I'll give you a sir yes sir later
Sir yes yes
Oo yes

why don't you sir yes sir dee-
Screw it, my brain is fried
Screw it sir
Screw sir
Sir
S
Sir this is a Wendy's
URRRAAAAAHHHH
Wendy's nuts
I'll turn you into a Wendy's
lmfao turns out people mod the bioses in these machines
I'd believe it
Just overvolt 
Thats what I'm saying
With enough voltage your temps will drop so low
So low
Are you telling me a shrek built this swamp
You won’t even be able to see the temps on screen
Im telling you a Shrek built you
Back in my day we only Shreked the swamp not swamped the Shrek
is that a bomb in the background
lol nah it's 1200w Toughpower not smart
You will be once I'm done
a 1200w bomb
Smart...choice
hasn't gone off yet

Overvolt it
it even survived the great 5900x build flood of 2021
Ew I don't want food poisoning
What did you dooooo
I swear you've said this like 5 times now 
New plan, remove all the grounding from your house and Overvolt everything
Overvolt it
May or may not have done that before on some of my amps
STAHP
PYROMANIAC
one of my cheap ass Amazon Freezemod fittings let go
No it makes it run faster
ampophile
I'll show you faster in a minute
Ahh the classic
retro cpu
Sadly
It's not even a quad core
Tbh my gpu is the bottleneck out of all my stuff 
wtf
Should’ve removed the grounding 🤦
I should be retro with these backpains
Not enough magic smoke
As long as they keep making 4 core i3s it’s decent
I'll retro you in a minute


Someone is selling a switch for $75 right down the road from me
network switch or nintendo switch
Nintendo switch
Or light switch
L
@hoary zodiac was it you who was skeptical about the res of the legion go
Or people switch
Cisco best switch
Managed switch
We really need to update this. I’ll see what we can do
o lord not cisco
Toggle Switch
I was skeptical about the practicality of a 1440p display on a small device
TP-link>>>>>
My router has built in switch :smart:
We need a whole new set of emotes to replace the OOD ones
$75 OBO
Forgot I don’t have nitro lul
i got news for you, on bazzite atleast 1080p looks nice when your using fsr for scaling
$350, all I can do
Oh that’s a pretty good model year
yes
lol those things are $.92 at Home Depot. How is that profitable?
I used to have the knob ones 
You could DIY them
Adjustable lighting
Fsr scaling
Should Overvolt your diy light switches
lol you could but for $.92 ehh
Can i overvolt my will to lice?
You can also set it with steam launch options

you can still get rotary dimmers
but don't use them on LEDs
you should get LED rated dimmer for LEDs
I wish I had those
My apartment is “not allowed to have custom lighting replacements, fixtures, or switches that were not put in by apartment staff.”
Rotary dimmers sucked

or you could get humming &/or flickering
humming and flickering?
:(
you think they have pictures or wrote down what's there? lol
That sucks
My haunted house is gunna be sick this year
It’s all the same for every apartment
I kind of live in a higher end apartment
Usually old people around
I mean
I still gotta replace all these ballasts with bypass bulbs in these fixtures, ive been putting this off for way too long 
can they really take your security deposit for improving the place?
I don’t think the ones I had at home were led
They can evict us lmao
They were probably halogen or something
We had an incident involving rent and we’re on a pretty tight rope with them
lol it's so satisfying to open up a florescent fixture, see all 95 different wires going in 8 directions, & just cut everything out & rewire one side of the tombstone to neutral & the other to hot
like forget all that complicated nonsense ballast 15 wire crap
heckin diagram
like nope
hot neutral ez
I love seeing the outcome of it so much but when you got like 50 of them to do, it sucks so bad
oh ya nvm that's too much
but when you turn them all on it the first time feels like real life RTX on
GTA 6 vibes
Downside of living in a church 
Bro is a priest
Interesting
Nah, my frat's house is a church
lol well you might as well change them cuz even tho you can get the ballasts fairly easily, T8 & T12 bulbs keep getting more expensive
it's almost like they don't want you installing glass balloons full of mercury anymore
Oh wait it’s coming out this year
T8s are also impossible to find in bulk these days
For a normal price at least
My frat lmao
I'm back what did I miss
Yeah we've been using T12s but the ballasts are rated for T8s so they get used up a lot faster
T12 prices are willld
10 years ago $15 would probably get you like a 12 pack lol
Home depot has like packs of 50 for around $60
I just discovered a new phone feature
Falling in love with the xperia again I have discovered I have a shortcut for my multi window layouts
There are some tubes that can bypass the ballast and fit both t8/12 fixtures. there’s some rewiring involved
that's not so bad ig then
No more messing with apps I can now press one button and it's amazing
btw I saw this thing I meant to do on Win11...
I am xperia converted again
it's like so stupid that I wondered if it works
Yeah that's what I'm in the process of doing now, more expensive upfront cost but it will get rid of headaches in the future
Each bypass bulb is around $40 but they should last for a while being LED
Yep. I work in the Lowe’s electrical department. I would know

