[sage sluice]

So ive ran into an issue

The cpu doesnt fit when i install it into the socket

As in it wont clamp

Its a ryzen 5 7600x and its supposed to be compatible with the asrock A620I is it not?

Im kinda paranoid now

[random osprey]

ye, did you line up the corner that had the triangle to the corner that had the triangle in the socket on the mobo

[sage sluice]

Yes i did

Its too tall

It fits in size but in girth it wont let me close the thing

Its an am5 board and cpu

Idk why im having issues 😭

And im scared ill mess up the pins toying with it

[random osprey]

should just fall in. if it it doesnt move around then its fine just have to clamp it

[sage sluice]

Thats the issue

I cant clamp it

Without crushing it

It sticks up high

[random osprey]

pic?

[sage sluice]

One sec

[random osprey]

its normal for it to feel like you need to use some force to clamp\

[velvet summit]

Looks fine

[sage sluice]

I heard noises i didnt like trying to shut it

Like crushing

[velvet summit]

Yes it will make creaking noises

This is normal

[sage sluice]

Thats fine?

Okay lol

[velvet summit]

Yes

[random osprey]

that plastic piece will also pop off

[sage sluice]

This is my first time building

[sage sluice]

That i know

Thank yall, i looked it up and got worried when i said might not be compatible

[velvet summit]

Yeah the cpu installation is usually the scariest part for new builders since you need to use a fair bit of force

[sage sluice]

Now that i know force is normal im good

Ive just heard pin bending horror stories

And dont wanna spend money i dont have

Now i can move onto thermals, appreciate the help 😭

[random osprey]

scariest parts of building a pc is putting in the cpu and trying to remove the 24 pin connector from the mobo

[sage sluice]

The fear comes from how much you spent lmao

[velvet summit]

Not even scary
Just a workout 😭

[random osprey]

eh depending on where you buy theyll be happy to take the return near no questions asked (amazon)

[sage sluice]

I go through amazon

Anywho, back to building ✨

[random osprey]

cross out bad word

[unreal trail]

nah

you dont seriously expect me to copy images with words you dont like into photo editing program just to cross them out and resave them

[misty sparrow]

I think you should also keep that plastic cover just in case

just saying

[tranquil pebble]

attaching AM4 coolers... I hated doing that

No other socket gave me as much grief as AM4 for the cooler mount.

[icy ore]

[tranquil pebble]

we all know this would destroy LTT

[misty sparrow]

don't get it

whos miku

that's why i didn't know, don't watch any

[sweet phoenix]

I don't even know what anime she's from lol

[random osprey]

[random osprey]

hatsune miku is a mascot character for the actual vocaloid program

[hexed hinge]

who can help me out in #building-and-recc-chat rn with finding a MB for a i7-12700K?

[topaz crown]

Hello @hexed hinge! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[sweet phoenix]

Do you already have any parts?

[light egret]

not scary until the port comes off with the 24 pin connector

[dusk knot]

Lolool

[velvet summit]

I haven't had that happen to me lmao

[light egret]

I had it happen once on a friends PC. Luckily we were replacing the cpu and mobo lol. We got the port off afterwards.

[velvet summit]

I wonder if it happens often

[light egret]

I don't think so. The port was wonky when I got to it. Like it was bending a lil back and forth with ease

[velvet summit]

Ah

[light egret]

Idk what was done to it beforehand but it was sketch lol

[misty sparrow]

Auto defaults to 480p video

I hope so
Or else there’s a stranger playing fo4 beside me rn

And the thing I attended last week was a dream or somethin then

[dusk knot]

“i hope so” lol. Where’s the ring?

[sinful blade]

Welp, we got me the wrong size, so in amazons hands atm

[dusk knot]

Aaaww

[light egret]

lol I got my wife's engagement/wedding ring from a pawn shop, took it to get sized and sized it to my finger cause I didn't know how to get her ring size without her figuring it out. It fit her perfectly 😅

[dusk knot]

[tranquil pebble]

and it gets even worse with 3d printers sometimes

[dusk knot]

😂

[dusk knot]

I’ve seen those go horribly wrong real quick on YouTube

[tranquil pebble]

now you can have printer malfunctions in a third dimension

[dusk knot]

One dimension too much

[light egret]

When I first got my 3D printer I was reading the manual to make sure I did it right. The instructions at the end just said, "make sure to use the knobs to level the bed." My dumb brain thought to level it by putting a level on the bed and making it level like, to gravity. I immediately destroyed my first print bed lol

[dusk knot]

Rip

How much money was lost?

[light egret]

eh the parts I had to replace was like $30 so not to bad 😂

[dusk knot]

Oh good

[light egret]

it just gouged the print bed and messed up the extruder a lil. But it came with extra extruders and the bed was cheap. Ender pro 3.

[dusk knot]

What a relief

Cheap and simple

[light egret]

yeah but it freaked me out lol

[dusk knot]

I would imagine

[light egret]

turns out youtube is better than manuals

[dusk knot]

In all buildings scenarios

[light egret]

but im still blaming the manufactorer for assuming I just knew what they meant by "level" when every other situation i've ever been in that required leveling, you use a level and not a piece of paper lol

[dusk knot]

Smh

L

I will learn from this when I get my own printer

Why I would want one is still up for questioning

[light egret]

cause they cool af

[dusk knot]

Besides that, I’ve always loved them since they first came out

[light egret]

although if you get a resin printer, mask up and glove up. Like a good mask. And clean your pieces and then put them in a curing chamber to cure them. Don't play with them without fully curing them first. Resin is toxic and people are way to casual with the resin printers.

[dusk knot]

Oh

[light egret]

You would likely be fine, but it's still toxic and not everyone fully cures it before playing with it

[dusk knot]

Never knew that. Resin is what i would go for because of the print resolution

Curing chamber….hows that?

[light egret]

I want a resin printer lol I just don't have room atm

something like this. You can look up UV curing chamber or curing box or something like that

[dusk knot]

Hhhuuh

[light egret]

when you print with resin, you're supposed to put it in a supersonic cleaner and then put it in a curing chamber

the printer does not clean or fully cure the objects

[dusk knot]

So you’re telling me I need 3 separate devices.

E

[light egret]

you also need an area that's well ventilated

[dusk knot]

I thought you just printed, broke it off from the mold, and done

[dusk knot]

Good ac circulation?

