ima ask mom if i can get more ram with it
if not im buying ram with my money cause i refuse to live on 16gb if im using windows
we'll overclock you don't worry
if the laptop had more than one nvme slot id do a silly and make the slot power a gpu
unironcily the nvme that comes with the laptop is probably faster than the ones in my desktop
i only have gen 3
ima enjoy that sharp display, 1080p at tht size loks sooo good
I'm surprised that a lot of laptops come with displays that have a lower resolution than 1080p
"The average person doesn't need that" idc. It's always some garbage 768p TN display. That's almost like not including the radio in a car
Well, when guys start getting old enough...
do they? i've only seen 1080p+ laptops these days. maybe it's a chromebook thing?
Some HP laptops
Like poverty spec HP laptops
Even Windows laptops (these typically come with an N100 or N150)
This guy doesn't self host
i had to use a couple chromebooks and a windows with those and i actually almost super slided
brain meltingly slow, very frustrating
how does that work?
Well it is only a 6w chip 
r/selfhosted
you just throw server programs onto it
I have Debian on mine rn hosting Pi Hole
idk what else to host with it though. I upgraded to another Beelink mini PC with some laptop i7 (forgot which one lol)
It runs Proxmox and it's pretty much the backbone of my home lab rn
newegg used to be so active what happend š¦
it's morning on a weekday lol
Ded
3+ core members left a while ago
Also personally I find the gpu market being terrible makes it a lot less interesting to talk about and make builds
Integrated graphics better atpš
they touch grass
its been 5 years they probably have family and stuff.

or busy on their carrers
The good ol days
Ew touching grass it terrible. I've done it so little it causes rashes 
Seriously though, I used to get rashes on my feet when I'd wear crocs or sandals and I went through the grass on the yard back in NY. Something on the grasses triggered it. Doesn't happen here though
im exited for laptopppp, ima watch so much youtube sitting in bed
Grass allergies are real but if it only happened in one place it's more likely some nasty pesticide š¤¢
I mean, I did live next to a farm 
Though I didn't really touch the grass in the crocs, so it might've been something in the dew
Because you walk in grass with dew and the dew gets in the crocs
GOOD MORNING FRENS ā¤ļø
goog morning
im getting new laptop for college soon ā¤ļø
from NEWEGG
HOPEFULLY
this will be the 3rd thing i bought from wegg, no 4th
ayeeeee!!! thats good youre going to college
i remmeber years ago i bought a 2600 from newegg and had to contact support for tracking
i wonder if my email is sitll in system
i can check
oo
@rigid sinew im dm two emails, im not sure which, im curuous
okie
i think i used guest checkout
Most people have lives
We also have many less bots now
ok i mist list my 7700xt
@sinful blade my moms giving me $300 for laptop
i prob have $300 in gifts at home
do i list 7700xt now so i can get laptop faster or no
Listening
i can go to college, learn, get good job with the skills i got, and buy you even better gpu with the money i earned, or i can use laptop fund on your b580 and struggle to learn with a trash $300 chromebook that cant load chrome and not graduate and now u cant get better gpu
This is tough
Gimme a moment to think
I was gonna wait 3 hours to respond but no yeah, go get college
i feel like that b580 would be a good investment on your part..
mhh
cause mr roomba can finish college and when he finds amazing job he can send ME money š¤
Perhaps
one site i bought game stuff from has a list of places with its tax listed and in bold leters they put no sales tax
im sure u can tell which one i picked

