general-chat

[hollow barn]

And no, I'm not here to spark another round of convo about that

[sage sluice]

Do people really fall for these scams

[heavy dew]

Just say yeah and they’ll leave you alone

[fervent raft]

Ngl I prob would

[reef grove]

I’ll build a new PC this summer and report back. I built my current PC during the pandemic/gpu shortage

[hollow barn]

Anyways, I need to do something. (I came from #graphics-cards)

Man, I got heated fast

[fervent raft]

Bro I’m getting heated cuz I can’t get approved to pay monthly payments

[unreal trail]

what kind of petty crackhead hacks an amazon account to get a phone number so they can do a sim transfer at 3AM?

[hollow barn]

I was getting heated becasue someone thought a UBM is a good Benchmarking site

[unreal trail]

bro tried to take out a loan but I dont qualify for jack

[hollow barn]

Sry DynEgg (warned me bc language of emoji)

[unreal trail]

kek

now now we're all underage here

[hollow barn]

[hollow barn]

It was an emoji btw that had in the image only a face like that:

[fervent raft]

Me fr

[hollow barn]

So the only profanity that I could think of is the Emoji name

[unreal trail]

makes sense, discord thought a picture of a duck was inappropriate

[hollow barn]

Btw, I don't even have access to my own Bank Account, Yet I can buy stuff of Amazon

[unreal trail]

bruh

dude had a PS5Pro sitting in my amazon cart but amazon booted him out and locked my account down before he checked out

[hollow barn]

And I got myself one of the USB-C hubs that has HDMI Out, but I needed a USB-A to USB-C converter (USB 3.0 at least) And noticed that it doesn't work

So that means the Laptop can't even do the HDMI out part on the USB point

Kinda Disappointing for me, but eh

[unreal trail]

sounds scuffed

[hollow barn]

It could have been worse, ay?

[unreal trail]

probably

[hollow barn]

Not gonna lie, the Laptop was 379 Euro anyways

So I had such low expectations that It manages to surprise me every time

[hollow barn]

Yes, my laptop was so cheap that I didn't even expect that it can run some games.

okay, some may just "walk" but that is more than I thought

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 3 with an 11th Gen Intel Core i3 1115G4

[unreal trail]

I formatted a homeschool laptop with an i5 in it and it works perfectly

[hollow barn]

The Cooler is Minuscule

Like really tiny

[hollow barn]

neat

[hollow barn]

Yet I occasionally get surprised that It can to task X or task Y

[frigid stag]

Are i3s rlly that bad

[hollow barn]

For example GTA V, I just for giggles installed that and it ran Okay ish, I needed to tweak the settings, but it runs better than I thought it will

[hollow barn]

For certain tasks it isn't that bad ngl

[misty sparrow]

2080Ti can still hold up in 2024

It’s not a 3050

[hollow barn]

My Laptop cannot even start Windows 7...

I tried

[misty sparrow]

really? 11th gen laptop should be able to at least run win10

[hollow barn]

Yup, I think the Laptop cannot go under Windows 8.x

Especially with that Pesky Drive Driver requirement

Yes, When I wanted to Install Windows 10/11, I had to get Drivers

Idk, It hangs on drive.sys if I remember right

[misty sparrow]

Pretty sure 2080Ti is about as powerful as a 3060Ti or a normal 3060

Not really sure

I just know 3070 beats it

[fervent raft]

Any thing I can do to make monthly payments on a pc WITHOUT having to just ruining my credit score in the process of trying to get accepted

[hollow barn]

Meanwhile my Desktop has a RTX 3070 Ti

How btw?

[misty sparrow]

How does the 3060Ti fare up

That’s still pretty good

[hollow barn]

drives?

[misty sparrow]

Considering I can’t really find the card for $250 or less

[hollow barn]

Oh, no problem

[fervent raft]

?

[hollow barn]

But do you happen to know how I do it? (Just asking if you happen to know a way)

Okay, I asked a chatbot and saved it...

Yup, it was disk.sys

[misty sparrow]

why would you want to run win7 on modern hardware

just asking

[hollow barn]

That is what it said:```got it. if you're stuck at disk.sys, it usually means there's an issue with the storage drivers. here's how to get past this:

1. Download Storage Drivers:

• get the latest sata/ahci or nvme drivers for your laptop from the manufacturer's website.

2. Mount the ISO:

• create a folder on your pc to mount the iso, like C:\Win7ISO.
• open command prompt as administrator.
• mount the iso using the command:

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\path o\your\iso\sources\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\Win7ISO

3. Inject Storage Drivers:

• extract the storage drivers to a folder, like C:\StorageDrivers.
• use dism to add the drivers to the mounted iso:

dism /image:C:\Win7ISO /add-driver /driver:C:\StorageDrivers /recurse

4. Commit Changes and Unmount:

• commit the changes and unmount the iso:

dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\Win7ISO /commit

5. Create Bootable USB:

• use rufus to create a bootable usb with the modified iso as previously described.

6. Try Different BIOS Settings:

• ensure that your bios is set to the correct mode (ahci or raid) that matches the drivers you injected.

this should help the installer get past disk.sys. let me know if you need more help!```

[fervent raft]

Plz answer.

[hollow barn]

Just for the lulz

[misty sparrow]

What kind of ways? If a program needs Win7 it can be ran in win7 compatibility mode so I don’t get it

[hollow barn]

Bruh

[hollow barn]

Why is Armoury Crate at Windows Vista???

[fervent raft]

Any thing I can do to make monthly payments on a pc WITHOUT having to just ruining my credit score in the process of trying to get accepted

[hollow barn]

I can't help with that sadly

[fervent raft]

😦

[hollow barn]

Because I don't even have access to my own Bank Account

Yeah, confusing

[hollow barn]

[sinful blade]

Don’t make monthly payments

[fervent raft]

Bruh I legit gotta can’t pay it in full rnn

[unreal trail]

dont get PC, get cat

[sinful blade]

Then wait. Don’t do payments over time.

