[mortal grail]

If you're a consumer and you don't solely do multi thread work, it's not worth

[hoary zodiac]

there's a lot of countries with wonky pricing

[mortal grail]

Nope

Nope

Last gen will be cheaper

[hoary zodiac]

even in weird markets?

damn

[mortal grail]

Mhm

[devout forum]

281290 HUF for the 285K

Ouch

[mortal grail]

Unless you live smack dab in the middle of asia I highllyyyyyy doubt similar pricing

You also need cudimm

Or rather, want cudimm lol

[devout forum]

NGL if Intel kept LGA-1700, it might be sensible

but with a whole new platform, no

[hoary zodiac]

one day we're gonna get the intel's zen 2

[mortal grail]

The overall cost of lga1851 is just going to smash out any like for like reasoning

[devout forum]

like you have to buy everything anyway

[mortal grail]

Lga1700 will become the budget pick for a while

[devout forum]

at that point, you're better off going AMD

[hoary zodiac]

my rule for a new platform is just to wait until the second gen

[mortal grail]

Nope

[hoary zodiac]

first gen never worth

[devout forum]

Feels like a big own goal with the new platform

[mortal grail]

AM5 is overall not cheaper than LGA1700 rn

Only a couple exceptions to this

[devout forum]

I'm comparing to LGA1800

or whatever

idk the new socket name yet

[mortal grail]

Ya but you may as well go 1700 then

[devout forum]

Ye 1700 might be worth now

I'm making the point that if Arrow Lake released while keeping the 1700 socket, it'd unironically be really good

but with the new socket, any argument is just blown out the water

[hoary zodiac]

I don't think they could've

[mortal grail]

Who knows why they didn't

[hoary zodiac]

at least not with the full benefits

[mortal grail]

I don't think anyone's really knocking it like zen 5 tho

[hoary zodiac]

AMD complacency

I'd take 14th gen over zen 5

[mortal grail]

It's just not great but it's not like AMD that quite literally regressed consumer-based ipc code

Both architectures look like server and enterprise victories imo

One wins big in efficiency

The other took a massive yield in compiler/512

[devout forum]

I'm kind of excited for the 9800X3D, but it'll cost way too much to make any sesne

[mortal grail]

Yeah I'm praying it won't

[hoary zodiac]

It's AMD

[mortal grail]

I'm eyeing it

[hoary zodiac]

they will price gouge it

[gilded kraken]

I dont think it will honestly

[hoary zodiac]

AMD's been giving the middle finger to consumers since zen 3

[devout forum]

It's absolutely gonna be expensive

the only question is how expensive it will be

Remember

[hoary zodiac]

and seeing how intel's fairing AMD's probably not gonna stop doing their monopolistic shenanigans

[devout forum]

AMD itself scalped the 7800X3D when the degradation scandal broke

[mortal grail]

Yup

[hoary zodiac]

"Ryzen 5000 will not be available for B450"

never forget

[mortal grail]

REAL

[gilded kraken]

I expect it to be a little above base 9700x pricing

[hoary zodiac]

Zen 3 was peak scum AMD

radeons weren't looking that much better around that time either

[mortal grail]

I expect it to cost more than a 9900x

[hoary zodiac]

6500XT

[hoary zodiac]

better have really good single core perf

[mortal grail]

I pray it's cheaper

I really really do

[devout forum]

Ultimately, the hardware side is just depressing right now

[mortal grail]

$400 msrp would be wild

[gilded kraken]

Ive accepted my fate that my new build is going to be high 2000 dollar range

everything from scratch

cept a few drives

and my monitors and keyboard and such

[hoary zodiac]

I'm sticking on my laptop until it dies

broke student life

oh well at least my specs are decent enough to last me a couple years

[gilded kraken]

hopefully I can build everything cept the 5080 AIO card before Monster Hunter wilds releases

[devout forum]

I'm grateful that I managed to snag a job (even if I'm yet to start actually working due to licensing troubles)

