[hoary zodiac]

Nas is under maintenance

[frosty sinew]

heh... not mine

[hoary zodiac]

I've basically just shifted to having one single computer to having a bunch of smaller ones

[frosty sinew]

yeah i also wont have a nas when im in uni so

[hoary zodiac]

It's more practical in a sense that I can just migrate the vms

[frosty sinew]

fr

vms hog stoarge

and isos

[pliant berry]

perhaps this is where I say that a restart or update once in awhile can be beneficial

[hoary zodiac]

nah not really

Then again I don't use windows

So my vms are relatively small

[frosty sinew]

can be... yes... will i do it now? prob not

[frosty sinew]

well thats why lol mine are like 50+ gb each

[hoary zodiac]

Mine are a couple gigabytes

[frosty sinew]

also its truenas its basically indestrucible anyway

[hoary zodiac]

The main reason is because

Windows has too much overhead anyways so

[frosty sinew]

yeah tru

[hoary zodiac]

It'd be using up a lot of power doing nothing

Windows is fine as a desktop OS

But running a couple of instances in a vm?

It's gonna choke

[frosty sinew]

yeap it does

[hoary zodiac]

I can just about run one win 10 vm on my kaby lake laptop

[nocturne flicker]

This thingy: https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-desktop-sata-hdd?sku=WD80EAAZ

[hoary zodiac]

eh?

blue?

[nocturne flicker]

Oh it sent

[hoary zodiac]

is that CMR?

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

wtf???

didn't they make SMR reds

is WD based now?

[frosty sinew]

wd has always been good when ive used them

some of their hdds ive use have 30k hrs on them

[hoary zodiac]

WD is a mixed bag imo

HDDS...

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno. I got the older one that had half the cache but they released a new one with 256mb and didn't increase the price

[hoary zodiac]

they're better than seagate on average

[frosty sinew]

also can some of my pc parts sell plz

i want the money

[hoary zodiac]

except for the time they made SMR WD reds

[frosty sinew]

and them out of my hair

[hoary zodiac]

ssds are pretty mid-bad

[frosty sinew]

wd black on has been decent

[hoary zodiac]

not very well priced tho

there's always something better

[frosty sinew]

like am i overpircing a b4505 mobo

[lone mango]

sn580 and 5000 are unironically pretty good

[frosty sinew]

for 80usd

[hoary zodiac]

depends

what's the board

if it has crap vrms

yes

[nocturne flicker]

They borked the SN550 for a bit

Right before it got phased out they put a worse controller on it iirc?

They did something to it that had everyone annoyed for a minute

[frosty sinew]

b405 aorus elite v2

[hoary zodiac]

mid

how much is a tomahawk?

[frosty sinew]

idk

i lowered it 10 bucks

well see

5700x for 120usd reasonable?

[hoary zodiac]

are you already on AM4?

[frosty sinew]

i mean selling parts

[hoary zodiac]

oh

[frosty sinew]

i upgraded

[hoary zodiac]

ohhhhhhh

selling it

[frosty sinew]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

sell it for as much as you can

$100

$150

you can always lower it later

[frosty sinew]

true

[lone mango]

Nah 150 would be my itx board

[hoary zodiac]

100 for board an 150 for cpu

[lone mango]

Probably 100

[frosty sinew]

215 new cad

so 150 reasonabl

[lone mango]

This guy left a one star review on these thermal pads because his 14900k immediately hit 100c

Oh I see

They market it as something to be put on a cpu and gpu as well as other things

They also show sata ssds and not nvme ssds

[fresh timber]

Sell for $200 they like $270 rn

[wary fjord]

U can use thermal pad for cpu?

Aint that prune to bending pins

[fresh timber]

You can

[sinful blade]

What could be the issue here?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/226846133345

[fresh timber]

??

[wary fjord]

Because the gap are inforced

[lone mango]

Probably because they are not made anymore

[fresh timber]

Excatly

Capitalize

[lone mango]

Yeah but at the cost of thermal throttling

[wary fjord]

3 faulty dp what that dude do to that card?

[fresh timber]

Bad chip?

