LMAO

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I wouldn't mind it if Discord started pushing ads (I would block them so it doesn't even matter for me lollll)

[pseudo raven]

id watch like a 30 second ad per day

[craggy shoal]

Wolfgang vs typing runnerup contestant is crazy

[pseudo raven]

if it meant i got everything on nitro for free

[craggy shoal]

I said ads not ad breaks

Don't get them too excited

[pseudo raven]

💀

nah i mean they have to make money

as a business to pay the bills

are they even profitable right now

[nocturne flicker]

Why open the door to it. They'll do what they are doing now and make you watch ads

[pseudo raven]

[craggy shoal]

Three of this mfs now

[tranquil pebble]

imagine a news site but its only in meme formats

[lone mango]

Oh wow so I took that for granted and ran with it. So its more like the mobos and intel's own microcode issues because they have been around for a while but on a really small scale. After a long time it got worse and worse until all of this came out and then statements from intel were changing multiple times over, until they finally released the proper microcode update that stopped creating issues. I wonder why it took so long to remedy this

[craggy shoal]

Don't give the 12 y/o's any ideas

[lone mango]

Wolfgang writing a book rn

[tranquil pebble]

I was thinking more like 2000s meme formats

[nocturne flicker]

Is this 4Chan? What is sites? Who are you? Where am I? What year is it?

Oh I see

So the Onion

But more bad meme

[tranquil pebble]

multiple typos caused by Discord duplicating or rejecting key inputs

[lone mango]

I have a hotkey to record and discord was the main window open

I did that for hours and people were pinging me

[polar schooner]

anyone know why im not getting any sound off of my focusrite at all anymore. its set to a 48000 sample rate like its always been on but just does nothing

[velvet summit]

do you have the right input/output selected?

are you talking about the input or the output?

[storm narwhal]

sound can be input or output yeah

you gotta be more specific

[gilded kraken]

Windows gave me news today

thanks windows

[storm narwhal]

Asteroid will hit earth but it's fine guys

It'll just be another extinction level event it's okay

[thorn totem]

What is a ubiquity dream machine?

[worthy meteor]

considering it's ubiquity, just a normal access point

[gilded kraken]

its a access point that drops a mist of chloroform to help you sleep

[thorn totem]

Ah. But 350$

[gilded kraken]

very handy for overworked IT staff

[thorn totem]

So. . . What is an access point?

[worthy meteor]

they generally make entreprise equipment so they have wacky requirements they have to meet

router, mesh point, extender, can be anything you connect to

[thorn totem]

I want to make a home lab.

With that whole wifi shiz and nas for plex.

[worthy meteor]

generally you won't need it to be on a scale like this

transparent does not work that well with dark mode but yea

[thorn totem]

But will it help if it's a 3 floor house?

With basement.

And home security cameras.

[worthy meteor]

just a mesh network should work fine for most people

[gilded kraken]

depends how well the wifi signal goes through the floors but if its centerally located or meshed it will be fine

like two meshed AP's will do it for a 3 story

[thorn totem]

Ah, rn I have a asus mesh wifi 6 thing.

[gilded kraken]

or 2 meshed routers. will do the same

[thorn totem]

I wanted something "better" and thought a whole server thing would work better.

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/choso-choso-jjk-choso-jujutsu-kaisen-choso-anime-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-10037971888755283102

oh yea rtings has router reviews you can look at now
https://www.rtings.com/router/reviews/best/mesh-wifi-system

[thorn totem]

Thanks, friend.

[gilded kraken]

but did you know that no mans sky now has fishing?

[thorn totem]

Ya also play?

[gilded kraken]

I havent tried it yet. I have been playing Monster hunter world and star trucker

waiting for SPASS MARNIE 2. Xeno boogaloo

[velvet summit]

not quite enterprise, more of small-medium sized buisnesses
i dont think there are any large buisnesses that currently use ubiquiti currently, they've got more of the prosumer networking market than enterprise

[thorn totem]

I played it since launch but stopped last year. I started pokemon shield 4 days ago and finished it yesterday.

[worthy meteor]

I was talking to an IT guy at my school before, they said they were still mostly working with ubiquiti equipment still, prob can't extrapolate much but the equipment is definitely still around

[thorn totem]

Linus uses dream machine.

Or two

[velvet summit]

lmg is a small-medium sized business

[worthy meteor]

yea lmg is probably on the small end

[thorn totem]

In his house

[worthy meteor]

most consumers do not use 10g networking at all

[velvet summit]

yeah i see alot of homelabs use ubiquiti due to ease of use

[thorn totem]

You're an ease of use

[worthy meteor]

but yea that could be it

[velvet summit]

most enterprise users are buying stuff like cisco still, as well as mellanox, juniper, aruba, etc.

mostly because 10g is too slow for those clients

i struggled so hard to spell juniper lmfao

main difference is that the actual enterprise grade networking companies tend to have 40gig, 100gig, and faster networking for their intranet

[thorn totem]

I use 100 gig in my house.

Trying to upgrade to 250.

[velvet summit]

what are you using it for

[thorn totem]

Work from home

Ya know. Using it to post memes for big companies on twitter.

Need that speed to post.

(Is there even 25p gig?)

250*

[velvet summit]

if you need more, you tend to use like, link aggregation or such to load balance

and then it may total that

[thorn totem]

You're so smurt. Ya went to school?