[mortal grail]

50 series is probably gonna be kekw

Several signs to price increases

Probably more cheap design choices like 40 series

[gilded kraken]

yea...1300 dollar 5080 aio card is going to make me cry a little

[devout forum]

maybe in 2 or 3 years I can afford current hardware lmao

[mortal grail]

And then frame gen frame gen frame gen

💀

I want the a.i craze to stop

Frame gen is a latency killer

Makes my games feel laggy af

[gilded kraken]

My EVGA 3080 ftw3 gave me a good run though

hope it serves its next owner well

[mortal grail]

3080 still gud

[gilded kraken]

agreed. It shall be missed, got a bit before it will be retired

[hoary zodiac]

3070 mobile still going strong (I don't play AAA games)

[safe cape]

with oled ?

[gilded kraken]

I might go Oled or micro LED when my old trusty predator dies

[hoary zodiac]

It's funny how AMD has the audacity to call the 5900HX a Ryzen 9

[devout forum]

wait

is miniLED available in monitors now?

[hoary zodiac]

It's literally just a slightly better 5800H

AMD marketing 🥱

[nocturne flicker]

Discovered the wonkiness of mobile skus for the first time?

[gilded kraken]

I think so, its real expensive though. On par with OLED

[hoary zodiac]

I'm fairly sure the 5900HX exists to artifically inflate the price

[gilded kraken]

OLED burn in still scares me

[hoary zodiac]

get the top bins

name it something else

ez

[nocturne flicker]

Intel and AMD do that a fair amount on mobile

[hoary zodiac]

free money

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not even gonna touch U chips

[devout forum]

QD-OLED seems to be quite resilient now

[hoary zodiac]

they're even more wonk

[devout forum]

Rtings is doing a hardcore burn-in test with a lot of things

[hoary zodiac]

and then there's also the gpus with stupidly low power limits

landmines everywhere

[devout forum]

and 2nd/3rd gen OLEDs seem to do well

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc, 10th gen mobile i9s were just the high end i7s with like, 200mhz higher boost clocks

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it makes sense why they can't just cram more cores into a laptop

but like

this is very deceptive

and I don't think enough people notices these shenanigans

[nocturne flicker]

Also, 13th gen had the 13650hx

The i7 that was an i5 with 100mhz higher P turbo and an igpu almost as inferior as the bottom of the i5 stack

[cedar compass]

Real benchmarks finally ?

[devout forum]

SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY?????

what the actual hell is Intel thinking????

[mortal grail]

?

They've charged $700 before

Why do you think I said the last gen will be always cheaper lmfao

[deep parcel]

They just added a new plane to war thunder

[somber skiff]

There were athlon 64 single cores at 1k as well

[nocturne flicker]

Stares at threadripper

[somber skiff]

And that's 2000s dollars

[mortal grail]

Wow that's like

2000 dollars

[safe cape]

also the

[cedar compass]

I want upgrade to new intel but I don't have to to build it so just passing for now

Tomorrow is my wedding so

hey uhh

when i isntall .msi files

i get 2 errors

error codes 2502 and 2503

can anyone help?

please?

[wind quail]

That doesn't give much info, do the errors say any wording at all? What kind of msi? Any? Does google have any answers?

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[late trellis]

any msi like epic launcher

[craggy shoal]

Pato "Do the errors say any wording at all? What kind of msi? Any? Does google have any answers?"

This guy: any msi like epic launcher

Man I need to shave

@rancid juniper This is extremely random but don't get T-LCM pedals if you race with your desk chair and don't have a way to make your desk chair stop moving when you push on stiff pedals

Learned this this hard way and already have a 3D printed solution lol

[late trellis]

it only says "The installer has encountered an unexpected error isntalling this package"

[wind quail]

You don't have windows s mode by chance do you?