Unless you’re getting an optiplex with a 580 in it, it’s not worth paying over time.

[fervent raft]

I ain’t trying to wait a whole 12 months

[misty sparrow]

cats are more expensive

[sinful blade]

Save up.
If you’re trying to buy a pc over a few weeks, use zip-pay.
But don’t go over $500.

[fervent raft]

So pretty much impossible for me to get a pc without waiting forever Alr :/

[sinful blade]

Check this out on @Newegg:Gaming PC - Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7GHz - AMD RX 580 - 16GB DDR4 RAM - 512 NVMe M.2 SSD (Solid State Drive) - 500W 80+ Bronze PSU - Wi-Fi - Desktop Computer https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-0012-005F7?Item=9SIADFRJVS5783&tpk=1

This should suffice, and you can replace parts as you go.

[unreal trail]

brug

[sinful blade]

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz (Ryzen 5)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 90mm Fan
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B550M-A AC (No I/O Shield)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Video Card: Radeon RX 580 8GB
PSU: Seasonic S12III-500 500W 80+ Bronze (replace this)
Case: Metallic Gear Neo Air Black
Operating System: Genuine Microsoft Windows 10 Home (MAR)

[fervent raft]

Why that video card look so bad

[unreal trail]

thats ok, just replace the GPU

[sinful blade]

^

Get a sub $100 1070 and you’ll be fine for most games

[unreal trail]

update the BIOS and pray AEP isn't wilding that day

[sinful blade]

You’re limited on choices with the decision you’re choosing, so this is probably the best you’ll get in a pay over time scenario

[fervent raft]

What’s a I/O shield I’m a bit slow

[sinful blade]

“A small metal or plastic plate that covers the I/O connectors on the back of a computer case”

[hollow barn]

a cat of a car?

[sinful blade]

You can get a replacement easily

[fervent raft]

is that bad to not have?

[sinful blade]

I’d get the replacement for it soon, I don’t like to not have an IO plate

[fervent raft]

also whats cheaper to buy prebuild or build ur own?

[sinful blade]

Build your own.
But you’re paying over time, and doing that with 8+ parts is not advisable

[hollow barn]

Well, it depends I would say personally

[fervent raft]

maybe i should say the type of games im playing

[hollow barn]

Minecraft?

[fervent raft]

heres the list

Rust, MC, Fort (RARLEY), R6, Forza, Cod Ext

[hollow barn]

Yooo, I happened to get one of them

[fervent raft]

which one lol

[hollow barn]

MC

[fervent raft]

nice lol

[sage sluice]

Ive seen people get 3060s at this price

A 580 feels rough

[fervent raft]

why cant I js mix ram from one computer to another

asking abt a pc bc I need a new one frfr im running 1050 ti and a i3 😦

[hollow barn]

I was saying "Minecraft?" and then it came that you said "Rust, MC, fort (RARELY), R6, Forza, COD Ext

[fervent raft]

lol

[hollow barn]

I highlighted the part where I saw I happened to get right

[craggy shoal]

Which i3?

[fervent raft]

would I need to buy windows 11?

[craggy shoal]

You can't just say "i3" and expect us to know which one (it's not just you. it's quite a few people)

[fervent raft]

Intel Core i3-9100F CPU @ 3.60GHz

[hollow barn]

I know that on Windows 10 it isn't strictly required...

[fervent raft]

I was asking bc dont hate: but i like windows 11 more tbh

[craggy shoal]

Windows 11 is actually better

not hating at all

[hollow barn]

I don't judge.

[fervent raft]

alr

[hollow barn]

All issues I had was majorly on Display

[fervent raft]

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-0012-005F7?Item=9SIADFRJVS5783&tpk=1

so buy this and replace like 2 things on it?

[hollow barn]

Basically me pairing that: GPU: ┬1. Intel UHD Graphics 630 ├2. Asus Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 TI TUF Gaming └3. Gainward Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (No Power Cables)
with 2 screens

I think I should remove the GTX card to resolve that issue?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah it's not the worst by far. I would upgrade it like this (1 being the highest priority):

1. Power supply
2. GPU
3. Storage
4. RAM

[fervent raft]

can i even run anything on that what its at rn

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[fervent raft]

like what tho

[hollow barn]

motor should I remove the GTX GPU to resolve the "Mostly only the second Screen shows image" issue?

[craggy shoal]

it's just that it's almost a decade old GPU. It's better than your 1050 Ti but it's still going to struggle on newer games

[craggy shoal]

I would just remove it regardless. You already have a 3070 Ti in that build

[hollow barn]

Yeah, But I put it in that I can have only one PC on for some Cuda loads

[fervent raft]

is it bad im not the one paying my dad gonna be paying but imma struggle to convince him

[hollow barn]

Oh wait

I have it in there for Video encode too

Because if I do VR and Record/Stream, I get not too great of a Performance

[craggy shoal]

Nah in that case, your settings are wrong

You're using OBS, right?

Just use NVENC

[hollow barn]

That is what I use

But SteamVR is probably also using it

[craggy shoal]

Which GPU is SteamVR using?

oh wait

[hollow barn]

RTX 3070 Ti

[craggy shoal]

gotcha

and I'm assuming the 1050 Ti is the recording/streaming GPU?