I bet it’s something you could fix

[wary fjord]

Ow functional.. its hdmi thats broken i see

[lone mango]

Oven trick

[wary fjord]

Artifact+ Crash hmm.. oven time

[lone mango]

[fair onyx]

Is this a good option for a cheap 2TB SSD?

https://a.co/d/fYzAHwB

[fresh timber]

No

idk

[fair onyx]

Oh lol

I'm looking for a 2TB-4TB NVMe for my dual boot drive

[lone mango]

https://a.co/d/9TvCvpF

[little geode]

my default drive is a m.2 and i got another m.2 but its not compatible with the other port on my motherboard is there a way to transfer the data on the new ssd

[fair onyx]

That's quite a bit slower than I was hoping for personally. Are there any good options for full Gen4 speed SSD's?

[lone mango]

This has dram and can write 7000 for close to two minutes before cache dies
https://a.co/d/cyAbO4t

110s or so

[fair onyx]

Good to know, not bad

That would work for me. I just need really fast read

Write doesn't matter at all for me

[simple cedar]

I'm tryna find the best gaming mesh system with a router and a puck for cheap, but it has to work with bringing ping down lower due to my ping being fine but my isp's mesh system is having an issue of not receiving enough packets and a tech recommended me to get a gaming mesh system specifically to boost my gaming experience, any ideas on what I should get for cheap?

[fair onyx]

I'll take more of a look into this one, thanks

Any specific info on the 4TB? Any pros/cons?

Oh nevermind, that cost doesn't make sense lol

[wary fjord]

That def need a heatsink

[fair onyx]

@lone mango would this work for me? I just need fast reads, I don't care about writes

[lone mango]

This one is 4tb and writes for almost 2 minutes before dropping to 3000
https://a.co/d/d8QBHG3

This would be better because when the speed drops it doesnt go to 0 while the crucial does

[fair onyx]

Oh nice, this seems good then

Again, writes aren't important at all for me. Just reads, but that's a good price

[lone mango]

Benchmarks focus on writes but I am pretty sure reads would fare better

reminder

[fair onyx]

My friend has a song with her that got scrapped off their album lmao

[fresh timber]

who do u know

and.. how

ITS FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY YEAH

FRIDAY FRIDYA

[fair onyx]

My best friend I grew up with is a successful music producer and DJ

The song unfortunately didn't get cleared by her record label, but I still have a copy and it was so good 😭

[fresh timber]

can i grow up tooo

[fair onyx]

Lol

[fresh timber]

you know how many people would acuse you of AI if you posted that

[tranquil pebble]

someone should make a render of Java Duke playing with a Duke controller lol

[fresh timber]

find a fan server? they would call it fake

[fair onyx]

Lol probably a lot

[fresh timber]

i wodner how a fan ser ver would react, mods prob would call it fake

[fair onyx]

I would share it, if it wasn't a legal nightmare in the making lmfao

[fresh timber]

i ownder what the laws are behind people singing

[fair onyx]

Danger, danger danger, danger, danger danger

[wary fjord]

I found a new type of case yesterday.. where psu was in the front. Very unique

[fair onyx]

Huh, weird lol

[little geode]

did anyone see my question

[lone mango]

Those are starting to get more popular

[fresh timber]

how many more months until i sell my pc and go itx

[wary fjord]

1

And nothing will change if u switch

[lone mango]

What are you copying

[fresh timber]

ehh traveling would be 500xx easier

[lone mango]

Is it an operating system

[wary fjord]

Ah u touch grass

[tranquil pebble]

yeah no, do not do that to yourself

[wary fjord]

Yeah it helps

[fresh timber]

i could make my pc the size of an EGPU

7900x??? 9070xt :)))

[wary fjord]

Do you know the case name?

[little geode]

yeah i think cause i wanna transfer the data from my old ssd with the windows installed and everything like that to my new one

[lone mango]

Macrium reflect

[fresh timber]

i use that

[lone mango]

I just used it a day or two ago

I cloned windows to my new drive but I barely use windows

[fresh timber]

i need this to go right instead of left ;/

[wary fjord]

Fresh install is ❤️

[lone mango]

I probably should have cloned linux to the new drive instead since that is what I use daily

[fair onyx]

They just had to fire one of their closest collaborators on their personal projects cause they found he was compiling and leaking pre-releases and master stems from unreleased projects in the industry, including my best friends album a month before it dropped 😭

[fresh timber]

what song

[fair onyx]