[velvet summit]

i mean, the highest data rate (not in production units, just the max speed transfered in a lab setting) is like 900tbits/s by some japan researchers or smth like that

i forget the number

[velvet summit]

i study networking lol

[thorn totem]

Moving to Japan?

250 gig dont exist man

[thorn totem]

Lmao*

[wary fjord]

i thought its a new article xD

[thorn totem]

Neither does Santa clause

[sweet sun]

i know

[wary fjord]

because i remember they broke it already last year

[sweet sun]

anyways

why do you have 100g

[thorn totem]

But Santa Claus does.

[velvet summit]

anyways, back on ubiquiti, their fastest option only has 25g

[sweet sun]

what are you talking about

im interested

[thorn totem]

Bruh, only 1/4 of what I thought possible

Guess Cisco is the way to go

[velvet summit]

there are alot of networking companies around

[thorn totem]

But I liked Ubiquitie because of the app and all that. Easy to use.

[velvet summit]

ubiquiti is just... well, kinda the apple of the networking world?

[sweet sun]

lgetmen343 what are you talking about i am interested

pls tell

[velvet summit]

they put a fancy ui on everything, and also like, cnc alu cases and crap

[last mango]

did wolfgang send a life changing wall text?

[velvet summit]

networking

[thorn totem]

Tbh, I was offered a server rack with Cisco but thought it was cheap.

[sweet sun]

ik that

give more info

[velvet summit]

macro went onto discord because game crashed while he was at work

[velvet summit]

enterprise networking

[last mango]

LOL so my theory was half off

[sweet sun]

i know

give enough info so i can help

[thorn totem]

Lmao

[sweet sun]

because i am decently knowledgeable in networking

[velvet summit]

nah, not giving help, just having a convo

[thorn totem]

Ye

[sweet sun]

ok give me enough info so i can participate in this convo

[velvet summit]

was talking about why ubiquiti isnt used in enterprise enviroments much if at all

[thorn totem]

I'm trying to see what would be best for my home lab

[sweet sun]

ok

well the best for your home lab would be a umm

idk

[thorn totem]

I liked ubiquitie for the UI but the speed is capped at 10 for the dream machine.

[sweet sun]

what is your home lab like

[thorn totem]

Well, for now it's just 3 pcs in racks.

Need better networking and wifi

[pliant berry]

I am finding ubiquiti used in enterprise more and more often

[thorn totem]

Ah!

[sweet sun]

so

[thorn totem]

You scared me!

[sweet sun]

umm a 75$ 8 port sfp+ switch from aliexpress

[thorn totem]

That was so sped, I'm sorry.

[sweet sun]

easy best option

its cheap efficient and good enougj

[velvet summit]

at least they have 25g now
last i checked a year or 2 ago, they only had 10g

[thorn totem]

Aliexpress can't be trusted.

[velvet summit]

or at least i didnt see them with 25g

[sweet sun]

aliexpress is fine

my friend got alot of aliexpress switches and none have failed after 5 years

[thorn totem]

Chinese will steal your data and murder your dog for fun.

I've seen it happen.

In game.

[sweet sun]

chinese will steal your data no matter what

but idk about the dog one

[thorn totem]

No way! Not me.

[pliant berry]

after ubiquiti I see a lot of aruba and tplink

[velvet summit]

honestly, mikrotik stuff is pretty good price to perf, though they are more command line config than web ui

[velvet summit]

my college uses aruba, and my highschool/elementary school used tp link

[sweet sun]

what you want for your “homelab” tho

[thorn totem]

I have 7 protective layers now. I have 4 different identies and stole 2 social security numbers and 1 social insurance number.

(This is all a joke and I don't have 100 gig at my house.)

[sweet sun]

ik you dont

[thorn totem]

The most brands I've seen for cheaper and in second hand is ubiquity and cisco.

[sweet sun]

you can only get 50g as a consumer

if you are lucky

[thorn totem]

Ye

But depends on where you are located.

[sweet sun]

yes

ik

thats why i said if you are lucky

[thorn totem]

You're lucky.

[sweet sun]

no

[thorn totem]

Aren't they the same brand?

[sweet sun]

im stuck with a garbage ac1200 access point 10 meters away through two walls

[thorn totem]

Nvm.

Womp womp

[rancid juniper]

might get this one

[thorn totem]

I have no clue what ac1200 is.

[velvet summit]

cisco, broadcom, arista, aruba, fortinet, juniper, dell, etc. are all commonly used enterprise networking (and also some other products, e.g. dell poweredge blade servers are also quite popular from what i've seen)

[last mango]

pog

but E-atx

holy sheet

[rancid juniper]

yea its big

i have an ATX pc

i was checking the reviews and they said that airflow is goated

[velvet summit]

ac = 802.11ac = wifi 5
1200 is the intel chip or whatever

[thorn totem]

Dell and HP are big in server units.

[velvet summit]

well, the whole name is the intel chip afaik? but ac denotes it as wifi 5

[sweet sun]

how much

https://www.ebay.com/itm/266410845975?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=r8QFNEbDRbm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ddlrml9ctae&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

also funniest switch

[rancid juniper]

60 bucks free shipping

seems good

[velvet summit]

i forget if it's an intel chip or something else

[last mango]

Damn

[sweet sun]

montech 903

[thorn totem]

So 2 generations behind?