[light egret]

resin printers are way more complex and require a lot more cleaning, maintenence, handling and care

preferably real ventilation

[dusk knot]

Hm

[light egret]

watch lots of youtube on it and look for people doing it in a more safe manor lol

[dusk knot]

Wow. Ok

There is bad influence out there after all

[light egret]

if you want easy and simple, get an FDM printer and sand it lol

but even then you want a mask, and if you're doing tiny prints like minis, sanding is likely to break it too

then again so is removing supports, from both resin and FDM

[dusk knot]

E

What a chore

[north crescent]

Go lazy way with ASA/ABS, "paint" some acetone on it, then vapour acetone smooth it

[light egret]

That sounds like it would not work out to well, but that also adds back in the fumes issue lol

[north crescent]

Sanding is also pretty funni to humans

So eh

Basically any way leads to funni human problems when handled without care

[light egret]

thats fair but if I was sanding I'd just wear a basic like covid mask. I usually don't sand my products tho lol

[north crescent]

Need a proper mask, basic masks dont do anything afaik

[opaque sedge]

I keep seeing those gigantic sticks of lexar ddr5 memory thats black with gold accents online, wondering if they’re actually very good or people are just using them cuz “aesthetics”

[sage sluice]

So i got her turned on, do i just wait until it pops up on my screen?

I have everything connected and idk if i just wait until it pops up on my monitor or what lol

[opaque sedge]

Am5?

[sage sluice]

Yessir

Using integrated atm

Im new to pc building as a whole

[opaque sedge]

For mine it cycled thru the mobo troubleshoot lights and then my monitor got a signal

After they turned off ofc

[sage sluice]

Its been sitting on the front fans spinning and my cpu cooler lights on but not spinning for about 5-10 mins now

I only pressed the bios switch on the mobo

[opaque sedge]

Your cpu fans not spinning?

Strange

[sage sluice]

Not at all

[opaque sedge]

That was unnecessary

[opaque sedge]

Did you plug the header into cpu fan?

[sage sluice]

It was what made everything light up

[sage sluice]

I thought i did

Lemme check

[opaque sedge]

Be careful not to touch anything when running

[sage sluice]

I turned it off before looking

Both cables on the cooler are plugged in

[wary fjord]

https://wccftech.com/all-iphone-16-models-feature-8gb-ram/

😂

[gilded kraken]

Im gonna buy a 9800x3d and a 5080

so I can be extra pro

[rancid juniper]

[misty sparrow]

Heard a rumor that it won't have a disc drive

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

[rancid juniper]

aint that going to be optional tho?

[tranquil pebble]

I might if the price is 1. not insane, and 2. it has a disc drive

[rancid juniper]

like they will sell it as separate

[misty sparrow]

for a pro model it shouldn't be optional

you shouldn't have to pay more

[rancid juniper]

i get that

[dusk knot]

I sleep

[rancid juniper]

better hope that its $600

[misty sparrow]

i don't care about PS5 games much since there's not a lot of good games this generation

[dusk knot]

[misty sparrow]

but i do have a backlog of PS4 games

on disc

[opaque sedge]

Man i’m half expecting people to not be very hype about it cuz many casual gamers were scouring the world to get these next gen consoles during the scalperpocalypse, they’re prolly gonna be like : “i’m tired boss “

[tranquil pebble]

too real

[rancid juniper]

tbh i dont think scalpers will be much of issue since the ps5 has very few games

[opaque sedge]

I kinda wanna try out astrobot reminds me of the games i wanted to play as a kid but couldn’t

[misty sparrow]

it is basically a continuation of astros playroom and that was a fun packin game

so astro bot should be really good

Xbox about to pull a sega if they dont clutch up

☠️

[opaque sedge]

Already have

[rancid juniper]

ah rip

[opaque sedge]

Probably

I mean they’re readily making their exclusives available to pc

They’re pretty much sega at this point

Sega looks like took the L and conceded to making games for other consoles

Xbox for pcs

[tranquil pebble]

Except Sega doesnt shut down good studios left and right

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[light egret]

I think xbox is still cruisin with the success of xbox gamepass

[opaque sedge]

Oh i thought we were talking bout the console

[rancid juniper]

i dont think i remember a studio shut down by sega

however i do know one recent game that has

[light egret]

yeh but i mean their sales aren't hurt cause they make it up in other areas

[rancid juniper]

anybody wants to take a guess?

[opaque sedge]

Whats the most recent sega game?

[light egret]

is it sanic

[opaque sedge]

Hint?

[ancient swift]

Xbox will more than likely remain as a platform.

Wouldnt be surprised if they attempt to pull a "Steam Machine" and open Xbox up to 3rd party manufacturers

[rancid juniper]

One word, animal name

[opaque sedge]

I would like to ask the audience

[rancid juniper]

lol

[opaque sedge]

Phone a friend is unavailable

[light egret]

don't tell me it's monkey ball

[opaque sedge]

Cuz i got no frens

[rancid juniper]

its an fps game cancelled before launch

[opaque sedge]

Concord?

[ancient swift]

Survived 2 weeks

[opaque sedge]

Wait that was out for a bit i believe

[rancid juniper]

last hint: an animal known for laughing

[light egret]

I googled it and I never would have guessed it

[rancid juniper]

😂

[light egret]

never heard of it before

[opaque sedge]

Kokaburra?

[rancid juniper]

this bruh

[opaque sedge]

Bruh

[rancid juniper]

This game got shut down the day before launch

[light egret]

prob shouldve been sanic instead

[rancid juniper]

Sega put money into this game but realized its not viable for the current market, so they pulled

who knows, this might be sega's version of concord when you actually think about it

👀

[opaque sedge]

Holy hell this sounds awesome

Maybe im just uncultured

[misty sparrow]

[rancid juniper]

auto L

[opaque sedge]

I can see what they meant by low profitability considering other crap people would rather play but this looks genuinely fun and interesting

[rancid juniper]

honestly if it was any other publisher they would release it

im surprised sega despite putting so much money in it cancelled its release

[opaque sedge]

Maybe they didn’t want to bother with constantly updating it?

[unreal trail]

A psychopath, lawyer and priest walks into a bar "one beer please"

[rancid juniper]

6 Years of development
100M+ of funding

This is literally concord of last year

What

the

heck

[opaque sedge]

Sega does one time releases better right?

