hi everyone

hoary zodiac
#

mobile pentium/celerons are literal e-waste

#

I despise them

twin laurel
#

She ready

hoary zodiac
#

desktop you can make a case for them

nocturne flicker
#

It's not all about the Pentiums anymore peepoSadSip

twin laurel
hoary zodiac
#

but mobile is straight up

twin laurel
#

not dusty just plastic

hoary zodiac
#

dogtrash

twin laurel
hoary zodiac
#

even used sandy bridge cpus

#

with crappy cooling

#

will destroy a newer pentium

twin laurel
#

do i install windows first boot up?

lone mango
#

Yeah plug the thumb drive in

twin laurel
#

alr

#

ima get it on a usb rn

hoary zodiac
#

average pentium

#

used hardware is always better than these e-waste tier cpus

#

at least with desktop pentiums they made some sense

#

until ryzen ofc

#

dual cores went bye bye

#

there's a reason AMD didn't make more athlons

#

honestly athlons were pretty nice for a time

#

the zen ones anyways

#

dual cores were well on their way out at that point

#

so when zen 2 came along

#

poof

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

I mean yeah wasn't it ivy bridge?

#

you would've had... what

#

core 2 quad?

#

yeah at the time there really weren't much options

#

it's not until haswell

#

when a decent used market started popping up

#

it was good because stagnation

#

makes sense

#

they're still high end at that point

#

performance was definitely high end

#

I'd say you would've actually had a value used market

#

if you were on the haswell generation

#

trying to buy older

#

or skylake actually

#

since ddr3 platforms were starting to get phased out

lone mango
#

Bruh I keep forgetting to turn on rebar

hoary zodiac
#

man we have ddr5 now

#

I remember when used ddr3 was still pretty good

#

I still run a haswell mini pc

#

got a minecraft server running on 16GB of sodimms

#

really tempted to upgrade to coffee lake

hoary zodiac
#

haswell ipc is epic

lone mango
#

I thought about this

nocturne flicker
#

The higher end ddr3 is fine

hoary zodiac
#

at least for home servers

lone mango
#

Although my mini pc is very weak

hoary zodiac
#

unironically I'd still run a haswell if they didn't use so much power

#

for servers ofc

#

haswell as in xeons

#

not desktop platforms

nocturne flicker
#

Higher end ddr3 is basically low end ddr4 but more power hungry, hotter and with chonky heat spreader

lone mango
#

It has the n95 🥀

nocturne flicker
#

What little you can find that is

hoary zodiac
#

what's the n95 again

#

isn't that kinda new

lone mango
#

Yeah

hoary zodiac
#

that might be faster than my 4570

lone mango
#

Alder lake 4 core no ht

hoary zodiac
#

that might actually be faster than my 4570

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

oh shoot

lone mango
#

I think 4k output is pushing it

hoary zodiac
#

it has a h265 codec

#

why are you running windows on it

#

reeeee

lone mango
#

linux has some weird issues with intel igpus

#

Video decode doesnt work

hoary zodiac
#

oh the N95 is actually slightly faster than a 4570

lone mango
#

It uses 3d engine for video which is weird

hoary zodiac
#

probably not the most reliable of sources

lone mango
#

It is super stuttery

hoary zodiac
#

wish they'd show cinebench scores

#

wait

#

IS THAT THE SCORE

#

AHAHAHAH

lone mango
#

yeah but i ran a debloat script

hoary zodiac
#

so basically the n95 is basically a haswell

#

I wonder if a skylake can beat it

#

AHAHHA SKYLAKE BEATS IT

lone mango
#

I should have gotten the n100 but I didnt think basic use would be so much for that chip

hoary zodiac
#

in multi core at least

lone mango
#

I think the n100 would be good for basic use

#

n95 is literally waste

hoary zodiac
#

because you wasted money

#

used mini pcs would've been dirt cheap

#

you could've gotten a skylake, kaby lake, haswell or even coffee lake for dirt cheap