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[fervent raft]

what if i wanted to buy js a straight up build like if i had the money rn budget of 1.2k what would be my best option

[hollow barn]

Well, It also serves that purpose

But no H265 sadly

[craggy shoal]

Like basically a 7600X (at least), 32GB of DDR5, and then whatever Radeon GPU and storage to go with that

[fervent raft]

yo w dad fr I told my dad and he said: "I start working to save up as long as u help a bit"

[craggy shoal]

I'd still try to take out the 1050 Ti and see if that fixes your display issue. I forgot whether the 1050 Ti does it, but I know for fact that the 3070 Ti processes recording separate from rendering a game in real time (literally has a whole separate chip on it specifically for encoding video)

[hollow barn]

I can't do SteamVR with cable

[craggy shoal]

W

[hollow barn]

Since it only does WiFi

[craggy shoal]

What's your motherboard?

[fervent raft]

I need to have the pc ready to buy tho bc he fr could have that within a month or two

[craggy shoal]

Start saving up

[hollow barn]

ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI) (Nuvoton NCT6798D)

[fervent raft]

I js wanna know what to buy js so i can see if it changes or not in the future

[chrome mirage]

I injured my back just in time for a big snowfall

[craggy shoal]

I meant to ask, but is it possible for your VR headset to communicate with your PC via USB C? I ask because your motherboard has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 header on the rear, which is well enough for VR

(kinda just assuming you have a Quest 2 lol)

[hollow barn]

Yup, I got Quest 2 (And too broke to get USB to USB C cable )

[craggy shoal]

Ryzen 7600X, whatever GPU, 32GB of RAM (go for 6000 MHz at least), and whatever storage

[craggy shoal]

get another one. They're not too expensive

would probably fix your issues

[hollow barn]

Like the only way I can do via USB is USB 2

for now

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I'd just wait it out and get a USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable

I can't stand using wireless with VR

[hollow barn]

Yeah, If it is a few meters long

[chrome mirage]

@fervent raft did you also get your username from the Xbox gamer tag generator

[hollow barn]

Because the USB 2.0 extention I bought once and jokingly said "let's see how good it runs", But then saw that it ran Better than WiFi

Like idk how, but USB 2.0 was better from Latency wise to WiFi

[craggy shoal]

I'm trying to see if Ugreen makes a super long USB C to C

[pliant berry]

I have not gotten my quest 2 to work over usb 3 in over 2 years

[hollow barn]

I can buy myself some on Amazon

[craggy shoal]

I would stick to a reputable brand just btw

[hollow barn]

Yeah

[sage sluice]

yeah like asrock

[pliant berry]

I pretty much just gave up and stick to usb 2 speeds now

[craggy shoal]

ASRock makes USB cables?

[sage sluice]

no im just bullying them

reputable brand

[hollow barn]

LMAO

[hollow barn]

Could a Motherboard of Asrock be the source of inconsistent POST?

[hollow barn]

Btw, what speed?

[sage sluice]

coincidentally i have an asrock motherboard lmao

depends on the model tbh

[craggy shoal]

I think 10 Gbps (miles better than USB 2.0)

[sage sluice]

cant speak generally

i use a 620I

why are tech brands so inconsistent

[hollow barn]

I sure hope

[sage sluice]

i swear 90% of them are like half crappy models and half golden childs

gpu manufacturers are a big culprit of this

[hollow barn]

LMAO

[craggy shoal]

yeah looks legit

[sage sluice]

seems legit

[hollow barn]

I went to amazon.de

I know, There is amazon.com too

[sage sluice]

oh god DE is notable scammer shi

[craggy shoal]

WHY DOES UGREEN ONLY MAKE CHARGING CABLES

Their one USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB C to C cable (the only thing I've been looking for) is like 3 feet

[sage sluice]

joking btw de just means its based in germany

[craggy shoal]

BRUH

[hollow barn]

That one looks good for now:

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I'd just try it

[sage sluice]

well that explains the being based in germany lmao

[hollow barn]

If I had enough money in Amazon

[sage sluice]

i was concerned at first

[craggy shoal]

man

[sage sluice]

22 euros for a cable is a bit rough

[hollow barn]

Yes, I don't have enough money in my Amazon Account

[craggy shoal]

it's a good cable lol

[hollow barn]

And god forbid I need to add a Card

[craggy shoal]

Y'all should see Thunderbolt 5 cables lol

[sage sluice]

i read thunderbolt

first issue

[hollow barn]

I literally cannot add a Card

[velvet summit]

Monoprice or phantom cables may have decent price

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/hULpfjs5qj8?si=qo7BcvGBKbogv2S1

Smh….my 3080ti is now recommended

[sage sluice]

ray tracing mandatory is just lazy

cant wait to not buy it

[velvet summit]

Kinda?

The main benefit of rtx is not needing to spend the time to develop a raster only version

[sage sluice]

its fine if you can choose between ray, but nowadays most people do NOT have raytracing capable hardware for playable framerates (even those that technically support ray) so raster for weaker systems should absolutely be an option

[hollow barn]

THe first cable I found on Amazon of Monoprice is more expensive than I sent

[craggy shoal]

Man he isn't lying

[sage sluice]

remember 90% of people dont have pimped out rigs

[hollow barn]

@velvet summit is that Cable good?

[sage sluice]

120gigs is insulting too tbh, elden ring for example is like 40 lmao

[fervent raft]

Bro yall don’t be knowing this pc bro legendary frfr

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NF9pVa/

[sage sluice]

zero optimization

[hollow barn]

In the past Optimization was key

[sage sluice]

its still key, its just branded more as if it isnt

[hollow barn]

Yeah

true

[sage sluice]

again most people dont just have terabytes of storage up their a$$

[craggy shoal]

man gaming just isn't in a good state rn

[fervent raft]

@craggy shoal me when I’m on a budget fr

[hollow barn]

{"OptimizationRequired":true}```

[velvet summit]

TBF while I don't think it is exactly a bad idea to switch to "Ray tracing only" games, I do think it's perhaps a few years too early currently

[craggy shoal]

man this guy really pinged me to watch a TikTok when I'm not on mobile rn

smh have to pickup my phone

(should've just said "lol" instead of saying all of that)

[sage sluice]

thats my point, when most people have ray capable rigs by all means go ahead

most people dont have ray capable rigs

[fervent raft]

Had to say all of that mb for pinging you

[craggy shoal]

e

[fervent raft]

A

[wary fjord]

imagine have rt capable rig

[hollow barn]

B

[fervent raft]

C

[craggy shoal]

nobody has an RT capable rig

[hollow barn]

... Uh... I have one

[wary fjord]

must be nice

[hollow barn]

I can run Ray Tracing

[craggy shoal]

sure but are you comfortable running RT?

