[velvet summit]

we should make straws out of lead

instead of plastic or paper or stainless steel

you see, lead is antibacterial and antifungal

so you can share lead straws without risk of bacterial contamination

and lead will never get moldy

lead is also easily recyclable, so you can make new lead straws

lead is also a softer metal, so you can bite it without chipping a tooth

[paper verge]

as far as i know they tried to remove lead pipes in the us

so might be better alternatives

[velvet summit]

shhhhh

there's just 1 minor downside with lead

it will only stay in your bones for the rest of your lifetime before it decays

[paper verge]

breh

[velvet summit]

you see, lead is very similar to calcium

it's quite biocompatible in the sense that it seems like calcium so it goes in your bones

[paper verge]

i men

its the same with plastic

so

[velvet summit]

microplastics is a bit different

lead is just very toxic

plastic is mostly inert

[wary fjord]

get one like this

poor vehicles left here to die

[dusk knot]

Tech heaven

[versed folio]

i love lead i love lead i love lead

[deep parcel]

Too bad the closest one to me is like 4 hours away in Charlotte

or maybe the Virginia one is closer idk

[versed folio]

paint chips are a good snack to up your daily lead intake

[pliant berry]

Meanwhile

[rancid juniper]

nice, i have yet to go to microcenter

[dusk knot]

It was glorious, so much better than Best Buy. The only problem was I had no money for any upgrades.

[dusk knot]

Only 35 mins away on a good day.

[rancid juniper]

lol oof

[dusk knot]

They had a nice deal for a 7800xd and motherboard....

😔

[rancid juniper]

sheeesh

9800x3d combo when?

[velvet summit]

i could technically go to microcenter

[dusk knot]

I can now minimize my search radius for your house

[velvet summit]

i got a new passport

but detroit is still quite far away lmao

[rancid juniper]

wait

hol up

[dusk knot]

😂

[rancid juniper]

😭

[dusk knot]

You slipped

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

what slipped?

[dusk knot]

A whole passport lmao

[velvet summit]

yeah my old one expired

getting my new passport was an ordeal

[dusk knot]

Im kidding..you are safe

[velvet summit]

got my passport photos from walmart

got denied twice

[dusk knot]

What

[rancid juniper]

safe from boba fett

[velvet summit]

they said that the photos werent good enough

[dusk knot]

Right...right.

[velvet summit]

walmart redid them for free but like

i dont even see the differences between the photos that got accepted and the other 2 💀

[rancid juniper]

are you photogenic or walmart got crapcam 2?

[velvet summit]

idk 💀

the photos are like

the size of a sd card

which is the size that they're supposed to be

idk how they seeing that it's not good enough

[rancid juniper]

o

🤔

[velvet summit]

ALSO

they print the photo in black and white

on the passport

like, what was wrong with those photos

💀

[rancid juniper]

they got a grudge against you idk

[velvet summit]

Anyways, truly a passport
Not gonna show the inside for obvious reasons lmfao

[rancid juniper]

looks dope af tho

[dusk knot]

Canadian

Very cool

[high star]

🫵 🤣

canadian

guys i fear that my throat is sore

[velvet summit]

Actually, there's only one thing inside that I can show
They updated the text 😭

it now says his majesty the king rather than her majesty the queen

does anybody else like looking at like, government id and money and try to spot as many security features as possible on them

passports probably have the most security features out of all the governement ID and money i've looked at

which does make sense

you really dont want people to make a fake passport lmao

[nocturne flicker]

I like looking at money. I also like having money. I also like money in general. Gib mones

I wish we had coinage for a dollar and two dollars like you Canadians. Our dollar coinage has been relegated to commemoratives

[velvet summit]

💀

well, tbf

not many people use cash here anymore lmao

most people have switched to card only wallets from what i've seen

i do carry some cash with me though

but i barely ever use it

dont you guys still have pennies

[nocturne flicker]

It is a 50/50 around here. Older folks will generally skew to cash, younger skew to card. How much money you have also has an impact

[velvet summit]

our pennies are gone because it costs more to make a penny than the pennies were worth lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

We still have pennies for some reason, yeah

[velvet summit]

it cost like 3 cents to make a coin that was worth 1 cent

💀

[nocturne flicker]

Probably because our government is crippled and incapable of doing anything other than name some post offices