[sweet sun]

60-65

but better

[thorn totem]

Are we in 7e yet?

[rancid juniper]

hmmmmmmmmmm

[velvet summit]

we've only just finalized the wifi 7 spec recently

lmfao

[thorn totem]

Ah

Welp.

[velvet summit]

also for wifi, there's no "e" or other suffix for mid generations as far as im aware

[thorn totem]

I will upgrade when gen 8 comes out.

I'll probably be 25 by then.

[sweet sun]

i am doing a project where i get me some wired internet

i have to drill through 2 things

[thorn totem]

So you pay money for bad internet as a project?

[sweet sun]

which sucks

[sweet sun]

?

what

[thorn totem]

Wait

[velvet summit]

oh it seems like wifi 7 isnt actually even finished being ratified aka finalized

[thorn totem]

I thought you said weird

My bad b

[velvet summit]

supposedly by end of 2024

[sweet sun]

anyways

[velvet summit]

wifi 8 is projected to be ratified in 2028

[thorn totem]

How come Tp link, asus, and others are selling 7 gen routers then?

[velvet summit]

the wifi alliance has released wifi 7 certification but the spec isnt finalized

[sweet sun]

im trying to get from my modem to the basement so i can use the connection from the basement to my room to get internet

[thorn totem]

Okie dokie

[sweet sun]

but the guys who wired this made it hard

[velvet summit]

there shouldnt be any significant changes from now till the ratification

[thorn totem]

I want to build a bunker in the 10 acers and have my own internet for when Russia nukes everyone.

[sweet sun]

bc they didnt make the hole big enough to fit an rj45 cable through

so i gotta drill a bigger hole

which sucks bc idk how to drill

[velvet summit]

normally you would terminate the cable after you fish it through the wall

[sweet sun]

im not fishing it through a wall

[velvet summit]

well, through the attic, same thing

[thorn totem]

Get those truss mending plates fixed!

[sweet sun]

im fishing it from this thing to the basement

[velvet summit]

ah

[sweet sun]

its a 40cm drop from where the cable goes in in the first picture to this blue box

[thorn totem]

Why did they not hammer them into the wood properly?!

[velvet summit]

ususally the boxes are meant to be able to be drilled for the proper wire sizes

[thorn totem]

No, on his attic.

Look at them. They are not fully nailed down.

[sweet sun]

well so my question is would a 36 inch long flexbit be able to drill through the floor

bc thats what i bought

but idk if it can deliver enough torque

[velvet summit]

tbf i dont think it matters that much
doesnt look like it would experience much latteral movement

[velvet summit]

it's designed for this lmao

[thorn totem]

Sniw

Snow*

[velvet summit]

just keep the bit relatively straight

[thorn totem]

Wait, are you Canada or Us?

Nic

[velvet summit]

who

oh

[sweet sun]

with this drillbit*

[sweet sun]

us

[velvet summit]

would it be able to reach???

[sweet sun]

100%

36 inches is alot

[velvet summit]

i mean

i only see the bit

lmfao

[thorn totem]

You're so done. Your roof will fall and everything will be lost with one heavy snow day.

[sweet sun]

i bought it

it hasnt arrived

[thorn totem]

It is. Usually I'm told 2 inches is a great size.

[velvet summit]

normally the flex bits i see used are this type though

just 1 long rod

[sweet sun]

yea i just didnt wanna pay that much

cheapest one was 30$

and i was like no id rather save 5$ and use my own

[velvet summit]

im not sure if yours will be able to bite

[sweet sun]

also i was scared i woudnt be able to fit an rj45 port through one of those

bc an rj45 port is pretty big

and i dont wanna buy my own rj45 wire crimper thing

[velvet summit]

a tip is after drilling through the floor, tape the cable to the rod and pull it back up so that it fishes the whole cable through in one step

[sweet sun]

that would cost even more money

[sweet sun]

i was gonna drill it through the blue box instead of through the basement

[velvet summit]

well, tape some thin rope so it actually fits

[sweet sun]

bc i had to use a 72 inch selfie stick to even get that photo

[velvet summit]

that is a long ass selfie stick

[sweet sun]

fr

also wdym it woudnt bite

[velvet summit]

i thought you were drilling a hole through the subfloor in the wall

[sweet sun]

yea i am

[velvet summit]

those flex auger bits have a screw to start the drilling because otherwise the bit cant "bite" and start drilling

oh

[sweet sun]

i can force a bite i bet

[velvet summit]

maybe, maybe not

[sweet sun]

hopefully

[velvet summit]

good luck though

[sweet sun]

thanks

well any tips on drilling through the blue box

[velvet summit]

hopefully your bit isnt so cheap that the drill bit tip isnt dull

[sweet sun]

i was thinking of cutting it instead of drilling it

bc that would be easier

[velvet summit]

cutting may be easier if you can take out the box

[sweet sun]

i cant take it out

my parents said i coudnt damage the wall

yea ill cut it but arent there gonna be screws on the way

one screw atleast

[velvet summit]

honestly for data wires, i like those uhh

idk what they're called, they're like drywall clips or smth

only suitable for low voltage data applications though

basically pick a place for ingress, cut a hole in the wall with the template, and you can easily drill and whatever through the hole

