i said osu or osu lazer???

[mortal grail]

Cos we know the one you just did blue screens

[cedar compass]

[unkempt remnant]

@mortal grail

[mortal grail]

Ok next question

Did you have any overclocking enabled

[unkempt remnant]

i used to have nvidia over clock enabled

[mortal grail]

Any cpu or ram?

[unkempt remnant]

but i disabled it when this problem started happening a couple months ago

[unkempt remnant]

ram

[mortal grail]

Ok

[unkempt remnant]

new ram?

[mortal grail]

Try the same tests again but do CMOS clear first

This time

[unkempt remnant]

what’s that

[mortal grail]

Do the other two slots

[mortal grail]

CMOS clear you need to google, it basically factory resets the motherboard

It won't wipe your windows

[unkempt remnant]

i had my ram in the 2nd and 4th slot

[mortal grail]

Each motherboard has a different cmos clear

Ya so do 1 and 3 next

[unkempt remnant]

so put it in 1st and 3rd?

alr

[mortal grail]

Ya

And cmos clear this time

So no XMP nothing

[unkempt remnant]

alright

im abt to try

i am NOT built for this

okay

so i put it in the 1st nd 3rd slot

now cmos

[unkempt remnant]

is there like a tutorial

[mortal grail]

Ye

If you google your exact motherboard name you can download the manual

[unkempt remnant]

hold on i must’ve put my 1st ram in wrong

[mortal grail]

Other thing you can do

Remove the power

at the back

[unkempt remnant]

yeah i’ve been doing that

[mortal grail]

Then remove the button battery on the motherboard

Then hold the power button for 10 seconds

the power on button

Then put the battery back, fire it up

[rigid seal]

quick question its not really troubleshooting but is there an option to preven ur pc from shutting down when u put it to sleep

[mortal grail]

Pick sleep and not hibernate

If that doesn't work, no

[velvet summit]

Reinstall windows if your PC is shutting down when you tell your PC to sleep

[mortal grail]

Different boards/pc's have different sleep protocols

[mortal grail]

Like half my pc's do this lmao

[velvet summit]

Windows might just be broke

[mortal grail]

Do I reinstall

[velvet summit]

I fixed weird sleep issues by reinstalling once

So idk

[mortal grail]

I would call that great sleep tbh

[velvet summit]

Could be the hardware though perhaps

[mortal grail]

With my schedule

[velvet summit]

But I know my PC was able to sleep prior

It just broke one day

[rigid seal]

like it goes to sleep for a bit but if im not using it for a period of time it just shuts down, havent found a major problem with it but was just wondering if there was a way to turn it off

[velvet summit]

💀

[mortal grail]

Can I borrow ur pc's melatonin

[velvet summit]

I got some melatonin in these hands

[mortal grail]

My laptop does exactly this by design

[velvet summit]

👊

[rigid seal]

interesting

[mortal grail]

It could be intentional

[rigid seal]

i mean im not complaining

[mortal grail]

I get you

I believe control panel?

[unkempt remnant]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali560/p/N82E16883360190

[mortal grail]

You may be able to configure it

[unkempt remnant]

this is the pc i hve

have

which motherboard

[mortal grail]

Idk

The motherboard will say so right on it

Lol

Like near the ram, maybe under the gpu

It'll say a name like

ASUS PRIME

MSI PRO

Or something like that

[unkempt remnant]

man i’m sorry im not that smart when it comes to this

i just bought a prebuilt 😭

[mortal grail]

I get that but the article unfortunately doesn't specify a motherboard

It says "B560" when there's like 20 of them

[rigid seal]

lemme check rq

[mortal grail]

I was close

Don't look at my shameful carbon emissions

Ignore that

I'm a good boi I swear

😭

[rigid seal]

lmao

bro

[mortal grail]

NO DON'T SHAME MEH

[rigid seal]

i had it set to hibernate after an hr im done

[mortal grail]

[unkempt remnant]

im going to try to find it before my pc shuts down

[mortal grail]

Alr

[unkempt remnant]

found a vid how to

[mortal grail]

Do you recognise this

[unkempt remnant]

uh

no

[mortal grail]

There should be one on the motherboard

[unkempt remnant]

is it in my pc somewherw

[mortal grail]

There always is

Ye

[unkempt remnant]

i need to remove it?