Not just a song, hundreds, from several different artists

[tranquil pebble]

all I can say is... idiot

[little geode]

how did you clone it

[lone mango]

Macrium reflect

[fresh timber]

i legit downloaded macrium with no tutorial and figured it out while also spamming cloud

do the same

[lone mango]

[little geode]

im gonna downlload it now

[tranquil pebble]

just use dd like a crazy person

[lone mango]

I almost considered using it

[fair onyx]

Yeah, he was connected to so many major artists, and a huge person in the entire scene, and the idiot was uploading all of the pirated and stolen songs under his same username. And then multiple people found him at the same time, and it was just a nightmare

I don't understand how you could be somebody who's in that position of power with so many cutting edge artists in the scene, and then just give it all up for the sake of what, a little bit of clout?

[fresh timber]

how can u leak something and not be a good leaker

[lone mango]

Yeah how did they even get him

[fresh timber]

i would have made a wholleeee new account and everything

anyways ima go listen to some leaked music

sytan friend worked with peak juice world

[wary fjord]

https://youtube.com/shorts/zxWg3BfyYmI?si=SdfzkZc9eTVH7v8G

[fresh timber]

depends on da game

[wary fjord]

Not fair..

[fresh timber]

hes also murdering 14900k PL

[fresh timber]

youo would be suprised

they cost about the same now

[little geode]

before i mess something up i assume you just click clone and choose the ssd you want it on

[fresh timber]

pretty much

sytan must become the besst ai artist

make ai beats

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecIH-4RbbOk @lone mango "rap is dead"

[fair onyx]

So he is a managing partner for like a dozen up and coming artists right now, including my friend. So he was in control of passing the song Masters to the record labels in order to get them confirmed, and he would literally just rip them, put them into a folder, and then upload them on one of the most prolific song leaking sights, using the exact same username as he does on Twitter, discord, and everything

It's honestly kind of insane, he was doing it for like 5 months before anybody caught him

[lone mango]

I never said that

[fresh timber]

who was hit

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

i forgot

[fair onyx]

Yeah, it was a complete and other nightmare. It sucks because he was a really cool guy too. All of us considered him a friend, and then he went and just threw it all away for literally nothing

[little geode]

is there a way to check if it cloned properaly after its done

[lone mango]

Boot to it and see

[lone mango]

[little geode]

i was gonna do that lol i just didnt feel like unscrewing the thingy rn

[lone mango]

How did you clone to the drive

[little geode]

marcium

[lone mango]

Do you have an enclosure for it

[little geode]

enclousure for what?

[lone mango]

You said it was not compatible or something, so how did you clone to the drive if it is not in your computer

[hoary zodiac]

[little geode]

i have a 2 m.2 slots the main one is the one my old one is on and theres another slot thats like worse that i have my new ssd in but it like doesnt function cause its not powerful enouigh

so both are in my pc

[hoary zodiac]

what is the motherboard

some motherboards disable slots when there certain hardware combinations are met

[little geode]

gigabyte b550 ds3h ac

[hoary zodiac]

yeah that sounds like one of those

bottom of the barrel board

[lone mango]

Ok so you have a drive in a slot that is slower than it

Well since it is already in the board just boot to it

[little geode]

yeah i was planning on putting in my new ssd in the strong slot once i cloned it

[lone mango]

Cloning process is slow so it doesnt matter

[little geode]

before it wasnt showing up on my files when i had it in but i just finished cloning and now it shows up

[lone mango]

My drives can write 1800 sustained for minutes on minutes but the clone was at ~450 mb/s

[hoary zodiac]

the slot shouldn't be disabled outright

it'd just run really slow

[fresh timber]

k em up and throw away the key, lock em up and throw away the key

[hoary zodiac]

even by gen 3 standards

[fresh timber]

i jsut wanna be free

gen 3 is peak

[fair onyx]

Tetanus shot has been acquired

[fresh timber]

you got what

[little geode]

ok well after cloning it pops up on the file explorer but it has 500gb instead of the 1tb but im assuming thats becasue its in the slow slot

[hoary zodiac]

did you partition the drive

beforehand

if it was unpartitioned it wouldn't show up

[lone mango]

When you clone an unpartitioned drive it will make a partition of the cloned partition

[hoary zodiac]

what was the size of the old drive

[lone mango]