Windows 11 has gotten a lot better. However, we can make it even better by doing a few tweaks, restoring some older windows apps, and messing with the UI. Today I'm going to show you some of my favorite ways to improve Windows 11.

Oh damn, I never knew that
can it be this easy to kill telemetry? lol
I just found out today I can drag an app off of my main screen and use it in a smaller draggable view
how did I never notice this horrible service
Yeah pop out view?
I've had that since like my 2012 iphone lol
Picture in picture
But now I have a shortcut
I can press one button and it does all of it

Discord widgetttttt
I've used it since high school lol
I don't know what I'll use it for yet but it's still cool
It used to be harder to run
Like the feature was always there but the phones would really be going ham using it
I can swipe through my insta reels and tinder at the same time, it's beautiful
Nowadays they can really get away with it
Wow now you can be lonely at 2x speed
Thanks android

Insta is just brain rot tho
is it really this easy to stop telemetry?
Wtf
Wtf
Ain't no way
block it on ur dns 
just ad dword (32-bit)
Ain't no damn way
that's what dude in this video is claiming lol

The answer is windows 7
After
I wonder if server 2022 is any decent
telementry? whats that
Ye idk how to do that 
I need to set up pihole heck
Too advanced
the answer is buy a better cpu
nah its easy
I did do this tho
I probably should setup a proxmox vm to run a pi hole
and this
I do use windows
which you probably do
Ye win 10
I probably should reinstall. I think this install broke 
you can get a mini pc for pretty cheap
first time within the last 12 months?
y'all have way better luck with microsoft than me
But I either got a virus or windows just went haywire
my windows installs always break within a year
ok this is sick
Microsoft edge just keeps opening pop ups of itself
at this point I'm so fed up I haven't touched windows for months
lmfao
i want to swap my desktop to linux but those 4 games i have tht dont like linux 
it shouldn't
I mean it opens hundreds if I don’t keep spamming it to close it
ok there is something seriously wrong with your system
And I checked task manager and antimalwareservice.exe is on high priority 
windows 11 was the final straw for me
Maybe edge is the virus after all
I just went screw it and swapped over
I couldn’t use Linux
they ask money for windows btw
Edge you gotta like
I wouldn't pay for that broken pile of crap spyware called windows 11
turn those first two things off
I hate that crap
ya open Edge at startup & keep running background stuff
Of course we all have paid for all of our legally acquired windows keys 
THANKS
that background crap is the worst
But that’s not in the windows settings
I think some stuff still sneaks past the windows startup settings
lol terraria runs with w2 thread
I feel like keeping windows privacy, power, & background crap settings is a fight that never ends
yeah
u can force it tho 
I had to reinstall every couple months
I tried in regedit
just to get the bloatware out
Nothing xD
hate bloat? go linux
the windows updates kills the install over time
& re-enables garbage
I am on linux
24H2 ISO has bitlocker & hypervisor enforced code integrity on by default
so much CRAP
windows 11 is like manjaro
It's the better chrome anyway
janky as hell
ya I like Edge
and full of updates people didn't ask for (that also breaks the system)
I'd rather use Edge than feed the Google data collection pig
I use librewolf with duckduckgo
not even microsoft gets my data
Duckduckgo is nice
i consider edge as bad as apple OS
is there a Chromium for Windows? I always forget to look lol
I need at least 1 chromium browser for my needs and edge comes with built-in adblock now
there is
whenever I use ubuntu I use Chromium
you guys use adblock built into your browser?
librewolf has ublockorigin built in
It's not an extension anymore it's integrated
i only use ublock for youtube 
Ye like this
I am considering pihole later
[Uses .exe installer]
I'm running this command everytime Windows installs an update from now on
Check Status:
Dism /Online /Get-Featureinfo /Featurename:Recall
It's going to be everywhere
And it's a nightmare
package managers are way faster tho
what's the windows one again
winget?
it's nice they have an actual package manager on windows now
I like the ability to choose
Don't need extra bloat
lol save this for when things inevitably get terrible:
Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:Recall
NTLite
i did it for safe mesures, microsoft might be lying to us
lol probably ya
heckin Microsoft
that's all you need to do
Alr here's my buyer's pitch
iv been firefox for 3 years
What about any other app
The aur ok
oh if you ever need to install local account & bypassnro doesn't work, there's a workaround
so for example if you use yay
What's the aur
yay -S [package name]
Yay?
arch user repo
Yay
What's yay doing
save this for a rainy day lol
yay is a pacman frontend that allows you to get aur packages as well as regular pacman packages
at least it doesn’t give me google ai overview
Right, in the repo
So
basically most packages available for arch linux
If I need something more obscure
you can just install with one line
I'm gonna attempt to make a reg key for that disable telemetry thing
Pacman joined USPS, he's got packages for you
I've done this before... I can handle this okay
I made this one lol
you have to open up your web browser, google the exe, go to the download page, download the exe, install the exe
the package manager does it all for you
It's multiple steps if it's not in the repo 
I think this was me...
this one I definitely made but I'm not entirely sure if it works lol
Like I type libre and it gets librewolf
But specific commands are exactly the biggest gripe I have with linux lol
oh ya I used to hate that when I'd try to do like
sudo apt install [name but I dunno the numbers]
& it would be like NOPE
do yall also use usbc to ethernet adapters for ur handhelds
my disable HDCP reg key doesn't work universally cuz the name of the GPU in regedit changes
I have a ROG Ally rn but it's my nephew's
but even then you cut out multiple steps
I made my wireless latency so good it's 2ms difference
I just reinstalled windows & updated UEFI cuz he locked himself out of it somehow
and another benefit

one command to update all your packages
depends on distro
I don't really like the debian package manager
It's pretty annoying
I'm listening
in my room i have no latency issues, living room starts giving issues, but theres the isp router there so i connect to that ap and no more problems
but i did put a ethenet cable at my bed for wired internet when in bed 

