[opaque sedge]

Probably wont need a 360 tho cuz the cpu is a 7800x3d

[idle nexus]

the back is so open that air would flow easy. plus the airflow through the CPU cooler should push some air out of the back I'd think

[opaque sedge]

Yup

[idle nexus]

you could always redo the thermal paste & pads on the GPU but I doubt you need to once there's more cool air nearby for it

[chrome portal]

Poggers

[rancid juniper]

yay new update

[dusk knot]

Hmm

Amd

[vestal bay]

Howdy ppl.

[sinful blade]

Hey it’s not a bot

[opaque sedge]

Damn quicker than nvidia

Amd winning

[rancid juniper]

wild since they usually drop drivers way later

[proud jackal]

[opaque sedge]

Yup gow ragnarok ones took a week after launch

[rancid juniper]

dude, new discord notif sound?

👀

[opaque sedge]

And that game was somehow better optimized for green hardware despite the native one being optimized for rdna two on the ps5

[idle nexus]

okay I'm getting tired of these 1 million hours of stress testing I just wanna install windows & be done with this

[rancid juniper]

Greencard

[opaque sedge]

The 7900xt was getting the same performance as a 4070s

Not sure how it is now

[opaque sedge]

They finally understanding where the money’s at rn

[idle nexus]

I just wanna use my 4090 again before 5090 comes out & it makes it feel old

[proud jackal]

I tell myself the same thing

[idle nexus]

I bet 5090 HOF is gonna cost like $10,000

gonna have to sell a kidney

but once you go HOF you cannot go back

[dusk knot]

4k

[idle nexus]

4090 cost me more than I wanna admit & I got lucky buying it 2d hand

[dusk knot]

Was it worth it?

[idle nexus]

lol it's been pretty good

[proud jackal]

Want to buy my 4090?

[idle nexus]

ig maybe I could settle for a Strix next time

but full voltage control is just so nice

[idle nexus]

lol JP does

[proud jackal]

Wonder how much used cards go for now

[idle nexus]

it might fetch a good price because I think it's hard to get 4090s now

[opaque sedge]

@idle nexus it might have been my fan speed curve i used a splitter this time for all three fans onto one header, and compared to the curve i had on other headers in my old setup it was a lot lower

[idle nexus]

recent sales but new

wait no those are pre-owned

[vestal bay]

Maybe

[opaque sedge]

Booting up cyberpunk to check temps again

[vestal bay]

Lol

[opaque sedge]

Best game to test out hardware rn surprisingly

[onyx merlin]

How you all doing I am upset they just announced new contract for us Mail carriers

its a failure we are only getting 1.3 percent raise over life of contract

[idle nexus]

occasional outliers tho lol

[onyx merlin]

dosent even keep up with inflation at all

I was hoping at least 3-5 buck raise but not even that lol

[idle nexus]

twice a year increases in cost of living adjustments

[onyx merlin]

@idle nexus still everyone was expecting a very good contract and its just more of the status quo......

but its a goverment job so not suprising

most are low pay

[idle nexus]

people in the private sector often go more than a year without a raise

[dusk knot]

Me!!

90 percent off

[idle nexus]

don't you get a pension after a certain amount of years? do you get healthcare?

I'm just saying, it might turn out better than it sounds

[onyx merlin]

@idle nexus your right just very frustrating to earn so little compared to UPS when we work our asses off.... yes just this new contract is not going to do anything to help retention use to have people lining up for this job.... they had chance to fix staffing issues and make USPS great again.

But decided not to

[idle nexus]

unfortunately, government really doesn't have much incentive to do more than the bare minimum. They don't have to compete to get the best workers & they don't have to compete to stay open

[onyx merlin]

True will just keep looking around for better jobs.

[proud jackal]

@onyx merlin at least it's not warm in bay area anymore

[onyx merlin]

true

[sinful blade]

[sinful blade]

Frick dejoy

Isn’t even about politics
He’s just a garbage human

[craggy shoal]

I'm so glad I got a MacBook lol this is sick

[onyx merlin]

Yup Dejoy a prick

[sinful blade]

Uh

Motor

What’s that on the left there

Middle left

[craggy shoal]

Server with my friends and I called Call of Booty

[sinful blade]

Uh huh

[craggy shoal]

I swear bro

Trust me bro

@sinful blade bro you gotta trust me

lol

[opaque sedge]

I haven’t tried this yet

[craggy shoal]

It's so nice when you're charging your phone and its battery is dying so you have to have your screen off for it to charge otherwise it'll start to overheat

ya know?

💀

[velvet summit]

1 whole channel

[craggy shoal]

yeah

so I made my own Discord server and didn't invite the other idiot who made Call of Booty lol

[random osprey]

pickup today option was a lie, order still processing. have to pickup iphone another day 🗿

[craggy shoal]

My server is way better and actually has bots and several different VCs and text channels

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/bq3TlSM5YLY

[tacit quiver]

did me being back convince you to get a macbook in 2 days?

[craggy shoal]

nah I got it like a couple weeks ago

[tacit quiver]

oh

[craggy shoal]

Also, did Discord change their ping sound?