[wary fjord]

"run"

[hollow barn]

There are shockingly little titles that leverage RT on my PC

So I don't even see it that often

[wary fjord]

does rt hits 4e0 fps yet

[sage sluice]

theres only a few games i even use raytracing with

[craggy shoal]

If you can't run RT with DLSS or FSR at a stable 60 fps, then you don't have an RT-capable machine

[hollow barn]

Well, WT runs 60FPS

[sage sluice]

alan wake 2 and cyberpunk are the only two i can think of off the top

[hollow barn]

with 1080P

[wary fjord]

must be nice

[craggy shoal]

Minecraft RTX does it insanely well and nobody talked about it when it released

[hollow barn]

Ngl, not that much changed

[hollow barn]

on bedrock, right?

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[hollow barn]

Oh yeah, I don't play that kind of flavor

[craggy shoal]

Just turn on DLSS and you're set

[wary fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/4090-rtx-4090-owners-when-dlss4-gif-14982783796855356074

[sage sluice]

bedrock edition is roblox flavour minecraft imo

feels gross

[craggy shoal]

yeah I don't like Bedrock either

[hollow barn]

Heck na

[wary fjord]

you guys ready for 5000 series yet?

[hollow barn]

I ain't touching DLSS

[sage sluice]

i hate relying on upscaling

i avoid it when i can

[wary fjord]

but you paid for that 😦

[craggy shoal]

Bedrock is wild. Can't even place a torch in your off hand

[hollow barn]

🤷‍♂️

[hollow barn]

Wanna know why?

[sage sluice]

thats no where near the worst of it

combat feels so unpolished

want to shield? crouch

axes? irrelevant

[hollow barn]

Bruh

[sage sluice]

idk it just feels crusty

[wary fjord]

haha yeah u need offhand plugin and dynamic lighting plugin

[hollow barn]

I Just was gone because of the Menus

[sage sluice]

its too polished

[wary fjord]

if u want to have java experience torch like

[sage sluice]

play java

poor mobile and console players

[hollow barn]

I play Modded Java Edition

[wary fjord]

on java u can make it allowed bedrock to join..

[hollow barn]

I can run Java on Android Phones

iPhone? idk

[sage sluice]

i hope the console market dies tbh

[sage sluice]

no apk files

[wraith fern]

what

[sage sluice]

consoles are so outdated

[hollow barn]

What did you mean again (Couldn't figure out where the comma was supposed to be)

[sage sluice]

it needs SOME alteration

[sage sluice]

there is no comma

iphone doesnt allow the use of APK

[hollow barn]

Huh, But Apparently there is a Launcher that can make it able to run MC Java

[sage sluice]

weird

idk

[hollow barn]

And also: APK is used by Android

[sage sluice]

oh lmao

im insane

idk i just know apple is picky with foreign software

[hollow barn]

And I'm somewhat sad that I can't just do whatever I want on that iPhone

or almost what I want that I can do on Android

[sage sluice]

android is trying to become that honestly

[hollow barn]

🥲

[sage sluice]

and when that happens im gonna figure out how to get a personalized os lmao

does linux run on mobile?

[hollow barn]

Yes

Because Android is Technically Linux

[fervent raft]

What’s the max gpu imma need for this list?

Rust, MC, Fort (RARLEY), R6, Forza, Cod Ext

I wanna get good fps but good graphics “buying later down the road just wondering cause I’m bored”

[sage sluice]

price range?

[hollow barn]

I said technically because it has Similar commands on the shell

[craggy shoal]

Xbox and PlayStation should just be making PCs at this point frfr

[fervent raft]

Max prob 300-450

[hollow barn]

Ye

[sage sluice]

for 300 or so you could probably snag a used 3080

[craggy shoal]

I think the real issue is games being too difficult to run (not necessarily unoptimized, but I mean the PS5 is already expensive for a console and PS is losing money each time they sell a console. They make this money back form PS Plus)

[sage sluice]

if you want new id probably try to snag a 7800xt

but thats towards 450

[craggy shoal]

7800 XT will be a little more expensive but well more worth it imo

[sage sluice]

its just not worth it being locked in a console ecosystem nowadays

it honestly stopped being worth it after the ps3 lol

[craggy shoal]

I agree

then the PS4 released. I think it's wild that we chose fidelity over frame rate

Like honestly I think the first Spider-Man game on PS4 looks like a PS3 game just because of its frame rate

Would look like a proper PS4 game if it could be played at 60 fps

[sage sluice]

as time has passed ive come to realize how much more i care about frame rate than i thought i did

as much as i love a pretty picture

it needs to be playable lol

[craggy shoal]

60 fps is the minimum I'll go

If I can crank the settings and have it sit at a stable 60 fps, I'm fine

[sage sluice]

i used to play on an old integrated laptop, boy did that thing chug

i think terraria ran at 20fps 720p

lmao

this was 2 years ago

[craggy shoal]

😭

[sage sluice]

i made a huge jump with my current hardware

[craggy shoal]

My first laptop was some HP notebook. I got it maybe like a year before Minecraft Bedrock released. It couldn't even run Minecraft Bedrock

weakest laptop ever

[sage sluice]

im at school rn on my chromebook lol, i wanna check the specs on this thing

that is

magnificent

4 whole gigs of ram

[velvet summit]

more ram than i had

[sage sluice]

my first laptop had 512mb ram

she tried her best

[velvet summit]

damn

[sage sluice]

thankfully i grew out of that thing fast lmao

[craggy shoal]

What kind of laptop two years ago only had 512MB of memory?

