something like this. ig what it says depends on Windows version lol

#

some ASUS boards have autorecovery for lost Windows boots

#

you could also try temporarily enabling CSM in BIOS. Sometimes that helps for whatever reason

what are .tar files on Linux? .tar & .json always feel like it's a virus lol

#

heckin java

velvet summit
#

Tar is tarball

#

It's like zip

#

Wait

#

No

#

GZ is like zip

idle nexus
#

7z is like zip

velvet summit
#

Tar is tape archive

#

For back when tape drives were common

#

.tar.gz is like zip or 7z

idle nexus
#

oh so .tar is a compressed file

#

I thought it was like .exe for Linux or something

velvet summit
#

Lmao

idle nexus
#

but ig .exe on Linux is also .exe

#

isn't there like .bin also

#

like when I want to download something for Linux there are usually at least two options

#

usually .tar & .deb

#

& it's been years but I never figured out which one

#

I usually go with .deb iirc cuz debian? I dunno

#

or .cab? cabinet?

velvet summit
#

Yeah Deb is like exe for windows

But specifically for debian based os

You could also get the classic Sony's for cheap

The MDR 7 whatever

I had some of those

the cable on them is just awful

For the price it's understandable

oh wait I had different white ones

MDRX310AP

#

my son used them at school for a year & broke them lol

velvet summit
#

Oh those look like ewaste lol

idle nexus
#

his SteelSeries headphones kept acting funny

#

so SteelSeries made us break them, send picture, & they gave us store credit

velvet summit
#

Some people hate coiled cables which is what the mdr7506 has

idle nexus
#

somehow that translated into him using Nova 7p while I use these cheap ones

velvet summit

But it's a solid headphone (and classic)

#

I don't like coiled cables tbh

#

reminds me of a 90s phone

34 years old that headphone would be

Snapping them

Or cutting the cables

kek nothing a 3d print or soddering iron cant fix

#

I always thought it was weird how companies would tell people to break their products if they want a replacement device/credit

velvet summit

It's to discourage rma fraud

velvet summit
#

But it would cost more than it's worth to return it to them

fresh timber
#

have legit problem, rma, break it, get new one, fix broken one

velvet summit
#

Anker does the same, one of my cables stopped working reliability, they told me to cut it and send proof and then they sent a replacement

#

Actually, they told me to send proof after the replacement arrived

when my stuff breaks i just buy new stuff kek

must have been torture for tiktok kids

velvet summit

True

World ending even

#

They couldn't doomscroll in the middle of the night

#

All things considered they literally picked the least affected time to ban tiktok since most would be going to bed (assuming normal sleep schedule) and then they unbanned after everyone woke up

#

Truly the greatest publicity stunt of all time

craggy shoal

y'all have a normal sleep schedule?

proud jackal

you mean y'all don't go to sleep at 3pm and then suffer at work for the next 8 hours after waking up at the ripe time of 6am?

I normally do but last night I was busy cooking so I was up a bit later than usual

I've been sleeping for like 13 hours the last week, and I've been so stiff lmao

I know it's been longer

It wasn't actually that long of an uptime

is having 2x 512GB SATA SSDs in RAID0 worth it as a short-medium tern replacement for NVME drives?

I'm thinking of getting those Intel SATA SSDs cuz they seem to be cheap

velvet summit

Tf you doing ???

remote geode

proud jackal

I have a lot of sata ssds that still work, just depends on how hard you work them

remote geode
#

Cuz my Lexar NQ710 is disconnecting every time I try to play Forza

but when I do all sorts of troubleshooting, it works fine

velvet summit
#

I mean, older SSDs do tend to have more endurance due to flash technology but like

Nvmes still normally shouldn't die quite as fast

same thing happened to my WD Blue SN550 512GB after 1½ year

I'm buying a thermal pad to replace the stock one already in there to see if that helps

velvet summit

If not, I'll just get a 2TB Intel SSD for like 80USD

so both budget drives

When we inquired if the company would offer redress to customers who had purchased the WD Blue SN550 but had not received the performance they paid for, the spokesperson told us:
For any WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD with the new configuration that is under warranty but does not meet performance requirements, customers can reach out to our Customer Service team for assistance with replacement.
The SN550 comes with a five-year warranty, so this should literally cover any drive.