i only need $300
i haev enough lel
i have money at home and i have my empty account with me rn
once i sell this pc ill order laptop. or if i have enough ill just order it before it sells
Don't do college, go to trades school. Become a plumber or welder or something 
Welding pays good mones
Tru
actually this is factual
or electrician
but also if you get a degree in something that doesnt ever really have layoffs.. or even if laid off you can find another job quick.. like medical field
Computer Science is a dumpster fire rn
ima learn all this over 1.5 semesters
Don't do Computer Science
im not
im doing all that i sent
thats 1.5 semesters worth of classes, ima prob take it sloewr and extend it to maybe 2.5 semsters
IT then? I dunno how the IT field is right now
idk either
i just wanna do something i love
idc if the pay is good
@craggy shoal do u know any other laptops with a $600 budget i can get
nah
I don't do budget laptops. Those $600 laptops last for like maybe three years if you're lucky
yeah im not spenidng more
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CtjXqH locked in with some new perphs
Part List
i spent most my money on my 9070xt 
My next invest is rtx 5070ti 850W psu and a 32ā 4k QD-oled monitor
Why
holy airball
Who airballed
Arenāt people saying not to do it cause āai will take those jobsā
Part one: Nvidia
Part two: Nvidia (but AI)
Part three: AI AI AI AI (basically, it's everywhere)
Part four: "Wait AI can code for us"
Part five: programmers: "GUYS WE'RE LOSING OUR JOBS"
Part six: programmers: "It's okay. The manager has to know exactly how to explain what he wants. He can't even tell us what he wants"
Part seven: the manager figures out how to explane to AI exactly what he wants
Part eight: welcome to the 2022-2025 job market, where even IT is losing job security
There's your five-year catchup summary
Oh Iāve seen what ai can do for coding, itās a spaghetti code
It caused more hassle than it fixes
"Write some code for me" (write spaghetti code) "This doesn't run. Fix it" (fixes it)
Fix one then causes 5 more bugs 
i google best $600 laptop and its all gaming laptop videos
;/
i just want more options youtube not gaming slop
I'm sure IT will be saved eventually. Computer Science is screwed though
People still need laptops to be setup. AI can't help with most of that
Definitely try to get your foot in the door as soon as possible. Work for your school's IT department (if possible) and get into some internships (all before graduation). You should be granted a tier 1 support technician role (or similar) soon after graduating if you can get your foot in the door while in school
i will get paid to setup the AI
then i get to sit in my office as the ai does support for me, my job is to install it
That job market is on a downsizing spree, AI is filling some roles and the labor market is oversaturated due to people being pushed into Computer Science for 20+ years
mr roomba
should i sacrafise my entire life goal in this and buy mac im indesivice asf