[opaque sedge]

I can tell a better story than that

[rancid juniper]

no, they have seen the saturated market and looked at their game for one second, realized its not good enough

[misty sparrow]

"Hyenas" doesn't sound like a good title though

[opaque sedge]

There were two brothers who were seeking wisdom

[rancid juniper]

Honestly despite that 100M+ cancellation, the studio behind it (creative assembly) is still around

[opaque sedge]

In search of wisdom and to be free from distraction they wandered off into a forest in order to meditate and not be distracted by worldly desires

[rancid juniper]

so yea it proves that despite failures sega doesn't really shut down the studio

big plus

[nocturne flicker]

It's because CA does Total War

[opaque sedge]

Alas after many a day the wisdom did not come to both

[nocturne flicker]

They don't want to lose TW

[rancid juniper]

ahhh, i heard its a popular IP

[opaque sedge]

Atleast the wisdom they desired

[nocturne flicker]

But don't worry, TW has been trash for years

[rancid juniper]

lmfao

[opaque sedge]

On a forest stroll the brothers were met with a cry of help by a woman a beautiful woman across a river with raging flow of water

[opaque sedge]

The eldest quickly helped the woman get across by holding her

[nocturne flicker]

Their latest one had to have all the dlcs turned into freebies that would be added via updates over time and they cut the price because the response to it was so poor

[opaque sedge]

The younger brother seeing this grew anxious and was visibly perturbed even after they had bid farewell to the woman

[opaque sedge]

And so he asked his brother as to why he held that woman when they had sworn to not give into worldly desires

[nocturne flicker]

Because TW Pharaoh was basically Total War Troy but more historical and with a lot less content

[opaque sedge]

The brother replied, “i have already let go of the woman but it is in fact you who is still holding her in your mind”

Basically saying it was the younger brother who was more obsessed

Now yall take a guess where this story is from

(Hint in just over a week a bunch of pc gamers will get to hear it in a voiceline in a highly anticipated game)

Yes

We got till December

[rancid juniper]

remember how performance heavy the game was?

UE5 ah title

hopefully they've done some optimization but i wont hold my breath till then

[deep parcel]

kinda sad it was canceled. It would have definitely been more popular than concord

[rancid juniper]

i mean, it probably would but sales wouldn't fly

[storm narwhal]

I doubt it but we'll see

yeah true

[rancid juniper]

i keep my expectations low

its the devs fault xD

eu itself is fine

but dev are lazy

all the tech inside eu5 is impressive ngl.. specially meta humans

[lone mango]

Yeah but my schizo theory is its accessibility facilitates it

[north crescent]

Kinda. UE5 really focused on the raytracing mindset, which is cutting game dev time at the cost of optimization. Some of the older optimized methods are being killed off or are buried under all the new unoptimized stuff (devs have a harder time learning/knowing about it).

[proud jackal]

?

[ancient swift]

Seeing people whine you can't swim in Star Wars Outlaws lol. Like you don't have to make up complaints about how bad it is.

Then they get mad when people point out you can't swim in Elden Ring or Baldurs Gate 3.

Will usually be like, but in none of their games before you could swim so it's different (obviously forgetting sekiro has swimming)

[sweet phoenix]

Thought you meant this dude lol

[ancient swift]

But then also thinking the studio that made SWO is the same studio that made far cry or assassin's creed? When you couldn't swim in Massive Entertainments previous games either I'm pretty sure.

Nah

Just people spamming complaints about star wars outlaws online for easy Internet points.

Introducing the iPhone 16, another expensive phone with the same design and new features that probably existed 5 years ago

[fervent stump]

Nope 😢

[fervent stump]

Don’t worry I’m not getting the 16

[storm narwhal]

Wonderful

(It is not)

[rancid juniper]

Ok

[fervent stump]

I also used 18 beta

[storm narwhal]

I can see that

[fervent stump]

I can open Siri by double tapping the line at the bottom 😭

[storm narwhal]

"It'll never happen to me"

Uh, yes it will

[fervent stump]

How?

[storm narwhal]

Just usually when you least expect it and at generally the worst of times

[fervent stump]

Like everything will just disappear?

[storm narwhal]

Data corruption

Some unidentified bug kills your data maybe

[elfin mural]

the lack of fingerprint scanner will always annoy me

i got spoiled by optical under-display fingerprint scanner

[rancid juniper]

iPhone doesn't have a fingerprint scanner?

[fervent stump]

What if I want the newest update? But I don’t want that to happen

[elfin mural]

yeah, the never did since iphone x

[rancid juniper]

What da heck?

[elfin mural]

face id only

[storm narwhal]

Your phone literally physically dies after you shake it becuase of some freak accident

[elfin mural]

or passcode, but ye

[fervent stump]

If it doesn’t have a home button then no

[rancid juniper]

At least have fingerprint as optional

[storm narwhal]

Your phone gets stuck in a bootloop and never turns on again

No matter what you do

[fervent stump]

Wdym?

[storm narwhal]

(Back your damn phone up)

[rancid juniper]

You don't need a home button for fingerprint, you can use the screen or even the powerbutton

[storm narwhal]

That's the moral of the story

[fervent stump]

I don’t have enough storage in I cloud

[rancid juniper]

My phone's power button has a fingerprint scanner ._.

[storm narwhal]

Bruh

Back up on your PC

[fervent stump]

Wait how do I do that?

[storm narwhal]

iTunes?

[fervent stump]

I don’t have a mac

[storm narwhal]

I figured most apple users have used iTunes at some point

And plugged in their phone

To their computer

You don't need a Mac for iTunes

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[fervent stump]

iTunes isn’t that for music

[storm narwhal]

What do you think?

[fervent stump]

Yes

[storm narwhal]

In this context?

Of backing up your phone on your computer

Well, it also lets you do that

And download TV shows from iTunes

[storm narwhal]

Which I don't know anyone who's ever done that lol

Sure Microsoft version is fine

I just try to never use Microsoft store lol

Personal thing

[fervent stump]

How do I back up my phone with this?

[storm narwhal]

See

One sec

[fervent stump]

Oh why did it send two lol

They should be the same steps

[fervent stump]

Thank you let me look at this

[storm narwhal]

You won't regret doing backups when one unfortunate day your phone dies or you lose it or it falls into a river

[unreal trail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na7pvihXhYs

[fervent stump]

Yea I get it how long does it take to back up

[fervent stump]

I don’t see a iPhone button?