[sweet sun]

im not changing it

too much work

[misty sparrow]

i'm doing the same thing as you except i'm trying to fish it up the inside of the wall instead of down the wall

since there was some of that pink filling in the wall, i literally just drilled a big hole in the blue box. don't know about you though

[sweet sun]

idk if theres any filling on the wall

im really hoping theres not

bc that would make life harder

[misty sparrow]

you know what i'm talking about right? that pink filling? don't know the word for it

[velvet summit]

insulation? those are only on exterior facing walls

[sweet sun]

ok there isnt then

good

[misty sparrow]

there's some in my wall

[proud jackal]

forbidden cotten candy

[velvet summit]

sometimes interior walls may have insulation but ususally it's meant for like, sound proofing

not required by code

[misty sparrow]

if it's there for sound proofing then it doesn't really work

[velvet summit]

helps a little bit

[misty sparrow]

might as well just use it as forbidden cotton candy, there's extra in the attic too

unopened, very fresh

[rancid juniper]

hopefully this is an upgrade over my diypc n1 esport case

[rancid juniper]

tasty

[sweet sun]

montech 903

[rancid juniper]

i already bought the enermax

im sorry

[sweet sun]

why

[velvet summit]

i mean, it wouldnt completely soundproof a room (especially since your door is going to leak more sound than the walls)

[sweet sun]

i recommended it to you and you didnt even take a look 😭

[velvet summit]

every gap you see in your door is another place that sound will leak in

or leak out

[rancid juniper]

well it has 4 140mm fans preinstalled, can support 400mm gpus, has usb c 3.2 and two extra usb 3.0 ports

excellent airflow

also ive seen the montech 903 base multiple times

i just compared them both

[sweet sun]

you just described the 903 max

[rancid juniper]

not spending extra on the max

[sweet sun]

yea

[rancid juniper]

im going cheap yet again

[sweet sun]

the max isnt a better option against that tho

but the base is

unless you really love rgb

[rancid juniper]

i already have RGB fans

i could just take em out and swap to another case

[sweet sun]

phanteks xt pro

or whatever its called

[rancid juniper]

seen that, price went up did not buy

[sweet sun]

55 bucks best case basically

[sweet sun]

oh

[rancid juniper]

if the price was lower id get it

[sweet sun]

also fractal pop air

58 rn

also really good

[rancid juniper]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[misty sparrow]

can't do much about that

[rancid juniper]

it should be 3

[sweet sun]

its special

[misty sparrow]

what I can do though is work on this port in the wall for RJ45, hopefully get ethernet port in there

got a thinner fishing tool

[rancid juniper]

it looks nice ngl

[velvet summit]

this is why most doors for soundproofed rooms have weather sealing

[sweet sun]

what i plan to do to route my cable is use gravity

and it should just work

[velvet summit]

cons: room becomes a hotbox

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-download-how-to-speed-up-your-download-speed-up-download-gif-22119439

[misty sparrow]

this room is already a hotbox regardless

[velvet summit]

extra hotbox

[misty sparrow]

and surprisingly, it's not from the computers in here

[sweet sun]

lol

[misty sparrow]

it's the AC

[rancid juniper]

love that gif

[velvet summit]

your ac heats up your room? 💀

[misty sparrow]

the AC doesn't cool the room correctly because of how it was designed

[velvet summit]

have you tried using the evap instead of the condenser ong

[rancid juniper]

@sweet sun someone posted their pc pic in the reviews, dunno why he removed ALL THEM PCIE SLOTS

[velvet summit]

i assume central ac?

probably a vent issue if that's the case

[sweet sun]

omghrisjdjwq

kill that guy

[rancid juniper]

lmfao

[sweet sun]

execution?

[misty sparrow]

nah it's an AC issue

[rancid juniper]

leaving all that exposed is wild

[misty sparrow]

there is an AC unit in the attic above my room

[opaque sedge]

am I insane?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[sweet sun]

yes

[misty sparrow]

but it just sucks the cold air out and moves it into the other room, leaving this one warm

[velvet summit]

wait
the condenser is in the attic?

🗿

[misty sparrow]

no idea, i just know there's a unit in the attic

[velvet summit]

weird

i wonder what the point of that was

[misty sparrow]

no idea either

apparently one of the walls was built AFTER the AC was put in

maybe that's why

[velvet summit]

hrm

still weird

[misty sparrow]

i really don't know much about AC units

just that they're expensive

[velvet summit]

if it's your family's home, maybe if you have the money, install a minisplit in your room

easy to diy

well, charging the system may require a certification, but getting someone to do that is cheaper than the installation labour

getting the certification required is also easy

[misty sparrow]

for now though

i'll just focus on fishing this wire

AC is for later

[velvet summit]

lmao

[misty sparrow]

just don't know if this wallplate with an ethernet port already inserted uses cat6

don't necessarily need cat6, i could use cat5e but just saying

[velvet summit]

did you not look when you bought it

realistically it probably doesnt really matter

it's probably at least cat5e rated or whatever

[misty sparrow]

oh nevermind, it says "compatible with cat5 and cat5e cables"

so probably cat5e

[velvet summit]

yeah

is it a keystone

(are you able to remove it)

[misty sparrow]

not sure, haven't opened the box yet in case i need to return it

just in case though, i did buy a keystone cat6

[velvet summit]

ah

would the packaging say if it's a keystone plate or like, welded on

[misty sparrow]

back of the box doesn't say

[velvet summit]

oh well

btw are you fishing a pre-terminated cable or are you terminating it yourself

[misty sparrow]

terminating it myself

[velvet summit]

i would recommend punchdown keystone jacks in that case

[misty sparrow]

punchdown?

what's the difference between that and a normal keystone jack

probably a terrible question but

[velvet summit]

more reliable
though that being said, are you using solid core cable? punchdown is meant for the solid core type

[velvet summit]

"normal" as in female to female you mean

[misty sparrow]

yeah, normal keystone jack

[rancid juniper]

cat7 when?