Life goals only set you up for disappointment
I just set up my table and chair
Now I gotta build the PC
Thats laying in parts on the ground
No
oaky i thiink my plan is ima just buy a used lappy for 300-400
so i can not. spend $600
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/232160/intel-core-i71355u-processor-12m-cache-up-to-5-00-ghz/specifications.html this is an abomination of a cpu
seems very low power but 2p cores?
Yeah its rough here
And with the 30+ demo phones and pos systems and security cameras and direct tv stream all running on it
wtf
Why was that even made
worse than having no internet moment
FR
dell i thik ima get a used XPS
its slower than the others but its a price i cant resist
Latitudes aren't bad either (should be more budget-friendly?)
Dell Latitude 7420. Each part is tested individually for full functionality before being installed or used in a computer or laptop. Your first impression is our highest standard, and that's why we designed refurbishing process that produces computers that look great and just work right out of the box.
i found this too
nvm cpu sucks
"gaming" is a crazy overstatement
do you know more
look for used Thinkpads too
i really want this 11850h with rtx a2000
only reason i want to get this is cause a2000, decent DGPU even tho i dont want one, its a nic et ohave
but i can gte a fastre CPU
just no a20000
@craggy shoal 13% faster cpu with a better igpu, or 13% slower worst igpu but decent DGPU
I'd generally just go with whichever one has better eGPU support
but tbh I'd just use my financial aid on a laptop and not even sell my desktop
my moms giving me $300 twords it
idk how my aid works, im not getting funds the normal way
im getting roasted at work for liking codm
they just jealous your that your good at it
i'm broke so i get heaps of money to pocket each semester. feelsgoodman
lord goog im going down the laptop rabbithole
for me i owe $0 a semester
no debt
i thought i sold you on the Asus vivobook or whatever it was called lol
yeah same, but i also get like $1k/class to pocket hehe
yeah i was sold until i found out how cheap used laptops get
HOW
i need to figure out how my stuff works even more
got a bunch of scholarships and applied for every grant under the sun
i just need ONE scholarship pays for technology
i have two rn
well three
the 3rd one pays $10k a semester
a lot of the grant money is just bc nobody in my family goes to college and we're all brokies, but some of it is also academic. then i have scholarships that cover my classes, textbooks, and optional student housing
i could prob get them to pay for a laptop then ill regret getting a cheap one 
i dont quallify for fasfa stuff so that says enough about my income
homie is a one percenter 
i really just like this chassie
did you at least submit fafsa so you qualify for any aid through ur school?
whats the diffrence between the t1200 and rta a2000
t120 = 1650, a2000 = 3050
i can pull my fasfa up right now
isnt a 3050 just a 1650
1650 with raytracing
3050 is low end ampere
bigger on desktop (sub 1060 vs 2060). on laptop it's similar difference in raw perf, but both are 4GB cards so the 3050m gets kneecapped to a much lower gap than would be expected
you also don't get DLSS on tu1200, which is suboptimal for a card of this perf tier
i found it
when i got my federal pell grant thing the indicator number they gave me was literally the highest possible lmfao
"yeah bro's poor"
it's chill tho, i've got big plans, and i set myself up for success. going to be the one to break out of poverty šŖ
lmao
i didnt have $400 in cash lmfao
i had like $800 liquid when i submitted mine. $800 and a dream 
Ai is ātakingā email jobs or ābusy workā jobs, itās nowhere near advanced enough to take actual software or Developersā jobs
tf
this last round i had actual savings, but i only work part time and my parents are poor so i still got my full grant + all the other stuff from last year
where the hell do i have 18k at
wrong reply
I WANT TO KNOW WHERE MY 18k IS
NO WONDER I DIDNT GET IT SHES HIDING MONEY FROM ME
probably estimated based on family assets etc.?
Did you actually read the rest of what I typed or did you focus on the bit where I said AI is filling some roles and nothing else 
I know I have a savings account.. but i didnt know it had THAT MUCH
i have 30k now... wth
funny thing
there's even a 2050 laptop
"2050"
which is actually the bottom barrel of ampere
put a downpayment on a house and rent it out for > your mortgage
Nah dw I read the part about it being saturated, that is probably true, but isnāt a really broad area, thereās tons of stuff within cs
that thing's slow as molasses
its going to my car and future ;/
this is a way to secure easy living. it's pretty much what i'm saving up for rn lol. going to be crashing with relatives while i get my feet wet in my career, while renting out real estate
There is a lot of stuff under CS yes. But the CS field as a whole is downsizing and reducing the amount people they are hiring. And Computer Science became synonymous with the role of a business degree. Don't know what to do? Just do business or CS and you'll surely get something
if i drop 30k on a hour
Cs is a lot more technical tbh
Itās probably more popular than business in the past like 15 years
i've been building credit since 15
So? That doesn't change the fact that it was the degree they told people to take if they didn't have a plan
start on it yourself if you haven't yet
my mom doesnt want me building my credit until i have a real job ;/
get a credit card and pay your stuff monthly
if shes willing to build it for me bet
jokes on you i dont got anything monthly rn
That or business. Those have become the last resort for college advisors
Itās pretty bad advice to do it if you donāt like it cause itās pretty difficult
spend like $20/m and then pay it off afterwards is all i'm saying
you don't have to play with a lot of money, just be consistent with it
mom doesnt want me to build credit right now
strange
she wants me to worry about that when i get a real job
It is bad advice. It is just that people giving college advice are stuck in the dot com era where just having a degree like that will get you into a lucrative job
i mean if you're already fairly upper class then it's not a huge deal ig
im not upperclass
oh i thought you just said your family came from money lol
my dad lives in poverty with nice cars, mom works a 9-5
oh no
we came from nothing to something
and by we i mean my mom
and we still live in a appartment
Tbf it does pay a lot if you secure a decent job in it, but getting one is the difficult part
if i secure a real job i can prob just only use the creditcard and pay it off every month
and get my mom as a co signer or someting
easy
Dell Precision 5560
ooi
they have these with 2060s
im ngl im a fan of these laptops with a small DGPU in them, low powoer but good enough for light DGPU things
MSI Creator 15 A10SET. SSD: Reset 512GB reset updated and ready to use. 15.6" FHD Touch Screen, shows faint marks [ not visible when working ]. Creator 15 A10SET-088US-GG71087H16GXXDX10MA. Bottom Base have rubber paddings, slightly chipped in one place (does not affect stability and/or functionality).
It is chonky
They also said some faint marks on the screen
Also the battery caps at 60%, so maybe a replace needed
Maybe it's a setting you can change? My laptop has an option to cap the battery at 60% to prolong battery life
The battery has a design capacity of 95mwh and can only hold 57.3mwh at max capacity
My phone battery caps at 68%