[opaque sedge]

How do u guys think amd will get more market share for gaming gpus for mid range cards like they hope to do?

[fervent stump]

It will be more budget friendly and more fps for the price I think

[opaque sedge]

This fr my phone’s charging port is messed up and ran out of charge yesterday when i was out, was a nightmare cuz my mom asked me to pick her up from work and I didn’t know the way, was lost trying to look for best buy and since the charging port was gonked had to get that overpriced fancy magsafe charger

[velvet summit]

It already is technically

[opaque sedge]

I think there is one answer only

What their main concern seems to be is devs preferring nvidia over them

[fervent stump]

What is to?

[opaque sedge]

So what they need to do is first work on something they are already good at

Mobile graphics

Ryzen z1 chips

Handhelds will probably become popular and once their mobile graphics become the norm they can use similar architecture for desktop hardware

And devs will slowly start to prefer them

[velvet summit]

One thing amd needs to do better is to have a proven track record of good drivers because most people don't want AMD because of the drivers being nowhere near perfect, especially when it comes to VR

[fervent stump]

Nvm I’m cooking

[opaque sedge]

Oh vr seems to suck butt

But for the 7000 series there barely seems to be any driver issues lately

[fervent stump]

I want nvida too because I love vr

[opaque sedge]

All my drivers have been settling in nicely each update

[rancid juniper]

Don't know what goes on with VR but I'd honestly take the drivers we got now instead of the past

They do need to improve some things tho

[velvet summit]

Yeah amd def is better now than several years ago

[opaque sedge]

6000 series and older seems to be having some issues here and there tho apparently

Like artifacting in certain games in the last update

[velvet summit]

But because of past history, many people even though they have been informed that recent drivers are good, still don't want AMD because of it

[rancid juniper]

I'd rather pay an overpriced brick than to try an AMD card

[velvet summit]

Meta still doesn't officially support RX7000

[rancid juniper]

They can always return it y'know

[rancid juniper]

Cringe

[opaque sedge]

For the quest?

[velvet summit]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

F u alien lizard

[velvet summit]

And it's not an old discontinued article either

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-mark-zuckerberg-sips-water-drinking-water-gif-11840753

[fervent stump]

Guys how do I know if my back up worked

[rancid juniper]

The zucc didn't like that

[velvet summit]

It was updated recently

But still had no 7000 series on the support list

[fervent stump]

^^

[opaque sedge]

There should be a file on the left labeling your phone name

[fervent stump]

Oh then I have to try and backing it up again I don’t think it worked

[opaque sedge]

Man my phone’s charging port is messed up and battery’s been heating up hard too was hoping to get the base iphone this year what a disappointment that ended up

Its a damn 60hz panel

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-gif-27224532

Too broke for the pro

[velvet summit]

Me using my pixel 8 on 60hz only to get the maximum batt life:

I disabled 120hz

[opaque sedge]

Was hoping to trade my current phone

[velvet summit]

Lmfao

[fervent stump]

I went from a base 12 to the 15 pro max and screen wise there wasn’t much of a difference besides the size and probably quality

[misty sparrow]

Most people probably don’t even need the Pro

[opaque sedge]

Yup

Hmm maybe i should just get the base if i get the chance to trade my phone in with my carrier

I mean my screentime is mostly gonna be on my pc and laptop anyways

[misty sparrow]

Next one I’m getting is just going to be prepaid Android

Don’t use these things a lot anyway

[opaque sedge]

Phones prolly gonna be an hour or 2 at most

A day

[fervent stump]

Yea makes sense

[fervent stump]

I like the bigger screen and the camera layout 😭

[misty sparrow]

Are you really going to be taking that much pictures

[fervent stump]

I have 27k pictures

Nvm I have more

[opaque sedge]

Pathetic

Do better

[fervent stump]

😭

I need 512 gb

[opaque sedge]

Ya dont

Trust me

[fervent stump]

Why

[opaque sedge]

It turns you complacent

[fervent stump]

Wdym

[opaque sedge]

And you become stuck in the loop of wanting more from your purchases

[unreal trail]

[opaque sedge]

Which is extremely unfavorable to me considering my current situation

[fervent stump]

Yea I understand

I also am delusional sometimes

[opaque sedge]

Eh pretty normal

Just dont take the delusions too far

[velvet summit]

i need 256gb though

[fervent stump]

I wanted the 17 pro max with 512 gb

I don’t like the 16

[velvet summit]

128 is cutting it close for me 💀

[opaque sedge]

Ok i agree on the fact that bare minimums may exist

[fervent stump]

That was not enough for me

[fervent stump]

My 12 had that and it was ALWAYS FULL

[wicked oriole]

Is this worth?

[fervent stump]

I think so but ask others too what if it’s a scam like you don’t get everything they said

[velvet summit]

if it's real, it's worth it
it could potentially be a scam though because that whole build costs about as much as a 4090 new

[fervent stump]

Can I see picture of the build

[sinful blade]

L

[fervent stump]

😭

[wicked oriole]

Yeah I know the 4090 is dummy expensive, but this is my price range for the pc I wanted. Only thing it's missing is the 7800x3d 🥲

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-god-willy-rothbart-hoops-who-are-you-is-that-you-god-gif-18731833

[fervent stump]

Build your own pc then

[wicked oriole]

I'd much rather get this and do a cpu swap lol

[fervent stump]

I have a build in my about me that I wanted for myself it has a 7800x3d and 4080s

[opaque sedge]

Budget of 2500 is probably a must for a 4090

[fervent stump]

Yea makes sense but it will be expensive

[wicked oriole]

Yeah, that's the build I was going for

[opaque sedge]

Man i kind of want that case

[wicked oriole]

Just the price of a cpu and thermal paste lol

[sinful blade]

I don’t use much
My next upgrade is gonna be the 16 pro max
Tired of having such a small phone with my big ass hands

[opaque sedge]

But 903 air for life

[fervent stump]

Looks nice you should get it but if it was for me I’d rather make my own with the 4080s

[sinful blade]

I’m on an 11 pro

[opaque sedge]

Right roomba?