[dusk knot]

Google pay is my best friend

[velvet summit]

yeah i sometimes am too lazy to get my card out of my wallet so i just use my phone lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Also removing the penny inspires the conspiracy theorists who are already panicking that the government is going to ban physical currency and make everything digital so they can track everything you do

The amount of times I've had to tell my step father that the government wasn't going to be banning physical currency because of something he read in his online media bubble grows monthly

[velvet summit]

💀

[worthy tapir]

I'm overdue for a visit

[pliant berry]

Over here most places don’t even accept cash

[mortal grail]

Over here it's constitutional to accept legal tender or you get shut down

....or so I thought but apparently it's constitutionally legal since 2010?

Huh

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-26317296

[velvet summit]

my college no longer accepts cash after the pandemic

fully cashless

[versed folio]

yet another way to systematically discriminate against the poor and marginalized

[velvet summit]

not really? a debit card is very easy to get

[wary fjord]

This route has bumps on it..
This route has another route? what?

This route aint routing..

[nocturne flicker]

And a fair amount of banks charge no maintenance fees for simple checking and savings accounts

[velvet summit]

^

if the bank you choose for whatever reason has a fee for the basic checking account

go to another bank

there are so many banks around lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Some of them even have a no maintenance fees high yield checking account

My credit union does

Have to have atleast 500 in the account though to get the 3.75%

[nocturne flicker]

My small town of less than 3.5k has 5 brick and mortar banks

Then you have the completely online options and the banks and credit unions who offer service to the area despite not having a place in town

[versed folio]

yea? how many homeless people have debit cards

how do you apply for a card without an address

you’re speaking from privilege, and that’s fine as long as you acknowledge it

[wary fjord]

they gonna still play it xD

legalize rat software

haha

it enumares ur files and running background

[nocturne flicker]

How the heck is a homeless person going to afford college? They need assistance getting off the streets, having them pay college tuition, book and travel expenses isn't going to help that

[opaque sedge]

What level is elden ring’s anti cheat?

[opaque sedge]

Dont forget they need an address for work application

That’s the least of their worries

There’s more stuff

Their deteriorating health probably will give them a hard time too

Even if they are able to work

Medical care is expensive and without good insurance no access

How are they gonna afford good insurance without good skillful work

Low cost insurance application is a lengthy process

Basically ur ducked if u dont have a support system in the US such as good well to do parents when you are learning skills for occupation

[versed folio]

I was speaking on the general concept of a cashless environment which is being widely adopted around many parts of the world, but yes, there are niche cases of people in homelessness assisting college lol

[nocturne flicker]

I think it is more appropriate to think about methods of erradicating the state of being homeless than worrying about one day down the line physical cash not existing

[versed folio]

what is appropriate is maintaining accessibility to all, not removing these. The people in homeless situations aren’t the only communities affected by a cashless society, many other marginalized communities such as illegal immigrants are often underbanked or entirely unbanked

[wary fjord]

https://youtube.com/shorts/HAsemyRhNj8?si=_qPuJU3ph-YWoFM3 @dusk knot do you believe his 22?

[hoary zodiac]

Why do we have an argument

Is it that time of the day again

[versed folio]

we are discussing ideas, respectfully

sharing perspectives, I see no offense nor malice

hopefully we both end this with a different perspective

[hoary zodiac]

oh ok it's not that kind of argument

gonna throw my hat in the ring

[dusk knot]

I would say yes.

[hoary zodiac]

cashless payments often come with a transaction fee

that fee can pile up to quite a significant amount of everything is cashless

[versed folio]

it’s by design, systematical discrimination has been woven into society for a very, very long time

[hoary zodiac]

cash should definitely be an option unless they intend to get rid of that fee

[opaque sedge]

Society runs on it

Thrives on it

[versed folio]

even without the fee the problem comes to accessibility. The digital divide created by this exacerbates the economic dependency we have with banks

[opaque sedge]

People love feeling like they are better than others after all

Its disgusting

[hoary zodiac]

If banks go down

or the payment system they're using

"womp womp, guess you're not getting your bottle of water"

[opaque sedge]

The government would have to ho down first for that surely

[hoary zodiac]

this is the biggest problem with an unregulated free market

[opaque sedge]

For big banks

[wary fjord]

Ur money not safe in banks

If they go.. they go with your money

XD

[dusk knot]

True

[hoary zodiac]

corporations have too much influence these days

they can literally do whatever they want

[versed folio]

not only are you compromising your capital, but also your privacy and your freedom.