Also remember that anything 10th gen and older can not be undervolted
im tired of looking at laptops
so i should go 11th gen plus
cause im looking at the performance ngl it looks very acceptable
one of the 11th gen chips are as fast as the cpu im using in one of my pcs, and it feels like a ncie cpu to me
If you plan on undervolting to make the chip cooler, yes
of course ima UV too lol
i dont care about battery life so much i dont want my lap burning
Werenāt you buying a ryzen laptop
i dont want a mac
Oh ye no gaming
a m1 mbp is in m budget but i have no need for it
yeah hole point of me gettin tb4 is future egpu
ima droll looking at this
too much dont wana pay that, so sad
ill be adding it to the maybe pile
when its time teo buy, if i can find it at around this price its a peak buy
New Nvidia drivers out
Do they work?
Ofc not
Still on 566.36 here lol
Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 'Nova Lake-S' desktop CPUs will reportedly feature up to 52 cores, DDR5-8000 memory support, and 32 PCIe 5.0 lanes. What a beast! https://t.co/DWvhKeEvvS

Thats going to be a very long cpu
Unless its on a completely different platform
Ok it seems that it still gonna be 1954
I assume probably 2/3 of those are e cores because 52 real cores on there would take up the entire package

Well at least it has ethernet
I mean it could be even less
Maybe you can put your spotify memberhsip on there
Boom
easy
16 real cores
LMAO
16P, 32E and 4LP-E cores
Who is this for
What do you use 32 E cores for
This is not being hur dur intel dumb, what is this actually useful for
Is there some work loads that really like E cores?
Probably new platform
Very true
Apparently it looks like its somehow gonna be on 1954
any news on wegg server tag
If true then I see why they are making a new socket
Inflating core count
I guess things like games will use the p cores and renders will use all of the cores
cinebench cores

And the LP-E will be used for background stuff?
Yeah I have 32 cinebench cores
Weren't E cores supposed to be low power?
Yeah but they ironically used a lot with earlier iterations
I think now they are actually low power relative to p cores
But cramming a bunch of e cores is cheap performance
Need low power low power cores now, going to have low power low power low power cores in a couple gens
Probably why they are doing that
fr
The 192 core epyc
Our LPLPE cores use 6w per 4 cores to make up for the power creep of the LPE cores
zen 5c

(They are actually just really efficient Pentium 4 cores)
I would imagine a windows update completely utilizing all four of them
Especially when the next windows comes out
only god knows how much bloat they will squeeze into it
People hate windows now, just wait for the next one

Windows Recall edition
It is just recall
You could say it is Total Recall even

And corpos will get the good version of windows

Well
I'll be waiting for talon 2
This will solve everything

Not yet
Theo_server
Alright
Server bout to look a little different soon

Now is the time to suggest changes that you want mods+naht to consider
Send me a dm or tag me
Could we have a pool
No, cuz @lone mango ruined that for you all
He splashed me, Theo, and Wolfgang with water when we were trying to sunbathe


My server boosts expire in 2 days so you need 3 
Itās wild that you NEED 17 boosts
Boosting
I mean, it is entirely to get you to feel like you need to contribute
I only boosted because I realized a few days ago that I had two boosts sitting around
They were free
I even got em
Epic gave away a month of nitro
That too
are you sure i only need to boost one more
The server I'm in for my current tag has 17