Say it with me

[sinful blade]

Real

[opaque sedge]

903 air for life

[fervent stump]

Yea I’d say wait till Black Friday maybe to get the cpu for it to be cheaper

[wicked oriole]

Yeah, I may do that. The 5 minutes I got from call of duty was enough to get me hooked. It was solid until it wasn't

[fervent stump]

@wicked oriole I have a very specific look that I’m trying to go for so I’d rather just make my own

[wicked oriole]

That's fair, I really want a hyte case build but that's a pricey case lol

[sinful blade]

Oh shiz

[opaque sedge]

I would honestly just grab a 7800x3d once its get below 400 or 380 rn tbh if you can ofc

[sinful blade]

I might get my money near Black Friday

So maybe I can build with big boi savings

[opaque sedge]

Amd is pulling a nvidia 30 series with x3d rn

[wicked oriole]

I really wanna wait til black Friday but I also have 0 patience lol

[fervent stump]

I’m going to get my pc and stuff at Christmas since I can get somethings for free too so prices will change by then

[wicked oriole]

And i want to play games on a computer so bad. So much freedom

[opaque sedge]

Let me make small adjustments to your list when that time comes too ok? (Ofc with supervision from felix and bacca)

[opaque sedge]

Its def fun af

[fervent stump]

Wait….. I may get the strix 4080s

It’s 1289

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/nicolas-cage-nic-cage-uh-yeahstare-dead-inside-okay-gif-15438773

[wicked oriole]

I wanna play cyberpunk so bad. I'm still scared to load it on my ps5. My ps4 pro wasn't the move for that at the time lmao. Pretty sure the 5 could handle it

[fervent stump]

It fits my build perfectly

[opaque sedge]

Just get a refurb 4090 at that point

[wicked oriole]

Is it like a looter shooter?

[fervent stump]

Won’t be the way I want it

[opaque sedge]

First person sci fi gta basically

[fervent stump]

I want a white gpu and if it has rgb even better

[wicked oriole]

Gotcha, it looked fun, I just wanted a grindy game like borderlands. Oddly enough minecraft has been filling that void for me

[opaque sedge]

But has a more diverse combat system and a magic system too

[fervent stump]

I edited the gpu in my about me to the gigabyte 4080s since that’s the look I want

[wicked oriole]

And I'd love to play bl4 on a pc when it releases. Def will be a preorder... I just hope it doesn't go the route wonderlands did. Such a disappointment

[fervent stump]

If its refurbished wouldn’t it be worse

[sinful blade]

Do not preorder anything anymore

Wait for gameplay

Wait for reviews

[opaque sedge]

Lots of different builds and play styles too, can go hack and slash with time slowing or invincibility mechanisms or go stealth with magic or time slowing or invincibility or stealth

[wicked oriole]

Gearbox is the one company where it's not my money I was just simply holding it for them lol

But tbh wonderlands did really shoot that in the foot

[opaque sedge]

Or grab and assault rifle or shotgun and gun everything down

Basically doom

[fervent stump]

NO THE BACKUP FAILED it was like 50% 😭

[opaque sedge]

(I haven’t played doom)

[misty sparrow]

I thought a 4090 was starting at $1600

[fervent stump]

I think they are

[sinful blade]

@wicked oriole I don’t even preorder destiny

[opaque sedge]

Its a rough life out there without well to do and secure parents to give you an environment where you work hard to level up till you can earn yourself a good living

https://youtube.com/shorts/ppqoSVAm0aI?si=eLjd97v2ceulaoNN

[wicked oriole]

Damn lol I wanted to try to get into that, but I couldn't imagine doing a whole raid for 30+ minutes for a dookie roll. I'd die

[opaque sedge]

I kind of regret spending 1.5k on a pc now ngl

[wicked oriole]

I'd die to find an OBS chevy for 1k lol

[opaque sedge]

But if I didn’t I probably wouldn’t even get a chance to use one for more than half a decade

[opaque sedge]

Man idk life for young aspiring struggling adults sounds a lot better 10-15 years ago than now ngl

[wicked oriole]

It was that or a clapped out civic. You did the right thing lmao

[wicked oriole]

More chance. 10 years ago I was 18, if I would've started out where I'm at now life would be amazing, however I didn't do that until 5 years ago. If you're young don't trip on stuff or try to reach for the past. Realize the future is tomorrow and there are new prospects and dreams to achieve

[opaque sedge]

Lol the used civics in my area go for no less than 7k lol

[wicked oriole]

No shot if you told me 10 years ago I could get food delivered to my door would I have believed you outside of pizza places lol

[opaque sedge]

Abd its for the crappy early 2000s on top

[opaque sedge]

I’m a broke 20 year old and there’s a good chance i’ll end up homeless with no skills that could earn me living if i keep trying to pursue an education and a job within the next seven years

[wicked oriole]

Yeah that's a big fat no from me lol. I'm also not a big jdm fan.

[opaque sedge]

Everyday is getting worse

My parents stubbornly decided to live in an hcol while making less than 40k a year

So now my options for colleges are stuck in this expensive state

[wicked oriole]

Oh yeah you're that guy. Hey like I said man, manual labor is always an option. Pay is decent. Do it while you're young so you can get experience to move up. Trade jobs like welding, electrical and plumbing are ALWAYS gonna be needed

[opaque sedge]

Had they moved to a state where their income could somewhat support us while i was still in high school i could have had better options

[wicked oriole]

If I could go back in time and quit using drugs when I was younger I would've gotten into electrical/welding for sure. Maybe plumbing

[opaque sedge]

I urged them to move to Pennsylvania when i was a junior in high school but no they didn’t want to wanna know why

Cuz there are more family members or friends there apparently

[wicked oriole]

Plus trade school is like 4k tops. Heck nowadays with how labor is you could sign an apprenticeship, get the ball rolling with training, get into journeyman then work your way up

[opaque sedge]

I’m honestly thinking electrical too rn my home environment is getting worse and I can’t risk losing 7 years of time and effort to get nothing done in the end

The more i wait the older and less able to learn i will become and the world isn’t going to wait for me, expenses will rise things will get expensive i might get locked out of owning property for life

[wicked oriole]

Electrical pays bank. Scary job tho. If you don't have much friends/family or literally wanna run away, now is the time to do it for something like that. After like 8 years you become master Electrician and that's when the bookoo bucks come rolling in

[wicked oriole]

Yup lock her in now. You got time. Figure it out by 30 atleast.