That's the wildest thing I've heard

[sage sluice]

oh this was my first laptop, that laptop had 8 gigs

it was one we found threw out at the dump

there was definitely a reason it got thrown out loll

surprised it even worked

ran coolmathgames like a beast

[elfin mural]

wew

that's nice for a dumpster pc

[sage sluice]

for sure

[rancid juniper]

I managed to go 1 watt under 160 on the cinebench r23 stress test (5.4/4.3ghz @ 1.14v)

[sage sluice]

ive taken a lot of things people leave tbh, im like a raccoon

got an old keyboard that barely worked

[rancid juniper]

This is probably the lowest stable voltage I've achieved for the 13600k

I'll post pics in overclocking

[sage sluice]

intel and low voltage?

unheard of

[rancid juniper]

I can go as low as 1.074v if I clock it down to 5.2ghz

[sage sluice]

not bad

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[sage sluice]

especially for 14 cores

[rancid juniper]

Mhm

[sage sluice]

i hope intel doesnt fumble their gpu lineup

because if they do im grabbing the popcorn

[rancid juniper]

I want to see them shake up the budget market, if only a little

[sage sluice]

Intel in 2024 feels like AMD in 2016

i have no affection towards the big corps tryna make a quick buck off me, but i appreciate money value where i see it

[craggy shoal]

oh no here we go

[sage sluice]

99% of companys i swear turn around and become anti consumer the second they take hold of the market

steam please keep being the 1% 🙏

[craggy shoal]

It's just the market atm

[sage sluice]

[craggy shoal]

there's 135K minutes of Taylor Swift and then there's 135K minutes of anything else. I'll let you guess which is bad

I need to start using YouTube as my main tbh

[craggy shoal]

I pay for both and I just don't use YouTube

[sage sluice]

[sage sluice]

Paying to skip songs is insane to me

Like holy

[craggy shoal]

I wish I could safely torrent but idk how to do that

[rancid juniper]

yep

[craggy shoal]

I'd for sure ditch my subscriptions and just do that

Wow that is a big die for the performance it gives

[rancid juniper]

yea

[lone mango]

It seems like you still cant undervolt from arc software

[opaque sedge]

Undervolt… under…

[rancid juniper]

hmmm... how did i end up here?

[carmine wraith]

where i can chat on newegg with someone, i don’t see anything exept a number to call

[lone mango]

True but it’s not the hardware, it’s the devs

Ue5 is a plague

[craggy shoal]

I’m even willing to argue that it's the hardware just being expensive

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[icy ore]

You can try @digital thunder

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[rancid juniper]

already got the game preloaded

[dusk knot]

Oh crap

Nice

[dusk knot]

That's what I want to see

[rancid juniper]

yea

[dusk knot]

I remember once I crashed so hard that my POV was the drivetrain. My frame was utter destroyed.

[rancid juniper]

☠️

the car can drive it off

[dusk knot]

Literally. You can still drive 😂

[rancid juniper]

[dusk knot]

Okay I'm pre-installing the game

Looks like theo is interested in playing to

We could do a VC party

[rancid juniper]

we can all squad up yea

[craggy shoal]

bruh finally

[dusk knot]

Finally

[craggy shoal]

make sure y'all get a data cable

[dusk knot]

My data transfer medium is the air

[craggy shoal]

💀

[dusk knot]

😀😐

[craggy shoal]

I was actually transferring files from my main PC to my NAS. Only instead of it being a NAS it's actually a DAS (connected via USB) and the USB cable it's using is just not it

[velvet summit]

Not Spotify because premium is honestly kinda bad value compared to the other service but here is my recap

[craggy shoal]

yeah I need to start using YouTube Music more

[sinful blade]

I can provide my pandora’s when it comes

[devout forum]

I don't use Spotify but I can probably try

If my music player would cooperate

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confirms-xe3-architecture-is-baked-hardware-team-already-working-on-successor

intel really going full force on the dgpu sector

[devout forum]

Wait so they're already working on their 3rd gen?

[rigid sinew]

you can dm @digital thunder

[rancid juniper]

seems so

[devout forum]

Interesting

[rigid sinew]

woaaaah recommend some songs !

[rigid sinew]

pandora :/ isnt that just a radio station ?

[sinful blade]

No lmao

[craggy shoal]

like a radio station over TCP iirc

[rigid sinew]

like you can play songs you want ?

[sinful blade]

I can listen to copyrighted music that isn’t available anywhere else

I can listen to any music

I can play the songs I want

Make playlists

Listen to songs I’ve liked exclusively

[rigid sinew]

share your account info so i can try it out

hehe jk

[sinful blade]

It’s also the cheapest one

$5.99

[rigid sinew]

everybody says apple music is better but ive had my spotify since i was in hs , i am not recreating my account

[rigid sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-spare-change-spare-some-change-begging-poor-gif-1281766816980485400

[craggy shoal]

Everyone who says Apple Music is better hasn't tried YouTube Music and think Spotify is the only other viable option

[velvet summit]

ehh, apple music has a higher quality audio option than youtube music

[devout forum]

Imagine paying to listen to music

[craggy shoal]

that "higher quality audio" is super accurate. I can tell because not only does it sound good, but my phone heats up processing it 💀

[velvet summit]

lmao

[devout forum]

laughs in downloading every song I like from YouTube and listening offline

[velvet summit]

yeah i normally just use youtube music on my phone

[rigid sinew]

ive hard yt music is good i just am too lazy to use anything else since all my music is in one place

[sinful blade]

The ranking goes:
Pandora
Apple
youtube
soundcloud
youtubetomp4converter
radio
spotify

[rigid sinew]

does yt do the wrapped thing like spotify does ?