hey guys! we have a new channel #pokemon-tcg-collectibles some of our mkpl team will be posting some deals that we have for pokemon, collectibles, etc. lmk if you have any questions!
O
I BOOSTED WHAT NOW
pc question time! but can this
https://c1.neweggimages.com/productimage/nb1280/17-153-232-01.jpg
fit into this?
https://c1.neweggimages.com/productimage/nb1280/11-353-259-01.jpg
Yes but I do not recommend that power supply
can't tell what exact case it is, and I would not recommend getting a smart 80+, but it should fit
Do not get a smart 80+
show me the best one atleast so i can swap it (and with lower price too)
Didnt I give you a list
oh crap i gotta find that asap
Yeah it was cheaper and better than the newgg list ima find it rq for ya
can you send the link again or dm doesn't matter so i can come back
how did you do it and why cant i do it since i boosted the server like 902734907304 times
Ill show
Wegg wegg wegg wegg
wegg
pls
Is it not showing up in the edit profile menu to select a tag and the one from here?
take your time if you need to cause i'm having trouble trying to find that link
WE ARE WEGGGGGGGGGGGG
we are wegg, we are life
I think you wanted everything on one site but the truth is you gotta go to many places to find the best deals
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6vwBHW
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5070, Montech AIR 100 ARGB MicroATX Mid Tower
So there is amazon, newegg, bestbuy and b&h on here
Bro what 9600x for 180 is cheap thats crazy
alright thanks and just need to see the power supply
They are the same size
WÄëêeĆØĆ©ggg
i know
What did you do?
Look at sidebar
I see this āweggā badge
Look at general tab
Iām on mobile, but ok
I donāt see what you did
The layout is more efficient/makes sense
Now the more utilized channels are next to each other, the deals are easier to find and discuss, and gamecrate no longer exists 
Wegg
@lone mango can you type in #old-monitors-and-tv
alright just gotta make sure but this is a good one and fit to this?
https://c1.neweggimages.com/productimage/nb1280/11-353-259-01.jpg
and plus where can be connect it?
It'll connect in the back. Should be fine.
Nice nice nice.
Yea
it's purpose is fulfilled
Goodbye monitors and tv
It shall forever be archived
Iām having the worst day of my life rn. TIL that orange chicken was invented by Panda Express
AND Y'ALL CHANGE THE CHANNELS AROUND WHAT
It is a fried chicken with a sauce made of orange juice š

This is so american
I love orange chicken when it's not a massive gelatin blob
Hm..yes yes
It is orange juice, sweet chili, soy sauce, sugar, white vinegar and garlic 
Making it easier to access/learn
Of all things, discord doesnāt let people change it for themselves
I am no longer able to function and my life is ruined
But no you NEED rounded icons and other ui bs no one wants 
I just donāt like useless changes
Or change for the sake of change for someone keeping their job
Just so they can say they ādidā something
Uh
I don't even interact with the channels on location based memory, I just look inside the ones that have new messages in them 
The channel thing is fine, I donāt really mind, I forget the other channels exist sometimes 
Guh
@fair onyx naht should be sending you a message soon
Uh oh
Okay no, nvm. Discord mobile was being weird for a sec
I was switching channels and randomly had some of the text from the previous one stay in this one 
High quality mobile app
I love discord!
Yes very high quality
Is why I stopped updating it 
I turned auto updates off in the App Store settings

@fresh timber bruh what
I sold all my random EXs and my most valuable are like 200$ each š
Will Newegg officially sell Pokemon or is this just general deals on it?
This is unknown to me at this moment, Naht will have more info soon
I collect sealed stuff
i have singles and graded but for some reason my sealed is worth more
CHANNELS ARE BEING MOVED
WE GOT A NEW CATEGORY FOR RESTOCKS
shhhhhhjh
BUYING 10,000 SHARES OF NEWEGG STOCKS
this is gonna break the market
im gonna be a millionaire
insider info on newegg
10000 shares ain't cheap anymore, they artificially boosted stock price by doing a 20 to 1 reverse split 
Also apparently Negg became a meme stock
ALRIGHT
there's about 8 new channels, more organization, and more options to dive into.
Delete anime channel plz
there theo @proud jackal
Dead server, delete wegg

foooorrrrr why? š
I think
it was
Idk what you talking about. Channels have always been this way
how about a game-deals specific channel?
cause we have #tech-deals
but not #game-deals
dont ask
Anime 1 was so good they released anime 2
Might do a little more cleaning up if naht+other mods want to eventually
but for now, enjoy the new look and the bunch of new channels:D
I know the truth... its out there