[wicked oriole]

Then you save up from this, get your contracting license and oh boy you're in a bid war for being the cheapest but everyone is calling you for jobs

[opaque sedge]

Idk man i’m just jealous of all my friends back from high school they all had secure lives and were able to go to their desired schools without much stress

My home its a mess

Dad gets drunk often

Fights all the time

Mom is delusional

[wicked oriole]

Everyone has a different path to life. I promise you a trade route will be much cheaper schooling wise because cost is like 4/5k. They will have 80k student loans to payback for a majority of life while you rake it in. Food for thought

[wicked oriole]

Run away then. I ran off on my own when I was 20. I still don't know how I did it but I figured it out. I make like 70k a year now. 0 college.

[opaque sedge]

Its funny cuz the reason why they decided to live in this expensive area was because of family members and relatives but they aren’t doing crap in their time of need

Northern Virginia god i hate it here

Rich people haven

[opaque sedge]

That’s the most reassuring thing i have heard all week

Thanks man

[wicked oriole]

Well my mom moved away when I was 20. I had a bunch of friends at the time and worked at target (making like 12 am hour lmao) so I decided to stay. Found a clapped out little studio apartment for 250 a month. Then I messed up, lost all my friends and got fired from target. Worked in a call center after that, absolutely hated it. Got fired from there. Then I went to manual labor. Landed a job at a company called altec and have been there since. I've moved up in the pay scale and I do make a decent amount now. It has been a grind, but when you're on your own you either sack up and figure it out, or lay down and let life beat you up. Don't let life beat you up. Believe in yourself when no one else does and you have no one to turn to

[opaque sedge]

Damn ngl dude you got pretty damn lucky

In this day and age i’m most likely gonna end up homeless

The cheapest studio apartment here is no less than 1.5k a month

And i dont have the credit nor income to get approved

[wicked oriole]

Not even. I just believed in myself and got into manual labor when I realized that kind of work is a different ball game but my job is secured. During covid I had 0 fear or losing my job or being laid off.

[opaque sedge]

Yeah the important part is having a place to live in and be able to level up

Essentially the hibernating period

That’s the important part and the one I’m currently missing

[wicked oriole]

Rent is disgusting now a days so I do understand where you're coming from. My apartment building was full of crackheads tho lol. Also location. I live in Midwest Missouri. No one wants to be here unless you're in KC or st Louis so living is fairly on the cheaper side. Location location location

[opaque sedge]

Wage for work in target or the like is like 13-14 an hour today

Nearly not enough

[wicked oriole]

Any manual labor job will start you out at like 16-18+

[opaque sedge]

Taxes they take is cherry on top

Like what are they gonna do by taking 50 bucks out of my pathetic paycheck

[wicked oriole]

My yearly taxes are disgusting now. Take out 12k between federal and state and I maybe see $300 back. It's lovely

[opaque sedge]

America

[wicked oriole]

Land of the free am I right?

[opaque sedge]

I’m an immigrant and people from my home country who dreamed of living here would be disappointed lol

I kind of wish i had citizenship tho, cuz then i would have been eligible for rotc

Be able to study and have living expenses all paid out?

Sounds insane

[wicked oriole]

I've always wondered what people like that thought (no offense) just genuinely curious on an outsiders look into living here

[opaque sedge]

From my own personal experience its not the land itself and the like but they believe they’re gonna have better earning potential and opportunities here, and they’re also attracted by consumerism for example the pc i built here not many back there can get hardware so easily

They’re gonna go crazy when they find out to have better earning potential in life no matter where you are you’re still gonna need rich (I consider parents with secure finances and living situation settled rich) to be able to become skilled enough during the hibernation period to earn such money

[opaque sedge]

One more example is current gen gaming consoles are just not available there

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-coffee-bocchi-the-rock-bocchi-bocchi-the-rock-gif-bocchi-funny-gif-27325558

another day another penny

[opaque sedge]

Idk if they are rn cuz its been a little over half a decade since i’ve moved from there

Is this actually gonna be a thing?

They didn’t even let ddr5 take over

[velvet summit]

i hope it becomes a thing

[wary fjord]

+1 for this

it only takes 1 screw toinstall it xD

wait thats on laptop version i think xD

i hate when screws corrodes tho

best to paint the screw to avoid it

[opaque sedge]

With what substance? I’m curious

[wary fjord]

no idea xD sometimes i dint notice the screwdriver im using has a bit rust on it.. then that rust spread on top of the screw.. but its fine on those painted ones.

[wicked oriole]

Also that 4090 pc I posted earlier seems to be from a reputable seller.... do I go that route instead, or get a 7800x3d 4080s build.

[opaque sedge]

Wait so its used?

You have a microcenter near you?

[wicked oriole]

I'm honestly not sure. The guy has a lot of pcs on there

[opaque sedge]

If its used then you aren’t going be able to rma any parts in the event of failure

Big risk for a 2.5k hardware

[wicked oriole]

Yeah. I'm gonna go that route cause I don't wanna roll the dice on a pc build from fb marketplace. Sounds like a headache

[opaque sedge]

Either buy from a rebutable pre built company or built the pc yourself

[wicked oriole]

Only reason I looked was cause it popped up on my fb marketplace lol

[opaque sedge]

Plenty of folks here will help you

I built my pc with help from guys here

[opaque sedge]

Its tempting for sure

I wanted to get a prebuilt initially too cuz the process seemed so daunting

[misty sparrow]

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

[sweet phoenix]

Kinda meh

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VJPpyg

[wicked oriole]

No taxes tho lol but atleast it's worth the price

[proud jackal]

https://youtu.be/LAU3A31F1G4?si=90yXaRLgznjnqKa2

$700

[unreal trail]

aint no way bruh

[worthy tapir]

Hmmm I'd take a $700 7900xt over a ps5 pro

[unreal trail]

better be a 3TB HDD in that

[misty sparrow]

It has 2TB SSD

[unreal trail]

kek

[misty sparrow]

They really did learn nothing from ps3 days

now that MS is goin bad

[sinful blade]

10% higher mhz on its cpu

And 1 tb more storage

Woo, $600

[unreal trail]

PS Brand SSR

[sweet phoenix]

it honestly isn't

[sweet phoenix]

this is all new, better in multiple areas, and isn't that much more

replace that 4090 with a used 4090

and cpu with a used 7800x3d

[unreal trail]

looks like I'm gonna be getting Switch 2

[sweet phoenix]

and you have a cheaper build that the fbm post that's better

[unreal trail]

cuz PS5Pro aint it

[misty sparrow]

It never was it

Even if it had a cheaper price it’s still not worth it

[sweet phoenix]

i think zotac has an open box 4090 for $1530 or something like that too

[unreal trail]

I could easily build a PC better than my current one with 700 dollars

[wicked oriole]

That's fair. I'll consider it, but 4090 is a bit out of touch for my price range. I'm not seeing the worth in $700 difference for a 20%(?) Gain over the 4080s. I haven't compared benchmarks, but I do know the 4090 has larger vram, so I'm assuming that's where it's looked at most?