#

nah they got haswells

#

n95 is literally a pentium moment

plucky stratus
#

Target and Best Buy is broken lmao

hoary zodiac
#

e-waste tier cpu

lone mango
#

I wasnt big into mini pcs like a year ago, but again I genuinely thought that display output and youtube would be ok for it at that time

hoary zodiac
#

I mean it's a ok cpu

#

...if you couldn't get older mini pcs

#

it's good in vacuum

plucky stratus
#

should I buy switch 2 lmao

lone mango
#

Video playback is ok but other stuff is not so good

hoary zodiac
#

but anything used just instantly destroys the value

#

wait

lone mango
#

I installed linux on it but it doesnt use the gpu properly

hoary zodiac
#

n100 is kinda mid now that I'm looking at cinebench

lone mango
#

Doomed to use windows

hoary zodiac
#

I guess the QSV is good

lone mango
#

yeah its main thing is more gpu cores

hoary zodiac
#

I'd buy one if it's dirt cheap

twin laurel
#

should i go into bios before i install windoes?

hoary zodiac
#

just for the lower power consumption

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

although I suspect you'd get a better bargain with a coffee lake if you're cpu heavy

#

oh shoot

#

coffee lake actaully destroys it

#

oh wait I'm using a 8600T that's why

#

not fair

twin laurel
lone mango
lone mango
twin laurel
#

Plug usb in and turn it on

#

alr

hoary zodiac
#

you could get haswell for less

#

wait

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

you mean n100?

lone mango
#

Nah 95

hoary zodiac
#

rip

lone mango
#

🥀

hoary zodiac
#

honestly the i3-8300t might be the closest thing

#

to the n100

#

I wonder how much is a cofee lake mini pc

#

I'm really really tempted to pick one up for my homelab

lone mango
#

I was looking at ryzen mini pcs and they were not expensive

hoary zodiac
#

oh ffs

lone mango
#

Well older chips at least

hoary zodiac
#

they're not

#

the core count is really nice too

lone mango
#

They have more threads

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say

lone mango
#

And also play nicer with linux

hoary zodiac
#

Used (Haswell+) -> N100 -> Ryzen

#

arguably skylake

#

haswell is getting a tad bit old

#

but ddr3 makes it cheaper

#

so it's still valid

lone mango
#

I want to figure out a use for it because my brother turned the sofa into a clothing pile

#

But I have to get more ram if I want to put a server on it

hoary zodiac
#

yeah that's why I picked haswell

#

cheap

lone mango
#

Idk maybe I force him to clean up after himself and we can watch things on it again

hoary zodiac
#

btw

#

aren't the Xeon e5-16xx the higher performance cpus

#

at least in terms of single thead

lone mango
#

No clue I am out of the loop on older xeons

#

Like clueless tbh

hoary zodiac
#

I'm tempted to make an itx xeon build with a low power xeon

#

oh nvm

#

1680 v4 is 140w

#

pffff

#

I really want a xeon E3 L

#

but with how rare they are

#

N95 is literally a better buy

#

I want one of thesea

#

and then make a nas off it

lone mango
#

Thats interesting

hoary zodiac
#

I do want a tiny case tho

#

something like a Jonsbo C6

#

but with one more drive bay

#

Jonsbo's nas cases are nice but pricey

proud jackal

When I first played halo odst I thought "theres the guy from firefly"

hoary zodiac

chrome mirage

He plays buck and they use his face for the model

hoary zodiac

@fresh timber how much should I spend on a 300hz 1080p monitor

#

Well

#

280/300/360

#

Oh I want that

fair onyx
#

Wild ass display setup right now lmao

misty sparrow
#

1-3 are extroverts while 4 is an introvert

fair onyx
#

lol

#

1 is my ultrawide main monitor
2 is my new super AMOLED portable 3k 120hz monitor
3 is my samsung tablet
And 4 is my old phone running at low res as a dedicated spotify display