[mortal grail]

Find that, pop it out, with the power unplugged, press the power switch for 10 seconds, put it back, turn pc on

It's sometimes behind the ***GPU

[unkempt remnant]

oh yeah i can’t remove that 😭

[mortal grail]

GPU

SORRY

LOL

[unkempt remnant]

ok so my 1st ram slot doesn’t work

[mortal grail]

Ya you should try cmos clear

Just trying slots now won't lead us anywhere

CMOS first

[unkempt remnant]

alrighr cmos

[mortal grail]

Hey you're green now

[unkempt remnant]

i’ll paypal u 15 for helping me if it fixes bruh 😭

[mortal grail]

You can send a pic

It's fine yo

Lmao

[unkempt remnant]

alrighr

[mortal grail]

Send a pic of your motherboard

[unkempt remnant]

hold on i have to unplug everything

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/tip-leave-a-tip-add-a-tip-tipping-no-tip-gif-12107720648261453692

[unkempt remnant]

again

[mortal grail]

Theo tip me 14900k

I'll say 285K is best

[unkempt remnant]

no bruh bc my pc been broke for so long and idk how to fix it 😭

i bought bo6 and i cant even play it

why i bought it on a broken pc dont ask

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

[unkempt remnant]

is this good

@mortal grail

[lone mango]

Evga spotted

[mortal grail]

Send second pic from lower angle

Under GPU

[lone mango]

[unkempt remnant]

ouu that’s hella dusty

ngl i never checked under here

lemme clean it rq

[lone mango]

The audio cable

[unkempt remnant]

ITS A PREBUILT

[lone mango]

Its nbd

[unkempt remnant]

dk what that means

[unkempt remnant]

@mortal grail

[lone mango]

No big deal

[mortal grail]

Wtf

Where's the cmos

Am I blind guys

[unkempt remnant]

i see it

it’s right under the gpu

[mortal grail]

Ya the battery

I can't find the header

[unkempt remnant]

see

[mortal grail]

Ye

The manual says there's a header

I FOUDN ITTT

OK

Bottom right corner

This

This little thin above the other pins

[unkempt remnant]

yeah im confuzzled

[mortal grail]

Looks like this

That's CMOS

With the power off at the back

Find like a nail, iron screwdriver, paperclip?

touch those two pins at the same time and bridge them

For 10 seconds

That's a cmos reset

[unkempt remnant]

hm okay

it’s like the time i hot wired a kia

[mortal grail]

Ya

💀

[unkempt remnant]

i dont have a screwdriver

but i have a drill

😭

[mortal grail]

Lol that works

It just needs to be a metal...thing

💀

[unkempt remnant]

alright time to find the other things

[unkempt remnant]

will a hair clip work

[mortal grail]

Is it metal

I think a fork works but make sure your hands are bone dry

And you can't touch any other pins while you do it

[unkempt remnant]

shi lets do it

[mortal grail]

Just those two so preferably something smaller

[unkempt remnant]

ima use a fork

[mortal grail]

Ok MAKE SURE POWER IS UNPLUGGED

[unkempt remnant]

it is

[mortal grail]

JUST IN CASE

Ok good

And your hands are bone dry

[unkempt remnant]

they are i think

kinda sweaty

so my drill broke but this all i need for success right

[mortal grail]

Just to be safe, wipe them dry lol

Ya

It's 3.3v and low current but I don't want you thinking I'm intending to kill

If you can't keep them dry cover the fork in tissues

Tissues are dry lol

[unkempt remnant]

my hands are dry 😭

[mortal grail]

Ok

Give it a whirl

Try clearing cmos

[unkempt remnant]

THIS WAS DROM MY PC?

idk where this is ngl

😭

mb

[mortal grail]

Bottom right of motherboard

Above a bunch of other pins

[mortal grail]

CLRTC

[unkempt remnant]

my bottom right

[mortal grail]

Ya

[unkempt remnant]

ouuu i see it

ok what now

[mortal grail]

Just those two pins

10 seconds

[unkempt remnant]

of touching them

with the nail

[mortal grail]

Ye

Touching both

[unkempt remnant]

i have to use all 3????

[mortal grail]

No just 1

💀

[unkempt remnant]

oh bruh wtf 😭😭😭😭

i deadass got all 3

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[mortal grail]

LMAO

[unkempt remnant]

BRO I was finna get my sibling if i needed all the

three

LMAO

[mortal grail]

I was wondering why you were going on a scavenger hunt

[unkempt remnant]

shi idk

like this

[mortal grail]

You got this

[unkempt remnant]

that’s how i’m supposed to do it?