[late trellis]

whats s mode?

safe mode?

no i dont

[wind quail]

No some stupid windows licence that only lets you install apps from the MS store

[craggy shoal]

ahhhh Windows S mode. Common Windows L

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307

[late trellis]

its off

[wind quail]

To check if your PC is using S-Mode go to Settings > System > About. On the About page, scroll down to the “Windows Specifications” section. If you see the words “in S mode” to the right of the Edition entry, then you're in s mode

[late trellis]

im not seeing it

[wind quail]

Wonder if they allow you to just turn it off with an app now or if it just prompts you to buy a full license lol

[craggy shoal]

idek. such a garbage "feature" of Windows

[wind quail]

Hmmm then I'd google the errors

[craggy shoal]

Run the .msi files as admin

[wind quail]

Also have you been able to install msi files before?

Or is this new pc/always been the case?

[late trellis]

nein

[late trellis]

a

[craggy shoal]

a

bro this may be crazy

but

a

crazy, right?

[wind quail]

That did not answer the question?

The msi files should be auto elevating though asking for admin

[mortal grail]

What specs you got mate

Unexpected error is sus

Anything else happening with the pc?

Like randomly slow?

Always slow?

Long boot

Stuttery?

[late trellis]

i got uhh

Intel i5 3470

16 gigs of ddr3

[craggy shoal]

So Windows 10

[late trellis]

da!

[craggy shoal]

lol

[mortal grail]

Has it been having other problems

[late trellis]

i dont know

[mortal grail]

Hmmm

[craggy shoal]

How long has it been since you've reinstalled Windows?

[mortal grail]

Try this

[late trellis]

idk

[mortal grail]

Go to command prompt as administrator

[late trellis]

im all ears

[mortal grail]

Type

sfc /scannow

See what it comes back with

[craggy shoal]

I need to make a script for that and DISM just to have it on hand

[mortal grail]

Great suggestion

[craggy shoal]

Easy to do I'm just lazy lol

[mortal grail]

Don't worry I'll set it up with the bot

Or get the others to set it up

Lol

I don't do much

[late trellis]

you should watch superwog1

where i show desktop btw?

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I asked my local llama3.1:8b instance and it just spat this out:

49 minutes of lag so far on checking that post

[gleaming sedge]

Hopefully these monitors go on sale next month, I really don't want to drop 700 on them

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's normal if you haven't ran that command in a while. Try it again to be sure. If it does it again, you may have a different issue

You can also try opening the .msi file again to see what happens

[late trellis]

same error

[mortal grail]

That's good. Means that whatever could be wrong isn't so bad the pc is failing

What .msi files are they exactly

Give us the deets

[late trellis]

ahem..

cmake-3.31.0-rc2-windows-i386.msi

and EpicInstaller-15.17.1.msi

also

go to Start and type mrt

[craggy shoal]

Have you tried using the "Windows x64 Installer" option?
https://cmake.org/download/

[late trellis]

but i wanted to compiled UltimMC

(cracked MultiMC

[mortal grail]

Cracked

?

Ok is it just those two

[late trellis]

ITS THE SAME ERROR

[mortal grail]

If it's just those two that are wigging out can you try installing something else

Maybe redownload those files

[late trellis]

other .msi's will probably not work

[mortal grail]

Are we sure tho

It really just needs to be an installer anyway

[craggy shoal]

lol I just installed CMake. I don't need it but I might need it eventually

[mortal grail]

.msi is just one type of package

[late trellis]

i prefer .exes

[craggy shoal]

Is this computer ever restarted or fully shut down?

[late trellis]

uhuh

[craggy shoal]

Just making sure

lol

I went to help a customer and she said "yeah I restarted" (apparently restarting also means closing the laptop's lid so the laptop is on for a whole month)

[pliant berry]

Cracked multi mc? I thought multi was free

[late trellis]

u need to get an mojang account

and u need money

[mortal grail]

Got a new suggestion

Try 7zip

[pliant berry]

That’s called buying minecraft

[late trellis]

ight m8

[craggy shoal]

Minecraft isn't that expensive lol

[mortal grail]

.msi was a file type introduced same year as the cpu

So maybe

PERHAPS

The cpu needs a secondary method

[tranquil pebble]

replying to the thread fixed it.