Sounds different and weird maybe it's just me

[tacit quiver]

sometimes they change things for halloween

not sure though i havent heard it yet

[velvet summit]

my gf said it was different but i havent heard any notifs yet

[craggy shoal]

@tacit quiver @velvet summit here y'all let me know

[sinful blade]

I got an iPad yesterday
Which I promptly gave to the wife for her crocheting

[velvet summit]

or rather, all the notifs i had from my phone

[tacit quiver]

volume off, sorry

[velvet summit]

also im in the same channel so i didnt get a sound

💀

[craggy shoal]

bruh click out real quick

[velvet summit]

ping me in 3 seconds

[craggy shoal]

@velvet summit

[velvet summit]

sounds the same

[craggy shoal]

bruh

wtf

[velvet summit]

though i havent restarted discord

lemme restart discord and then see if it changes lmao

[craggy shoal]

I can't forward messages in Discord yet but they changed the notifications sound

[tacit quiver]

rate my wallpaper

took it myself

[craggy shoal]

@velvet summit

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/wallpaper-sad-wallpapers-you-may-need-sad-heartbreak-gif-17939645

[velvet summit]

ok yeah it sounds different

quite different

what is this sound 💀

[craggy shoal]

BRUH it's so ugly 😭

[velvet summit]

it's like they eq'ed all the bass out of the notification sound

[craggy shoal]

It's so quiet bruh. Like I have YouTube blasting. Idk when somebody pings me 💀

[tacit quiver]

maybe thats a good thing

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I like my wallpapers in 84p

YouTube: at a normal volume
Discord ping notification: super quiet

Hate it

[sinful blade]

I use space/cool images as mine

And I posted my Home Screen earlier

You can go find it ya self cuz I already done deleted it

[velvet summit]

are they sticking the finger at us

i have ceres fauna as my phone background

[sinful blade]

Idk, I just typed “wallpaper” and that shows up

[velvet summit]

vee chuber

[opaque sedge]

What type of hub would be necessary to plug both the fan power plugs and rgb pins?

[velvet summit]

i dont think there's a specific name for it

just look through fan hubs and find one with rgb as well

rgb fan hub perhaps

[storm narwhal]

Windows 12 default background

[lone mango]

Certified mac wallpaper

[craggy shoal]

Actually thought this was a default wallpaper I just didn't know about

[fair onyx]

Hmmm... The new youtube color fade time bar makes it pretty hard for people with colorblindness to see where the time is, especially from afar

[fair onyx]

that is so much more difficult to see than just solid red

on some backgrounds its fine, but its pretty hard to see on that one

on the scene after, its fine tho

[lone mango]

Discord level of pointless changes fr

[fair onyx]

Honestly, yeah

I thought it was neat at first, but seeing how hard it was to see in that video, especially at a small scale when leaning back far (I am 3-4 feet away from my monitors), I realized its not a great idea

I have light color de-sensitivity (very minor), so really light shades of colors can be damn near impossible for me to see, like that hyper pastel pink iphone, it looks off white to me. So if somebody had it even more than me, I could imagine it being seriosly hard to find where you are

[nocturne flicker]

They also made it so you can't see the full length of ads on mobile with the yellow bar anymore, just time until you can skip. Only represents full ad length when the ad can't be skipped

[craggy shoal]

Just download some ad blockers and use your web browser

easy

[waxen saddle]

I have a computer concern question

please reply to me for further explaination

[craggy shoal]

okay bro just ask it

[waxen saddle]

dm

[craggy shoal]

nah

tf

what 💀

[atomic mist]

[waxen saddle]

ok fine

[craggy shoal]

just ask it bruh

[waxen saddle]

i will explain here if ur afraid

[craggy shoal]

in #building-and-recc-chat

[atomic mist]

[waxen saddle]

its not abt bjuilding computers

i got a email that i think is a scam but not 100%

[pastel marsh]

it is a pipe bomb?

[atomic mist]

It’s a scam

[craggy shoal]

"if ur afraid" nah just why? 💀

[waxen saddle]

are you gonna help or nah

[craggy shoal]

just ask it and people will help

simple

also ask in #building-and-recc-chat

[pastel marsh]

if you suspect it is a scam, there's a high chance it is

[craggy shoal]

CptPhil is a scammer

lol

"I require help" scammer

lol

[waxen saddle]

I got an email in late may that some hackers from the program pegasus which is a spyware have access to my stuff. And they allegedly i jrked of to prn videos. But i dont watch p*rn and they asked me to send them 1.5k bitcoin is this a scam?

[craggy shoal]

bro typing up a paragraph already

[pastel marsh]

give me your ccv number for verifying your card works

[pastel marsh]

tell them they are gay

[craggy shoal]

yeah that's a scam

[pastel marsh]

then block

[craggy shoal]

also probably delete that message before the mods get angry

but yeah scam

[waxen saddle]

They allegedly got access to my webcam but bro i dont watch p*rn

[craggy shoal]

yeah it's a scare tactic

[waxen saddle]

do you want the message?

[pastel marsh]

doesn't matter, report btc address to feds

[craggy shoal]

nah (it'll anger the mods lol)

[pastel marsh]

they have an anon tip

https://tips.fbi.gov/

[craggy shoal]

ngl I didn't know about that

[pastel marsh]

the SEC has it too for insider activity

[craggy shoal]

"Here's some message to scare you lol also send some Bitcoin so I don't expose you" screams that they're just scaring you

[pastel marsh]

send to feds

[waxen saddle]

?

[pastel marsh]

the fbi will track the address of them and the info they sent

[weak cedar]

pretty much

[storm narwhal]

If you put the dots together...