If it is 500 gigs then you probably had a 500 gig partition originally and need to extend it

[hoary zodiac]

you need to expand the partition to fill the drive

[little geode]

i never heard of partitioning a drive so i think i missed an important detail

[lone mango]

Nah

[hoary zodiac]

yeah mystery solved

[little geode]

the old drive is 500gb the new one i got is 1tb

[lone mango]

Macrium will do it already, you just ened to extend it

[hoary zodiac]

if you weren't cloning

[fair onyx]

Oh, I thought I posted it here lol

I had to go to urgent care cause I skinned my foot on a rusty dumpster, and I hadn't had a tetanus shot in 11 years

[hoary zodiac]

and were going to use it as a standard drive

then you would've had to partition it

[fair onyx]

So, tetanus has been shot lol

[hoary zodiac]

I mean you still have to go in the partition manager now

and extend the partition

[lone mango]

Same for me with my windows partition being 650, so I had to extend the partition

Go to disk management and extend the partition and youll be good

[little geode]

ok ill try that

[hoary zodiac]

speaking of partitions

I need to get rid of some trash

[little geode]

is it extend volume?

[lone mango]

yur

[little geode]

it says total volume size is 953046 mb and max available space is around half of that

[hoary zodiac]

uhhh

1.6TB?

must have had some symlinked stuff

[lone mango]

Yeah because operating systems measure storage differently

Windows measures it in MiB but displays it to you in MB

You are using the whole drive its just a unit conversion thing

[little geode]

i get the conversion im just unable to extend the amount of space to the full 1tb it seems like

[fresh timber]

is it my fault for getting mad at people who fool around in unranked matches

[lone mango]

953046 x 1.024 is about 976 gigs, dont worry about it

[hoary zodiac]

💀

[lone mango]

yea

[fresh timber]

sad

dont worry ill still talk shit

[little geode]

i think im unablle to post screenshots im trying to show you what i see

[pliant berry]

try again

[little geode]

thats the highest it goes is what i was trying to say

[hoary zodiac]

try 928

[lone mango]

Yeah because you are adding that to your partition

[little geode]

ohhh

[hoary zodiac]

if you look a the total it's still 953046MB

that's the full 1TB

[little geode]

ok so basically im adding the other half back?

[lone mango]

You are adding the unallocated space to your partition yes

[little geode]

ok that makes more sense now

is this part important at all?

[fresh timber]

@fair onyx how did u touch dumpster..

[elfin mural]

im downgrading my laptop goal to 5060 or 5070

[fresh timber]

[wary fjord]

This gpu has like this on front what is this

[little geode]

it said there wasnt enough space to complete the operation

[fresh timber]

nvlink

[wary fjord]

Ah

[fair onyx]

It rolled over my foot and scraped the skin off of the top of it, and it also bruised the bone on top of my foot

[elfin mural]

9060xt on.. egpu?

sounds kinda sweet

[fresh timber]

do it

[elfin mural]

just need a usb4 laptop

[fresh timber]

[elfin mural]

my laptop already has usb 4

but i intend to give this thing to my twin brother

he's stuck with my other, older laptop

[fresh timber]

twin??

THEIRS TWO OF YOU???

[elfin mural]

[wary fjord]

asus in trouble again

the usual

armoury crate can be easily hijacked to feed malware

[arctic lily]

Oh heck nah

[wary fjord]

Hmm now I'm wondering if i have that option ay my b550

On bios part

Puttin armoy there is crazy

[lone mango]

We love remote code execution

[hoary zodiac]

Knowing asus

they will port armoury crate to linux

just to put their crap on your desktop

[wary fjord]

True 😅 incase u forgot your password or something

[lone mango]

I doubt it will install through wine

Unless you mean a native linux package but that will not be happening

[wary fjord]

It will exec but wont communicate on your mobo

Since all syscalls are virtualized

[hoary zodiac]

it's joever syscells

[fresh timber]

armor crate aint even mad

bad

peak

oh

[wary fjord]

When uninstall that software all it's service still there

[fresh timber]

i was 10% this entire time

[lone mango]

Did you update armory crate

[fresh timber]

no

[wary fjord]

Hehe i dont know if they respect users decision to uninstall it or nah

[fresh timber]

why

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

???