@upper rain
Not a wegg? Shame
siege x somehow got worse from rainabow six siege
idk if its the settings or what, but the audio is actually crap
hitboxes are jank
Yeah nvidia and intel users lose about 40% of their frame rate and amd loses like 34%
Pretty crazy
Thatās probably the new mode only
I wonder about the ps4 and xb1
This might be what it is
No shot my deez nuts joke killed the #software-development chat so badly it had to be deleted š
evening everyone

welcome back kalia
Moment of silence for our dead channels
how do you like the new look
who said you can make that joke
Good I changed it from that other avatar as I was bored with the look.
this one is closer to my original look anyways
it looks good
ty
LMAO
07
Got next 2 days off from work which is cool.
lucky
Still with USPS?
Timeout for a deez n*ts joke is crazy

I got three days off starting on my birthday because I am smort and totally remembered to give myself more time off for my birthday (I was just following the normal schedule patterns and completely didn't recognize I'd have my birthday off) 
when is day of birth
I wanna drive one of them new goofy looking trucks
22nd
Oh my gosh. That's a thing now? š
Nice
Boeing gonna get perma muted 
Petition to make "skill issue" a mutable term lol
What you doing these days Weary ? Myself still at post office.
But Weary my station is mega staffed now like all routes are filled basically and we got so many PTFS now like at least 8-10
So its no longer the understaffed hellhole it was last year
That's nice. Are your hours more reasonable now?
damn the hell is this https://i.imgur.com/nbzpz6K.png
@nocturne flicker Medical restriction and stuff 8 hours only.... been on that since I came back to Work January 28th... was gone from December 14-28th January as I got Diabetes Type 1 on Dec 14th was in hospital for week due to DKA (Diabetic Ketoacid attack) and then rest of time recovering ...
But when I came back station was fully staffed and has only gotten more staffed since I got back lol
My server Tag is Beets which means Diabetic ( a Insider Diabetic term... )
Well that isn't as nice, I'm sorry to hear you went through that

Ya its lifelong condition body does not produce Insulin at all so I need to take it or I would die within a few weeks...
in my case got it from my immune system being too triger happy..
also had some distant reliatives on my mom side who both got it
so partially genetic
not caused from eating poorly I eat pretty healthy
Oh gosh, really sorry to hear everything happened like that. I hope you do better soon! I struggle with a lot of medical issues as well, so my heart especially goes out to you
That's a good thing at least! At least that means you should have an easier time monitoring insulin, rather than if you were eating unhealthy to begin with. Silver linings š
WEll better is subjective like physically healthier now then when I got dignoised but like will never be 100 percent again.... as Diabetes is a chronic illness( rest of life unless a cure ever comes out which is unlikely)
But I do have A CGM which lets me see what my blood sugar levels are
I use a Dexcom G7
But ya i understand the struggle... Medical issues can be expensive... (Diabetes is not cheap)
Like if I did not have insurance my Insulin would cost 700-800 bucks
Oh for sure, that's an extremely expensive illness. My illnesses generally don't have much treatment
@proud jackal You Insulin Depedent ? I am only Type 1 Diabetic in my Post office the rest are T2 like you... but majority of them dont use Insulin... well only 2 of them use Insulin cuz their type 2 has gotten so bad and from having it since year 2000.
I am Insulin dependent
Yeah I'm on 80/20
And metformin
Diabetes just sucks in general... Wish I did not need to use Insulin but not really any other options for me I would just die if I decided to stop using Insulin.

Theo have you thought about joining the Diabetic Discord ? its very knowledgeable and tons of Type 1s and Type 2s on it.
Fair enough sometimes I dont visit the discord server for a while as it can be a bit off putting at times being reminded of my condition which is a second job basically lol
You forgot one
But it has given me tons of useful advice thought lolz

I was not expecting to get promoted to Techie today, and I also wasn't expecting the server to expand so much. Super glad to see it though!
MrManiac3 for techie
I am not even sure who that is lmao
some guy
valid, and also true lol
who wants to be my lab rat
depends, what for?
He wants to buy you a 5090, and he's testing how you would react to it
5090 would make me so depressed
Hello all. Where would I post to ask for some advice for a prebuilt? I'm trying to get something for my GF who plays WoW, she's rocking an old R2 Alienware from 2012...I think it's time to upgrade, a late bday present.
She's mentioned she wants a curved wide monitor too. Don't know where to start but found some prebuilds that are within my budget. Help would be great!
im in danger.
Whatās your budget and when do you plan to buy?
gulp
What did you do?
@icy ore I'm 1500 cad max. Sooner rather than later to be honest
WAIT, we just had a fire here that was 7,000 acres also called the ranch fire just a few days ago
newegg sales starting on july 7th if you can wait
I assume that budget is including peripherals?
Peripherals I'm not too worried about. I'll look into the monitor maybe later. She has a pretty nice one right now. And keyboard, mouse. I'm the audio guy so she's hooked up with studio monitors.
@proud jackal that's good to know!
need to turn off fire spread
there's one northwest of me too
Wegg
beta
a Modern Beta
Oh
Thatās no good lmao
Ohā¦thatās type of beta