[hoary zodiac]

we are slaves of capitalism

and any time anyone tries to start any social programs people call it "communism"

[wary fjord]

Look at this wokr peoples xD calm down... This topic might go out of hand..

[hoary zodiac]

ok the word "slaves" is a bit extreme

but like

[wary fjord]

Lets talk about intel lets goo

XD

[hoary zodiac]

the government needs to take action

that's the downsides of overreliance on tech

[dusk knot]

👀 let's not talk about that

[hoary zodiac]

at least the digital footprint part

not gonna touch the first half of that statement

[dusk knot]

[dusk knot]

We all have the urge to talk about these things, but wegg isn't the place.

[hoary zodiac]

fair

[nocturne flicker]

Most banks don't have that issue in the US, we instituted a deposit insurance corporation after the Great Depression that covers up to $250k in the event something like that happens at a member bank, which is most of the banks in the US

[wary fjord]

Yeah most

Choose ur bank wisely

777

XD

Other prevent that by not allowing people to widraw their money.. they have to lend up the money 1st for few months or so xD

If the bank is low.. saw that on cn xD. That's very scary

I think owning a bank is a good business aslong you dint get rob and they pay on time xD

[nocturne flicker]

Most because some banks have similar protections guaranteed by different organizations. Credit Unions aren't members of the FDIC but have a similar insurance and some banks have their deposit insurance guaranteed by the state themselves

[hoary zodiac]

Is it just me or are people just making hour long content on youtube for the sake of making hour long content

feels like a lot of those videos are just filler now rather than actual content

[wary fjord]

State has limit on money no?

Nah they can just print it no biggie xD

Or isn't

[nocturne flicker]

The ones that are guaranteed by the state are state run banks

[mortal grail]

i had forgotten how restrictive some people in this server get

[mortal grail]

Pffft

[versed folio]

a mere warning could’ve sufficed

[mortal grail]

Has to have been pretty wild to earn a timeout, either that or the auto bot didn't like it

[wary fjord]

Sorry its 5am to moderate abortion topic so ... Best to shut it

[versed folio]

it wasn’t the topic

[mortal grail]

Damn that's a bit wild

[versed folio]

it was an example of how tech can overreach someone’s privacy

if you had read the conversation in its entirety you’d realize it wasn’t the topic

nevertheless, it’s over

[wary fjord]

Good

Let it go

[versed folio]

[mortal grail]

[versed folio]

[nocturne flicker]

[versed folio]

I don’t want to have bad reputation here again

[wary fjord]

Yeah they listen to you

Privacy is already compromised so we just need to move on xD

[hoary zodiac]

I disagree

there's a limit to how much our privacy should be compromised

[mortal grail]

I should send cookies in the form of micro charges to websites that send me requests for my data

[wary fjord]

Yeah but dont rant it here xD

[hoary zodiac]

like our data being collected from our smart tvs

[nocturne flicker]

Privacy is compromised, so become your own data salesman and demand compensation

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

[mortal grail]

Why add sugar

Why bake

[rancid juniper]

yes

[mortal grail]

Just graphite and eggs

[hoary zodiac]

that try to bait you into a scam or something like that

there's going to be a point where the internet is just bots interacting with bots

@mortal grail i dont think you want me to go more unhinged

[hoary zodiac]

they learn everything about you

[rancid juniper]

I can tell this person believes in some conspiracy theories

[hoary zodiac]

they could probably make an ai model about you

[rancid juniper]

Gets unhinged when corrected*

[versed folio]

that person is me

Crazy performance for the cost

[tranquil pebble]

my 5700x3d should be happy

6900 XT also is the most stable Radeon card I have ever had. Threw a full load at it and there was absolutely no throttling. It just stayed boosting.