It don't line up

Henceforth it is a scam

[pastel marsh]

chances are it is probably one guy, however if it is an org. They could connect it to many addresses they already have monitored

[waxen saddle]

wdym addresses

[pastel marsh]

btc addresses

[waxen saddle]

bitcoin?

i dont even have bitcoin

[pastel marsh]

the feds can trace them

[craggy shoal]

Also given the Bitcoin address, (I think) they're trying to stay anonymous

[weak cedar]

also the pegasus is sus

[waxen saddle]

idk how to even report it

[pastel marsh]

also if it is tied to a KYC exchange, they can arrest the individual(s) involved

[pastel marsh]

https://tips.fbi.gov/home

fill out the form

sends the info to the FBI

[sinful blade]

@waxen saddle when did they send it
Cuz apple patched the vulnerability in 2021 lmao

[weak cedar]

it doesn't work that way if there in another country

[pastel marsh]

it does

[storm narwhal]

Peg asus? Who would even do that-

[waxen saddle]

may 26th

[pastel marsh]

the FBI doesn't operate on its own

it operates with many countries

[storm narwhal]

Well

[waxen saddle]

which one?

[storm narwhal]

I'm not sure with is terribly accurate

[pastel marsh]

and if, for the slim chance this is a org. They can track them down

[craggy shoal]

Internet-based fraud

[pastel marsh]

Internet based fraud

[weak cedar]

it's for eavesdropping on mobile phones by connecting to cell towers, although that usually more on higher level like for companies if your ceo, IT and warfare type of deal. not the average joe

[pastel marsh]

which is impossible to do

[craggy shoal]

hence the "(I think)"

wasn't sure lol

[pastel marsh]

if you want to be anonymous, there's other coins. However, they're banned on KYC so you can't convert

And governments all around the world actively take down the networks

[weak cedar]

Pegasus operators sent text messages containing a malicious link to their target’s phone. If the target clicked, a malicious page would open on their web browser to download and execute the malware, infecting the device.

thats how that one works

[sinful blade]

If you’re not a dummy and don’t click random links
You’re more than likely fine

[pastel marsh]

just disable javascript in emails and the like

most do

virustotal is not 100% accurate

if the domain looks fake, it is a scam

[craggy shoal]

lol like "you.tube.com" (idk if that's real. Don't try it)

[pastel marsh]

I got a job application from loblaw.org, however it is a different holder than loblaw.ca. The site redirects to loblaw.ca and the form has a static token for their interview form

so despite not having malware, it tries to get you to download their malware app from a fake site

[craggy shoal]

yeah some bigger sites will buy the smaller site and have it redirect to the real site

Forgot some but they exist lol

I think minecraft.com is one of them lol

[weak cedar]

Pegasus spyware works with SS7 Attacks and certain fake companies

[pastel marsh]

DNS lookups and there's other commands you can do. However if it is using cloudflare to mask, then you know it is fake

[craggy shoal]

lol I use Cloudflare

[pastel marsh]

and their goal is to mask your experiences as "normal", despites altering it

[pastel marsh]

same, but the issue is cloudflare is known to work with these networks

[craggy shoal]

yikes didn't know that

[pastel marsh]

they've been investigated a ton

[sinful blade]

Tbf, cloudflare works with anyone

Literally from nexus mods, to nsfw sites

[pastel marsh]

I've tried reporting a lot of fraud and phishing sites, cloudflare sends a message from their support saying it doesn't break their rules. When it breaks federal laws

[craggy shoal]

"lol federal law? that's not our rules lmao idiots"

[waxen saddle]

If you click a link at most it will do is download the app but you have to manually execute it

[craggy shoal]

"come sugondeez"

[pastel marsh]

https://www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/law-enforcement/

[craggy shoal]

Not that bad but still delete it and remove it from your recycling bin

[weak cedar]

yap

[pastel marsh]

Cloudflare runs a global network that provides security and performance enhancements for Internet facing websites and applications around the world. Cloudflare cannot remove content from the Internet that it does not host, and we generally do not collect or keep information regarding the end users of websites using our services. In responding to the narrow set of law enforcement requests for which we do have responsive information, it is not Cloudflare’s intent to make law enforcement’s job any harder … or easier.

[waxen saddle]

Delete what

[craggy shoal]

the file that was downloaded (if you downloaded it)

[waxen saddle]

I didn’t download anything

[craggy shoal]

gotcha nvm then

[waxen saddle]

Anything I download, I scan with my windows antivirus

[weak cedar]

they can only block and remove from listings if needed

[pastel marsh]

they can remove their proxies, but only if you are a law enforcement officer

[waxen saddle]

How if they use vpn

[pastel marsh]

this is tracked based on the BTC address and checking if it was linked or attached to any known networks

[weak cedar]

not all vpns are vpns, there "vpns"

[pastel marsh]

if it is attached to KYC or another form of exchange, they can trace a person directly

[craggy shoal]

A lot of VPNs log users' data

[pastel marsh]

chances are it is 1 person

[waxen saddle]

I just realized I think I deleted the email already but I have the screenshots

[pastel marsh]

and they already scammed multiple people, meaning the reported address would be linked to a KYC exchange. Then that could be discovered from the fillings of these companies

[pastel marsh]

just send whatever you can to them

if everyone just ignores these scams, or even attacks, then these individuals would always get away with the crime

[craggy shoal]

exactly just make more noise and something will eventually be done about it

[waxen saddle]

Doesn’t the fbi have access to like every email I got from another person and every email I sent?