[velvet summit]

i mean

that exists kinda

[rancid juniper]

IT REAL???

[velvet summit]

it's only recognized by like iso

but not ansi

[misty sparrow]

just as an advertising gimmick right?

[velvet summit]

nah

it's an official standard but not by every standard body

[rancid juniper]

bro

💀

not so TUF huh?

[velvet summit]

lmfao

also where they getting that many volts and amps from a twisted pair cable to do this

[misty sparrow]

probably tried to recreate that scene from back to the future

[velvet summit]

lmao

[misty sparrow]

man tried to get 1.1 gigawatts of electricity

[velvet summit]

technically PoE could do this, but PoE has some communication prior to sending power

weird

[wary fjord]

thanks for buying xD anyways ....

seller probably xD

[rancid juniper]

aint my fault the cable is faulty
-seller i think

[misty sparrow]

temu cable

[velvet summit]

btw cat8 also exists
meant for 25g and 40g networking

[rancid juniper]

BEEG SPEED DAYUM

[misty sparrow]

still automatically gets assigned 480p resolution on YouTube videos because why the hell not

oh hey, my username color changed

i did something i guess

[wary fjord]

have u guys have this temu ads where they act its a scam xD then prove its not

[rancid juniper]

think so

[wary fjord]

i dont know how to unfilter it on my yt xD

[misty sparrow]

it's even worse when a channel gets a temu sponsor and plays it during a video

[wary fjord]

they hire different country to do it

xD theres different version of it and language so weird

most of it wrench set

[sweet sun]

cat8 is real

there is no difference between cat 6a and cat 8 cables

cat 8 is just verified to do 40gb

even though so could cat 6a bc its the same cable

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn-XNhTn0ok

deym 7 bucks xD

[misty sparrow]

oh, that's the kind of ads that you're talking about

those banner ads in YT

[wary fjord]

wait a min

it does work

how they do it xD

[misty sparrow]

wait

they're real?

at least the first one i see

something really does not add up here

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UdYAV_yCw04?feature=share this one im talking about

they are now shorts

i hate it

they should stay as ads xD so i can block them

[misty sparrow]

oh, i hate these

if you scroll over it is it shown as a shorts ad or?

[wary fjord]

mix bag if u dont have adblocker

[misty sparrow]

this is scummy if this isn't marked as an ad

[wary fjord]

its a short it has link

an ads never had a link xD

[misty sparrow]

sometimes they put ads in youtube shorts, but it's shown as an ad

[wary fjord]

yeah yt is weird now i guess

[misty sparrow]

especially since ublock origin isn't working as well now

they're putting ads directly into the video stream, probably why it isn't working

[mental yoke]

I have a choice

New gpu or alot of storage

[lone mango]

I have no issues with adblocking maybe it depends on the browser

[velvet summit]

depends on what gpu you have and how much storage you have

[random osprey]

get that one gpu that has a m.2 slot on it and then you can put a lot of storage on it

[misty sparrow]

Firefox

Don't know why it's not working sometimes

[lone mango]

Thats weird

I have firefox too and nothing is wrong

[misty sparrow]

They don't pop up that often, but the last time I got one was a few days ago

Maybe they fixed it

[mental yoke]

3070

[lone mango]

[mental yoke]

Its white

And i have a black pc case and motherboard

Its making me mad because its out of place

[misty sparrow]

and that's why you wanna upgrade?

[mental yoke]

And theres the 10% discount on ebay

[sweet phoenix]

I read this very fast and misread one of those words very badly

[misty sparrow]

high refresh rate must've gotten to you

which word did you misread anyway?

[velvet summit]

how much storage and/or are you running out of storage

[mental yoke]

4tb ssd+ a 4 slot pcie expansion card

I only save 50 dollars

Nvm

[storm narwhal]

Great scott

Ever think about a nas

[gilded kraken]

I did the same when It came out. Was a great run, never did get to do NG+

final valk fight was a nightmare

must of did it like 15 times

the roguelike mode was also incredibly anoying

[wraith fern]

NG? Boeing 737 NG???

😱

[mortal grail]

Facing insolvency from the Slovakian government rn. Don't touch anything EK with a 10ft pole unless we hear good news soon (unlikely)

[storm narwhal]

Ek more like eeeekk

(Do not touch it)

[lone mango]

I accidentally touched it

[mortal grail]

Wash ur hands pls

[tranquil pebble]

Great scott! Gordon Freeman

[wary fjord]

i feel if u turn the vavle so fast it will cold quick xD because u took all the hot water faster

[tranquil pebble]

yeah that transfers energy out of it

[frosty sinew]

dual 5700 time lol

[tranquil pebble]

5700X + RX 5700 XT?