[mortal grail]

Yup

Just bridge them for 10 seconds

[unkempt remnant]

ima do it for 10 more seconds just in case

[mortal grail]

Sure

[unkempt remnant]

i’m not a genius man

bridge them

[mortal grail]

Bridge like

Join

Put the nail on both at once

Make metal bridge

💀

[unkempt remnant]

man i’m already confused

u do u have a demonstration

😭😭😭

[mortal grail]

Like that

Easy right

(JBAT is CLRTC on another motherboard)

[mortal grail]

Ye touch it a little

💀

[unkempt remnant]

alright

so

i touched the pins

with the fork

for 20 seconds

[mortal grail]

Ok sweet

Hook it all back up

Try boot to windows again

One more thing

This pc is how old?

[unkempt remnant]

2 years

you want me to

put the ram back

2nd and 4th

[mortal grail]

Nope 1st and 3rd

[unkempt remnant]

1st doesn’t work

idk why

[mortal grail]

Interesting

[unkempt remnant]

ima retry

[mortal grail]

Like

not at all??

[unkempt remnant]

it wouldn’t turn the ram on

ima retry tho just case

in case

[mortal grail]

Reseat it ye

[unkempt remnant]

okay so that was myf big bro i didn’t have it in right

but new problem

i have it in right

now

[mortal grail]

Ok

[unkempt remnant]

pc on

monitors not

wait

i’m slow

hold one

on

[mortal grail]

On?

Can take a minute

[unkempt remnant]

okay yeah

[mortal grail]

Go straight to windows

Skip any bios stuff

[unkempt remnant]

it’s not turning on

[mortal grail]

Just go straight for it

[unkempt remnant]

the monitors

[mortal grail]

Take another pick of the monitors

Sorry

motherboard

Not monitors

Tell me when that orange light goes off

[unkempt remnant]

orange light still on

[mortal grail]

Fascinating

Turn the pc off

Try 1 ram stick

slot 4

[unkempt remnant]

alright

[mortal grail]

I suspect a very simple outcome here, or an extremely complex one

My 5% is piqued

[unkempt remnant]

hm

orange light still on

ima try the other ram stick

[mortal grail]

Yep yep

[unkempt remnant]

my rgb light on my cpu

isn’t on either

[mortal grail]

Is fine

Normal

[unkempt remnant]

that increases performance

[mortal grail]

For now it's normal cos orange light

[unkempt remnant]

alright alright

[velvet summit]

100x performance of 0 performance = 0 performance

[unkempt remnant]

true

[mortal grail]

@unkempt remnant lmk when the other stick fails

[thorn quartz]

Anyone with sm experience on machine learning? idk if my model train and val loss are okay

[unkempt remnant]

wyd’

wym*

[mortal grail]

Well I know the solution if oonly one fails now

Or both

I'm really confident now

Lol

I'm waging that they both fail

[unkempt remnant]

alr ima try the other stick

[mortal grail]

Ye

[unkempt remnant]

if they both fail i just need new ram?

[mortal grail]

Nyope

[unkempt remnant]

oh no..

new pc???

[mortal grail]

Nope

If you got like, $5

We good fam

[unkempt remnant]

oh yeah i most def got 5

😭

[mortal grail]

You owned this pc for a while?

[unkempt remnant]

yeah

[mortal grail]

Like maybe a year, 2?

[unkempt remnant]

2 years

never had any problems until now

[mortal grail]

Yep I'm like really sure what's wrong

Lol

Need to know what that last ram stick test does tho

[unkempt remnant]

okay mb lemme do it

okay so idk why now

2nd stick doesn’t work

i have it in correctly

[mortal grail]

Ok so both failed yeah?

[unkempt remnant]

yeah

[mortal grail]

Ok remember that battery we talked about

[unkempt remnant]

yeah

[mortal grail]

Turn off the pc, put the ram stick back in to slot 2

So both back in

[unkempt remnant]

behind my gpu

[mortal grail]

What I am like

99% sure of rn

[idle nexus]

I blame contact fretting

I always blame that now

[mortal grail]

That battery is cooked

[unkempt remnant]

😭

[mortal grail]

New battery should fix it

CR2032 Button battery

$5

Pops right out

[unkempt remnant]

where do i get it from

[mortal grail]

Put the new one in

Ez

Supermarket man

[unkempt remnant]

bro

thing is

idk how to take my gpu out

and put it back in

[idle nexus]

auto parts store should have them for unlock/lock clicker thingies

[mortal grail]

Youtube honestly has a tutorial that applies to every motherboard

It's super easy

Unscrew like 2 screws, unclip from the board, unclip the cables

It pops out

They're all the same pretty much

[idle nexus]

lol tRAS 28 at 8400c36 doesn't wanna cooperate

I want 10k+ heck

need arrows lakes

[unkempt remnant]

i’m guessing these are the 2

[idle nexus]

noo

[mortal grail]

nyope

[idle nexus]

that's for your NVMe heatstink

[mortal grail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT8cmEbrQnU

[unkempt remnant]

wow

[mortal grail]