[pastel marsh]

companies like discord and others do need to send stuff that is flagged, but they can't forward all messages lol

but if you deleted emails from the trash from apple, as you use icloud, you can contact apple and they should have it since they store emails up to x day

[waxen saddle]

Do you really think they will have an email from 4 months ago

[pastel marsh]

also apple would have logs with the IP and such of that compromised account sign in attempts. But it is best to just unlink everything and have the feds deal with it

[pastel marsh]

I don't know for sure

[waxen saddle]

Also I did have a attempted login from Kazakhstan or something on Microsoft account so idk if this is related

[pastel marsh]

you can call them to say that account was compromised though

[pastel marsh]

in that case, if it wasn't a VPN or proxy they used it is some terror group in the middle east

[waxen saddle]

Idk why these scammers are targeting cuz literally all I have on my account is Minecraft which I don’t play anymore and flight simulator which I do play little

[pastel marsh]

they just want money and would try everything to extort it

[craggy shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-money-gif-25191018

Scammers lol

[lone mango]

[pastel marsh]

I know someone that bought a computer from one that committed credit card fraud. The guy regretted it, thinking it was an easy way to make money. Once you're caught then you realize how banking off others doesn't pay off.

and in the future, more and more systems are going to be similar to how FedNow's whitepaper described. Everything will be confined to the reserve, or the government for that currency

[sinful blade]

My credit rating is in the toilet
So if someone even tried to open one in my name, they’d get denied(I can’t even use pay over time services)

I got a few credit cards and maxed them not realizing how over my head I was

Then they all went to collections and my credit tanked

[pastel marsh]

credit rating does not matter if you get targeted. In fact, it'll be better if you do since you can sue the guy who takes out the fraudulent loan for the amount they thought they "took"

you won't even need a lawyer to take them to court since they'll already be found charged

[sinful blade]

I can’t even qualify for temu’s pay over time

And that’s bad

[pastel marsh]

don't buy off temu

[sinful blade]

I know, it’s just data scraping heaven

[pastel marsh]

go aliexpress, which isn't sketchy

if you get scammed on temu, then good luck

[sinful blade]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006681434695.html

Aliexpress no scam

We promise

[pastel marsh]

we'll issue refunds on that lol

[sinful blade]

It’s weird how disabling JavaScript gives aliexpress a seizure

[pastel marsh]

that is dark reader

also you can look at sellers

temu does have local stuff though

I am using a VPN though

[nocturne flicker]

Haswell i7 with a 580 for 358

[sinful blade]

I’ve thought about it

Testing one of those

[nocturne flicker]

If I'm correct it isn't even an interesting one like the 4790k, it has to be a 4770

Actually it could be a 3770, that had the same base and boost as the 4770

[gleaming sedge]

Hmm got a 12 inch sub thinking it was a 10 inch and got it for 19 dollars, maybe time to make a house/home theater setup

[sinful blade]

My fatass thinking you mean a sandwich

[gleaming sedge]

Nope a kicker sub woofer

[sinful blade]

I was like “the hell you putting on that to make it $19”

[narrow torrent]

Hello

[pliant berry]

19usd is a lot? Sometimes I’m spending 20 for a chicken sandwich

[mortal grail]

You need to not buy from there

I'd pay a fiver not 20 lmfao

Unless this sandwich was like a whole foot long

[storm narwhal]

I'll give you a footlong in a minute

[craggy shoal]

@mortal grail What do you think about Discord's new ping sound?

[mortal grail]

I'll probably never know

I have all that stuff turned off

[craggy shoal]

bruh

bro said "what's the point of notifications?" 💀

[mortal grail]

Ain't no bruh about it, I get like 50 pings on average a day, screw turning that ass on

Ya

[craggy shoal]

oh then yeah I'd reduce notifs somehow too then 💀

[mortal grail]

I read pings

Ya it does

[craggy shoal]

How do you know you're pinged?

[mortal grail]

I read the pings when I turn on the app

You know that great little red number

[craggy shoal]

gotcha so you just frequently check Discord

[mortal grail]

Ya a few times a day

[velvet summit]

I barely ever get pingd lmfao

[mortal grail]

Or I'll be lurking and I see it

Same reason I leave DM's closed. I don't add just anyone cos I know I can be asked about PC stuff when it's not urgent

[velvet summit]

I get more notifications from that one friend group server with all messages notifications on

[mortal grail]

Lol

I get a few of those

Most are from either here or another server in particular

[craggy shoal]

I wish my friend group used Discord like that. It would organize what we talk about a lot better lol

[velvet summit]

Lmao

TBF it's a little more than just a friend group server
It's like a 2 friend group server that somewhat intermingles

[mortal grail]

2 friends

Brother that's called DMs

☠️

[velvet summit]

LMFAO

[craggy shoal]

That's kinda what I want to do. Maybe some of my gf's friend group, my friend group, and maybe even my brother's friend group as well

would be sick lol

I'm too introverted to start that though

[velvet summit]

Only works if all friend groups have chill

[mortal grail]

You know what you should do

Wait until everyone is online

Then merge all three servers

(Can we do that?)