[sweet phoenix]

4090 really is overpriced

30% difference

[wicked oriole]

Still trying to figure out the gpu price to ratio

[sweet phoenix]

but not anywhere near $700 worth

[sweet phoenix]

4070 super and 4080 super are the only two nvidia gpus i actually suggest

only two that are decently competitive from a value stand point

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if you can build a PC better or around the specs of a PS5 Pro with a budget of $700

[unreal trail]

probably

[wicked oriole]

The small amount of time I had with mine I did feel like the 4080s would be bare minimum 2 years of solid experience with 0 disappointment for price paid

[sweet phoenix]

idk when we got to the point of where it's "high end or bust"

[wicked oriole]

It was just a bad build. Cheap mb, psu and aio cooling system

[sweet phoenix]

i feel like most people had fairly mid range pcs up until 20-30 series ish

[wicked oriole]

I'm new to pc, I'm only looking at newer stuff because I wasn't around for covid pricing. That alone made me meh. I liked my consoles up until recently where I've decided I want more from gaming

[unreal trail]

I bet Sony is about to offer an external disc drive for 100 dollars

[sweet phoenix]

ps5/xbox series x both about match a 4060

4070 super is like 50% better? 60%?

[wicked oriole]

That's actually insane

[sweet phoenix]

ps5 is about equal to a 2070 super for graphics comparison

not sure about cpu comparison

[wicked oriole]

I will say the 4080s looked completely different than the Playstation. That made it seem like it was 100% worth it lol

[mighty hazel]

30 series most people got high end cards like 3070 and above. 3080s were most popular for some reason

[sweet phoenix]

4080 super is only what, 25% better than 4070 super?

[mighty hazel]

Had best value I guess

[sweet phoenix]

i think it might be the existence of an xx90 card

1070 was super popular, 2070 super was super popular, both were one tier below the flagship

[fervent stump]

Guys the new Siri animation is so cool with iOS 18.1

[mighty hazel]

For 20 series barely anyone got the high end cause 1200 is “too much” for an 80 ti card and they just got 1080 tis

[misty sparrow]

No, you can put a disc drive in the ps5 pro

[sweet phoenix]

but now i feel like 3080/4080 super have been the most sought after

[misty sparrow]

So with the disc drive it is actually $800

[sweet phoenix]

i wish we had a card like the 3060 ti this gen in terms of value

$400 and almost matched the best card of last gen

now it's $600 to slightly lose to the 3090 lmao

[misty sparrow]

I wish these GPUs were just better priced

[sweet phoenix]

this gen was horrible from a value standpoint

7600, 7900 gre, and 7900xtx on it's best sales have been ok

but this gen compared to last price/perf is horrid

[grand kernel]

what do you mean? 4060ti 16gb is a value champ you get 16gb totally not choked by 0 bit bus

[mighty hazel]

Yeah it’s easier to make a 400$ gpu that had the same performance as a 700$ one.
Making a 400$ card that beats 1500$ cards is kind of like a robbery for them

[misty sparrow]

They made a 16GB version?

[sweet phoenix]

what's absolutly hilarious is a 3060 ti at $400 matching 2080 super, and then 4060 ti at $500 still losing to the 2080 ti

[sinful blade]

2080ti still the KING

[misty sparrow]

This is still accurate in 2024 and it’s criminal

[fervent stump]

I’m so obsessed with the new Siri animation

[wicked oriole]

Where the gpus that expensive in covid?

[misty sparrow]

with the semiconductor shortage I guess so

[sweet phoenix]

a 3060 ti was i think $1300 at one point

3060s i think peaked around 900-1000

3070s maybe 1500?

idk bout the rest

[wicked oriole]

That's crazy lol

[sweet phoenix]

yeah absolutely insane

i bought a pre built dec 2020 with a 3060 ti for $1200

although i then had to replace everything, overpaid for parts at a local pc shop, and then had to replace some again

[wicked oriole]

Rip

That's kind of why I want a decent build, but im realizing unless I hold all the parts in my hand it's not gonna be it

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/66KZVW

[sweet phoenix]

? Wdym

[wicked oriole]

Which I get trying to make $ but why not just put a fee on labor instead of trying for cheap parts

[wicked oriole]

On pre builds

[sweet phoenix]

I also mined on the gpu and made a bit over $1000 back

[sweet phoenix]

Ah alr

Yeah I'd just pay someone local to build it if you're completely against building

[wicked oriole]

I'd just hate putting the operating system on lol

I think I could actually piece it together. I'm like 100% confident I could build the thing. Software part will not be my specialty unless I get my hand held lmao

It almost seems like it's like car stereos/what I do at work with being a bit more careful and just doing it 🤣 but software will always confuse me lol

[misty sparrow]

Did people mine on 3070s and above

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/AdEBSx--XSc?si=QDJOIPNNhcUbTD7V

[dusk knot]

Very bad

[worthy tapir]

Yikes

[dusk knot]

Well it’s not like like us pc gamers pay any less

[silver sparrow]

Oh boy do i ever just have 700$ burning a hole in my pocket

[worthy tapir]

7900xt calling your name

[silver sparrow]

Already have the 7900xtx, don't need the xt

[worthy tapir]

9950x3d calling your name 😂

[silver sparrow]

The 5800x3d has been, but i think I've made up my mind on what i want to do when i upgrade

Current mobo ram cpu settup will become powered by my old 750watt psu, and become a server pc, just need to figure out what case I'll do for it when that time comes

[sweet phoenix]

Yes

All of 30 series was very efficient for mining

[worthy tapir]

I used to mine on my 5700xt . Good times

[sweet phoenix]

The best mining cards were 5700xt, 3060 ti, 1660 super with hynix vram, 8gb RX cards, and then all of 30 series

3080 did like 100mh/s idk what wattage

3060 ti 60-61 at 120w, 5700xt 58 at 90w iirc?