Very cool
What are you testing?
your patience
@proud jackal thank you. I'll save that.
its a semi decent time to buy a prebuild if you go amd
@proud jackal any you would recommend? I've looked at a few. But I have no idea what to look for what's good or not. Computer illiterate for a lack of a term
https://www.amazon.com/ViprTech-Overlord-Liquid-Cooled-PC-Bluetooth/dp/B0C7XH9WYR/ref=mp_s_a_1_15? honestly doesnāt seem like a bad price at all 
But I donāt know anything about them
Or if they ship to CA lol
@icy ore unfortunately they aren't available in Canada š
Why is windows OS so expensive
youre making a joke right
This is the one I've been looking at.
eh?
better than whatever he sent š
why not make your own
Christ, is the 50 series that bad? š I genuinely havenāt looked into it
@acoustic palm oh I don't even know where to start. I'm sure that would be an amazing experience though.
5060ti is worse than a 4070
building it is easy lmao
making the list is actually harder than building a pc
@hexed marsh donāt go for a b580 on an expensive system. Itās a middle grade gpu. Itās just new.
ok so 5060ti 16gb is equal to a 6800 non xt š
Man prices are so whack you canāt find anything what itās supposed to be priced at
That's exactly it. What parts with what. I've played around with PC part picker but honestly it's all gibberish to me.
And yeah I know itās been like that but damn man itās everything now lol
i gotchu
whats your budget
Oh I hear you!
Budget is 1500 CAD, could push to 1700
A good thing to note:
take as much
As you can refurbished*
A reputable company with refurbished goods is a solid choice
For the gpu of your build, Iād highly suggest looking into Jawa.gg and seeing if they ship to you.
That's a solid idea okay I'll definitely look into that!
do you need a monitor?
what
Those are scalpers
Ignore those.
Use the actual āofficial Jawa storeā. Not many independent gpu sellers.
both are fine
just dont buy from sketchy ones
For the price of a 9070
https://www.jawa.gg/product/66506/msi-ventus-2x-oc-rtx-4070-super
4070 Super for less than $600
wouldnt fit his budget
Hm
@hexed marsh whats the shipping on this
if its not too bad itll fit budget
Thereās a 3080 12gb for $430
the gre should fit his budget
Was just looking Jawa doesn't currently ship to Canada
F
oh. right.
What about Mercari? @hexed marsh
What gpu do you have?
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 7600, GeForce RTX 5070, Montech X3 Mesh ATX Mid Tower
I have 1660 super
I canāt play half my games, canāt afford to upgrade

What's that?
@sinful blade the 5070 is WAYYY better value for him either way
id just get a 5070 and avoid used GPUs
Sell 1660 super for $1000 and add (pls buy) then someone will be forced to
just be like theo, win every giveaway
theo always wins
@hexed marsh basically just a reselling platform(mini eBay)
Iāve entered, to this day, 281 giveaways for pc parts
I have not won a single one
change your name to theo in the gleam name
same
Even one with only 80 people
THATS IMPERSONATION
cant impersonate someone who doesnt exist

@proud jackal can you whisper instead
Mpreg this man
I canceled lol
id choose between these 2, oc will have a decent bit better performance
@upper rain why are you muted
This looks really good did you put that together?
yeah
Oh okay cool!
He prolly tried to say a nono word 
Thank you I'm going to save that! Maybe I'll give it a go? I do like building things, but guitars and stuff
@acoustic palm @hexed marsh https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/t3Jfcx
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, GeForce RTX 5070, Montech X3 Mesh ATX Mid Tower
Save a few bucks and go for a 7500f from aliexpress

shipping
Free
180ish Cad
mhm
Thank you so very much for all the suggestions!
I've saved all the links and build on PC part picker. That was super helpful! And right on budget like a boss!!
WEGG SERVER TAG LETS FREAKING GOOOO
Hi
Hi
Wegg
?