and also
guess what
you get to update whenever you want
and you can select packages to ignore
I only backhaul the isp router
i love linux
My main point is byo
wireless backhaul? :0
Yes
ew
I use my own for main service
im sorry for you
apt update && apt upgrade isnt that hard to type
oh no that was the argument against non package manager
not against apt specifically
oh
im confused now
ur using a wireless backhaul but its wired?
oooo so u use wireless if ur main fails
Yes
smart
I have fiber
oo
whats your other isp?
Same isp
so you have two fiber lines or something
o
1 fiber
Switching from manual to automatic
Video credit to @carvertical_com
#reels #car #cars #cargram #carinstagram #trending #viral
In case the fiber goes out
what does it connect to?
Which it hasn't yet but handy to have
Ethernet port on the router
yeah but if it goes out.. what are u connecting to for wifi
that's not the worst part
join me in coax cables on the power poles
the worst part is replacing the whole thing
If the fiber goes out I connect to mobile
If mobile also goes out well ig the country is on fire
and now u got net again
im so confused
iv never see this setup in all my life of lerking in homelab server
It sits there with a mobile connection
well, that kinda goes for dsl and coax and the good old phone lines lol
as well as power cables and water mains and such
Maybe I should draw this lmao
true but like
this is why there's the site surveys before any work gets done
with how brittle fiber optic is
its glass
sounds brittle asf
coax, so;lder the two ends back toghter and it prob works 
I think this is right?
im too lazy to fix that
oh my god I haven't updated my packages in weeks
well I mean
that's not a rolling release tho
speaking of proxmox
I have a very stupid idea
of making a really janky network setup
basically my minipc is going to connect to the shared wifi network
route it through proxmox into a pfSense vm
your setup is better than mines 
woudlnt a mini pc with dual ports make a good pf sense machine
well
problem is
I have one with a single port
I could hook it up to a switch tbh
then into my wireless ap
it's gonna be jank but
shared wifi shenanigans
I wonder tho
tbh if ur smart and hate ur self enough you probbb could get that working
if I could get rid of the wireless access point by just using the proxmox machine as the access point itself
i mean if u plug a wifi adapter into it yeah
I'd have 2 wifi adapters then
the built in one
and one for AP
Not sure if proxmox likes me passing through hardware network adapters tho
I tried passing my network adapter through kvm on my laptop
it was not particularly a fan
does the host lose access to it?
yes
if your using containers it might still get access
which shouldn't be an issue
I think for anything within the minipc I could use virtual network adapter to pass the network connection through to the other vms
for physical ones I should be fine too
I got a usb wifi adapter with an antenna
that'd be the AP one
are u fine with like.. weak aps
range, speeds, etc
your range might be fine, but your speeds 💀
yall got weird setups 
yeah I'm trying to keep it compact
so when I move I don't have to pack as much fragile equipment
how about you jsut get a router with an ap built in and call it a day 
firewall tho?
yall got very intresting setups
u can use openwrt or freshtomatos
now u can cofnigure how u like
What the hell
ah
openwrt works on any router?
u can check
Works on a lot
I got a crappy asus router
I use merlin and cake
Merlin probably works then lol
that'd honestly simplify my setup by a lot
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ type the router in here and see if it supports
but my my asus router in ap mode supports it but you have to like ssh into the damn thign and do some nerd nerd stuffi didnt feel like doing
Vex does it make sense now what I'm doing on my net lol
my netgear, it didnt really care, just put the firmware file into the updater and it accepted it
gimmie second
im oding alot rn 
ok
so you have dual wan, mobile 5g router and your parents router
turns out openvrt has support for my router
No these are all mine
not merlin tho
okay so your 5g router and your main router
Ye
it has two wans going into it
Ye
and then it goes to a wifi 5 ap, then some mesh units
so it runs on linux?
Ye
so besides wireless backhaul being 🤮 90% of the time its good
i want to put a wireless backhaul in my dads house
theirs like a weird spot where if i move 5 feet in one direction i loose the connection, but move back and it works 