[velvet summit]

on my pc i may use something higher quality like tidal or qobuz

[sinful blade]

In that order

[craggy shoal]

I wish I had a way to automate this

[rigid sinew]

this is false

[velvet summit]

well, i sent you the image LMFAO

it's called recap instead though

[craggy shoal]

That's exactly what I'm going through rn lmao. I first started using Spotify but I don't feel like fully switching to YTM

[rigid sinew]

OH THATS FROM YT

[rigid sinew]

one of my playlists is 23:58 long

[velvet summit]

i honestly highly recommend youtube music because of the algorithm, you'll be able to find so many songs that you may like from it after a day of listening to music

[devout forum]

It's legal here to download songs for personal use as long as no monetary benefits is made if they were made available publicly and for free, jurisdictions differ, your mileage may vary

[sinful blade]

Hey I can do that with Pandora too

[rigid sinew]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/66J064hmBg843soiOHFJal?si=LhP0S16xSBaQillWRb-T3Q

[devout forum]

I have almost 84 hours of music on my phone rm

[velvet summit]

youtube has the best music recommendation algorithm out of all music services i've tried

[devout forum]

I'm a little bit of a hoarder

[rigid sinew]

sheeeesh

[devout forum]

1280 songs

[rigid sinew]

i lied its 23 hrs 56 min

[craggy shoal]

bruh just put it on some music streaming service on a server and leave it at home atp lmao

[sinful blade]

My Pandora has I think 4,900~ liked songs

[devout forum]

Don't have an always online internet connection on my phone

[rigid sinew]

i dont like when i play music and then it switches to something i might like

[sinful blade]

So I hear them all eventually

[rigid sinew]

i like my own music to play my own music

I travel a lot during work (as a patient transport worker) and often there's no cell reception where we pass through

[craggy shoal]

man

[devout forum]

Like absolutely NO service

[craggy shoal]

gotcha I see

I thought you were one of those people who buys a phone but just doesn't get cellular service with it

[devout forum]

Nah I have some data

But out in the countryside there's just no reception

Usually 5 gigs for a month

So I use it sparingly

Unlimited mobile data plans cost a LOT here

[craggy shoal]

man I'm glad I still live off of my parents lol

where are you?

[devout forum]

Hungary

Like

[craggy shoal]

ohhh gotcha

5% of my paycheck would go for that data plan

It's just not worth it

Very bad

Technically it's literally translated from Latin as 'evil' but whatever

[devout forum]

Yeah that's cute for a 5yo but you see I didn't fall for it
I didn't say the word

(For the record I'm memeing, there's no beef)

[opaque sedge]

[devout forum]

(just my standard reaction to deez jokes)

[devout forum]

The one Johnny asked for

[opaque sedge]

[devout forum]

I'm not saying it

Either way

[opaque sedge]

Why not?

[devout forum]

Back to topic

@craggy shoal it's cost-effective to download songs at home on our gigabit home internet and copy them over to my SD card and play back offline

[craggy shoal]

man that's nuts

[devout forum]

The power of a cheap Chinese android phone

[craggy shoal]

For me, it's better to host everything on a server and just add storage as needed

[devout forum]

Dual SIM+ SD card be like

[devout forum]

No doubt that's more efficient if you're always online

But since I can't always be online I have to make due

[craggy shoal]

I do try to be storage maxxing rn

(Only have 2.5TB in my DAS rn though :')

[devout forum]

Nice

[craggy shoal]

Not much storage for a DAS 😭

I just got this DAS. I want another one already. The one I have now is just a two-bay. I want a four-bay that does hotswap and RAID. The one I have now just does RAID so I just set the drives up as single storage for now

Doesn't feel safe having them as single storage, which is why I want a proper DAS with hotswap and RAID

About to have a RAID 1 moment

My friends call me a neckbeard and I see it

(I don't have a beard)

Is homers mouth a beard?

[opaque sedge]

[unreal trail]

thats Fry

[craggy shoal]

That's Homer Simpson x Fry

[rancid juniper]

FRY + HOMER FUSION

[sage sluice]

Im aware lol

But fry is clean shaven

Homer isnt

[craggy shoal]

mf asked when he already knew

[rancid juniper]

[craggy shoal]

man what

[devout forum]

Why not NAS?

[rancid juniper]

i dont think motor watches dragon ball bro

[opaque sedge]

…

[devout forum]

It's objectively better if you network attach than going direct attach

[craggy shoal]

Expensive and I already have a couple of servers running. Cheaper to go the DAS route

[rancid juniper]

Das Auto

😳

[craggy shoal]

Might do NAS next though if I can find one that can do Tailscale

[opaque sedge]

Das nuts

[craggy shoal]

honestly don't know much about NASes (in terms of software support)

[unreal trail]

tired'

[rancid juniper]

gonna arrest you for that one

[devout forum]

It's pretty much the same

[rigid sinew]

does anyone have a christmas build

I NEED TO KNOW

[craggy shoal]

man naht really wants builds to post

[rigid sinew]

cause theyre so cute and cool

[rancid juniper]

someone should make a $500 christmas themed toaster

[rigid sinew]

i have my pc class tomorrow where i spend 2 hours learning what parts are for

[rancid juniper]

very nice

[devout forum]

If you get a prebuilt NAS it usually has it's own OS

While there's TrueNAS and that other one LTT loves so much if you BYO

[rigid sinew]

also i found out what overclocking is

very cool

[craggy shoal]

Kinda wanna build my own NAS but that means practically a whole new comptuer and an expensive case with the proper motherboard if I wanted to do it with the features I want

Oh I've known about TrueNAS

Very weird Tailscale support though :/

[rancid juniper]

TRUENAS

[craggy shoal]

TRUENAS

[devout forum]

Wasn't it ZFS?