Watch vid

It shows you how to take it out

And how to put it back (Assume the same gpu)

All pc's do it the same way

With the exception of like a handful uber expensive boards

[unkempt remnant]

honestly i think i can do that

[mortal grail]

Ya man

[unkempt remnant]

i might as well get a new battery after work

[mortal grail]

Ya

Lmk if we were right

The timing lines up

[unkempt remnant]

what type is it

[mortal grail]

Those batteries last around ~2 years

[mortal grail]

Ok with that settled let us know if it works out

[idle nexus]

what drains that heckin thing anyway? just normal use or are there circumstances where it drains more quickly than others?

[mortal grail]

Normal use

[idle nexus]

never realized PC wouldn't POST w/o it tbh

they usually last awhile

[mortal grail]

Once the rated 3.3v drops past a certain point it turns the motherboard postal

2 years is a normal lifetime

[idle nexus]

heck I think I have a Z490 with the original CMOS battery that still fires up lol

[mortal grail]

My X570S lasted 3-4 years iirc

We've had people last 1 year lmao

[unkempt remnant]

this good?

ima just order it

[mortal grail]

Ye

[unkempt remnant]

to be sure i get the right one

[mortal grail]

Looks good

2032's go in lots of stuff

[idle nexus]

like uh car fobs & um PCs

that's all I got ngl

anything with a clock? lol

[mortal grail]

Yup

Lol

Clocks

Watches

Remotes

Detectors

[idle nexus]

I've only seen the like mini versions of those things in watches

[mortal grail]

Even cameras or small torches

Quite a few things

Anyway I'm hungry af so ima jet now

[idle nexus]

which reminds me, I need to get batteries for my watch lol

[mortal grail]

@unkempt remnant lmk if it works yo

[idle nexus]

maybe mine last longer cuz I clear CMOS so much

those like .5 seconds breaks really add up

lol

[unkempt remnant]

igu

[mortal grail]

Probably more likely the many weeks between with benching

And with that ima fr jet

👋

[idle nexus]

hwinfo gives you CMOS battery voltage iirc

not that it's of any help here or anything

hmm maybe not ig

[mortal grail]

If they have a sensor yeah

[idle nexus]

Dark doesn't apparently but I remember seeing it on Taichi

[worthy meteor]

That is going to end up quite dirty

[sudden acorn]

I'm about to go crazy I think. I've been making build lists on the site for the past week almost non-stop in my free time. I don't know why I can't just pull the trigger on one, but my mental is 100% suffering from trying to lock in on something.

[unkempt remnant]

i think i broke one of my ram sticks tho

it is NOT working

ima just buy a new one

[worthy meteor]

Another 2 weeks and 9000x3d might be here

[proud jackal]

why get it when 285k is here

[worthy meteor]

Why get 285k when worse than 14900k smh

[sudden acorn]

I had lists with the 7950x3d, but did manage to decide to stay Intel again. Current rig is from 2011, so Intel has done well for me I suppose.

[worthy meteor]

The AMD announcement is scheduled for Nov 7 iirc, but we'll have to see when the actual launch and how the stock will be

[sudden acorn]

Having the new intel stuff drop mid-list building scared me until I saw the results, maybe in a few more years they'll be worth it? I dont think my rig will last that long waiting though.

[proud jackal]

[worthy meteor]

Intel is just fumbling this generation

[sudden acorn]

The 13th/14th gen intel issues have been resolved haven't they?

[worthy meteor]

Instability, yes as far as we know with 0x12b

[sudden acorn]

https://newegg.io/858aaff vs https://newegg.io/8d26dd4 I'm bouncing between these. Both using the 14900k so I hope they did. :/

[proud jackal]

i bought a 14900k recently and on new bios and its working smoothly so far

[sudden acorn]

I suppose my real issue is having not built a pc in almost 14 years, tech changes every month and I don't keep up, so I'm just pissing in the wind and hoping I don't get myself wet.

[proud jackal]

question, why are you getting a BTF motherboard?

[worthy meteor]

Well uh there's a lot I'd change with this list even if you stick with 14900k

[sudden acorn]

If I go white, the btf is just to have a cleaner look. My current build is all black, no rgb, and I did paracord covers on the wiring.

[worthy meteor]

Btf is only compatible with certain cases iirc

[proud jackal]

alright

yes

[worthy meteor]

All the stuff wires in the back mobos are

oh wait 3500x is on the list nvm

[sudden acorn]

I'm more than open to suggestions. All I did was brand match at the end of the day, based on surely bias reviews. Traditionally, matching brands equals compatibility, but I'm sure that's just non-sense in my head.