[elfin mural]

i uninstalled armoury crate completely

[fresh timber]

what

[lone mango]

Nothing

[elfin mural]

and whenever i hit the armoury crate key on my laptop

[elfin mural]

a pop up asking to install armoury crate pops up

[fresh timber]

mhhh

[elfin mural]

lmao

[wary fjord]

When i reset windows first thing i do is to not install armory

[elfin mural]

it's baked into the bios

[fresh timber]

oh just disable it in the bios

theirs an option

[elfin mural]

there's not an option for my laptop

so i have to cope with it

[fresh timber]

darmn

my last asus laptop broke so i cant help

[elfin mural]

not like the armoury crate key is a key combo anyway

asus gaming laptops have 4 special keys

[wary fjord]

Framework only interesting laptop now adays xD

But expensive sadly

[elfin mural]

volume up down, mic mic/unmute and armoury crate

[lone mango]

Ima need me a used framework

[fresh timber]

framework costed too much for me to get

[wary fjord]

If yoi have broken laptop u can convert the gpu on it to desktop

[misty sparrow]

apparently framework laptops feel cheap

too plasticy

[wary fjord]

Dont throw the broken laptop. Revive the gpu

[elfin mural]

their entire shells are made outta magnesium alloy

unless you're talking about the framework 12

[pliant berry]

if I were to get a new laptop id be torn between framework and apple. I really like the reusability of frameworks but really prefer macos for work

[elfin mural]

that's a budget option

[fresh timber]

i would go apple but it cost too much for okay specs

[wary fjord]

Magnesium sounds like that chemical that hates being exposed in air or something

[fresh timber]

then again i love my lenovo

[elfin mural]

it's an alloy

[wary fjord]

Dont love brands

[elfin mural]

magnesium alone wouldn't be a good idea

[wary fjord]

They dont love u back

[elfin mural]

lenovo laptops seem to offer the best software as far as non-mac laptops go

framework is middling, but that's expected from a small company

[wary fjord]

Those laptop that includes a reset os installation or recovery built in.. i love those

[pliant berry]

to me the software on all of them suck unless it's not windows

🙂

[fresh timber]

lenovo good

i love my lenovo

wayy bettre than apple. they dont skimp on storage

[hoary zodiac]

Imagine having a crap ton of bloatware on top of an already bloated os

[wary fjord]

They soldered storage on their laptop right?

For performance they said

[pliant berry]

the older lenovos were really nice. newer ones less so. ive had to deal with so many problematic lenovo and dell laptops the past year

[wary fjord]

[hoary zodiac]

Lenovo?

Depends on the model

[wary fjord]

Apple

[hoary zodiac]

If it's apple

it's always so that people can't repair them

[lone mango]

Yeah but there are guides on how to replace the storage lol

Kinda crazy people went to those lengths

[wary fjord]

Its one shot tho

If u failed

[lone mango]

Probably because it is apple

[elfin mural]

loq is pretty decent

[wary fjord]

That mem is unusable anymore

[elfin mural]

DONT get the loq essential tho

[misty sparrow]

"8 GB on Mac is analogous to 16 GB on Windows"

[wary fjord]

If u fail

[elfin mural]

that's trash

[lone mango]

Im gonna repaste my 6700 xt

[misty sparrow]

are thinkpads good at all

[lone mango]

Should I get thermal pads too or hope that these will still be ok when I take the card apart

I already ordered ptm before I looked at pads to get

[elfin mural]

thinkpads

they range from eh to great

[fresh timber]

sell it

[lone mango]

No, it peaked 100c

[elfin mural]

one of the best laptop keyboards on the market

[lone mango]

Then I will sell it

Ok micro center has thermal pads

In case if these rip or something I will go to micro center

[elfin mural]

eugh, 2242 m.2 support only for the main slot

[misty sparrow]

I hate the positioning of the arrow keys and enter key

[fresh timber]

ooo thats my laptop foxy

[wary fjord]

Rdna1 has the worlds smallest die in gpu i think xD its like 1.5cm x 1.5cm

[fresh timber]

mines like that too

[misty sparrow]

and the fact that there's a dedicated copilot button

[elfin mural]

that's european layout

[misty sparrow]

oh right it's not QWERTY

[lone mango]

My ass is not buying a laptop in europe 🙏

[fresh timber]

got my grandfather phone bill down

[misty sparrow]

My ass is not going to Europe at all 😭 🙏

[fresh timber]

why do europeans need a diffrent layout

its the same damn keys

[misty sparrow]

they're special

[fresh timber]

i dont understand differnt layouts unless you speak a language that doesnt involve english letters

[misty sparrow]

to be fair the keyboard layout in the picture has non-english characters

[elfin mural]

it's european, also german

[fresh timber]

Real keyboard

[elfin mural]

that'd explain non-qwerty

[misty sparrow]

first laptop i've seen that has a full numberpad on the right side

[wary fjord]

Azerty vs Qwerty layout

Who will win?