[velvet summit]

(no)

[mortal grail]

I like chaos I wish we could do that

[craggy shoal]

My friend group: not chill (mostly Houston-based)
my gf's friend group: chill asf (Austin-based)

Yeah that for sure wouldn't work 💀

[mortal grail]

You can do that in teamspeak

You can just migrate the whole voice chat to random places

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[mortal grail]

Suddenly you and your friends are in a chinese teamspeak for CS2

[velvet summit]

You can move users in a voice chat to another voice channel on the same server, but not onto another one

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah but you pick the obviously global server first

Or do other stuff like create a voice channel with a 500KB bitrate

So everyone sounds like they're on UHF radio

[craggy shoal]

💀

[mortal grail]

I think teamspeak is the cooler older brother than discord nowadays

[craggy shoal]

I never used Teamspeak

[mortal grail]

It's really not that far from discord tbh

Just more focus on voice chat

[velvet summit]

I used teamspeak once

I don't use voice chats much so I never used it again

[craggy shoal]

I didn't have a friend group during its prime lol. I always watched YouTube when people used Skype (around when Twitch was starting) and then I got busy with school and never played anything with my friends (mostly on console at the time anyways) and then suddenly some random friend I met online after building my first PC was like "hey use Discord its way better than Skype" and I'm like okay

sorry I shouldn't have typed so much

It's morning. I type a lot when my meds don't kick in

yapping asf

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[mortal grail]

This was me but go back to discord's first year

Lmao

[velvet summit]

I joined discord in 2016... Used it once then forgot about it and made another account in 2017

And then realized in 2018 that I had another discord account

💀

I always forget which email I used to sign up on stuff

[craggy shoal]

Man switching from console to PC when in high school was crazy. You had to find friends online because nobody in your IRL friend group had a PC and they went the easy way and stuck with it (getting either an Xbox or PS and dying with it)

"Goodbye friends. I'm joining a better world"

[velvet summit]

Hah you had to switch from console to pc

I never had a console that had online play 💀

[craggy shoal]

Yeah and at the time everybody was bragging "yeah I'm getting a PS4. It'll be such an upgrade from my Xbox360 or PS2." I ended up getting a PS4 first but then I'm like "yeah I also want a PC" lol

[velvet summit]

I got the hand me down gameboy advance

And a office pc that sounded like an engine starting up

The fans would do that engine voom thing that happens during startup on some cars

And then slow back down

[craggy shoal]

Bruh my first PC had the stock FX 8350 cooler and it just kept getting louder

Can't believe AMD paired such a cooler with a 125W TDP (iirc) CPU

[velvet summit]

The case fan was the heatsink fan for the Pentium 4 on my office pc

[craggy shoal]

I eventually got a Hyper 212 Evo (the best meme-but-actually-had-a-really-good-value cooler at the time) but it didn't fit in my case so the main side panel was just kinda bent open a bit 💀

[velvet summit]

Actually, only the cpu had a fan interestingly enough
There was a duct that only went around the cpu and north bridge

[mortal grail]

Did that also just keep getting louder

I like to imagine this is like the horror movie section of your life

Like r/twosentencehorrors

[velvet summit]

Lmao

NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT JUST GETS LOUDER

[velvet summit]

My cpu cooler was loud so I got a better one

The new cooler is getting louder

[craggy shoal]

The stock AMD fan? Yeah it just kept getting louder and louder. Even while it was shutting down it should take a minute to shutdown and the fan would continue to ramp up 💀

[velvet summit]

creepy music plays

[mortal grail]

By the end it's so loud you get arrested for noise complaints

And then it goes on until it turns into a large scale devastation

Sonic boom FX

I drove that interstate once when i was a new driver… still traumatized by those maryland plates

[craggy shoal]

Just be glad you don't drive on 290 inbound to Houston in the morning or outbound in the afternoon

complete chaos

• 2pm: fine
• 3pm: okay a little more crowded but the average speed is still maybe 70-75mph
• 4pm: more dense than 3pm usually and the average speed is like 60mph
• 5pm: what is said to be "rush hour"
• 6pm: actual rush hour because the people rushing at 5pm have already gotten home
• 7pm: practically 6pm

I hate living here

And then if you take the HOV lane on Friday, it's actually a waste of money because you can actually drive faster on the normal freeway (idiots will pay $5 weekly [daily?] to go the speed limit and cause a whole line behind them as well. No passing lane on this HOV lane either)

What do you guys think of a steam deck at this time of the year?

[craggy shoal]

Wait for Black Friday

[rancid juniper]

Managed to cop an Intel 670p nvme for $34, its 512gb but gonna use it as a boot drive for my laptop

Got fed up with that Sata III m.2

[velvet summit]

would it even go on sale on black friday lmao

steam deck hasnt ever gone on sale asides from the ones they're discontinuing

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I mean they know that people will buy it so probably wouldn't go on sale lol

[rancid juniper]

130w strix halo handheld when?