#

I have a 4x OLED setup as of right now, and its just chef

#

I might be able to use my laptop as another display for this desktop setup. Then I will have 5 OLED displays, which would be chef

lone mango
#

27 1080p 🥀

#

Oh thats qhd

fair onyx
#

I just stopped using my 27 inch IPS

#

Oh yeah, all of my monitors are QHD+

chrome mirage
#

I have one 4k monitor that has a weird screen door effect on it.

fair onyx
#

32 inch ultrawide, 3880x1440
16 inch Samsung AMOLED 2880x1800
10 inch Samsung tablet 2560x1600
Note 9 (don't know the actual res)

#

I have the phone running at a low res though cause it was spanning so far across my monitors that I had issues with it

#

Is it display fusion that lets you like, re-scale how monitors connect?

acoustic palm
#

And I can’t find any high hz mini led

#

So

deep parcel
fair onyx
# acoustic palm And I can’t find any high hz mini led

Mini LED's succkkkkk. They look so bad 😭

I got my 16 inch 2880x1800 120hz 500nit HDR AMOLED with 100% DCIP3 portable samsung monitor, with a solid metal construction and metal kickstand for $240. Absolute steal for what it is

#

Its such a pretty monitor

acoustic palm
#

Damn

#

I’m looking at a 300hz ips rn

fair onyx
#

There are 13 inch 1080p OLED monitors for like $100, which is great for just a dedicated monitor

acoustic palm
#

This one

fair onyx
#

Now that I have majority OLED, I just can't do IPS anymore. One IPS and it ruins all the OLEDs with the absurd amount of light glow

acoustic palm
#

Meh

#

Idc

#

I’m too broke for that

fair onyx
#

"I'm too broke for that"

wants a 300hz IPS

acoustic palm
#

And the cheapest OLED while on a good sale is 400+

fair onyx
#

True I guess

acoustic palm
#

But idk if I have enough money rn to afford it

fair onyx
#

I am in a pitch black room all the time, so the horrible inconsistent/ugly glow of IPS just drives me insane

I was fine with it for years, until I got a QD OLED main monitor, and then also added my AMOLED tablet. Then I got an AMOLED Laptop, and an AMOLED second display for said laptop

acoustic palm
#

I’ll wait till my first few paychecks from my new job at least

fair onyx
#

So as of now I have an AMOLED main monitor, tablet, 2 phones, laptop, and secondary laptop display. And I didn't even break the bank or anything (outside of my main monitor, that thing was stupid expensive lol)

acoustic palm
#

Damn

#

My pc will drain my bank account once I pay for it

#

I’ll probably only have like 300$ max left

#

Maybe less

fair onyx
#

Now I am messing with display fusion with automatic focus fading, and this is great. Now I can set it to where when I am in an app, all my other OLED displays dim (except my video play back one), so I can still just barely see whats on them, but not worry about burn in at all

#

Plus I take great care of all my displays. Low brightness, nothing static, rotation and refreshing

acoustic palm
#

Ima be fr

#

That sounds like way too much effort

#

And didn’t burn in get fixed a long time ago

fair onyx
#

Its really not. The only thing I have to ever deal with is a panel refresh on my main monitor if I use it for 16 hours with no down time

#

I flip my tablet upside down every few months. Thats about it

#

and its wireless, so its no big deal

#

like my QD OLED is at 35% brightness, tablet at 40% brightness, phone at 28% brightness, and portable monitor at 30% brightness

OLED's at low brightness look so much clearer and brighter than my IPS monitors that were technically brighter

#

Like my main QD OLED is technically 280 nits, but at even just 60% brightness, it looked way brighter than my 400 nits IPS

worthy meteor
#

burn in being unavoidable has been fixed a long time ago with the introduction of refresh cycles

#

now we have a lot of good mitigation options

fair onyx
#

Yeah, they work great

#

I just try to take additional good care of what I have haha

worthy meteor
#

In reality as long as you're not in a bright room, how you use an oled panel may be practically the same as you do any other panel

fair onyx
#

For me, I use them much dimmer than I did my IPS, and they still feel so much brighter

worthy meteor
#

4hr suggested refresh cycle, but you can set it to only the 16hr refresh cycle, as long as you're not in a very bright room, you wouldn't be using it at full brightness anyways

fair onyx
#

Plus, I use ultra dark mode in everything, so lots of power savings and burn in mitigation