[worthy meteor]

What is your goal with the build and your budget?

[sudden acorn]

I'm a bit of a jack of all trades so one week I might be running visual studio or photoshop/lightroom, the next I'm rendering a scene in Blender. Add gaming/streaming between and my current i7 3770k and 1070ti are screaming at me. 32gb of ddr3 is also dogwater now.

I'm trying to stay around 3-3.5k, the monitors I have selected are 270 elsewhere currently, so the price is a bit inflated, most other things are within $5 of everywhere else.

[worthy meteor]

With the price of the monitors I'd lean heavily into getting a nice OLED panel and then a secondary panel for the screen real estate

[sinful blade]

@sudden acorn do you have a budget+purpose for the build?

Oh wait

You just asked

[sudden acorn]

A buddy made that suggestion, but he also changed the list to a 4080 super and changed a couple other things to try to save money, it was almost 4k with just the one OLED and that 4080S swap.

[sinful blade]

I’d suggest a 7900 GRE or xtx instead

[proud jackal]

but raytracing

[rancid juniper]

What's your buddy's target resolution and what games do they play?

[rancid juniper]

Pay $$$$$$$ for 10% visual uplift

-jensen

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R9FMfy

[sudden acorn]

He was pushing me to run 4k instead of 1440. Not sure why, I'd rather be top of the line 1440 than bottom of the line 4k, if what I read about the two was correct at least.

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9gppjH

[rancid juniper]

7900XT or XTX from amd should be good for 4k

As for Nvidia, a 4070ti super/4080

[sweet phoenix]

Disagreed

4k overrated

[rancid juniper]

It is

[sweet phoenix]

4080 can't handle high/ultra above 60 fps across the board at 4k

[rancid juniper]

Gotta use dlss 💀

[sweet phoenix]

Which is just sad

[worthy meteor]

btw m482 eco pack 2tb is still $100

[sweet phoenix]

Also a good choice

M480 pro is better but unless you're doing 4k video transfer or some other weird workstation task it won't make a difference

[worthy meteor]

and we can still fit in a second 1440p180 panel in for screen space for $170

[rancid juniper]

I wish nvmes could go cheaper again like it did around late 2022-2023

[worthy meteor]

honestly I think they're so close that m482 can pull ahead with just run to run variation

[rancid juniper]

Dang I can't oc my monitor from 170-180hz, bad

Gonna return

[north crescent]

Put it on a custom loop

That's the secret to monitor OC

[mortal grail]

[worthy meteor]

custom loop monitor eh

[mortal grail]

I was gone like 30 minutes, what are you lemons doing

What's this about a monitor loop

[rancid juniper]

Custom loop monitor sounds dope

[mortal grail]

New market for EK

[worthy meteor]

what even is the limitation for monitors

signal integrity?

[rancid juniper]

Customers: "I ain't buying it this time"

[mortal grail]

Screen heat

Oled cooling blocks

[worthy meteor]

is it really heat?

[mortal grail]

[rancid juniper]

Maybe?

[mortal grail]

For quite a few yeah

[worthy meteor]

huh

[rancid juniper]

One of the limitations is the display cable imo

[mortal grail]

Pixel burn-in is triggered by heat

So brightness is directly driven by monitor temp

[rancid juniper]

I think my DP cable can only do up to 170hz?

Eh idk

[worthy meteor]

just slap a heatsink on

[mortal grail]

Just cool it brah

EK dp watercooling block

[rancid juniper]

Na imma COOK IT

[mortal grail]

$150

[rancid juniper]

wild price

[worthy meteor]

is ekwb still making new blocks?

[proud jackal]

are they paying their employees?

[rancid juniper]

Doubt

[proud jackal]

[worthy meteor]

reportedly not so

[sweet phoenix]

M482 eco doesn't have dram and has worse nand

Worse controller too iirc

M480 pro is sn850x/p41 platinum area

[worthy meteor]

honestly bics6 shouldn't be worse than b47r, the controller is worse with hmb but it should still be competitive

[sweet phoenix]

It just only matters when high speed continuous transfers are needed, which is not often

[worthy meteor]

$100 is just a much better pricepoint imo

[mortal grail]

Fittings $30 per piece

[sweet phoenix]

$20 isn't too big a deal with a $2500 list tbf

[mortal grail]

Screen heatsink $700

[rancid juniper]

[worthy meteor]

although we could just go to 4tb and grab a 4tb xs70

[sweet phoenix]

Are the issues fixed w it? I forget exactly what they were

Felix do you remember xs70 issue?