[velvet summit]

only 512gb model left

[rancid juniper]

Not even OLED

[velvet summit]

they're being discontinued because they're not oled

Would rather Xe2 handheld thx

[spark halo]

So i talked to a few friends of mine

I have figured out what the issue is

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

But on another note

It was most likely a blown capacitor on the motherboard

Meaning lack of cooling in the case

What would be a good case for cooling

With preinstalled fans

Uuuh

[sinful blade]

I’m a walking ad for it

[spark halo]

Naaah bro

I would rather use something with a fan rail system

See i cant fit 18 120mm fans in that

[sinful blade]

But how about this instead

[spark halo]

Thats just the stone of jas

It doesn’t interest me

they shut down the orders for s42, the pledge page was broken for 3 years

s42 was supposed to release this year

I think the actual sim won't ever be released. However, s42 will be released by 2030 if it does pass dev hell. The game was feature complete in 2023

[lone mango]

I really dont like that game

So uh, got my Covid vaccine yesterday and have been feeling horrible ever since

Feels like someone punched me in the head multiple times

[ancient swift]

They've added a bit more. but most of the fun is community driven tbh. Lots of PVP, PVE content is still being expanded. :c

[dusk knot]

This is the harsh reality

[pseudo raven]

yeah i was more sick after my 2nd dose

than after covid

both after the vaccine and a year later

[devout forum]

Yeah they suck arse

[ancient swift]

At least you didn't get the Johnson and Johnson

Was the only one available to us overseas when I was deployed. so they didn't have to schedule 2 appointments or whatever. That was a painful shot. Definitely worse than the Anthrax shot which I think is pretty high up on the awful list.

[pastel marsh]

also have PWA

[craggy shoal]

What is it?

[pastel marsh]

I don't think ios supports PWA stuff

[pastel marsh]

it is called writing a script

[craggy shoal]

Progressive web apps? We do and we can turn basically any webpage into a PWA lol

[pastel marsh]

also can your iphone have a desktop mode

[craggy shoal]

Not what I’m looking for

[sinful blade]

Real question

Why would you want to

[pastel marsh]

android 14 supports a desktop mode on all phones

[sinful blade]

It seems kinda weird to play full on games from your phone

Just use your computer lmao

[craggy shoal]

Android as a desktop is crazy 💀😭

[sinful blade]

Or a laptop

[craggy shoal]

I mean I guess it's nice but I have a laptop for that lol

[rancid juniper]

i mean buying a $500+ phone is already crazy in my eyes

[pastel marsh]

it is similar to chrome os, however since android is linux it is like its own machine

the snapdragon 8 gen 2 is like the 8cx gen 2

[craggy shoal]

So you'd rather have a Chrome OS in your pocket rather than a Windows laptop?

[rancid juniper]

if that phone is mad expensive i expect to see it being feature packed since the SOC inside it is sooooo OP

[pastel marsh]

so you could run desktop level applications on those chips

[craggy shoal]

"But it's way more portable" I'm not doing work off of my phone lol

[pastel marsh]

just saying you have that option with android

[sinful blade]

A lot of android hype is “it can do anything”

But like, 99% of people don’t need it to
Why would I want to play morrowind on a 8 inch screen
Or why would you make your phone into a desktop, when… that’s what a desktop is for

[pastel marsh]

can confirm

[idle nexus]

ig that's the dance you do when neither Microsoft, Google, nor Apple can collect your data or make you send telemetry crap

[pastel marsh]

discord collects your data

try typing a message here about buying something, then check for ads

[craggy shoal]

Everything does lol

That’s why I self host

[pastel marsh]

yet u use discord

[idle nexus]

as soon as gaming on Linux gets on point, I'll attempt to use it

[pastel marsh]

it is only dx games

[dusk knot]

HA!

[pastel marsh]

proton does dx to vulkan translations

and there's the anti cheat issue

however if a game is made for vulkan, there's a 99% chance it'll work on linux

[sinful blade]

I’ll take my debloated windows and all privacy settings as strict as can be on my iPhone

And I’ll be happy

[idle nexus]

well I only really play solo games anyway

[pastel marsh]

apple sells ur data

and they deleted my icloud, which I can sue them for

due to "inactivity"

[idle nexus]

good luck. you probably already agreed to 17 arbitration clauses

[craggy shoal]

You too? 💀😭

[pastel marsh]

last TOS I agreed to was in 2018

so I didn't agree to their new policies

I can take them to small claims court over it since I had bought goods and services under the account

and have one bank tied to that email

[idle nexus]

lol that's probably why they deleted it then

tech companies are [something I probably can't say here so use your imagination]

[pastel marsh]

I also use bing

idc about my data, as long as I get the ai tech for free

they can make me dress up as a astolfo from fate and I would still agree so long as I get copilot

I'll be waiting for the first major case of "when the AI on my phone has basically learned so much about me that it's become my second brain whether I have a Fifth Amendment right to prevent it from essentially testify against me in court."

[nocturne flicker]

You have no rights, you signed them away to a private company when you agreed to use their product that steals information about everything you do and repurposes it for sale and active use

[spark halo]

Yep

[nocturne flicker]

Ain't no way a court will let a company's right to steal and sell your data with dubious consent be curbed

[idle nexus]

the current state of the law doesn't really do anything to stop the companies from collecting the data if you agreed with it in a binding contract

[nocturne flicker]

Man, imagine a world in which the government was able to get data privacy protection legislation passed. It'd have to be a utopia

[pastel marsh]

I'd prefer not having any data privacy

rather the government be able to vet all citizens and everything

ah the old "if you're not doing anything bad you have nothing to hide" approach. Always goes well iirc

the usa is turning into 1984, and if you read the book you'll know the more left you are, the more resemblance it is to the book

well... now it isn't POSTing

I need to start researching some nice lakes or other bodies of water to throw this PC in

my theory is it has something to do with the lack of chipset drivers now that I've cleared all the existing Windows installs... I suppose I shouldn't be installing windows with an active overclock anyway

have they killed bypassnro yet? I found an alternate way I've been using so I haven't checked

Just a moment... Microsoft is infecting your stuff

im not, my hand still hasnt healed

need this cast off so i can play video games again

[mental yoke]

Ngl

[mental yoke]

Oh hell no

[misty sparrow]

This is a game I'm going to skip, but I will give them this, at least they did not list DLSS anywhere in the requirements

as it should be.

