it not a good argument

[craggy shoal]

I'm saying it's not a good argument for an air cooling snob lol. I was typing with one finger on my phone for a second and I didn't want to take five years to type two sentences

lol

[copper fable]

Yeap it's been an honor

🫡

[craggy shoal]

🫡

[copper fable]

No longer boots

[storm narwhal]

But swipe typing

[copper fable]

But now it doesn't use the battery

At least that!

[craggy shoal]

Is it throwing flashing LED error codes? Probably via the charger light or somewhere

Lookup the codes and see what it's telling you

[storm narwhal]

Maybe it just can't exist without a battery plugged in

[craggy shoal]

I know some Dells are like that (like the Latitude 7320)

[copper fable]

Oh no it did when I plugged it in but now it doesn't

[copper fable]

Now it works

But let's see if it recognizes the battery or not

I'm soooooooooo lucky

It works

With the battery

but wait

[craggy shoal]

There's more!

[craggy shoal]

Now you set the PS4 on an IKEA Lack floating shelf and watch your guests freak out

[velvet summit]

💀

[copper fable]

Can't I take that instead?

Or is it something else

[craggy shoal]

The plug goes to the speaker

[copper fable]

Oh really

Lol

Am I being stupid or is it another slot for an nvme?

[sweet sun]

its another slot

[copper fable]

Got it a year ago let's open it

[sweet sun]

;(

[modest belfry]

Hope that heatsink fits. That model is basically glued on afaik

[sweet sun]

hope you didnt spend more than 60$

[copper fable]

Around 69$

But no really

I got this for free

[copper fable]

From Amazon

[sweet sun]

ok

you probably gave them 200$ worth of personal data for that drive

[copper fable]

Nah the first was "broken"

Apparently it wasn't but I already got the new one

[safe cape]

looks sooooooo good

[copper fable]

Things don't go well today the screw doesn't want to come out

😂

[rancid juniper]

thanks

[safe cape]

have fun

[rancid juniper]

👍

[opaque sedge]

For how much longer do you guys expect console exclusives to remain a thing?

[copper fable]

Hmmm now it takes some time before I can turn on the laptop, what does it mean?

[rancid juniper]

probably till nintendo dies

[opaque sedge]

Cuz it seems like when it comes to single player gaming experience consoles still kind of have a leg up

Like bloodborne

(Ok now I understand why its a meme)

[opaque sedge]

The arasaka of the gaming industry

Well actually i take that back

[rancid juniper]

real

[opaque sedge]

Arasaka is pretty versatile in manufacturing according to lore

And they dont bother with lawsuits

They go to straight up shooting

[young matrix]

🤓

[opaque sedge]

Ig sony is the closest thing to arasaka in the gaming industry

[velvet summit]

im absolutely dumfounded by how i managed to optimize my cart to the penny

[young matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/скала-rock-dwayne-johnson-валв-valve-gif-26437924

Its probably Sony tbh

Ur prolly the type of guy to overthink ram speeds

[velvet summit]

mans addicted to cyberpunk

[velvet summit]

quite the opposite

im running my ram at jedec

[opaque sedge]

Nah currently god of war is my obsession

[velvet summit]

💀

[opaque sedge]

Preposterous

[young matrix]

Wtf is wrong with you

[velvet summit]

i gave up at trying to find a stable freq since i have a mixed kit in my system

[young matrix]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

And you didn’t think of the consequences whatsoever

[velvet summit]

i probably should of bought better ram instead of upgrading my monitor lmao

[opaque sedge]

Exaggerating

[velvet summit]

i did, but i needed more ram

[rancid juniper]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[opaque sedge]

Trying to get into the gow lingo

Get it cuz consequences and whatsoever

[velvet summit]

16gb of my ram is bdie ddr4 and 32gb of my ram is just cheap silicon power

I don't see why not

[young matrix]

Real

[opaque sedge]

Also make a boatload variety of products

[velvet summit]

nintendo:

[sweet sun]

yamaha

[velvet summit]

real

[opaque sedge]

Random lawsuits GO

[velvet summit]

yamaha probably is closer

[misty sparrow]

I forgot the part where it said "in the gaming industry"

i thought it meant as a whole

[opaque sedge]

Oh right cuz they also make jet engines no?