Is it possible to get egg emoji for tag?
Wegg
My roomba
Look
Laptop
Im deciding specs rn
In going used work station, that are upgradable
time to see how much 64gb laptop ram cost cause if i can go overkill i would 
Good
Nada
okay hwo does this sound, 32gb wam, 512gb nvme i wont need a lot of storage
wam
Sounds good
Yup
wpog
@wary fjord be a wegg
Oh right youāre looking for a laptop
yeah
school?
dell precisions 5560 to be exact
es
why specifically a dell precision 5560
I don't know how to change tag on mobile discord
they are the cheapest laptop i can find with upgradable ram slots, good c pu and has a DGPU in it thats capable

Tried too but i cant find the option at mobile
the t1200 sucks, its a 1650 so no upscaling š¤®
Nvm got it
Tomie check it out I'm a beta
Yeah.. i only have 3 server tag.. VIP, AI, WEGG so far
looks like ill be spending about $500-600 on a laptop, for what im getting im not going to complain
this was like a $2000 laptop when it dropped or something crazy
oh yeah ima get ptm and r epaste it
you can hold multiple?
Yes but u can't wear multiple lol
right
sadly
Is tomieai a real ai
tomie's the only real ai
on bluesky you can tagspam
if a tag thing you subbed to has a million different tags
real
So what kind of things will you be doing with said laptop
Something power intensive?
light gaming, 99.9% school
thats why i picked a old used workstation, built to last, good quality, made to be.. moved
Pretty sure they are selling old M1 MacBooks for roughly $600
unless you arenāt a Mac user
love my thinkpad for on the go junk and school
Woah what happened with the server
it got wegged
looks to be
Roomba happened
We pranked an entire country town into thinking we were building a 20 storey state of the art McDonalds
WE ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH MCDONALDS

Only you can prevent the Roomba Revolution
idk you but awesome
Nice, but no woot channel? š
No woot channel
Do you guys like the new layout
I am still looking for feedback
mr roomba
i found the perfeect laptop for skool
personally I would move #links-and-selfpromotion down into the hobbies section or something
persoanlly id leave it
I'd also move #ranks-and-levels down somewhere as well
Specific channels are nice but too many hurts the social vibe
i think graphics cards, cpu storage, and case should all be condensed down to a tech chat
Itās gotta stay there unfortunately
Same story here
get out
i think tech deals and deal discussion should be deleted in favor ofo forems, or we can use THREADS to chat about deals minimizing clutter
We thought about it
benchmark
I need to get a roomba to put my fumos on
do we need this many
Condensing them would be too much in one.
The new changes look awful, lol
why do we need multiply channels to talk about diffrent pieces of pcs, those channels arnt really active enough to cause clutter and confusion
Yes, due to the differences in OS
Creating a separate space allows multiple conversations at one time.
you should take advantage of forums
This doesn't need to exist in this server
looks at that happening in general all the time 
Itās just a rename
general has pc component chat going on it it all the time
Of Overclocking
Oh that's even worse, lol
It was suggested by multiple techies
i cant wait to get my laptop and disable the DGPU for 90% of the time 
You can see the conversation @somber skiff
If anything, just keep the channel name overclocking
It was suggested to include software tweaking/undervolting/etc
if where goign to have all these channels give them emojies and formating to look less clutered
unless you get one with like 2 iGPU cores... in which case you will likely want to run everything on dgpu lol
Interesting
whats the point of a igpu if you cannt use it
if it cant run firefox 
not all iGPUs are decent lol
I feel like rather than asking "what here isn't working and needs changing" it was "we wanna change things brrrr"
Google UI changes be like
Itās been in the works for a while
if my super old laptop igpu can run roblox, im sure anything modern can run a browser 
Doesn't really change my statement
^
this laptop has so many cpus that run nthe same realworld performance

the i9 isnt even much fastrre lmfao
just wasted power
Haha yep
Let's remove the dislike button!
bench this marc
Iām certainly down for making some adjustments next time Iām able
they should pay you in a new gpu