#

my friend has had the Alienware 32 inch ultrawide since it came out, and he abuses the HELL out of that panel. It does have 16:9 burn in, but its like 2.5 years old now, and it was also the first gen panel, with the absolute worst algos for protection

#

I had the same one and then returned it to get the one I have. It was cheaper and it has much better features, with the same panel

#

But yeah, he abuses the HELL out of his QD OLED

#

he has 1 monitor, and he watches 16:9 HDR 1000 content on it nonstop. No burn in protection, never refreshes it, plays games in 16:9. Its always at 100% brightness and overdriven with HDR hacks

worthy meteor
#

the only thing I wouldn't recommend oled for is if you grind mmo games all day and the menu elements don't move

#

other than that nothing should really be static for more than minutes at a time

fair onyx
#

Yeah, for sure. For me, I take extreme care of my panels. For me its a sense of pride

#

I love OLED/AMOLED/QD OLED, and I will do what it takes to protect them and live this dream lmao

#

if I close all of my programs, with my solid black background, all of my displays are 100% dim. Its great haha

worthy meteor
#

I like OLED, but I'm just going to follow the basic guidelines, I don't care to refresh that often, I don't care to enable anything other than auto dimming on inactivity, and I'm just going to set my brightness to what looks good to me.

fair onyx
#

Yeah, totally valid. I mean, ALL monitors are consumable in their own way

#

I am in a pitch black environment, so having panels that can go pure black is like... So liberating

#

no bright and blinding distractions from glow

fair onyx
#

lmao

elfin mural
#

that display setup

#

cursed

fair onyx
#

@elfin mural @gentle canyon

There you go lmao

elfin mural
#

okay it looks less cursed in reality

#

but still very peculiar

fair onyx
#

HDR processing makes it look a bit weird lol

fair onyx
#

I have a 27 inch IPS to the left of my main monitor that I am no longer using cause it ruins the black levels on every other monitor

#

plus its a 27 inch 1080p monitor, so it has rough res 😅

elfin mural
#

oof

fair onyx
#

I wanna try and get the right monitor hung up next to my ultrawide. Probably on the left for video, and then I wanna get one of the 13 inch 1080p OLED's and hang it sideways off of my main monitor for a dedicated discord monitor

gentle canyon
#

here i was thinking getting a secondary would be too much

fair onyx
#

I have 4 as of now (technically 5 if I turned the IPS on, but its more harm than good)

#

but I mean, 2 of them are repurposed old devices that would be sitting in a drawer otherwise, so I like it :D

#

I used this note 9 for like 4.5 years, and now its a dedicated spotify display. I don't need it, but it would be e-waste otherwise lmao

#

I could also use it as a little dedicated system info monitor. IDK, I just set it up like an hour ago

Hi

fair onyx

No problem haha

#

Is that a typo

fair onyx
#

That is a disgustingly overkill budget. I assume thats a typo lmao

molten sluice
#

Yea, and I need a monitor too. It for gaming

fair onyx
#

wait... so it is $9,500 USD?

molten sluice
#

Yea

#

No

fair onyx
#

What the hell. For that kind f money you could get the best of literally everything and still have a ton of money left over. I HAVE to assume there is some issue in translation here

molten sluice
#

950USD

#

Sorry

#

I missed up

fair onyx
#

thats the same number 😅

molten sluice
#

It's another currency

#

It's almost 1000 USD

lone mango
#

Ah ok

fair onyx
#

bruhhh

#

the link had a curse word in it 😭

If only it wasnt unreal engine slop that was outsourced to other devs so bethesda could make a quick buck 🥀

molten sluice
#

@lone mango why not RTX 4060 or INTEL ARC B580?

lone mango
#

Arc has a strange driver thing going on where it demands a lot of compute from your cpu

#

Basically your cpu works way harder for no good reason and it costs you performance

#

They are looking into it, but you may be hampered in some titles

#

Reason I went amd is because cod runs way better on amd

#

Also cheaper than the 4060

#

Guys a bit of a weird question

#

What was the monitor meta during 2005-2010 for gaming?