They gave me a wireless fallback so I'll utilise it
putting backhaul in the location with internet would be peak for the weird spots with out net
the question is
So I get good signal everywhere
9ms unloaded, 11 loaded everywhere
Cake is really nice when it works well
my minipc only has one ethernet port
should I hook it up to a switch
or hook it up to the router directly
yeah, my dad only gets 50/10 so i coudlnt care if its a good mesh or not, i just wanna scroll tiktok in that one room and not have to go on data
if i move into my dads house im going to pay for xfinity to come pout and give me like 500/20 
Exactly
then guess what, dual wan for me 
good enough
It's a little touchy
better than no internet
But yeah I went to town on my net lmao
I have 2 nighthawk level ones for gaming to ethernet, then mainly wifi 5 for the rest with streaming
The mesh latency is 2ms everywhere
my wifi is being wonky asf rn wtf 
Moca adapters?
Sorry networking is not my strongest suit despite my home setup lmao
coax into internet
they take the existing coax lines, like the ones some isps use, and route internet packets through them
So the modem router combo is the wall port?
you put a moca at the router, and a moca at the room you want intenet in
Oh yeah no I see
ohhhh
You're just using coaxial then lol
I get it yeah
so if you already have coax in the house
I should revise my diagram, I have a fiber modem that the parent router connects to
you don't have to tear down the walls to route networking cables through it
theirs a coax going into my ips router to provide it internet, then i put one in my room and my isp router has moca protocall built in
using one cable for wan and lan is fun
Oh so it's like bridging?
idk
my router supported it so i didnt have to buy two adapters for it 
Do we have any networking people in this server
We have a couple
correct
343 would likely know
Oh it's a little like meshing is it
it can mesh
if i put a moca adpter in another room, they all share the gigabit link
Wireless ye?
so if room a and b have moca, if room a uses gigabit then room b gets choked out too
then room c is connected to the router providing net to room a and b
not catching onm
im so tired i cant spell 
This is fun
yes
yes
i plug into the coax port in my wall, the xfinity box plugs into the coax port into the wall
Right I'm all the way there now LOL
i plug ethernet up to each if nessary, and boom it works
in my instance, sense the coax is what gives xfinity internet, i dont need to run a cable to the adapter sense its built into the modem router thingy
Yep I completely understand now
I should really take a look at my old switches
I have really cheap netgear ones just for consoles
*nobody makes them 😦
can I have one
The ones that don't need much
my setup is funny in my room
10gbps is wild
i have a switch connected to my moca, that gives me internet to my bed, cause i want ethernet at my bed for 0 reason, then it has a cable going to my ap/switch setup for my consoles and pc 
I think my fastest ports are 2.5 but my net is (supposed to be) gigabit so
downside, if im routing between bed and ap/switch rip the other devices talking to the internet
i limit my self to 500mbps for that ;/
I haven't worked out bandwidth limits on my devices yet
Cake is supposed to manage that tho I think
Nothing goes down if I do a big download
So not really sure
i have a wire at my setup for my handheld i plugin so i can not.. choke my uplink to xfinity
u gotta design ur network good, or just overkill your unplinkss 
Oh yeah I learnt that the hard way LOL
i might ugprade my gear to 2.5gig so my gigabit handheld cant make my other gigabit devices notice
i ❤️ cat6a
Funny you mention that
I have a messed up cable set
My ethernets were basically advertised as scams at the time I bought them
"Cat 7/8" 
But they do gigabit which is good enough
two flex minis please ❤️
And over 10m+ so I'm chilling
but nobody makes 40gbase-t
reminder than im mostlikley younger than you
But none of the cables have failed me, nor failed the gigabit test so I'm good lol
They also didn't cost some stupid price
my peers at school are stupid
some of each generation gets smarter
dont complment this generation
the rest gets dumber
6 years ago I didn't know what a graphics card was so yeah 
the kids at my school think im stupid. i remind my self deep down that their morrons
wait
how old are you
18
I'm the old dude
you youngins
Lmao
im 19