[young matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/have-boof-dies-judgement-yakuza-gif-21294389

[velvet summit]

yamaha made ALOT of stuff in their history

[sweet sun]

me playing my yamaha keyboard through my yamaha speakers while riding my yamaha bike

[velvet summit]

nowhere near as much as like, 3m, but that's an american company

[opaque sedge]

Bro is the definition of corporate colonialism

[velvet summit]

3m is a wild company

[young matrix]

Samsung is crazy if youve been to korea

[sweet sun]

what do the 3 ms stand for

[young matrix]

They own everything

[velvet summit]

pretty much everyone in the world probably has used one of their products in some shape or form at some point

[opaque sedge]

Oh Yh they’re basically the arasaka of korea

And almost the governing entity apparently

[velvet summit]

uhhh i forget honestly, something about the 3 founders

3 men? LMFAO

ah

[young matrix]

Appliances, tech, life insurance, boats, energy, construction, schools, health products, makeup, etc

[opaque sedge]

Dont think bro has been getting men lately yall

[velvet summit]

it was 3m because it was named the "Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company"

[sweet sun]

MINNESOTA

wwww

i love minnesota

[velvet summit]

SODAAAAAAA

[opaque sedge]

Ofc life insurance is on there

[opaque sedge]

Most shadiest service ever change my mind

[young matrix]

😭😭 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Life_Insurance

[misty sparrow]

what are the odds that someone pulls the SODAAAAAA joke right as i grab a soda

[velvet summit]

fate

[opaque sedge]

Holy crap they’re actually korean arasaka at this point

[young matrix]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

anyways

[misty sparrow]

"Your life insurance also comes with a free Galaxy S24"

[rancid juniper]

genshin car?

[velvet summit]

anybody who has been in a car has probably been in contact with a 3m product

because some of the lubricants and glue and crap are made by 3m

at least in the dodge chargers and challengers

[opaque sedge]

Corporations getting more power is honestly scary tho, like if u’ve seen the opening cutscene in cyberpunk in the corpo lifepath the corps have enough authority to immediately seize all assets of their employees

[velvet summit]

if you ever used command strips, those are also made by 3m

[misty sparrow]

||it's accurate to real life too||

[velvet summit]

though those are prominently marked as a 3m product

[opaque sedge]

And the fact that most can do that even today although they have to go through a somewhat lengthy process

[velvet summit]

most of 3m products are used industrially though so alot of end products end up potentially using some formulation that 3m made

[young matrix]

Sounds about right

[opaque sedge]

Man mike pondsmith is a god

He was able to guess the future

From 40 years ago

Wait when was the tabletop game launched

[velvet summit]

The company produces over 60,000 products under several brands, including adhesives, abrasives, laminates, passive fire protection, personal protective equipment, window films, paint protection films, dental, orthodontic products, electrical, electronic connecting, insulating materials, medical products, car-care products, electronic circuits, healthcare software, and optical films.

3m moment

[opaque sedge]

Ok almost had it

[misty sparrow]

I wonder what kind of medical products they make

how would you go from making glue n stuff to medical products

[velvet summit]

they do make bandaids though not the brand name

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-money-spongebob-gif-8454828

[velvet summit]

well, a lot of time has passed

the company is quite old after all

it was founded 122 years ago

[misty sparrow]

1902 is old

companies usually dont survive for that long do they?

[velvet summit]

usually not

[safe cape]

play the gta 6 trailer

🥲

[velvet summit]

even disney is considerably younger than 3m

[rancid juniper]

gotta ask ai to make that

[velvet summit]

disney is only 100 years old

[misty sparrow]

yeah disney is like 1920s

[velvet summit]

practically a generation younger

lmfao

[misty sparrow]

actually probably 1923

[safe cape]

you can play youtube on that screen

there is a mod for it i think

[rancid juniper]

that screen doesn't work, other cars do tho

[safe cape]

oh okey

[velvet summit]

oh
might take a while for my cables to arrive

well, i am going to be slightly busy with making sure the bbq i converted doesnt explode on monday

(because the parts for the conversion are arriving on monday)

this is a legitimate concern btw
dont convert your bbqs without doing the proper research because it could become quite dangerous

[misty sparrow]

bbq? you converted your grill?

[velvet summit]

converting from ng to propane since we dont have a ng line to the back yard

[misty sparrow]

oh, you actually mean your grill

i thought you were using some odd abbreviation that wasnt barbecue

[velvet summit]

and i did the load calculations and determined that the 1/2" pipe can barely even support the tankless water heater we have, let alone our bbq along with it

lmao

[misty sparrow]

i'm sure hank hill will be proud

[velvet summit]

i honestly prefer charcoal grills but my parents dont like waiting for the charcoal to light so we got a propane one

i'll buy a charcoal one later on

i tried to contact someone on canadian craigslist (kijiji) but they didnt respond

why you listing crap if you aint responding

not even a "this isnt availiable anymore"

buh

[misty sparrow]

thats resellers for ya

at least you have stuff near you though

[velvet summit]

it honestly wasnt even that near

it was like an hour away

in a straight line