[mortal grail]

The 4tb having ass performance ye?

[worthy meteor]

wasnt it the 2tb one with the ymtc nand issue

think 4tb is e18+b47r only

[mortal grail]

It probably was

[rancid juniper]

I know why windows won't send the 24H2 update to my PC, it has an SN770 as boot drive

[sweet phoenix]

S70 is valid
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Bf9wrH/adata-xpg-gammix-s70-blade-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-agammixs70b-4t-cs

Or gm7000 for another $5

[mortal grail]

I haven't looked at anything xs70 for like 5 months

Lmao

[rancid juniper]

This is $70?

[sweet phoenix]

Same

[worthy meteor]

s70 blade should be the same hardware as xs70 4tb but yea

[sweet phoenix]

I think sp was swapping the controller on the xs70

[worthy meteor]

ye the 2tb one has a variant that's ymtc nand and innogrit something controller

[sweet phoenix]

Ahh ok

[worthy meteor]

only known 4tb variant is e18 + b47r

there was also some problems with the combination of the ymtc nand and the innogrit controller but I think that got resolved later on

[dusk knot]

Hm.

[mental yoke]

guys I need help. the RGB lights on my PC stays on after shutdown. What can I do to stop this

[topaz crown]

Hello @mental yoke! 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.

[mental yoke]

no

[cursive oasis]

Hey, so my friend's PC will sometimes jump to a black screen while playing a game. It'll still be playing the audio of the game, meaning the game is still going, but the display goes completely black and I know the problem isn't the monitor

[mortal grail]

Driver reset/crash. Do DDU

[mortal grail]

Setting is available in bios (I don't have time for a tutorial

[tranquil pebble]

What would be a good program for editing gifs with? (that isnt Adobe)

[deep parcel]

Photopea can edit gifs

https://www.photopea.com/learn/animations

I use photoshop 2021 for editing gifs though

im still on 2021 because of reasons....

[tranquil pebble]

let me guess... the Adobe AI stuff

A very valid reason if so

[deep parcel]

no, because of money lol

[clear orchid]

what is the core ratio i can set in bios for an i7 12700kf?

im having crashing issues in a game and one of the solutions is to put the core ratio for cpu at 52 (but i am on 12700kf, just wanted to check if thats fine)

[north crescent]

Davinci Resolve, but that is a bit overkill ig

[tranquil pebble]

cant download without registering. Cringe.

[north crescent]

Fake email works

[tranquil pebble]

Already have enough companies sending me marketing crap

[dusk knot]

Hm..

[tranquil pebble]

they ask for street address and such too

[north crescent]

Fake info still works

[tranquil pebble]

said invalid when I tried that lol

[tranquil pebble]

Eh, read the privacy policy and they wont do anything I care about with it so whatever

[nocturne flicker]

Privacy Policy Update we will install malware on your PC to verify your sign up info and sell everything you do to shady third parties

[nocturne flicker]

Pipes screensaver on tv or riot

[tranquil pebble]

tried a gif with it and the program just gave me errors

wrong tool for the job

[nocturne flicker]

I guess you could say Davinci couldn't Resolve

[tranquil pebble]

I literally just want something I can open a gif, easily edit each frame/apply effects then export... without learning how to navigate through a trillion features I do not need.

[trail nest]

hi chat let's talk about gaming laptops

[tranquil pebble]

you mean those portable furnaces that play games?

[misty sparrow]

it would be nice if i could get all the features in newer tvs but in dumb tvs

no internet, no ads, nothing built-in but still has oled

[tranquil pebble]

At this point I hope people jailbreak it with custom firmware

[north crescent]

I've done gifs in it before

[tranquil pebble]

Any attempt to export just says Error.

probably will just stick to using GIMP for now

I just wish I could easily apply edits to multiple layers at once

[north crescent]

Krita is a painting program that supports gifs

I've just tested it

[pliant berry]

imagine a smart tv that was so smart it can detect when you pause playback and immediately bombard you with an ad that cannot be closed. But this is on an app that already shows ads when paused so you just have ads on top of ads

[north crescent]

And you just so happened to pause on a sponsorship in the video, so ads on top of ads on top of ads

[pliant berry]

[rancid juniper]

computer

[deep parcel]

Tried to send you a dm but cant. Was going to see if you wanted to try something else that works well but cant talk about here.