[craggy shoal]

I think my best option for now though is just another DAS with Thunderbolt and whatever else I need and connected it to my Mac Mini M4. Would also be nice for storing my AI models

[craggy shoal]

Some form of software RAID I barely know about

could be wrong tbh lol

[devout forum]

The problem is that DAS is stupid

[craggy shoal]

💀

[devout forum]

You can use it with one und exactly ONE computer

[craggy shoal]

no?

Just setup an SMB share and assign the directory to wherever in the DAS

[devout forum]

While a NAS you can connect to on literally anything and multiple comps at the same time
Even if those comps are a hundred miles away

[craggy shoal]

I mean

again

You can do the same with a DAS

Just connect it to a server

That's how I'm doing it rn lol

Want it
https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-ms-01

[idle nexus]

this means you think we need an official team right? 😃

[velvet summit]

would be pretty good for a small homelab without needing racks

probably lower power draw as well

[rigid sinew]

#wegg

[velvet summit]

and yeah mobile chipset, low power draw as well

[craggy shoal]

yes would be nice

I was trying to find the photo but you can fully open it up and I think it's loaded with M.2 and SATA options

[idle nexus]

or newegg could work with hwbot to host a competition? lol

[rigid sinew]

ill ask head hauncho

[idle nexus]

EVGA used to. G.Skill hosts the world championship

Asus & others have

[sinful blade]

@rigid sinew are there any openings for remote at Newegg

[rigid sinew]

nope

[sinful blade]

I got good internet and a 720p webcam

[rigid sinew]

newegg does not believe in remote

[sinful blade]

[sinful blade]

Wack

[rigid sinew]

if that were the case, id be at home everyday

[dusk knot]

HM

[idle nexus]

for G.Skill the qualifier is remote & the championship part is in Taiwan iirc

oh nvm that was unrelated to the OC thing lol

I'm gonna go suck at Fortnite with my son cuz dads make sacrifices or something lol

[rancid juniper]

no marvel rivals team up tomorrow? 🥺

[proud jackal]

eh? its going live tomorrow?

[sinful blade]

Does anyone have temu here

Or would not mind downloading it for 30s

A man needs COINS

[sweet phoenix]

Temu is a hard pass from me dawg

As it should be from anyone else

It's wish but worse and with more spyware

[sinful blade]

It is for me
Wife however wants 50 packs of nails

[dusk knot]

Join us

[rancid juniper]

yea

[nocturne flicker]

Don't buy coins from Temu

[sinful blade]

I ain’t

[sweet phoenix]

Don't buy coins from temu

[sinful blade]

I haven’t

Thankfully

[sage sluice]

Dont temu

[nocturne flicker]

Temu

[gilded kraken]

Finally the last fan for my case arrived. I got to close everything up 😄

[worn wave]

The referall games and stuff are all scams, don't waste your & other people's time.

[sinful blade]

I’ve dived deeper and saw this repeatedly

[worn wave]

For some stuff it's fine. If you need something cheap and don't want to wait for AliExpress shipping sometimes temu is faster

[sweet phoenix]

The stuff on temu isn't the issue, its the company

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry Temu will be dead in a couple months here in the US. The only good thing to come from tariffs

[sinful blade]

Temu is scummy as hell

[sage sluice]

wdym don't you love paying more for less

[worn wave]

I use it occasionally for cheap Lego knockoffs

Sometimes it has better deals than Ali

'Lepin' has gotten good in the past couple years, like 85% the quality of Lego at 30% the price

[tranquil pebble]

if I made an AV I would have everything related to Temu flagged as malicious

[tranquil pebble]

$4000 5090 here we come

[velvet summit]

I was going to say you could find them at a hardware or crafts store

Then I realized that it probably was fake nails

Not like metal nails

💀

Don't worry it'll magically fix egg prices being too high somehow.

i hope my pc can run marvel rivals

if it can run well on mine (closed beta) it can definitely do better on your rig

Waiting for that one weekly person

The guy that goes, "guys when will 5080 come out"

[nocturne flicker]

[craggy shoal]

And he just HAS to have his question answered so he'll ping the last active person and ask the same question

Guys when will 5089 come out

[craggy shoal]

When will 5080 come out please I need this answered right here

It's been quiet of people like this this week

Usually happens once every week

[nocturne flicker]

Guys when will 5080 come out please asking for a friend

[craggy shoal]

Guys I know that absolutely none of y'all would know and I am 101.99% sure about that NONE OF Y'ALL KNOW

-# but just in case

when will 5080 Ti Super X3D release ¿

[nocturne flicker]

Guys when will 10800X3D come out

[craggy shoal]

Excited for an overpriced piece of tech is wild

We're probably gonna see people asking for when GTA 7 is going to be released as soon as GTA 6 releases

Just like we had with GTA 5

[nocturne flicker]

When is Half Life 3 going to come out guys

[craggy shoal]

Guys when is Elder Scrolls Hammerfell releasing?

Where's Minecraft 2?

[nocturne flicker]

Where is Concord 2

[idle nexus]

where is the Concord movie?

[craggy shoal]

GUYS OH MY GOSH I NEED CONCORD 2 ON MY MOM'S IPAD RIGHT NOW WHEN IS IT RELEASING????!!!¿?¿!¡

mfw 2012 is in three years from now

[nocturne flicker]

Unironically they might do a documentary on how Concord flopped so hard

Historic moment in gaming

[unreal trail]

its easier on hardware to just render the environment twice for reflections than turn on raytracing

[craggy shoal]

Isn't that basically because ray tracing reflects way more than just twice?