[late trellis]

i extracted my epic games launcher .msi file...

with 7z

[remote geode]

THANK YOU YouTube for breaking the YT window in Firefox

[mortal grail]

Can you run the installer now

[craggy shoal]

L opinion. Looks perfectly fine for me

[late trellis]

nein

only found direct x installer

[mortal grail]

Have you tried compatibility mode

[late trellis]

where?

[craggy shoal]

He needs the 7-Zip installer, which also comes in a .msi file 💀

[mortal grail]

Right click the .exe file, properties, 2nd tab

Wait it does? Ok so .msi was never the issue then

[craggy shoal]

"To open a MasterLock lock, you can use a MasterLock lock"

[mortal grail]

But still try compatibility mode anyway

[mortal grail]

DON'T QUOTE LOCKPICK LAWYER ON ME

NO

I have no pc man

[craggy shoal]

I will contue to do this 💀

[mortal grail]

How tf am I supposed to remember what's .msi

With no computer

[craggy shoal]

Bruh you have more computers than I do and I have like 8 functional machines wym (including two laptops and a few of my servers) 💀

[mortal grail]

Ya they're all not functional rn

Well, my laptop is but I don't wanna get that out atm

My desk is covered in water loop parts

[craggy shoal]

Make them functional. Just make a really good one out of your spare parts for self hosting and then go insane later

[late trellis]

whats the tabs name?

[mortal grail]

C-
Compatibility

It'll have options saying "Try run this program for windows 8" etc

[late trellis]

it only says run for previous windows version

[mortal grail]

Yes

Bingo

Try it

Try windows 8, 7

[late trellis]

buddy

[craggy shoal]

buddy

[late trellis]

im not gonna downgrade my pc

[mortal grail]

If this doesn't work I'd consider a ram test or checking the disk health

[late trellis]

still doesnt work

i might delete my kernel...

[mortal grail]

It doesn't downgrade it just runs in a simpler shell environment lmao

Ok still doesn't work one sec

https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/

[craggy shoal]

I swear there's no way I'm the only one with this issue:
"We'll include a link in the description"

The description of the video: (doesn't have the link they said they'd include)

[mortal grail]

Try downloading and opening this

It'll tell us the health of the drive you're trying to use

This is like, the last step I can think of before full on ram testing

[late trellis]

which one? normal? Aoi? shizuku?

[craggy shoal]

Lowkey I'm wondering if he's on a hard drive and he's dealing with normal hard drive corruption, given the age of the CPU lol

[mortal grail]

Any

[craggy shoal]

normal

nah don't do shizuku unless you're Joker

[mortal grail]

The others are just more weeb than the normal one

[late trellis]

i only have 3 gigs on my c: left

[craggy shoal]

How big is your drive

(asking for a friend)

;)

[remote geode]

really big

[craggy shoal]

:0

[remote geode]

the biggest out there

its so big we're gonna make microcentre pay for it

[late trellis]

128 gigs

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[remote geode]

uh oh

[craggy shoal]

that's probably a problem

Might even be the problem

[late trellis]

its 91% good

[craggy shoal]

So, probably an SSD (just a wild but probably accurate guess)

[late trellis]

ye

[mortal grail]

Lol

[craggy shoal]

Yeah. Pretty much as long as it says "healthy" (which I think is displayed somewhere in that window)

[mortal grail]

Try getting rid of a lot of files man

[late trellis]

and for the moldy cherry on top, its an Kingfast

[mortal grail]

Nothing wrong with a kingspec

Sometimes installer files manifest errors in that they have no space

[late trellis]

how do i uh

[mortal grail]

Try clearing like 20gb off and try again

Delet

[late trellis]

scan my disk

[mortal grail]

We scanned

[craggy shoal]