[sinful blade]

My pc isn’t existent so I can’t say yes

[sour falcon]

hello pookie

@sinful blade

[sour falcon]

soooooo, 1080p 60fps rt on???

[sinful blade]

Hey boo-boo thang

[sinful blade]

Also that’s been a while since I’ve seen a 970 on minimum specs

[misty sparrow]

It's kind of funny how spec requirements can list 3-5 year old CPUs in recommended or higher but when it comes to 3-5 year old GPUs they're not really that high in the requirements list

i don't really understand it too. is it because games depend more on the GPU than the CPU?

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/YzNR2B7vA1k?si=Iwr7aJDal8eXFand

talking about UBM

[north crescent]

GPUs typically get 1.5x generation perf increase. CPUs typically get way less generation perf increase. So older GPUs fall behind quicker than CPUs.

90% horror games be like:

[tacit quiver]

theres a small disc shaped battery on your motherboard called the CMOS battery. it caps your FPS at 30 and thats literally all it does... you can just take it out you'll be fine then youll probably get around 144fps

i know previous gen owners were furious

do you have 029 or whatever the first "fix" was?

my 3070 handles raytracing beautifully ever since i took out the CMOS battery

yuh

[rancid juniper]

why are you so fixated on CMOS?

lol

lol I didn't even look to see if EVGA Dark had a 029 update cuz I only use 12th on it

you wouldnt understand...

my 13th gen CPUs are too unstable for daily use I think

the cmos battery is evil and must be destroyed

3070 has more power than 2080ti lmao

every 2080ti owner was pissed about that

[idle nexus]

2080 was strange. I was watching an old GN video about it & it's basically like 1080ti with ray tracing that doesn't really work

yes but 2080ti had 12gb vram

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

I had to decide whether to put 2080ti or 3070 in my son's PC & went with 2080ti

[north crescent]

Pretty normal for new XX70 to be about old XX80Ti in performance

[idle nexus]

it wasn't an easy decision tbh

[rancid juniper]

people trying to sell their 2080ti before the inevitable

but this was around the time when scalping was insane i think

[idle nexus]

2080ti is wild tho

it's the only GPU I've benched that PL actually matters

[rancid juniper]

same thing with RDNA 2 to 3 except for XTX

[idle nexus]

my 2080ti SC2 with stonk BIOS ran nice & cool

I put the KP BIOS on it & it was bouncing TJ constantly

so I put a $25 alphacool block on it

[rancid juniper]

water

[idle nexus]

with liquid metal & the stonk backplate that I had to drill to make fit

& it was totally different lol

then I installed it in my son's 5900x build & his room was getting really hot so I put original BIOS back on it lol

it still gets a little warm in there but it's much better

[rancid juniper]

me: powerlimits gpu

[idle nexus]

I mean I did power limit it cuz of the heat

dunno why but my PC to PC steam transfer keeps borking out & it's way faster to just re-download it lol

[rancid juniper]

i keep most of my steam games installed because my internet is so bad

[idle nexus]

I don't remember seeing it this high before which is probably embarassing

[rancid juniper]

re-downloading anything takes too much time

wow

[idle nexus]

is that network limited or write speed on the drive limited?

gotta be network I think

I thought 24H2 had issues with WD drives or something

[rancid juniper]

knowing your rig it is the network

[idle nexus]

well just SN770 & SN850 iirc

[rancid juniper]

i cant believe its that specific

and me being unlucky

[idle nexus]

lol don't worry I have both

[rancid juniper]

because SN770 IS MY BOOT DRIVE

lol

[idle nexus]

iirc it was something with it not having DRAM or something uh let me find out from somewhere where the person knows what they're talking about

where one 0 instead of a 1 can destroy everything

its like installing the wrong vbios (one with higher vram) and when games ask for more vram than what the card could provide on the hardware level, it crashes

8gb is barely enough for anything & 12gb isn't great at 4k

[rancid juniper]

i mean is it actually worth doing so? Like does the card have enough power to run these games with higher vram? Actually the only good use case is upping the textures

[idle nexus]

in the comments someone mentioned swapping 3090 to 48gb. That would be sick lol

[narrow torrent]

I need a system that can run GNFS

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[craggy shoal]

What's GNFS?

[narrow torrent]

General number field sieve

[idle nexus]

yoo transferring over the network FTW

wait no that's crap compared to this lol

[craggy shoal]

Peak 24/7

[idle nexus]

889 whaat

[misty sparrow]

more unstable than a nuclear reactor

[idle nexus]

on the host side it peaked at 1.1 Gbps lol

[idle nexus]

regedit is a scary place fr

damn it's already done transferring at the host end

4:44 left on this end tho

gonna see how RE 4 does next cuz that's way bigger

lol I hate finding my timezone. I always find "Easter Island" really quick & have to read through slowly to find Eastern

ayy radeon user

[idle nexus]

it's iGPU lol

[rancid juniper]

😮

wait why igpu pulling this much dayum

[craggy shoal]

lol I’m gonna start putting in an hour of work every Saturday for "server maintenance" given that I’m the only server manager (I’m actually the only IT guy at my main job)

[craggy shoal]

"Just checking to see if Crontab is still running"

[idle nexus]

ya with nothing connected to it wth

[craggy shoal]

I’m joking but I should probably still do that ngl

[rancid juniper]

my keybord stopped existing, can you fix?