[unreal trail]

raytracing is calculating light bouncing two or more times in the scene

the hit on the hardware is when the reflected image also has to calculate all of those light bounces

[vague fossil]

hello, i recently changed my max Freq on my 7900xtx and lowered it 5% to avoid direct X crashed in call of duty and so far it has worked but for some reason i have to change it every time i boot up computer is there a reason why my settings aren't sticking? all this is being done on AMD Software.

[idle nexus]

try MSI Afterburner maybe

tbh I dunno much about AMD cards but AB works with basically anything

[rough zinc]

AB is ass on AMD cards

DDU the drivers and see if you still have errors

And yeah AMD settings don't stick if you crash because of recovery

They don't want you to screw up your GPU because you set settings that are impossible and make it so you can't even launch your computer

[hoary zodiac]

why is there a discord update every week

[rancid juniper]

Feature is free if you buy the storage dlc*

[rancid juniper]

Adding extra useless stuff perhaps?

[hoary zodiac]

at least it's not discord mobile updates

I hate it when they change the ui for no reason whatsoever

[sinful blade]

And now I wait to grab it from family’s house

[rancid juniper]

lol

[rancid juniper]

new gaming pc?

[rigid sinew]

I HAVE A MINI PC

[rancid juniper]

fr?

pic or i aint believing

[rigid sinew]

Hehehe one sec

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s a stick pc

[rancid juniper]

usb dock

oh

LMFAO

[rigid sinew]

Let me have my moment

[hoary zodiac]

is that one of those ones with an atom?

[rancid juniper]

hopefully one of the higher end ones

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder if it's powerful enough to run a minecraft server

[rancid juniper]

na you're pushing it already

[hoary zodiac]

how much ram does it have?

[rigid sinew]

Idkkk 🤣 I’m reading the specs rn

[rancid juniper]

lol

[rigid sinew]

Ram is memory right?

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[rigid sinew]

It says 4gb/8gb LPDDRD optional

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

might be able to run a minecraft server if the cpu's not too bad

[rigid sinew]

Wanna see all the specs?

[hoary zodiac]

sure

[warm fulcrum]

anyone know any fun uses for a raspberry pi

[hoary zodiac]

nas

[tranquil pebble]

If you ever want to see what makes Windows a bad OS just compare its file IO performance to Linux. lol

Its an absolute massacre

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

they're still using NTFS

[rancid juniper]

oh its a celeron

[hoary zodiac]

it's outdated as hell and they're still using it

celeron?

[rancid juniper]

aint that better than an atom tho

[hoary zodiac]

might actually be able to run a minecraft serer

[hoary zodiac]

maybe

it's one of the crappy mobile ones

[rancid juniper]

i actually tried that chip on a laptop, its slow as hell tho

[hoary zodiac]

they're e-waste practically

[rancid juniper]

lol yea

[hoary zodiac]

maybe you can even outperform with a sandy bridge i3

[rancid juniper]

i mean its fine for basic use

[hoary zodiac]

so idk if it's any good

[rancid juniper]

just don't expect anything crazy outta it

[hoary zodiac]

can it even run windows 11?

[rancid juniper]

Windows 11 go or whatever they call it

[nocturne flicker]

Windows 11 go in the bin

[hoary zodiac]

at this point it's pretty much a linux machine

I had a laptop with a Celeron N4020 and it was really slow on windows 10

almost unuseable imo

[nocturne flicker]

I swear, never leaving Windows 10 until they force me to

[rancid juniper]

probably running this

[nocturne flicker]

And when they do I'm running to some sort of Linux

[tranquil pebble]

[craggy shoal]

[rancid juniper]

alr ill take note of that

honestly, a $300 ryzen 8000 mini pc would be enough for everything. Bonus points if you managed to fine a good cheap LP card

just set your region back to wherever you are post-installation

[hoary zodiac]

[rancid juniper]

[rigid sinew]

Should it be hot ?

[rancid juniper]

all components get hot

well since this one is fanless its a guarantee

[craggy shoal]

I mean they get hot

[rigid sinew]

Ooooo very interesting

It just turned off … I was at 58%

[hot pumice]

computers dont get hot they're lying to you

[rancid juniper]

... its probably resetting, it will continue

[rigid sinew]

Okie dokie

Oh no it’s starting from 1%

[rancid juniper]

[rigid sinew]

I’m bouts to give up

#defective

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

its all part of the windows installation experience

[rigid sinew]

Waiting sucks 😭

[rancid juniper]

real

[rigid sinew]

What does xtx stand for

[rancid juniper]

xtx?

[rigid sinew]

Ur name

[rancid juniper]

oh its just a joke of combining both RTX Ti naming and Radeon XTX

[rigid sinew]

Ooohh do people usually get it ?

[rancid juniper]

pretty sure most do

[rigid sinew]

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

but can I overclock it

[rancid juniper]

ggood why...

LMFAO

[rigid sinew]

NO no overclocking

[idle nexus]

whaaja

[rancid juniper]

first of all, how can that even work?

[idle nexus]

overclocking turns cheap RAM into expensive RAM

[rancid juniper]

i doubt its bios (if it even has one) can allow it

[idle nexus]

or ig costs the same if "time is money"

[rigid sinew]

I’m on 90%

[rancid juniper]

tbh you need a better "mini pc"

[rigid sinew]

I got it for $1

[idle nexus]

might go faster if overclocked

[rancid juniper]

😮

[rigid sinew]

[rancid juniper]

dang i cant complain anymore

[rigid sinew]

91%

It costs $200 I think but I’m too cool I just get the discounts

Lolol jk

[rancid juniper]

[rigid sinew]

[idle nexus]

overclocking is free performance

free = good

better performance = good