[frosty sinew]

yep

[tranquil pebble]

9950X might be my next CPU seeing as x3ds might not be available

[frosty sinew]

this is my last cpu on am4

[tranquil pebble]

3700X was my only AM4 CPU... I switched to SP3 shortly after.

[wary fjord]

people are so dumb this chase bank glitch trend they all now have negative balance

hahaha

[frosty sinew]

catch me up lol

[frosty sinew]

sp3?

[tranquil pebble]

Threadripper 3955 WX

[frosty sinew]

ohhh

dang nice

[tranquil pebble]

this is the mobo

effectively unlimited PCIe lanes lol (128)

[frosty sinew]

i was gonna complain abt buying this cpu lol

your mobo is prob 3x

[tranquil pebble]

its a $999 mobo, $1000 CPU

[frosty sinew]

ok way more

that cpu is in cad

[tranquil pebble]

and at the time it kept up with a $6000 Xeons

in some workloads which is nuts

[tranquil pebble]

dw this was a one off type deal... It will be literal decades before I need to replace this. My next build will be a normal one and this will become a NAS on steroids.

[frosty sinew]

my nas is a core 2 quad 😭

[tranquil pebble]

the board has 20 gigabits of ethernet bandwidth via two 10G

[frosty sinew]

HOLY

[tranquil pebble]

Intel Server NIC integrated into it

most $1000 boards dont have stuff to back up the price tag... this one does

[frosty sinew]

fair

[tranquil pebble]

LGA 4094... 4094 pins on the mobo

[frosty sinew]

drops cpu

[tranquil pebble]

no pins on the CPU, so

its LGA

AM4 was PGA and had pins

[frosty sinew]

ik

i mean drops it in the sockert

[tranquil pebble]

it actually slides in

This is not a normal socket design

[frosty sinew]

can you not still drop it on the pins?

isnt it open on the top

or is there a cover

[tranquil pebble]

it would be an unlucky hit if you somehow managed it

the CPU is a chonker too, so its hard to accidentally drop it

[tranquil pebble]

there is also a cover

[frosty sinew]

linus will manage

[tranquil pebble]

like you'd have to be absolutely reckless to damage it

[frosty sinew]

linus 💀

[craggy shoal]

Bruh what is this

[pliant berry]

No offense to the vfx people but this just looks very cheap

[craggy shoal]

Should've been animated. This is gonna goofy with Jack Black and Jason Momoa and a couple of other no-name actors (unless I haven't heard of them lol)

[craggy shoal]

Looks like they did it in Blender 💀

[pliant berry]

Idk they look like no names to me

[sinful blade]

@pliant berry is there a Finnish version of pcpp

My phone isn’t letting me find it

Or is it just uk

[pliant berry]

I have no idea lol

[misty sparrow]

It looks fan-made but I’m pretty sure even fan-made stuff can look better

[velvet summit]

How many people here had heard of concord before it shutdown anyways
I learned of its existence from the shutdown

Didn't see ANYTHING prior

[wary fjord]

if they animate the actor i think it will work

[velvet summit]

Did Sony not even attempt to advertise the game

[wary fjord]

u mean the underwatch?

[velvet summit]

Idk

[silver sparrow]

I love breathing

[mortal grail]

I learned it existed when the dev went off at reviewers

And really put the nail in the coffin

[velvet summit]

💀

Like, the director? Or some random person on the team

No way the entire studio went off on reviewers lmfao

[mortal grail]

One of the principal devs from memory

"Talentless hacks" iirc was their choice of words

[sweet sun]

kill

[wary fjord]

whats physical activity?

https://tenor.com/view/mood-sad-panda-gif-14650463720672021603

[wary fjord]

i love zapping this thing

i bough 45w zapper xD go pop pop

Gonna be really happy when AGESA is out

"shush" bruh mute the chat 💀

[mortal grail]

Lad needs to chill out before mods ping him for spam

[craggy shoal]

Can't even tell whether he's trolling or being fr

[mortal grail]

I'm not bothered by it either way

[silver sparrow]

My entire work day

[craggy shoal]

Me neither but it's goofy lol

[wary fjord]

🙂 we all chill

[misty sparrow]

Depends on how fast I kill it, but then again it’s probably around for longer

[mortal grail]

Unless it's one of them mad flies

Won't sit still when you try to kill it

Flies into your face like an ASS

[sweet sun]

mmm

[mortal grail]

You all know the one

[amber raptor]

Literally didn't hear anything until like 2 days before its release

[misty sparrow]

I only knew about it when I looked at the online store and saw the controller

Remembered thinking it looked terrible and that the pricing was too high

[mortal grail]

Oversaturated market

Poor marketing

Bad dev behaviour

[misty sparrow]

Little appeal to consumers too

[mortal grail]

Wrong core focus design principles

It's textbook example of putting the wrong ideology to what should've been a product that couldn't fail imo

Sony are primarily to blame if you ask me

The fact most people had NO IDEA of it until near release is insane

For something they had so much investment in

The beta having more peak players than the full release speaks volumes to this

[amber raptor]

The market definitely didn't want another hero shooter.

[misty sparrow]

It’s like they spent eight years under a rock

With a box of scraps

[mortal grail]

They didn't, but then again another one in the mix wouldn't have meant it's assured death either

[misty sparrow]

But unlike Tony Stark they built something terrible with that box of scraps

[mortal grail]

Another battle royale to come out likely wouldn't fail like concord did

[amber raptor]

They wanted to capture overwatch's success, but without what made the OG good.