#

Rn the meta is oled or qd oled, another premium but reasonable is mini led and a greatly reasonable good option ips

bitter ridge
#

I would be below 10 years old during that time

bitter ridge

Is that supposed to be a big deal

Whoever's in charge of the UI/UX can't keep their hands off for even a month

hoary zodiac
#

That controller button was not there before

craggy shoal
#

It's for commands. Not even for games

hoary zodiac
#

They really need to stop chopping and changing UI for no reason whatsoever

craggy shoal
#

Nvm I’m blind it's for games too

hoary zodiac
#

The "features" they're adding don't improve the app either

craggy shoal
#

Just get rid of the gift Nitro button tbh

#

The textbook takes less than half of the div its inside (or whatever "div" equivalent there is in whatever language they use lol)

hoary zodiac
#

When they run out of stuff to add

craggy shoal
#

div: HTML element for separating whatever parts of a webpage (some people here lack that knowledge and that’s okay lol)

hoary zodiac
#

They just mess with the UI

#

Are they letting monkeys run the UI/UX team

craggy shoal
#

Bruh atp the text box might as well be an icon 💀

hoary zodiac

500MB uploads
lol I have self hosted ways around this limit

#

Unlimited Super Reactions
Why is that even a paid feature?

fresh timber
#

Motor

devout forum
#

though I guess nitro classic has a limited number of super reactions

pliant berry
#

Here is an idea, how about instead of nitro and server boosts you could pay for per server benefits. Say its like 5usd/month for high quality streaming, emotes, upload limit for servers with less than 20. Why have it as a boosting system that requires multiple paying users. Would be nice for friend groups

#

Oooorr hear me out, you let people setup their own servers on their own hardware with discord as just the client to connect to it

sinful blade
#

I need this emote here

bitter ridge
#

The animation feels smooth so there is that

craggy shoal
#

ehhh

#

Not worth it

#

Plus I have services that let me embed images and videos at a higher quality than what 8MB allows for anyways

pliant berry
#

but the custom emotes

#

and the streaming quality

craggy shoal
#

I have ways around the streaming quality lol

#

And yes it's against Discord ToS so I'm not mentioning it here

And best buy Canada delayed their preorders but didn't give anyone a time

hopefully you get one so you can sleep

I did get a few hours of sleep while waiting for best buy to send me a notification and luckily my dog woke me up right when their preorders went live

rigid sinew

so did you get a preorder in ?

Still trying. The site keeps going down

aww man, hopefully you get it !

Pretty sure there will be more chances if I don't. If it comes to it I have some friends planning to camp out at Walmart on the release day.

I just bought a ABS prebuild, does any1 know how to turn off the rgb? ive downloaded all the rgb programs known to man and still none of them detect the case fans or aio, only the ram. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I also didn’t know if it’d be better to type here or the other channel so sorry.

dense locust
#

Unless you have tried already

desert bramble
# dense locust Try open rgb

there’s no programs installed on my pc named “rgb”. I have Mystic Light though, through Msi Center and that still dosent work.

dense locust

#

Make sure you run as admin at the first launch otherwise it can’t detect everything

desert bramble

#

The RGB may not be addressable

#

In which case you would need to just unplug the RGB to turn it off

desert bramble
dense locust
#

So it’s dumb rgb

worn wave
#

Find the cables attaching the fans to the motherboard

#

One will be connected to a fan header, the other an RGB header. Unplug the RGB header

#

I suppose they could be connected to a hub too

desert bramble
worn wave
#

If the PC is off you won't hurt anything unplugging the fan headers

#

They're pretty easy to unplug

#

Alternatively you could leave the RGB on

#

If openrgb isn't seeing it I doubt it's software addressable

Odd

desert bramble
#

it’s gotta be something in the back of the case I think but i checked yesterday and i saw no controller or anything

fresh timber
#

It shouldn’t

dense locust
#

I hope the rgb doesn’t get power from the fan header, if that’s true you’re sol

#

Do you know what pc you got

craggy shoal
#

Have y'all thought yet that it could just be plugged in via a SATA connection that's powering the RGB and some physical controller that doesn't run a firmware other than for whatever buttons it has on it to control the lights?