AOC?

#

Cuz I'm heavily eyeing that same display myself

#

1440p 240hz QD-OLED

#

I'm hoping someone's gonna get one so I has reference whether it's bad with flicker

#

It's like 30% cheaper than all the other OLEDs and if it's not too bad there's basically no downside

tranquil pebble
icy ore
#

AOC has actually gotten really good

#

I’m impressed

tranquil pebble
#

Same thing happened with Acer... they started out as trash tier

devout forum
#

My issue is that I read somewhere that the AOC 1440P 240hz QD-OLED has significant flickering issues

#

So I'm not 100% sure it's worth buying (cuz it's still like 25% premium over the Xiaomi mini-LED IPS)

#

But all the other QD-OLED is like 30% premium above the AOC so it's that or no OLED

quantum dot has become just a buzzword. It is being attached to LCD panels for marketing purposes

#

Or maybe it's not an actual issue

#

But again
The price is pretty right

frigid stag
#

It’s kinda like PWM on the iPhone x’s a few years ago

devout forum
#

I'd say it's an actually affordable QD-OLED for the 2nd version

#

So it could actually be good

frigid stag
#

I mean affordable doesn’t always mean good

#

Idk exactly how much it is but Iirc it’s in the LG oled price range. Maybe those are better idk

#

They’re older screens though and not glossy though so there’s that, might be a bit dimmer too

devout forum
#

The problem for me is that any other OLED (even WOLEDs) cost 30+% more

#

Like AOC undercuts everyone by so much

Idk how much it’s gonna cost but asus are making a monitor that’s meant to have similar or faster response time than oled and brighter

devout forum
#

AOC is really the most cost-effective one

devout forum
#

I don't mind being dimmer if the flip side is being literally infinite contrast and more color

frigid stag
#

Ips isn’t a huge difference unless you get one of those mega backlight bleed ones

devout forum
#

It IS a massive difference tho

#

Like comparing my phone AMOLED to my PC IPS screen

#

It's not even slightly a contest

frigid stag
#

Can barely tell the difference between these 2

devout forum
#

If you put them side by side IPS WILL look like dogcrap

#

Like I can already see the grey

#

That's not black, that's grey

#

Like the 1440p 180hz mini-LED IPS Xiaomi is 147k HUF for me
The AOC 240hz QD-OLED is roughly 248k

#

But the IPS to OLED jump is just several leagues

frigid stag
devout forum
#

Seeing an actual OLED panel in person just
Permanently ruined IPS

#

Like IPS will never have those inky blacks with that color range + motion perf with VRR on

#

You can mini-LED all you want

#

You can make your 2500 dimming zone 24" IPS

#

It's NEVER going to have everything

#

There will always be artifacts and light bleed

#

Like look at a night sky on a mini-LED

And then look at the same image on an OLED

#

And you'll realize that mini-LED was a cheap imitation of a night sky while the OLED is like looking through a window

#

What, 3000 dimming zone on a 27" 1440p mini-LED
Vs
3.7 MILLION dimming zones on a 27" 1440p OLED

#

And I don't know of any mini-LED monitor that actually has 3k dimming zones rn

#

Most is stuck below 2k

#

There is literally almost 2000× the "dimming zones" with OLED

#

At the same res

#

Not to mention there are no 1080p mini-LEDs either

#

OLED is the future, but I do hope mini-LED pushes OLED prices down

My sister needs an upgrade badly

Her PC is legitimately older than me

His rig is ~12yo tech he got used ~6 years ago

Mine is the most modern and most powerful rn

#

He's been talking about his rig running poorly lately and that he should upgrade, but he doesn't want to spend on a whole new system

#

But the platform is such a dead end I don't think you can even get parts for it anymore

And I don't want to like straddle him with a used AM4 build cuz then the whole idea of being able to interchange parts becomes moot

that cable right against the heatsink is somewhat concerning, because those heatsink fins can be sharp and may eventually short some cables if the abrasion over time of vibrations from fans and thermal cycles causes the insulation to be cut through
