Last year it was like 41k

How do you manage to listen to music for nearly an average of 12 hours a day? Do like, leave it on mute or something or fall asleep with it on?
Or is it like you work in a job you can have music on the entire time and you listen some more at home sorta thing?
fair onyx
I spend about 16 hours a day on my PC 😅
and when I am not on my PC, I have earbuds or headphones playing music where I go
I also have chromesthesia (visual/tactile reactions to sounds and audible textures), so I can listen to the same song non stop for weeks on repeat all day

i dont feel welllllllllll
fair onyx
For example, my top song this year I listened to 1638 times
nocturne flicker
Ah, I see
fair onyx
which feels kinda low... But I guess I diversified my playlist this year
instead of listening to one song nonstop, I made a playlist of all of my top songs of all time (at 18 right now) and I play them nonstop while I am at my PC
Tho, I did recently fall back into love with a song, and I have had it on nonstop for like... 6 days 😅
If wrapped was pushed back 1 month, I have full faith I would have blown past 1600 times with this song

There are plenty things that are good to buy used
my main GPU is used, my mobo is used, my HDD is used. You just have to know where to buy and be aware of the risks
I am not stranger to second hand hardware if it makes sense
My main monitor was brand new cause it was absurdly expensive, and it does degrade over time

I was worried cause it looked like smoker gunk, but the seller explained why it was so gross, and I was fine with it
He didn't even mine or hardcore game, he just lives in a very very small apartment in NYC, and he cooks at home to save money, so his GPU was gummed up with cooking oil vapors

Realistically with how GPU crypto mining kinda collapsed, that storm is over
Now gamers can't get GPUs because AI farms instead
fair onyx
he ended up selling the 3090 to me and downgrading to a 2060super, cause he just didn't need all of that GPU

Out of the frying pan straight into the fire kek
What I'm wondering is whether you can get a 7900XTX that can fit like a 11l ITX case
Cuz I'm dead set on going ITX for my next rig
Something like an A4-H2O
fair onyx
I had an absolutely tiny 3090 (that I got scammed with)
devout forum
I know stuff like the ProArt 4080S exists and it fits that case
But finding small XTX cards is harder
fair onyx
I am really considering getting a second 3090 at some point

Turns out I'm a bit of a derp

Had slightly incorrect DNS settings, now I get network wide good speed
And low latency over wifi which is honestly insane
mortal grail
I think everybody is on some level lol
True
I'm still ordering the new router tho cos I can fix some network dead spots
Should have low latency gigabit by the end of next week

I wish I could get some cool deals on GPUs
people have been saying that you could get a 3080 for $300 but they're usually around the price of a 4070 on ebay
which, you could just get a 4070 instead so whats the point
frigid stag
people have been saying that you could get a 3080 for $300 but they're usually a...
You can negotiate lower price but don’t listen to most people. They think pc parts are cheap af when they’re not
Like you can’t get 150$ 3070s like some people like to say
misty sparrow
i do look at ebay a lot and the prices they sell at are just not worth it at all
mortal grail
Oh yeah we're routing
Over wifi mesh
Les go
Worked out why I was hard lagging earlier
I cable managed everything and put the fibre cable into a lan port
I fixed it now 
Still got more network changes to do but this is really good

Yall i got a problem
I bought 3 fans
with an hub included
but it only has led ports
and i dont have enough ports to Power the fans
not even in my other hub
I think im cooked
I miss these ports
Nvm fixxed i found out the h9 flow fans have splitters 😭🙏
tranquil pebble
This is when you need to step back, calm down, then read the manuals
A learning experience
tranquil pebble
The packages usually come with at least a list of parts included
fervent raft
Why is there diff color techie
tranquil pebble
What do you mean?
That role has always been that color as long as I can remember
fervent raft
I might be seeing it as techie but they have another role over that role color
atomic mist
hmm
tranquil pebble
I might be seeing it as techie but they have another role over that role color
If it is a mod/admin they will have the staff role color overriding any techie role

what is that
frigid stag
probably some touch screen software
mortal grail
It was corsair's attempt at a stream deck
It's actually nice if only for the fact they almost never update it
storm narwhal
Fail deck cause no updates
storm narwhal
That probably is impossible to mess up
storm narwhal
What about macros
storm narwhal
Ooh okay that's good
mortal grail
None of the neat stream deck tricks
But like
Macros, programs, controls of devices
Hwinfo
It's just, lacking sustenance