Honestly you kinda do lmao
im so confused on why steam is downloading at 140mbps when i clearly can do more, my link speed is at 1.2gb
and mf is right next to the damn ap
instead
Isp throttle?
it's "skibidi toilet, rizz, ohio..." you get the picture
Weird
im doing 590/20 
Oh what it could be
i say it then cringe
Maybe the server is slow
mhh ur right
the feeling of someone being mad at me for saying the c word is better than the cringe of saying "skibidi"
steam glitchin
Ye
I'll join you on that hill
LOL
Its coming from Microsoft servers smh
Anyway Vex that diagram is only half the story btw
bro their download servers are so bad
Their servers in general are awful lmao
Wifi 5 nodes for streaming
do all your aps mesh properly?
coolll
No
flight sim takes forever to download
Especially if you play halo infinite at a higher skill level and you're not in the US
even with good internet
My AP's are separated intentionally
dont worry my ap and xfinity box dont mesh
My nodes are synced intentionally
especially for a game that has double digit gigabytes worth of updates
i wish i could mesh my nodes, if i walk into living room line of site to xfinity box im still connected to my ap and my speeds are poo
I swear all IT/Engineering people are OCD
That was outta nowhere, like, $80?
That sucks ngl lol
Okay, so I’m not crazy
5700XT is like 40% better for 120
So yeah
Somewhere around there
5700XT is like 2070S level
Was arguing with a guy, I was right
steamservers are just broken
or 1080ti
Really this tbh
usually the steam servers are decent
2070-ish, but no rt
Preetty sure its just Microsoft servers
Wtf lol
ITS POO ON MY PC TOO
yeah I think your steam traffic is being routed through steam to the microsoft servers
oo and its going back up oo
Lmao
pc fine
Oh
Yeah that's just server links
Why get back into infinite anyway
Oh yeah btw unlike homelab we pg here
liisten man
ignore me
I stopped at like season 6
i just retype it
You're fine
Haven't looked back
yeah bot does not have mercy
I played for the SMG a little bit then nothing else
we don't care but the bot does
I've been kicked enough times by the bot
bot doesn't care enough to kick the other bots that join every other day
Most of which helping people
LOL
Like that GF1 psu got me kicked like 3 times cos the link had profanity
Oh yeah it had to be whitelisted
That's hilarious
It's the companies own link too
confirmed its not my handheld 
Yeah there you go lol
Server links frfr
Send gaben text
"Servers slow pls reboot"
What are the odds he actually does it