[fresh timber]

my copiolot key doesnt work lmfao

qwerty, im faster on qwerty

[elfin mural]

the layout everyone else in the world gets

[misty sparrow]

that's better

[misty sparrow]

numberpad can go but this is a good laptop keyboard

[fresh timber]

im ngl, iw ish they removed my numpad in favor of better speakers

numpad useless

i never use it

[elfin mural]

lenovo consistently makes decent keyboards

[fresh timber]

oh my keyboard is amazing on my laptop

[elfin mural]

it's one of the brand's strengths

[wary fjord]

Its so useful in blender

[fresh timber]

amaing keyboard nad build quality, finger print magnet

the chassie is fullof em, and the touch screen

[elfin mural]

it's one of the reasons im considering a loq

[wary fjord]

I type faster on laptop keeb than desktop keeb

Hahha

[elfin mural]

legion too fancy

[fresh timber]

same

[elfin mural]

1600p oled

[fresh timber]

i can barley crack 100wpm on my laptop

[elfin mural]

too much res

[misty sparrow]

I just use the numberpad for GTAV flight controls thats about it really

[fresh timber]

i loose about 10-20wpm on laptop

[misty sparrow]

skill issue

[elfin mural]

im waiting on 5070 loq so i can option it

with 13450hx

[fresh timber]

foxy

[elfin mural]

6p4e

[fresh timber]

should i egpu now or later

[elfin mural]

that decision is yours to make

[fresh timber]

now and im broke until i sell this pc, later and i wont be broke

[elfin mural]

i hate being broke so i'd say later

lmao

[fresh timber]

works for me

[wary fjord]

Just dont be broke

[elfin mural]

do i choose white backlight or 24 zone rgb

it's only 10 bucks extra

kek

[fresh timber]

[rancid juniper]

took so much effort in getting video footage that i decided not to do anything with it for nearly a year lol

i dunno if its worth making a video (editing sucks)

[icy ore]

1060 3gb

[fresh timber]

5060 has 5 more GB

[lone mango]

They did a great job stopping me from unplugging this by having the cable and fin stack block the right side of the connector

I slightly bent the first fin on the right of it but I gave up

Now I think its just pure suction holding the card together

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-gamers-nexus-pc-bomb-planted-gif-22845602

[lone mango]

Damn it the pads ripped

Well I guess that was expected

I just didn’t want it to happen

That moment when you see bare silicon where paste should be

[wary fjord]

Hmm it rarely rip unless u forcd to open it

Sadge just get new pad

Or ux uprisen pro one

[lone mango]

I dont remember pushing that hard I think its just from how stuck together it ws

[lone mango]

Are those 1mm pads on the vram

Looks like it

[random osprey]

that left middle one really wanted to stay

[lone mango]

The ones over power delivery are a little thicker so I think that is 1.5mm and vram has 1mm

[lone mango]

They superglued this thing bruh

[wary fjord]

Wrong size= broke solder balls below.. or improper contact,

No more guessing if u use ux uprisen pro on it..

It holds shape doesn't look like melted burned styrofoam in long run

[lone mango]

Thats the white putty right

[fresh timber]

Real

Mines was like that

[wary fjord]

Yeah but better

Not messy to clean

Other ones looks like melted marshmallow in few months

Sticks to pcb components hard to clean

This one not

[fresh timber]

My tummy hurts

[wary fjord]

Not white its gray i think

[lone mango]

Light gray whatever it is

Its in a small glass container right

[lone mango]

Pretty sure I saw it on amazon

ima see what micro center has

[wary fjord]

Dont get the pink version.. the u6 pro that one is trash.