Just delete all of the files in the Downloads folder

[late trellis]

but there are important stuffs like steam

[mortal grail]

Just clean ur disk of old files

[remote geode]

should we recommend for them to delete the temp folder kekw

[mortal grail]

I don't make the rules on what fits on your drive

Ssd's want space

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I didn't mention that because I forgot how to get there lol

[remote geode]

it usually has like 5-10GBs stored there

[mortal grail]

If you got no space then yeah it can behave like that

[remote geode]

1. Press WINDOWS ⊞ + R keys together to open the 'Run' dialog.
2. Type %temp% and press ENTER. This opens the 'Temporary Files' folder

[craggy shoal]

Disk Cleanup is the program you'll want. Select the disk (if necessary) and then check the boxes you want to delete

[late trellis]

should i delete all the .tmp folders?

[craggy shoal]

I like mine more. It includes the temp folder I believe

Don't delete the whole temp folder. Just delete everything in it

[mortal grail]

Or

[craggy shoal]

Or

[mortal grail]

For the sake of testing

Or

Just delete a game

10gb

[craggy shoal]

Bro this may sound crazy

but

or

[mortal grail]

Redownload later

Or

Or or

Shut

[late trellis]

can i message u

i need to show smth

[craggy shoal]

just send the screenshot here

bruh

[mortal grail]

Ur green now you can show here

[mortal grail]

I'd just delete a game

[remote geode]

try not dox yourself , just a friendly reminder

[mortal grail]

10gb or something

What in there is a dox

[late trellis]

should i delete the file that opera gx is running?

[craggy shoal]

This guy is using Opera GX

[mortal grail]

Just delete a game man

[late trellis]

n o

[mortal grail]

Overcomplicating this

[remote geode]

just saying, just a precautionary reminder

[mortal grail]

Redownload it later

Delete for now

If the ssd is full and won't use any more data then 🤷‍♂️

[remote geode]

also, snail cat when?

we need a snail cat emote

[late trellis]

nothing changed

[rancid juniper]

Didn't like my pedals either, very uncomfortable and the way it's aligned probably might mess up my foot

[late trellis]

i meant the ssd ammount left

[craggy shoal]

Oh so you already have T-LCM pedals?

[mortal grail]

After deleting a game??

[rancid juniper]

No I just have the standard goofy tmx pedals (only brake/gas)

[late trellis]

i wont delete any game.

[remote geode]

then, you're at your own peril

[mortal grail]

Well if you can't make sufficient space to install then you're possibly stuck mate

[velvet summit]

Delete system 32

[rancid juniper]

Literally me

Ended up getting more ssds

[remote geode]

I vouch for this

🐱

[late trellis]

i store my steam games on my e drive

[rancid juniper]

Fastest USB sticks use type c right?

[craggy shoal]

ahhh yeah the T3PA pedals. I never had issues with them but I wanted an upgrade. My friend doesn't do as much sim racing so I offered me his pedals. I got them for $150 but it's missing the red spring lol

[mortal grail]

Still need space one way or another

Very good chance this is why it errored

[late trellis]

thats it

whenever i want

[rancid juniper]

The red spring seems important

[late trellis]

i will DELETE my kernel

[rancid juniper]

AYO?

Chill

[mortal grail]

💀

[velvet summit]

Who even needs the NT kernel

[remote geode]

🧍‍♂️

[mortal grail]

Bro's taking his own pc hostage

[craggy shoal]

There's also a black spring, which is the spring he had on it when he sold it to me. Idk if that's the stiffer one of the softer one but I like to imagine that it's the stiffer one given how hard I have to press on the brake pedal

[rancid juniper]

Guys restrain him

[remote geode]

I think they need to download additional storage

[mortal grail]

Can't fix a program that refuses to run with 3gb free

[remote geode]

I think a guy made a harder drive out of the internet

[mortal grail]

If it needs 5 then it won't run on 3

Simples

[rancid juniper]

I'd be so frustrated

[late trellis]

its TLauncher's fault

[velvet summit]