It's such a weird product
storm narwhal
That's wonky af

But I can't ditch it cos it kinda works well enough
storm narwhal
They're so weird

did u get it for free
storm narwhal
Didn't they release the neo

frigid stag
ah
storm narwhal
A smol 6 button thing

I use icue on this one pc and I do weird af stuff with that app

It's actually great if they could just add more devices to it
No more software
frigid stag

oh wait i read the whole thing nvm
only read a snippet of it before
mortal grail
I use almost all my stuff off windows now
My gaming pc only uses WDL
No icue none of that
mortal grail
I tried open rgb in the past
I know a lot of people are good with that, it HATED my pc
I didn't last long lmao
mortal grail
tbh id rather just use a phone app at this point like phillips hue
This is basically how corsair is with smart home
It's like the best thing they do lol
frigid stag
so its not so bad
mortal grail
Ya
frigid stag
it has its upsides
mortal grail
Just don't use it for any pc hardware
mortal grail
The one thing they've done better than even the smart home brands themselves is that icue integration stuff
My nanoleafs are better on their app than nanoleafs
frigid stag
mortal grail
i think i have like 1 corsair product in total
Yeah I'm basically down to that nexus and an old pair of virtuoso se's I keep on display
storm narwhal
Like "NanoIQ"
frigid stag
fair enough
frigid stag
corsair stuff is expensive anyway
mortal grail
The virtuosos ironically are one of my first corsair purchases too
frigid stag
their “water cooled” 4090 prebuilts
frigid stag
they got forced to discount them 💀
storm narwhal
Its out of this world how bad it is
frigid stag
still wouldnt buy one
mortal grail
Ya still wouldn't touch it
storm narwhal
Hence Alienware
mortal grail
Way too much for a unique case
mortal grail
It's so weird to me how they do some things so well but they hardly market them
The things they market are the crappy fans, dodgy cases, ram that falls apart and comes with lockdown firmware that NO OTHER BRAND uses
High margin stuff
frigid stag
and they used some prime potato b760 with a 14900k <:kekw:741678350791081994>
tbh it was mainly youtubers and streamers who bought those pcs anyway
mortal grail
tbh it was mainly youtubers and streamers who bought those pcs anyway
Really sad tbh
I like the case anyway, as bad as it is
Looks nice if I could buy it
frigid stag
to be fair they dont make their own ram they just use whatever dies they get
mortal grail
Ye but they do pmic locks
frigid stag
whats that
mortal grail
And hardly proper binning
Ok so you know how like
You buy a ram set and it comes with an xmp
frigid stag
ye
frigid stag
mhm
frigid stag
ah
mortal grail
You can't overvolt
mortal grail
Win for them cos anyone buying ram from them most likely don't know what it means
So you can't overvolt by accident or whatever
frigid stag
probably true
frigid stag
they used to have b die but they sold it for like 400$
mortal grail
The new gen stuff also delid's itself
frigid stag
mortal grail
It's like old school trident Z but worse
frigid stag
their dom plats ram 6000c30 costs as much as 8000mts from other brands
its shiny tho
✨
mortal grail
Ya it's insane how much they charge
But it's all like that, high margin, poor quality
But the actually good stuff
frigid stag
most people just buy their ram cause it looks good
mortal grail
Like their 12vhpwr cables, psus, the nexus, the smart home integration
The RS max fans
All that, just ignored mostly
It's really sad cos all those are really good
With only a price drawback at most
mortal grail
They also have elgato which is good, fanatec which is getting better again
tranquil pebble
I buy my RAM based on $/GB and perf ratio... and avoid RGB

I'd rather a liquid cooled ssd
frigid stag
its kind of a gimmick no?
mortal grail
The way I recall it
They dissipate the heat off the metal side plates
But the liquid is like
Marginally better?
Meanwhile a fan over it just wins
I'll see if I can find the video
tranquil pebble
It looks cool is likely the selling point

That's just rgb in general
tranquil pebble
That's just rgb in general
and before that you had UV lamps and glowing cables
mortal grail
If you run the LED's too often and it shines onto a black backplate, it can stain the backplate with UV discolouring
Speaking of which thanks for reminding me
Turned mine off for a bit lol
tranquil pebble
UV laser etching a pattern onto a backplate would be cool though
mortal grail
I had it on my 3080
The rgb backplates you can buy, it stained a white-ish yellow mark for every led across it
Learned my lesson from that, those cheap ones from V1tech leave your gpu susceptible to that
If you're into those
Jmmods covers them, does a double layer job, way better
Maybe it was this vid?
I thought derbauer had one
Anyway