PowerColor HD 4890 was my first gaming grade GPU

[sweet phoenix]

Does gt 1030 count as gaming grade

[mortal grail]

If only you were closer, cos I have spare cards lmao

[sweet phoenix]

In 2019

[tranquil pebble]

Depends on if ddr or gddr version

[sweet phoenix]

Gddr5

[tranquil pebble]

the ddr4 version is an absolutely not

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah shipping is probably $100+ lol

[tranquil pebble]

gddr5 version can be acceptable

[sweet phoenix]

Warzone ran at about 2fpm

[mortal grail]

1030 is the kind of card I'd be genuinely scared of being unable to run youtube

[tranquil pebble]

the ddr4 version is WAY slower

[sweet phoenix]

Isn't it like 600% worse

[mortal grail]

4/6 of my screens in the house are 4K lmfao

[tranquil pebble]

not that much but its pretty big

video cards with ddr instead of gddr are worse than modern iGPU lol

[mortal grail]

I tried 4K decode on YT once with my LP 1650

It screams 60fps

💀

[tranquil pebble]

I could easily handle that on my phone

[mortal grail]

I keep that thing spare for testing

[sweet phoenix]

Felix

Is $200 a fair price for a 3400g 1650 build

[mortal grail]

Ya you'd think so but this really was upset

[tranquil pebble]

phone technically supports 8k video too

[nocturne flicker]

If you haven't gamed with a ddr gt730 you haven't gamed

[mortal grail]

More like why

[sweet phoenix]

It's my friends

[mortal grail]

What is happening to the 3060ti

[hoary zodiac]

aren't arm socs A LOT more efficient with encoding/decoding than x86?

[sweet phoenix]

Oh not for me

[mortal grail]

Not the point

YT is difficult to stream

[sweet phoenix]

Im going to stick it out until it either dies or I have a few paychecks and can get a decent upgrade

Or find a good deal

[tranquil pebble]

idk but SD 8 gen 2 has zero issues with streaming 4k YouTube

[sweet phoenix]

I could buy one but I don't like having no money in my account

[mortal grail]

You can bring a 4090 to it's knees with 4K 120 decode

The nvdec can't handle much more of youtube

Lol

It's more so the point of the nvdec itself

The parallel processing of the gpu is irrelevant

The chip is a separate factor

[sweet phoenix]

Newegg has an evga 3070 ti for $300

[mortal grail]

That's tempting

[sweet phoenix]

But I really don't want a 15% upgrade

[mortal grail]

What about used 6800

[sweet phoenix]

Ftw3

I had a 6800xt temporarily and wasn't a fan

[mortal grail]

Used 6800s hit about 30%

[sweet phoenix]

It had issues with specifically valorant

[mortal grail]

This was like 3 years ago right

[sweet phoenix]

I think I'd lean towards a 3080 12gb

[tranquil pebble]

makes no sense when my phone decoded 4k60 just fine

[nocturne flicker]

Well obviously. The 6800xt is a gpu not a fan

[sweet phoenix]

About 2

[mortal grail]

I tested this with a bunch of people a while ago

[tranquil pebble]

ig I will need to encode a 4k120 video on my desktop to test something

[mortal grail]

Again, nvdec is irrelevant to the parallel power of the gpu

Yeah try it

At 4K 120 you get frame stuttering

Higher you get full drops

[tranquil pebble]

my 6900xt might not be too happy though lol

[wary fjord]

No

[mortal grail]

The gpu itself isn't screaming it's the encode/decode chip going ham

[wary fjord]

The whole unit is gpu

[mortal grail]

So in this case the nvdec

[wary fjord]

XD

[mortal grail]

What makes this interesting tho is the 1650 was screaming from 4K 60

So it was running hot

[hoary zodiac]

Is this an nvidia specific issue?

[mortal grail]

No

It's just a lot of data

[wary fjord]

I can stream 4k

[nocturne flicker]

Let me have my fun

[icy ore]

nope

[tranquil pebble]

imagine 8k240

[sweet phoenix]

Im also keeping an eye on r/hws

[hoary zodiac]

ah

[mortal grail]

[sweet phoenix]

And the other places I watch for deals like woot and zotac refurb sites

[mortal grail]

Put the power of the hardware out of the equation, you're comparing codecs

So like

It's a much more level playing field

[hoary zodiac]

so let's say

[sweet phoenix]

$460 4070 isnt... terrible...

[hoary zodiac]

does google use VP9?