[mortal grail]

Ye

Bad core design

They tried to tap into too much and lost all character of the game itself in the process

[misty sparrow]

Battle Royales are an oversaturated market too just saying

[mortal grail]

Ofc

[misty sparrow]

But it wouldn’t fail within a few weeks

[mortal grail]

Exactly

[misty sparrow]

I find it funny how more people are commenting on Reddit threads about the game then people are actually playing

[mortal grail]

Concord had so many things fail catastrophically to blame a single factor

But sony's marketing was awful here

[misty sparrow]

no ads at all besides state of play

[amber raptor]

Poor core design, the art style just kinda looks bad(imo). Gameplay looks like something you'd see a background character in a movie playing 😅

[misty sparrow]

and that state of play was awful

[mortal grail]

Ye

So many factors here

[misty sparrow]

None of the characters look unique either

[mortal grail]

The game itself is hard to comment on as far as performance goes

But generic is the best description

[misty sparrow]

AI-generated is giving it too much credit because an AI could come up with something more unique

[mortal grail]

Lmfao

I definitely think the biggest blame goes to the marketing tho

Most people don't know anything beyond it being a shooter

[amber raptor]

It straight up looks you took a broad caricature of all hero shooter characters, and just picked the 12 most popular and made the characters after that trope.

[misty sparrow]

I didn’t think it would be more of a failure than Redfall

[mortal grail]

Mmm I can't speak too deeply here, even I don't know a whole lot

[misty sparrow]

And this is Sony we’re talking about lmao

[mortal grail]

Imo Sony also deserves this after the HD2 delist drama

[misty sparrow]

they do

[mortal grail]

Call me one with a grudge but they tried to ruin that game

[misty sparrow]

big corporation that does not understand what people want

[mortal grail]

All for data harvesting

[amber raptor]

Lack of marketing was definitely the final nail in the coffin. Most people didn't know it existed until after release due to poor coverage from voices in gaming. And massive negative press on a game like that, that's already doing poorly, is absolutely fatal.

[mighty hazel]

So clearance sale soon?

[misty sparrow]

The 7/10 that IGN gave didn’t mean a score of 7 out of 10, it actually meant that the game had 7 more days to live

[mighty hazel]

Ign always has the worse takes 💀

[misty sparrow]

I’m surprised IGN gave it that high of a score

[amber raptor]

I know personally, I haven't listened to a thing that game journalists have said in the last 10 years at least.

[misty sparrow]

It’s a 5 at best

[mortal grail]

If you like watercooling with an elevated risk of QC problems, yeah sure, fire sale price is good

[amber raptor]

And I know I'm not alone.

[misty sparrow]

and this is coming from the people who gave doom 2016 a 6/10

[mighty hazel]

“Black myth wukong bad”. Everyone loves the game
Starwars outlaws good. No one likes that game

[misty sparrow]

if the game is easy then IGN will probably give it a higher review score

[mortal grail]

I looked up a review for a game for the first time after some half a decade or more 2 weeks ago

[mighty hazel]

Yeah they have major skill issue

[misty sparrow]

or if the game has “accessibility” options that lets it artificially be easier

[mortal grail]

And ofc the review was really misleading

[misty sparrow]

like last of us 2

[mighty hazel]

I was just gonna get an aio from them

[mortal grail]

The aios are fine (or were)

[mighty hazel]

Probably not now 💀

[mortal grail]

Thermalright is better tho

[amber raptor]

All of game reviews from major publications literally feel like they are reading from a list of talking points imo.

[mighty hazel]

Maybe not until clearance sale

[mortal grail]

Why? You have a warranty that isn't under threat

[mortal grail]

Heh. Like how looking up any product review websites sound like mid rolls? ☠️

I know exactly what you mean

Lolol

[amber raptor]

Free PSU to whoever doesn't want their system to ever function again

[mortal grail]

Hey I have one of those

[mighty hazel]

I’m willing to take a chance 💀

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-gamers-nexus-pc-bomb-planted-gif-22845602

[mortal grail]

Everything Victor said is true

[misty sparrow]

I love how the psu in the gif is the exact same psu

[mortal grail]

Ya

[amber raptor]

Because they explode.

[misty sparrow]

Just plant that thing like a C4 in counterstrike

At least then it’ll be useful

[amber raptor]

Luckily mine just shorted out the 120v input bus. Nothing on the DC side.

It's now been replaced with an overkill corsair. That was on sale.

[mortal grail]

I can't remember where I put my pgm, all I can find is my focus gx

[amber raptor]

The bad thing is, I have another system with a non-modular Thermaltake 650 from like 2015 that's still chugging.

That PGM was 2 years old.

[misty sparrow]

PSUs can last quite a while

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

ik it, all my suspicions and other people's doubts came true

people cant even get into the game

this is why always online is bs

servers overloaded n all

[mortal grail]

This is why I simply can't preorder anymore

[rancid juniper]

im glad i stuck to that mentality

i didn't either

[mortal grail]

I have zero expectations nowadays

And I just let the dummies throw money first before I decide

[rancid juniper]

^^^

FRFR

im usually the wait for sale kind of guy

frick day 1 purchases (well street fighter 6 was good, got it on discount tho)

[paper verge]

all gamers should get humbled

like i get big game studios suck but games are way too overhyped anyways

[mortal grail]

I have really basic expectations

Smooth gameplay, good online experience

[paper verge]

most gamers have the craziest expectations

[rancid juniper]

how the hell you make an always online game just for the servers to suck ass since closed beta?