[idle nexus]

I mean, if you're taking your own time to do work, you should be compensated

[craggy shoal]

Yeah just get a new keyboard and I can help

[rancid juniper]

aight thanks IT guy

[narrow torrent]

I once knew a guy who worked in IT for 3 years without completing a single ticket after a few months, after a few months working he found a way to enter fake tickets without the customer being notified by removing them from notifications temporarily, then rating himself 5 stars using random VPNs ocassionally.

[craggy shoal]

Yeah exactly. There was a moment that we just weren't using our Nextcloud. While nothing went wrong, it's still a scary feeling coming back to the server that your two parents rely on lol

[idle nexus]

lol

[craggy shoal]

At my other job, we have to take notes of what we're doing throughout the day. You could just say "yeah I just walked around the campus to make sure everything is working" but the higher ups don't like it. So I'll just make random SC Tasks in SNOW for stuff I actually didn’t do

[idle nexus]

almoooost

[craggy shoal]

My most common one: "computer in [insert room here] was not responding. Fixed by restarting the computer"

But tbf nothing happens at the campus where I put that ticket in

[idle nexus]

plus, if they don't believe you or aren't happy about it, it's logged to the second isn't it? lol

[craggy shoal]

Fr. There's logs for SSH'ing into a computer lol

[idle nexus]

& if you're spending less than an hour on it, tell them what unit they want you to use cuz I know some jobs are like every 6 minutes or so

chandelier was melting ig

that's an olllllld ceiling like damn

all those wooden planks

they tore down plaster

that ain't drywall

[mortal grail]

Really, we're just gonna ignore the pink elephant in the room

[idle nexus]

it's insane how they used to make walls

[craggy shoal]

They prefer I clock whole hours rather than minutes. Not complaining lol

[idle nexus]

they'd put a whole bunch of wooden planks then like form plaster over it

okay I'll look closer

[idle nexus]

is it how terrible they were at getting any of the debris into that trash can...?

[craggy shoal]

There's so many things wrong with that image but I find myself not laughing at it

I feel like I’m missing something lol

[mortal grail]

Gary have you ever heard the phrase "Pink bats" before 💀

[idle nexus]

I don't speak the Queen's English

[velvet summit]

[craggy shoal]

It feels more like a "I’m a dense idiot" type of image more than a "I'm a nearly ironic idiot" image

[mortal grail]

Asbestos?

[idle nexus]

I thought that pink stuff was just fiberglass

it's itchy as hell don't get me wrong lol

[mortal grail]

No that's asbestos

Lolol

Also

Asbestos is kinda that

[idle nexus]

oh jeez that's not good

[mortal grail]

☠️

[idle nexus]

wait so

[craggy shoal]

Forbidden cotton candy

[idle nexus]

all those attics I crawled in...

those were... oh no

[velvet summit]

asbestos insulation does exist, though the pink stuff was fiberglass afaik

[mortal grail]

Yeah that pink fluffy cloud stuff you slept in as a kid

[gleaming sedge]

Would a 12" 600 Watt Dual 4-Ohm sub be decent for a home theater?

[mortal grail]

"Pink bats" is a famous phrase for asbestos insulation here

[velvet summit]

💀

[mortal grail]

Known for, you guessed it, pink colouration

[velvet summit]

there is pink fiberglass insulation here at least

[idle nexus]

if it's dual 4-ohm you can wire it in parallel down to 2-ohm

[velvet summit]

but maybe some of it was asbestos

or maybe they coloured the fiberglass pink because that's what people were used to

[gleaming sedge]

Noted, the sub I plan on using it not really ment for what I'm doing with it kinda

[velvet summit]

well, whether if it's fiberglass or asbestos, you dont want to breath in either of them lmfao

they will never get it out of your lungs

[mortal grail]

Ya

Asbestos is also a fire hazard

[velvet summit]

huh

[idle nexus]

I'd think 600w is pretty good depending on the size of the room. 12" sub is fairly large too. Other than 15" or 18", they don't often get much bigger besides like 22" jackhammers that are insane lol

[velvet summit]

wdym lmfao

[idle nexus]

that looks sprayed in

[mortal grail]

Ever seen a dust explosion

https://tenor.com/view/pinksvera-squidward-pie-explosion-gif-12419855336923696665

[velvet summit]

asbestos is used as a fire retardant material though? but i guess if you make a cloud of it it could explode but like

lmfao

[idle nexus]

24" also exists

[north crescent]

Yes?

[misty sparrow]

yeah big fast food chains put big burgers in ads but the actual burger is pretty small

rip

[mortal grail]

Ya anything that can even remotely ignite as a dust is dodgy af

[velvet summit]

like, the whole reason why asbestos was used so much was due to its insulative properties

[gleaming sedge]

A 22 would be crazy. it's the kicker 12inch sub I got for 19, my car already sounds nice and I want a better sub for my speaker system/future home theater

[velvet summit]

and it was also dirt cheap

[mortal grail]

More like dust cheap tbh

[velvet summit]

i've seen like asbestos fuses

using the asbestos for (electrical) insulation

[mortal grail]

It's not nearly as bad in small amounts

I hate cars, hate driving, hate traffic.