[mortal grail]

*Is

[sweet phoenix]

Im just coping

[mortal grail]

Not sure. But think of it this way

4060, 4070, 4080, 4090 all use nvdec

However

They're all the same nvdec chip

So

Knowing that, "Why do editors buy big gpus?"

Cos encode does scale with gpu power

But decode not necessarily

[hoary zodiac]

ahhhh

that makes so much sense now

[mortal grail]

Programs can offload to the gpu

Therefore scaling

But something like youtube for example

Especially if you turn off hardware accel

It will just use the nvdec

[lone mango]

I think they do

Or used to

[mortal grail]

But what made this really interesting is we tested a range of gpus including my 4090, mine was the only card that reliably pulled 4K120 with minor dips

[lone mango]

They are slowly switching to av1 tho

[mortal grail]

You can floor modern gpus with hardware accel depending on the decode bitrate

[hoary zodiac]

so basically there is just physically so much data the gpus can't handle them

[mortal grail]

So this is kinda a halfway house explanation as to why a mobile phone can handle 4K youtube just like a GTX 1650 can

[mortal grail]

The codec specifically

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[mortal grail]

Just remember the key point of GPU's is bandwidth and always bandwidth

Then the thought process is just "What's the bottleneck"

Like DP1.4 (UBR40) being a 4090 bottleneck

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[mortal grail]

It goes both ways too, my 1650 likes to scream at 4k60 youtube, but similarly my SD 888 AND 865 both don't scream at all at 4K60 YT bitrate

It's just the nature of the card and settings

It detects a minor 3D load and off it goes screaming

https://tenor.com/view/engines-top-gun-maverick-fire-up-gotta-blast-coming-gif-25325804

[hoary zodiac]

so the arm SOCs have a better implementation of the technology?

[mortal grail]

That's not where I'm going with it

It's more the nature of the execution

nvdec is still arguably one of the best

But it's what 3 gens old now

Soon 4

[hoary zodiac]

but so is the 865

[mortal grail]

Ye

[worthy tapir]

I had a gt 630 😎

[mortal grail]

But the nature of the execution

i.e

The GPU detects the load, and ramps to an appropriate power state

That state is PL2(?)

[wary fjord]

H266 when

[mortal grail]

So 65W-75W

And screaming

💀

Cos idle not good enough lmao

[hoary zodiac]

ah

i see

[mortal grail]

And again, the parallel power isn't really relevant here, cos it's just the codec in question

[hoary zodiac]

but that brings up another question

[mortal grail]

Depending how you look at it anyway

[hoary zodiac]

if the gpu ramps up

is all that horsepower going to anything?

[worthy tapir]

Even put some new paste on it

[mortal grail]

The LP card is kinda funny

It'll ramp to that 65W power state and use what 40% or less

💀

[proud jackal]

i deed it, i finished ff16

[mortal grail]

But will go 100% at 75W

[proud jackal]

huh

[upper hawk]

Time for the two dlcs then

[weak cedar]

When was this a thing?

[mortal grail]

So it'll sound a little like a server at relatively normal use

[proud jackal]

did those before i finished the game

[mortal grail]

But then at full 75W is screams like a real server

[hoary zodiac]

💀

I wonder...

[upper hawk]

Cameras?

[hoary zodiac]

here's a dumb idea

[mortal grail]

Deposit

Send money

[hoary zodiac]

what if someone puts an arm soc onto an x86 chip

[weak cedar]

Roku makes cameras and light bulbs

[hoary zodiac]

oh wait that's a thing

nvm

[mortal grail]

Lol

[hoary zodiac]

I am curious tho

[proud jackal]

jokes on you im poor

[hoary zodiac]

how will the Apple M1 preform with 4k120

[mortal grail]

[Stares at Z890 Apex]

[mortal grail]

Probably quite similarly

Most low-end gpus are set up to handle 4k60 these days

[proud jackal]

ewaste am i rite

[lone mango]

True

[mortal grail]

I am First bank and recycling center of felix

[hoary zodiac]

I'm more curious on power efficiency

[mortal grail]

Pls deposit money and ewaste

[mortal grail]

Most of the time completely negligible

[hoary zodiac]

oh

so let's say

compare a 4060 to an SD865

[proud jackal]

ill deposit something alright

[mortal grail]

865 better, but only because idle state of a 4060 is higher

[hoary zodiac]

hypothetically if someone were to built a home server

[mortal grail]