I like stiffer brakes
At least if I'm using a sim rig with a fixed chair but my current setup is on a wheeled office chair so if the brake is too stiff I roll back in my chair

[craggy shoal]

A 3D printer to make some wheel stops for your desk chair helps a lot lol

[velvet summit]

💀

[remote geode]

I think you should've checked their requirements for running the installer first

[craggy shoal]

Plus maybe I could just find it for cheap on eBay but I don't feel like doing that rn

[late trellis]

thats it

im done

[craggy shoal]

Reinstall Windows

And get a bigger drive

[velvet summit]

Delete windows and use SteamOS

[remote geode]

Yeah, like, those small windows installs?

[rancid juniper]

Nice

[remote geode]

I think it saves you a good 10gb or something

[late trellis]

what save it

[remote geode]

Iirc at the moment you don't get updates tho

[rancid juniper]

You can get cheap drives on ebay

Literally

[remote geode]

I forgor what's the name of the project

[craggy shoal]

Honestly just get a bigger drive, install the normal version of Windows (using the English World) option and then debloat it once fully installed

[remote geode]

The guy won't uninstall a game

I'm not sure why I even thought they'd be OK with reinstalling windows

[rancid juniper]

If you are using your os drive to store games, you're doing it wrong imo

[remote geode]

XD

[craggy shoal]

I'm surprised he even has at least a single game on that 128GB SSD 💀

[rancid juniper]

128gb???

Lmfao

[craggy shoal]

lol

[remote geode]

my 1TB is dying 🫠

[rancid juniper]

If his computer supports nvme he can get an openbox 512gb 670p for $36

[remote geode]

My D: drive randomly disconnects so I can't trust it with games

[craggy shoal]

If that PC has an M.2 slot it's probably for a SATA M.2 drive

[rancid juniper]

My laptop...

CPU can support pcie but for some reason the company behind the laptop cut corners too hard

Stuck with sata m.2

[craggy shoal]

My Asus VivoBook from 2019 only had a single SATA M.2 slot bruh. Actually was the fastest booting device I've ever had though

[remote geode]

I don't think SSD SATA drives aren't that bad for boot devices

[rancid juniper]

Well, I guess since the laptop is still functional I don't have to be too mad

No they aren't

[craggy shoal]

Oh it's not functional anymore lol

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[craggy shoal]

Soldered cheap RAM but the RAM is dying. It's having static audio and a stuttering mouse even after a Windows reinstallation

[remote geode]

Solder more RAM

[rancid juniper]

I just like nvmes more because of their quicker response times and obvious r/w speeds

[rancid juniper]

Bro went jank mode

[mortal grail]

I mean the remaining steps are diagnosing potentially broken hardware so up to you

I'd be happy if all I needed was to re-download a game

@mortal grail is 285k good yet

Is it cheaper than 14900k yet

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry the shareholders love it, the stock is up a dollar and ten cents or so since the videos started dropping

[atomic mist]

The 12900k crushes it in flight sim

[velvet summit]

holy hell it took me like an hour to change out my ups batteries

didnt help that i had to be under my desk because of the rats nest of cables

I got an older peerless assassin

And i doesnt have an upgrade path in the book for am5

But on pc part picker says can be used on am5

What do i do

[hoary zodiac]

do they sell mounting brackets?

[north crescent]

Prolly need a ublock origin filter for that. There is UBO for mobile right?

[tranquil pebble]

yes, on Firefox which is what I use

[spark halo]

I have all the brackets… i think

Hmm

Okay so i guess it uses the same sizes due to its conversion

For am4

[hoary zodiac]

maybe their customer support could help out?

[spark halo]

Was just on their support page

[hoary zodiac]

if they're anything like noctua's

has anyone seen any good bundles from humble bundle recently

feel like I haven't seen anything good for a year

[spark halo]

Depends

If you rp

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah the rpg bundles are nice

[spark halo]

Yeah rpg dnd, pathfinder bundles

Warhammer books and now this month warhammer fantasy rpg bundle

Back to back to back

In books

[hoary zodiac]

in terms of video games tho

It's been kinda mid

[spark halo]

Negative.