Higher 20 series was also pretty decent for mining

[mighty hazel]

Miners 2022- now

[worthy tapir]

I still have my 5700xt but it just sits in it's box now 😭

[fervent stump]

If my noise canceling doesn’t work on my AirPods and this is what I have covered does that mean that I can get a replacement for free or just that a cheaper cost?

[unreal trail]

$700+tax+tip+would you like a warranty+PSN+disc drive

[velvet summit]

doesnt work at all or just doesnt work well

[fervent stump]

How come?

I just need to replace my right AirPod

[velvet summit]

you should contact support to troubleshoot, and if they cant fix it, they might send a replacement

for free

[fervent stump]

So I’d have 2 pairs of AirPods?

[velvet summit]

you might need to send the broken one back

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[velvet summit]

they might even just only send one earbud if it's only that one that's broken

depending on the product

[fervent stump]

I think it’s one since when I put it in sometimes it makes a loud high pitch noise and the noise canceling doesn’t work

[velvet summit]

might be the mic in it

just contact support; not really anything we can do here

[fervent stump]

How?

[fervent stump]

Oki

[fervent stump]

Btw this is the thing https://www.target.com/p/airpods-pro-2nd-generation-with-magsafe-case-usb-c/-/A-85978622

[mighty hazel]

I had something like that happen on an Apple Pencil 💀 it just stopped holding a charge

[velvet summit]

yea, doesnt really matter which model it is

as long as it's still under warranty, chances are, they'll probably send some form of replacement

[mighty hazel]

I even tried heating it up with a hair dryer ☠️ apparently it helps to fix it. But nothing

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[velvet summit]

idk how good apple's customer service is in terms of in-warranty replacements

[light egret]

The hair dryer trick is real hit or miss with any electronic, and can do more damage that it solves, and when it does solve the issue, it's almost never a permanent fix lol.

[velvet summit]

i'd imagine it to not be terrible considering how much you pay for their stuff

[fervent stump]

Probably

[velvet summit]

out of warranty, i know they just tell you to punch sand basically

buy a new product

[fervent stump]

Apple no no care about us

[mighty hazel]

Yeah I had tried everything and i got it like 4 or 5 years ago so I had to try

It didn’t work. It would charge and then drop to 0 immediately

[light egret]

AFAIK apple's support is generally decent. You can go to a local Apple store and talk to someone about it and it should be free since it's still within warranty.

[fervent stump]

Yea may just go in person

[light egret]

lol I did that trick on my xbox 360 that had red ring of death. It fixed it for a few months, then died. So I did it again and it ran fine for a few more months and then I stopped using it

[fervent stump]

Wait can I go to T mobile or does it have to be apple

[mighty hazel]

I had a PS4 that had something like that except it just didn’t display anything and made cracking noises. I put it in horizontal and left it for a few days and it was fine after

[light egret]

if it's out of warranty and just not working, you can try it again but hold it in whatever right place for longer and get it real hot. But it prob still won't work and could cause more damage than it fixes. If it's just not holding a charge though, I would imagin it's a dead battery that cannot be fixed and if you over heat the battery it can cause some significant damage by causing battery to explode so don't heat it on the battery part.

[light egret]

If you got it through tmobile you could try them but I would say go to apple directly. Im not sure if tmobile will cover apple peripherals

[velvet summit]

issue seems to be that ANC isnt working in one bud, and not that it's not turning on

[unreal trail]

prebuilt that can smoke PS5 lol

[velvet summit]

at least from what i gleaned from the convo

[fervent stump]

My phone is from t mobile but I got the AirPods from target

[velvet summit]

go to apple directly

manu warranty; not target

[light egret]

this wasnt about the headphones, it was about @mighty hazel 's pencil not working lol

[fervent stump]

Ok :( it’s far though

[velvet summit]

unless you bought extra warranty off target

give apple support a call or use the text chat

[light egret]

then you will not be able to go to tmobile for the warranty, you will have to go to apple directly.

[velvet summit]

ahhhh

[fervent stump]

Alright

[mighty hazel]

Apparently Apple can replace the battery for like 20 bucks but I have no idea how they would even open it. It’s sealed completely

[light egret]

how much is the pencil?

[velvet summit]

only 20 bucks from apple?

[mighty hazel]

Apparently

[mighty hazel]

Like 80, 90 iirc

It’s 1st gen one

[light egret]

I would just take it and pay the 20 if that's all it cost 🤷

[velvet summit]

isnt the first gen apple pencil the one with the goofy charging method

[mighty hazel]

Yeah it’s that one

[velvet summit]

💀

[worthy tapir]

I work at AT&T and we don't honor any type of apple warranty or any warranty for anything that isn't AT&T branded

[mighty hazel]

💀

[light egret]

My local ATT will replace any iphone that is within warranty period directly in store. Same with samsung, but it's only those 2 brands. Anything else has to go through the actual manufacturers warranty process.

[velvet summit]

i mean, it does make sense; the warranty is given by the manu, not the seller, unless you upsold the customer on some of your own in-store extended warranty

[light egret]

I hate that so much

[velvet summit]

might as well buy a 2nd gen apple pencil 💀

[mighty hazel]

It was so goofy

The new one charges on the side of the iPad. magnetic

[light egret]

so wait, can you not charge the pencil and the ipad at the same time?

[worthy tapir]

If it's within the 14 day return policy we can return or exchange but that's it. I'm authorized retail so maybe it's different for us idk

[mighty hazel]

You can’t

Unless you use an adapter for the pencil and plug it straight into the cable

[fervent stump]

WHY ARE IPADS SO EXPENSIVE

[mighty hazel]

Wasn’t there iPads for like 200 bucks on sale like a week ago

[velvet summit]

they're practically a whole laptop in a thin ass display

[light egret]

ah I have been told it's different for authorized retailers and they can have different policies per retailer. But afaik the actual ATT stores themselves will replace them if it falls within the warranty period. They almost replaced my Razr+ for me thinking it was a samsung but then once they realized they were like "nope"

[mighty hazel]

Not the Apple silicon ones but still

[velvet summit]

ipads are kinda crazy

the m series chips in ipads are i mean

[worthy tapir]

Yeah usually I'll sit with them to help them make a claim through samsung or apple but it's just me being nice and not my actual job lol

[light egret]

I appreciate people like you lol