In terms of utility an 865 is better

[hoary zodiac]

oh so it's not the physical limitations of the hardware

[mortal grail]

Ya

Well

Ya and no

[hoary zodiac]

but more how the hardware is utilised

[mortal grail]

It's a different kind of limitation

If you use gpu accel you can change that measure very quick

[nocturne flicker]

Now we are gaming bro

[mortal grail]

Codec to codec pure perf they will be very similar if you ignore all other factors

Nvidia is arm tech remember that

Arm tech on currently tsmc 4n iirc

[lone mango]

I'm just surprised how I run out of vram when editing at 1080p

[hoary zodiac]

too much complexity?

[mortal grail]

Ya was gonna say

[lone mango]

Probably

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[mortal grail]

Bitrate, complexity, render detail

[hoary zodiac]

did you run out when you're editing

or when you're rendering

are you using premiere?

I think you can lower the preview resolution or whatever that setting is called

[mortal grail]

Premiere is the reason you get PC's with threadrippers, multi-gpu, tons of ram lmao

It can handle large render en masse

Or rather nowadays, multiple large renders

I don't think you can do nvlink shenanigans on consumer rn

(Not SLI)

[hoary zodiac]

yeah shame

no vram pooling

[mortal grail]

I think you can pool

[hoary zodiac]

without nvlink?

[mortal grail]

My 4090 supports ECC pooling

Not sure about multi-gpu things tho

I know you can't on XTX

Or rather RDNA 3 in general

I don't have enough for 2 4090's to check 💀

[hoary zodiac]

to be fair multi gpu's always been janky on radeon

[mortal grail]

I would've loved crossfire just for the memes

[hoary zodiac]

Remember the vega 64?

[mortal grail]

I don't

Lol

Wasn't around at that time

[hoary zodiac]

lol

[lone mango]

I dont 100% run out but it will sit right right below 8gb and lag behind the audio

[lone mango]

Nah im on davinci and it doesnt seem to help much

[mortal grail]

DAVINCI

YUS

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

I haven't gotten used to davinci yet

[mortal grail]

Radeon is OP on davinci

Lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

seems to be broken on linux again

💀

so I went back to kdenlive

unfortunate

[lone mango]

Damn didnt you install it like 2 weeks ago

[mortal grail]

There's an easy answer for this

[hoary zodiac]

It's really hard to swap it from premiere

I've used it on windows but

[lone mango]

You can change keybinds

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/conan-o-brien-window-stalker-creepy-gif-14699391

[hoary zodiac]

the workflow is really different

layout and menus

[lone mango]

Ok thats true

[hoary zodiac]

so It's less the compatbility

more the different workflow

davinci can probably do 90% of what I do on premiere

but I just haven't figured it out yet

I've swapped from photoshop to affinity photo too

[lone mango]

Luckily I switched a week after I was able to own my copy of premiere

So there wasnt much to throw me off

[hoary zodiac]

Not a fan of adobe's recent shenanigans

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

affinity is actually pretty good

doesn't work on linux yet but 🤷‍♂️

[lone mango]

I havent switched because I own my copy of ps

If you get me

[hoary zodiac]

I don't want adobe training off my photos

that I took myself with a $600 camera

if they want to train off my photos they better pay me

I wonder how people with old CS6 licenses are doing

Adobe CS6 is probably still pretty decent these days

compared to the alternatives

[mortal grail]

Actually just fine

Just h.265 it

[lone mango]

Lawyer on standby

[hoary zodiac]

legit licenses

[lone mango]

Nah but didnt they try to spook them by saying something like suing them or whatever

[hoary zodiac]

If I could've found a premiere cs6 license I might've bought one

can't find any anywhere

to be fair premiere cs6 probably isn't that good these days

compared to stuff like davinci

[lone mango]

Doesnt affinity work on wine or was I thinking of photoshop

[mortal grail]

I was offered one a while ago by a kind soul I helped out

I politely turned them down

I didn't feel comfortable accepting a what $500 kit like that lmao

[hoary zodiac]

yes

technically it could be possible

but it might be janky

and a lot of hassle

[lone mango]

I do remember seeing some forum guides on how to get it to run but there was a lot and it probably wont work well

[lone mango]

Yeah

Brutal

[hoary zodiac]

yeah that's a key reason of me getting a separate laptop for uni

gonna try to run windows + wsl rather than a dual boot

a lot of software I use are designed to work with windows only

I really don't want a wineprefix issue slowing down my work

or any number of problems that could come with linux in a productivity setting

If only steam proton development could carry over to general purpose software

[tranquil pebble]

about time for me to continue with the 5700x3d install.