He doesn't think like normal people
i heard he does respond as mucuh as he can
I can totally imagine it
Steam is having a small uptick in reports
whats making me mad is it working fine on my desktop
but tiny computer wants to throw a fit
Is your cpu warm
You can throttle speed if the little boi hot boxin
its always warm 
Lol
i rebooted
Just download on desktop and transfer locally
lets see
Ez
thats what i was going to do next 
You could stick a cooling pad or like an ice pack on the back to see if it's throttling from temps
my nas has made everything 20x easier when it comes to transfering files between computers
Just for the memes
Oh I meant like using steam transfer LOL
Speaking of making things easier
a reboot kinda fixed the speed problems
Why does bluetooth still suck
fr
Still uses 2.4ghz
Everything is ancient slow on bluetooth
OOO IT WORKS
2.4ghz aint even bad
i can push 100mbps through my 2.4ghz
Ya I think quick share uses 2.4
still also using old standards from BT as well
Quick share is decent
WiFi btw
that's probably why wireless mice still uses 2.4GHz receivers instead of bluetooth
quickshare uses direct wifi and bluetooth
u know whats intresting to me
Can't say for sure if it uses 2.4 exclusively
you can stream lossless audio, but you cant stream it to ur earbuds
ikr
fix bluetooth, give more bandwith, lossless need what? 1mbps at most?
Yeah I think it was just the bandwidth limitations that BT has set rn
ai says its this
Not like Ultra Wide Band isn't a thing
BT mouse is usually 125hz and switching to 2.4ghz gets you 1000hz+ pooling rate
also why is bluetooth latnecy so bad, 2.4ghz doesnt even have bad latency as mice have proven 
my ps5 controller to my ps5 with its special bluetooth works fast too 
It just seems odd to be where it is
it's like microusb
Yeah this tbh
until usb c came along
The people that would bother to make it better are already using 2.4ghz
i think the main thing with bluetooth is powerdraw
for earbuds? prob not good idea to push 1mbps through them
but over earheadphones with decent battery? id sacrifise battery life if that means im pushing mbps for audio
This is how innovation fixes things lol
LDAC moment
We need bluetooth 6
seriosuly, we already have usbc to 2.4ghz dongles for wireless gaming headsets just cause bluetooth is poop
so clearly they know how to fix it
Introducing bluetooth 6, now with 2.4ghz
and bluetooth is just still bluetooth
i think theirs gaming earbuds that use usbc to connect the case to your computer/console, the the case to the earbuds just for lower latency
That's actually genius
making ur own protocall and system is better than bluetooth 

Lmfao
I wonder if it's better to just stream stuff through wifi

There is actual bandwidth you can use in Wifi
2.4ghz wifi is littrely perfect for this
wifi direct needs a comeback
It really does
It absolutely is
I've heard that Bluetooth Low Energy is supposed to be pretty good
bluetooth 6.0, higher power draw for both devices but better sound quality
low power and nice audio quality
Soon wifi will be so fast that it'll use less energy than bluetooth
Just by existing
you know whats crazy
It's probably going to be more popular to just use wifi with wifi 8 aiming for consistency and stability
what if they just streamed audio over the network 
genius
instead of bluetooth headphones you install a app to conect your headphones to wifi, then any computer with the app can stream to it 
That's another great idea