[paper verge]

the devs that make your game are both over worked and underpayed so

[mortal grail]

So rare to find a game that meets these

[rancid juniper]

all that diagnostics went to nowhere!?!?!?

😂

[paper verge]

arma reforger be like

[mortal grail]

That's not the devs nor consumer's fault tho

[paper verge]

ik im saying its corp fault

[mortal grail]

Blame the accountants under budgeting and under staffing for a bottom line

AAA moment

It's literally everywhere 💀

[misty sparrow]

“GTA6 will have [crazy prediction here]”

[rancid juniper]

GTA 6 being a flop would be funny though

[misty sparrow]

It won’t be

but it would be funny

[mortal grail]

People would riot like the end of the world

[paper verge]

have you guys seen bo6 beta?

[rancid juniper]

at this point i genuinely don't care much anymore, stupidity gets even wilder

[misty sparrow]

can’t play it

not out yet on my platform

[paper verge]

cod movement is just stupid

cod with wz 1 movement was perfect then they had to mess it all up

[mortal grail]

Don't worry, switch will get it eventually

[rancid juniper]

the only good game this month probably

[misty sparrow]

speaking of switches, I’m like a light switch. This turned me off

[mortal grail]

Ah man

I was hoping for a date

God dammit

I gotta work on my rizz

[misty sparrow]

you ain’t turning me on

||don’t take that out of context||

[rancid juniper]

iirc someone paid $90+ dollars on tdusc

[paper verge]

cant say the same

[mortal grail]

I would give up hope

[rancid juniper]

bro is feeling despair

[mortal grail]

SC was like, racing game's last good chance 💀💀

[misty sparrow]

if this is essentially more of Astro’s Playroom then I’m down for this game

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-cillian-murphy-cillian-murphy-peaky-blinders-gif-1787947313354313976

[rancid juniper]

probably is

[mortal grail]

Gamers are starting to change their approach

People are actively crap talking games now

And going out of their way to review bomb

[misty sparrow]

What do you mean now

They’ve been doing it for over a decade

One look at Steam reviews

[mortal grail]

Bruv after the HD2 drama, people do it so much more

[rancid juniper]

why you think concord died so fast

oversaturated market n all

[mortal grail]

We've had a real mindset shift

Ofc people used to do it, it's so much more prevalent now tho

[paper verge]

ow2 be like

[mortal grail]

Yeah ow2 was another precursor

I've seen bad game publicity before, but those are pretty extreme

[misty sparrow]

The reviews on the Steam version were so funny, 90% of the initial reviews were negative reviews that told you to go play TF2 instead

[rancid juniper]

[paper verge]

tf2 🤮

my friends made me install it worst 2 hours of my life

[misty sparrow]

I think the most helpful review on that game is just the Steam store page of TF2

Literally just the link

[mortal grail]

Steam reviews are more entertaining to scroll than most AAA games these days

[misty sparrow]

damn right

the funniest reviews are the ones that say something like “Game’s okay, I guess”

Nothing special until you see the hours clocked

[mortal grail]

It's actually a bad thing tho, games used to be way more fun

[pliant berry]

Steam reviews have turned into the game itself

[mortal grail]

Go play old fps, old racing games, old rpgs

They're very entertaining if you can ignore aesthetics

[rancid juniper]

they had creativity and passion

[mortal grail]

Ye

[misty sparrow]

like HL2, which will turn 20 in a few months

[rancid juniper]

nowadays its slop after slop

we were forgiving years ago but thats slowly going downhill

[mortal grail]

Honestly if the poor game factory keeps pumping out like this then I probably won't invest in new hardware for a while

Lmao

[misty sparrow]

Future games wouldn’t even be able to run well even if you bought new hardware

[rancid juniper]

thats why we hoping for another crash

it really needs it

[paper verge]

someone should just start a youtube bot to read steam reviews lol

[misty sparrow]

gaming is probably too big for another crash to happen

[rancid juniper]

since... closed.... beta

developers learned nothing

[misty sparrow]

didnt simcity 2013 get backlash for doing this

It’s been 10 years, no one’s learned

[mortal grail]

How many months was that

[rancid juniper]

i believe it was like 4+ months ago

maybe 5

i knew it

[mortal grail]

First decent looking game in a while and they can't make enough servers for 50K concurrent

[rancid juniper]

its wild

[mortal grail]

These dudes need to strip the data harvesting parts of the server out

*Slaps tin foil hat on *

[rancid juniper]

lmfao rip

their discord server is on fire rn

[rancid juniper]

server is probably someone's pc

someone's 4070TI

[mortal grail]

Devbro working overtime hosting on his i3:

[rancid juniper]

look at that vram usage

[rancid juniper]

😂

[mortal grail]

LMAO

Ok

We know how this goes

Get a refund Frost

There's no hope here

[rancid juniper]

you know what's even funnier, the game is not fully launched yet... September 12th is about to be wild

[rancid juniper]

i didn't buy the game