#

Long question. Read it. Suffer

fresh timber
#

Chat gpt translate this

desert bramble
dense locust
#

I forgot SATA exists

dense locust
#

It’s a prebuilt so I assume it’s a proprietary case

desert bramble
dense locust
#

Depends on manufacturer

desert bramble
#

case is H570 TG ARGB

#

absolutely zero information on this case

#

and the manual i received has a RGB page but it’s horrible and dosent explain anything, and then when you go online their online version of the manual for the case dosent have the RGB page my physical one has lmao

#

I also read that some companies make the Reset Button a RGB switcher, and that is not the case in my scenario

dense locust
#

What does the led button do

craggy shoal
#

It's probably a button right next to the power button or something, like on my O11DE

opaque sedge
#

I got these instead of oblivion

desert bramble
# dense locust

That “LED BUTTON” has to be referring to the reset button

opaque sedge
#

Got mhrise and p3

desert bramble

because I have no “LED BUTTON” only power and reset and the reset does indeed just reset my pc

the ps5 is still new

maybe it was because covid jacked up the prices of ps5 so nobody could afford it so time just flew by

i just don't like the fact that sony is excusing us tariffs for global price increase on the ps5

is it even increasing in price in the US

let's pray that whatever that is happening

isn't in effect

tech companies are in turmoil rn

policies that change almost daily

hyte is probably a goner in the us if the tariffs are in effect

#

they lose money on each case sold that way

devout forum
#

Unironically this just further proves that the US is an EXTREMELY protected market for tech stuff

elfin mural
#

it's sad

devout forum
#

Cuz Americans CANNOT under any circumstances pay any less than 20% cheaper prices than anyone else

elfin mural
#

also i hate the fact that

#

instead of building an industry within the us

devout forum
#

So if that 20% difference shrinks cuz of stuff like tariffs

They'll restore that by raising prices for everyone else

elfin mural
#

it's resorting to tariffs to try and destroy chinese supply chain

#

a supply chain developed for decades

devout forum
#

I mean

elfin mural
#

you can't suddenly swap everything over overnight

It's also kind of enriching a hostile government

so sudden too

devout forum
#

Trump just brought a sledgehammer to a scalpel fight

elfin mural
#

it should've been taken in a way of incentives

devout forum
#

It's debatable whether it'll work out

But there was an intent behind it

elfin mural
#

certain benefits for producing stuff in the us

devout forum
elfin mural
#

not just "u don't get tariffs if u produce here"

devout forum
#

Like the US was subsidizing several tech firms

#

Massively

#

Intel got like billions of funding to build the Arizona fab

elfin mural
#

what's difficult is the difference in where to gather resources

#

it's not as simple as just building factories

#

and with salaries being much higher

#

i doubt products can remain the same pricing

#

anyhow i'll not veer too close to politics

#

i'll just say that history is repeating itself

anyone know why facebook marketplace tabs take up 14 gb of ram each if you leave them open for a day or two

lone mango

What browser you use

#

Some let you unload tabs

junior willow
#

chrome (i just answered my own question)

lone mango
#

Im not sure about other browsers but zen and floorp let you unload tabs after a specified time

nocturne flicker
#

You'd also have to have a general public willing and able to spend more for domestic products. Which'd require a serious rethinking of how the wage system in a country like ours would work to allow consumer spending like that

lone mango
#

So I have like 20 tabs but only like one or two are loaded

As a result it only takes up like 1 gig even less

I remember seeing under one gig

Yea

I dont mind closing my browser because it restores the session by default

Don't worry, eventually Windows 10 will stop getting updates, so then I'll never close my browser period kekw