[tranquil pebble]

How do you install an AM4 back plate without two people?

[lone mango]

Thats a good one

Maybe try having the case upright and put the board in

Tbh I dont remember

Or just have the board upright and put it on

[tranquil pebble]

still falls out

only alternative seems to be tape... so lets try it lol

this trick helps me with m2s so why not a backplate

[lone mango]

[storm narwhal]

True

Tape is a good way

[mortal grail]

Crocodiles are like the foodies of nature

[tranquil pebble]

it made that at least 10 times easier

[dusk knot]

They are just near mindless killing machines that stay in one spot and stare into oblivion for minutes or hours on end.

[tranquil pebble]

This Peerless Assassin is making me work for it lol

[cedar compass]

I just want to travel to florida to see some of them lol

[dusk knot]

They're kind of boring to look after a while

It just floats or just stays there looking at who knows what

[storm narwhal]

Until it's late at night

And you shine your flashlight and you see multiple eyes reflecting back at you

[mortal grail]

Spiders

[dusk knot]

I'd rather look at jumping spiders

They're cute

Gators are not

[tranquil pebble]

How do you attach fans to the Peerless Assassin? Mine doesn't have any instructions for that part.

[storm narwhal]

Glue

[dusk knot]

Why would you attach fans to a dangerous assassin?

[storm narwhal]

Hotglue 100%

[tranquil pebble]

it has fan clips but I do not know how to use them

[storm narwhal]

Stretch the fan clips over the lip in the heatsink

Hook into the screw holes of the fan

Pull back and out about like 35 degrees so they hook into the heatsink

There's probably videos on this actually

[nocturne flicker]

Ziptie fan to block

[storm narwhal]

Real

[nocturne flicker]

Put duct tape on as reinforcement

[tranquil pebble]

I did not find any for my unit

and I have trouble understanding it

[nocturne flicker]

If all else fails an entire tube of superglue

[storm narwhal]

I haven't had the exact cooler so I'm not 100% on it

[tranquil pebble]

I have no glue

[nocturne flicker]

Sad

[storm narwhal]

But I assumed it'd be the same as other heatsinks lol

[nocturne flicker]

I use all my glue to fix my glasses

[tranquil pebble]

heatsinks are supposed to come with these already attached

[obtuse sundial]

Every single time I clean my pic and plug everything back up after it doesn’t post 🙁🙄

[dusk knot]

Correct

[sweet phoenix]

I can get a used 3060 ti for $175

Hmm

Or make on offer for a 1080 he has and upgrade later when I have money

[worthy tapir]

I have 2 80mm fans ziptied to my lian li o11

[tranquil pebble]

i dont know what that means

is it safe to tape it on?

[nocturne flicker]

Man is cooking, ziptied 80mm fans in an o11, repasting a gt630

[tranquil pebble]

I have no idea what I am doing with this stupid thing.

[storm narwhal]

I can visualize it perfectly in my head almost

Unfortunately I'm not a telepath

Videos about how to attach fans to heatsinks using fan clips should be very similar

I can't go on YouTube rn unfortunately

[tranquil pebble]

i watched a few but i cant translate it

[storm narwhal]

Aah

[tranquil pebble]

so uh should I contact thermalright?

[storm narwhal]

Hm

[tranquil pebble]

the clips dont work for me

[storm narwhal]

I mean probably then yeah

Can you alligator clamp a fan to the heatsink

[tranquil pebble]

i need my pc functional. Can you tell me a cooler that doesn't need assembly?

[storm narwhal]

Aios?