[tranquil pebble]

try again, I opened DM

[storm narwhal]

I literally filled in gibberish emails and somewhat believable names and every time it's worked

But davinci has a big curve

It's super useful though, has motion tracking and audio mixing, color grading etc

[tranquil pebble]

I figured out some of the UI already on my own

pretty cool effects in it ngl

[velvet summit]

blackmagic doesnt really send marketing emails much ngl

i dont think they've sent me any emails since i signed up a few years ago? at least not that i've seen

[pliant berry]

tbf you can unsubscribe to them

[tranquil pebble]

That is good. I am a bit cautious these days due to the amount of spam I have ended up getting both email and sms

[velvet summit]

yeah i've only gotten like 1 update email from them

[pliant berry]

really the only marketing emails I have been getting in my inbox lately is duolingo and tailscale lol

[velvet summit]

idk if i had not clicked the marketing checkbox or what, but i havent gotten any marketing

[storm narwhal]

Lmao

I did give my actual email like once

Not many

[velvet summit]

i have 2 emails, one for most random things that ends up piling up junk

[tranquil pebble]

Unsub from emails do not always work in my experience

[pliant berry]

I use apple's email proxy sometimes if I happen to sign up for it on my phone

[storm narwhal]

I forget if they even sent any

[velvet summit]

another for less junk and more communication

[storm narwhal]

Unsub and block

Ez

[velvet summit]

though still a fair bit of marketing though i do kinda look through some (i like looking at random stuff vevor has 💀)

[pliant berry]

on my other email its just a bunch of marketing for lottiefiles and payroll companies

was too lazy to unsub

[velvet summit]

oh yeah i also get like weekly emails from rtings

[weak cedar]

I only have few decent ones and mostly junk

[velvet summit]

and also the occasional marketing from uline lmao

[tranquil pebble]

Sometimes I want marketing emails, but usually not

[storm narwhal]

Maybe j should use a new spam gmail kekw

[velvet summit]

truly a vevor moment

[weak cedar]

Also Bing rewards if anyone does that

[pliant berry]

man amazon must just hate me

[random osprey]

i dont have theo luck to win any giveaways

[pliant berry]

this happens literally every time I ordered from them... I just ended up cancelling and ordering from b&h since they are open now

[velvet summit]

💀

[pliant berry]

a gimbal

was going to use it for a project this weekend but I guess not

[proud jackal]

@pliant berry are you the audio or mouse guy

[pliant berry]

[velvet summit]

[pliant berry]

[sinful blade]

Theo
You got any trash?

[dusk knot]

Damn

[proud jackal]

[sinful blade]

…I can probably resell that for a single pc fan…

[proud jackal]

yeah, good mids and highs, missing lows

[velvet summit]

theo eaten wrappers

[sinful blade]

I love how I barely make profit on any customer builds and then it all goes to bills

[pliant berry]

wow they have a bit of connectivity, nice. I hope they work well for you.
Personally I have a pair of Kali Audio LP6 on stands into my motu m2. I'd say a bit cheaper than yours but they sound pretty nice. Only really lack in the sub bass

[sinful blade]

I need like 3 grand

Just to take me out of debt

[proud jackal]

im just bad with money

dont worry

[sinful blade]

Be bad with money for me

[velvet summit]

i want speakers that use speakon connectors
they are kinda cool

[sinful blade]

[velvet summit]

completely useless for home use though

kinda

[pliant berry]

you bad with money? I just spent 1200usd on a gimbal because 2 people asked if I had

[sinful blade]

What is a gimbal

[random osprey]

stabilizer

[proud jackal]

i spent 1400~ on intel 285k and z890 apex

[pliant berry]

like stabilizer for camera

[sinful blade]

Ah

[velvet summit]

physical camera stabilizer yeah

[pliant berry]

[random osprey]

thats gonna be ghosty with the gimbal

[sinful blade]

My old pc cost 1/4 of that

what

[velvet summit]

1.2k for a gimbal, is it the kind that you would have a back harness for

or like, is it the kind that wolfgang sent

[proud jackal]

ITS OKAY INTEL WILL FIX IT

[pliant berry]

ye im just gonna swing it around like that too

[proud jackal]

THEN ILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH

[pliant berry]

I don't have copium emote so I just use 🐒

[proud jackal]

upload one to the server

youre a mod

[pliant berry]

u right

[velvet summit]

honestly swinging it like that without moving the camera much is kinda impressive? because that camera barely moved from its initial position lmao

and it's quite heavy

decent sized lens on that thing

[pliant berry]

ye it is kinda impressive

[pliant berry]

lmao

[deep parcel]

I vote to add 200 animated theo emojis

💀

[proud jackal]

wat are you working on

[tranquil pebble]

get a $10,000 Quadro

[grand kernel]

image classification

there's a class-wide competition for extra credit

trying to push the limits of what models i can train

💀

i think i found them

[craggy shoal]

Easy solution: just get an H100

[grand kernel]

you right

you think my school will fund it?