Back 4 blood on sale though 90% off

Even it is a mid game you buy the ultimate edition for 10 bucks

Solid game

Read the reviews it all related to one aspect

Price

Dropped 1500 in parts today

[hoary zodiac]

It's the same price on steam so

they're probably just doing a global sale

if your microwave is glowing you might have a problem

[rancid juniper]

It caught fire for a bit

Unplugged it

[dusk knot]

By less than 5 percent

🙂

[tranquil pebble]

unplugged and I hope you let it smother itself instead of opening it while there was a flame

Well, short of having an extinguisher on hand ofc

[rancid juniper]

I do have one extinguisher available

Api changes u dont have it .. what ever they change

Api/sdk config whatever

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah just a system update is needed most likely

which I will do now

it was just funny seeing it

[wary fjord]

A14 im getting used to it now xD. But i cant still get used to gestures.. i really still need the touch screen bottom buttons

If i master gestures its gonna give me more view

you can change that in settings

iOS is a no go for me

[wary fjord]

Why

[tranquil pebble]

no real Firefox for one thing

[chrome portal]

Still working on my sword

[wary fjord]

Ios seems popular for old people.. i seen old people preferred it.. the ui seems easy to learn

Android keeps changing.. xD

[tranquil pebble]

ios is a good os but it is run by a tyrannical company that doesn't let competition on their platform for stuff like browsers

hopefully EU eventually forces them to settle down

[wary fjord]

Its hard to get approved by the apple store i think

Us android users are blessed with sideloading.. but i heard android gonna remove sideloading

🤔

[tranquil pebble]

False. It is adding one additional step to do it.

Multiple articles were posted about it with misleading headlines because journalism moment

[wary fjord]

Yeah figured.... But still thats sad if it happened

I want my Spotify amoled patch version xD

Just a theme

[tranquil pebble]

it sucks that absolutely everything has to be monetized in every possible way

[wary fjord]

What you mean ... Do you have ads?

[tranquil pebble]

no I don't but there are devices that do have lock screen ads

[wary fjord]

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

and part of what Google is planning now for Android 15 is to make apps be able to detect side loading and basically say nope. Android is getting DRM

[wary fjord]

Which one

[tranquil pebble]

Amazon devices mostly

[wary fjord]

Thats evil

But in the same time more profit

not really? it's just the biggest? vtuber management group currently (in terms of revenue?)

i was about to say, "But Series S has 365GB of available free space!"

[tranquil pebble]

No game on Xbox will exceed 365 GB this gen for base game...

that is an absolute hard cap that Microsoft will enforce if need be

[misty sparrow]

actually it shouldn't be 365GB for the limit

it should really be a few GB less to make room for screenshots and save games

[tranquil pebble]

it is likely less, yes

point is, if a game can not fit on Series S 512 GB... it can not be published on Xbox

[young matrix]

it saying 315 GB is in fact a bug in the Xbox app

the one or both of the two cablemod 4x6+2 to 12vhpwr connections from back of the 1600w PSU I use to the GPU is bad

The new 12vhpwr tentacles they sell are excellent

how did I finally figure this out? well, the cables were sticking out of the PSU shroud in a way that I did not like

It only needs one so maybe it works?

but I tried using the adapters that came with the GPU

that make the GPU look like it has dreadlocks or Predator

[mortal grail]

Octopus

Lol

[idle nexus]

no issue at all

[mortal grail]

Interesting

Yeah I buy it

Give cablemod.a holler they might even replace it for free

Test both

[idle nexus]

so I suspect that inside one of these cables there's a crappy splice

[mortal grail]

Yeah

[idle nexus]

that sometimes makes electrical contact

& other times doesn't

[mortal grail]

Yeah