Maybe a stock heatsink lol

[tranquil pebble]

other than aios

or stock

[storm narwhal]

Mm

[tranquil pebble]

maybe i just need to find a shop to do it for me

[storm narwhal]

Haha maybe yeah I can't think of one rn

[tranquil pebble]

or ill just run it without fans attached

[tranquil pebble]

but I will obviously need to find some way to still force air through it

just gonna say 0/10 would not recommend this cooler to anyone inexperienced

straight up that should have come attached

[storm narwhal]

Or there should be a label or an instruction sheet for that tbh

Its not exactly super intuitive

[tranquil pebble]

I found a reddit video that solved my massive confusion

was a pcmr post but I will take help wherever I can find it

and now I know how fan clips works

[storm narwhal]

Great

It's like once you know it just makes sense

It's easy but it's not aimple

[tranquil pebble]

better instructions are definitely needed for these coolers

[storm narwhal]

I agree tho

[tranquil pebble]

ok now I just need to apply paste, mount then attach the fans

[storm narwhal]

Email them about this I guess

ADD INSTRUCTION

[tranquil pebble]

I still need to learn more little tricks to make stuff easier

also... got thermal paste all over myself again lol

[dusk knot]

🤨

[tranquil pebble]

applied way too much on an old cooler, and accidentally touched it

and from there it gets everywhere

[tranquil pebble]

I am a bit clumsy ngl

[dusk knot]

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

but hey, I have my 5700x3d working, and the cooler assembled properly now

and when I do AM5, I can just take the cooler and reuse it

about to see how GMod does with x3d

[wary fjord]

Iphone 16 is ban on Indonesia xD

[icy ore]

Really?

Why

[tranquil pebble]

they are banning everything not made 40% or more domestically

[pliant berry]

not sure how long that will last

[wary fjord]

If u own iphone..16 even if u bought it on someone else and you visit Indonesia

They gonna confiscate it they say

Or u can leave xD

Is that the same scenario with deep cool?

[pliant berry]

I heard that is was only domestic. no issue if visiting

[wary fjord]

They said due to lack of investment

I dont know what that means

It doesn't make any sense

[nocturne flicker]

That means they want to boost their manufacturing sector because companies haven't been building and maintaining enough factories there

[pliant berry]

sounds like just an attempt to force more jobs their way lol

[nocturne flicker]

Basically they want to make foreign companies open factories inside Indonesia or else they can't sell their product in Indonesia

Sorta like US car tariffs, if you open a factory in the US or a NAFTA country the cars don't have import fees applied

[lone mango]

I think with deepcool it was just not being able to be sold

Idk for sure tho

[dusk knot]

So are google pixel phones.... sad

[nocturne flicker]

Deepcool is that none of the products can be sold and US companies can't conduct business with them. So I imagine that means all product currently in the US is stuck here and can't be used and no more product can be shipped here

[sinful blade]

@nocturne flicker how do you feel about the GTX 980ti

[wary fjord]

Just sold? So can be use still right? And in out of the country? If u bring ur pc in flight

Bmw = bmv xD im saying it wrong

[nocturne flicker]

You can't conduct business with them currently. If you bought it before the sanctions you can use it, you just can't buy any new stuff. And I don't think they can even do warranty stuff because that means they'd have to conduct business

[nocturne flicker]

In what scenarios

Price, what you are going to be doing...

Keep in mind it performs similar to the gtx 1070 iirc, but it has 2gb less vram

[weak cedar]

Deepcool was sanctioned for selling over $1 million worth of PC cases, coolers, and power supply units to Russian companies that could be linked to the war in Ukraine.

So that's why

[sinful blade]

Customer wants an early 2010’s era build that can handle a few games

[zenith ridge]

newegg where is the windows 7 support hmm or are the furry crisper devs lazy and cant code drivers exposed

[velvet summit]

what does this even mean, newegg doesnt make drivers??? also windows 7 is EOL, nothing should be made for windows 7 anymore asides from continuing legacy support for business systems

[zenith ridge]

newegg 13/14 gen cpu/motherboards recalled. the worthless ai from halo is called cortana. windows changed the worthless ai name to recall so you get confused about what products where recalled.

[velvet summit]

newegg doesnt make any of those stuff lmao

[zenith ridge]

newegg will you drop support for windows 10/11 then because of the esu program exposed 2025

[zenith ridge]

fun fact nuclear plants use windows xp. they dont trust windows 10/11 it would probably nuke its self

[velvet summit]

well, rather, it uses SCADA, which may be installed on xp, but yeah, but this still has nothing to do with newegg

this is just microsoft's thing lmao