[craggy shoal]

depends

public or private school?

[pliant berry]

yes they will

[craggy shoal]

nahhh ain't no way 💀

[grand kernel]

public xd

[craggy shoal]

heck nah

[dusk knot]

[unreal trail]

This just happened to me with a preorder

[hoary zodiac]

what's the channel for phones

[pliant berry]

apparently it happened to my dad too

[pliant berry]

well there is #mac-os-and-ios idk for the rest I guess #electronics

[unreal trail]

amazon jobbing lately

[trail nest]

@pliant berry hi do you own a gaming laptop?

[pliant berry]

no I own a macbook and a steam deck

[tranquil pebble]

imagine an RX7 engine in a motorcycle

[trail nest]

is macbook good for gaming?

[chrome mirage]

I fixed my HDR settings on my PC and now Alan Wake 2 looks amazing

[trail nest]

can you see his pimples and acne?

[pliant berry]

well.. if you don't want to play like 80% of games on steam since most do not natively support mac or arm

[chrome mirage]

Yep, even when it's dark now

[trail nest]

lmao

[trail nest]

what is arm?

[pliant berry]

https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/what-is-arm-processor

new macs use ARM based while standard desktops use x86

[trail nest]

but macs are still better than laptops and pc?

[pliant berry]

depends what you are looking to do. I use a mac cuz I am a photographer and I find that adobe and color management is generally more reliable on macs

[trail nest]

ahhh i see

[tranquil pebble]

but for gaming, Mac will not work well at all

Use the right tool for the job

[trail nest]

plus mac are so expensive!!!

[chrome mirage]

So is a PC if you spec it the right way

[tranquil pebble]

that is the other thing... Mac is bad for tight budgets regardless of use case

[storm narwhal]

Recent windows PCs have good battery life now

Not Mac good, but I'm seeing laptops with like 10 hours of video playback time

[velvet summit]

You can play death stranding on mac

M series

It can run at a stable 60fps at 1440p

On a m1 chip

I think on medium settings

https://tenor.com/view/death-stranding-gif-18372063

Game looks like that ^

Well, maybe marginally worse considering that this is probably a clip from the trailer which probably was rendered at the full quality settings

But going from max settings to medium is not a huge difference

For most games

In fact, imo some games look better on medium settings that completely maxxed settings

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games

Ray tracing is overdone

Makes the game look less realistic imo

So ironically I prefer it to be run at "lower quality" for it to look better

Admittedly, I also don't have the hardware to run it at max settings

[hoary zodiac]

I hate telstra

[velvet summit]

But looking at people's screenshots, I have decided that I didnt miss out on anything from not using rt lmfao

Cool tech demo though

[hoary zodiac]

phones that can't connect to Australia's VoLTE network are blocked from 4G

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[hoary zodiac]

that means literally everyone with an internationally purchased device

[velvet summit]

☠️

[hoary zodiac]

who looked at this and said "yeah this isn't gonna cause any issues"

now I'm 5 hours deep into a rabbit hole trying to get my phone to work

I think what they did was

they sneaked this little clause into their "shutting down 3G network" shenanigans

so they can disguise it as the consumer's problem instead of them trying to earn more money

[unkempt remnant]

so i bought a new cr2023 battery i put it in and started my pc up

and it still ended up blue screening

[sinful blade]

This game was really just empty; the game

I see so many clips and it’s just empty space half the game

[velvet summit]

True, there technically isn't much in most of the game

Though that isn't really to the detriment of the game

The animations in the game are incredibly polished

Calling the game a walking simulator is a complement
Because it truly is the best walking simulator in existence
And it is proud of that

Honestly the vehicles suck in the game, they handle horribly lmao

But the walking? Unironically immaculate

You can trip over rocks

You can get carried away from water rapids

Sam reacts to the terrain that you're traversing

If you're walking on a hill, Sam may use the ground as some leverage to keep his balance

[sinful blade]

I personally don’t like games like that

But others liked it

[velvet summit]

Death stranding definitely isn't quite a game for everyone, but for the people who enjoy it, they truly enjoy it

Actually, a few friends that I expected to not like it actually also liked it quite a bit

Honestly the game is just very well made

Asides from the vehicles with their janky handling

And the music is quite good

Kojima found the band low roar while in a music store in Iceland iirc

And loved their vibe

They were a tiny band at that time

Unfortunately they can't be in death stranding 2 since the singer passed away last year
(Edit: 2 years ago now, was back in 2022)

Iirc it was pneumonia