[lone mango]

Do you think I could reuse the torn pad going over the mosfets

[wary fjord]

If the rip part still on heatsink maybe

But if u lost it and it has thst huge missing chunk

[lone mango]

Ok so only putty micro center has is from thermal grizzly

[lone mango]

In the picture two lr33s have pad on them

But it covers the center of them so I think I should be ok

[wary fjord]

Sorry no idea about it xD i know they make good paste tho.. maybe they did good at putty too

[fresh timber]

You inspired me

[wary fjord]

Just align those rip pads.. ull be fine hehe for now

But better if u replace them soon

[fresh timber]

TomieAI

Give your username origin

[wary fjord]

[hoary zodiac]

Gonna try av1 lossless

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber amd general im rage baiting so hard

[hoary zodiac]

Nvm it's not lossless

[lone mango]

which ifixit kit should i get

[deep parcel]

I have the pro tech one

its nice.

I would probably say wait for a sale but up to you

[lone mango]

I want to support ifixit but they are very expensive

[deep parcel]

indeed... but the warrantee with it is nice

https://www.ifixit.com/Info/Warranty

[lone mango]

How useful is the opening knife

Is that for when the other tools are too thick to get into something

[deep parcel]

I dont really use them too often to open things but its nice.

The picks are also nice for getting into laptops with clips for example

[lone mango]

Yeah picks I understand but why have the pick, pry tool and opening knife in the essentials kit and not the flexible extension replacing one of those three

Do you think I should get the essential kit and get the flexible extension or should I get the mako and the pry tool set

[deep parcel]

yeah thats true... I mean the essentials kit looks decent enough.. lemme look at the mako

[lone mango]

Mako kinda overkill for me tho

I really dont need that many bits

[deep parcel]

ah mako is basically just the screw driver with all the bits

if you dont need all the bits or dont think you ever will use most of them then yeah just go with the essentials kit

majority of the time im using the phillips

the pro tech go kit looks decent too

a little less expensive but with basically everything

but yeah prob essentials if you wanna be a bit more budget... should be enough for the majority of things that you may need to work on.

[lone mango]

Goes hard

[deep parcel]

indeed

[elfin mural]

i yearn for that kit

whatever tool i have rn just sucks

[deep parcel]

I love my ifixit kit...

only thing I wish is that the tray for the screws would be magnetic

but other than that its okay

[elfin mural]

i so need that suction cup

[lone mango]

Bro I use the bequiet screwdriver they put with their cooler

[elfin mural]

and better pry tools

[deep parcel]

mans using a screw driver a foot long

[lone mango]

For everything

[elfin mural]

i have a xioami electric screwdriver

the bits are so rusty

[lone mango]

Damn

That kit doesnt have the extension either

[elfin mural]

the rust spread from my old laptop's rusty screws

lmao

[deep parcel]

do you need the extension?

I never use the extension lol

[lone mango]

I have a feeling I would need it

Not often but at some point

This card was a pain in the ass

My system is also itx

[deep parcel]

ah

yeah that might come in handy then

[lone mango]

My ass really used that huge screwdriver on the tiny gpu braket screws

[icy ore]

Man you need to get your ass under control

[lone mango]

I just found a ifixit pro tech for $43.50

Oh great they have two different screwdrivers

[lone mango]

do you see the ripped pad at the top covering two lr33s

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/500102940078505984/1396010872291201104/IMG_2220.jpg?ex=687c87f0&is=687b3670&hm=c0d218983e54463fa297594c0fd12b09d6c7ba2a02cdbd35a813234e6d99b601&

Could I be lazy and reuse this since the rest is on the heatsink

or do i just accept the putty reality

[elfin mural]

probably

but i'd rather accept the putty reality

there's no way you can perfectly squish the pads back on without risking damaging somethin

[lone mango]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/697699/thermal-grizzly-tg-putty-basic-30g

this seems like not much

[fresh timber]

how

[fresh timber]

i just owke up

should i go back to bed or do i lollygag

also tel lme more about your twin, how are their two foxys

[elfin mural]

i usually slip into a short nap if i don't wanna get out of my bed

also uhhhhhh

well, idk how else to explain

lmao

[fresh timber]

why did i imagine you being bed bound with a laptop on ur chest

idk why

[elfin mural]

my disability ain't that severe

but it's enough to keep me at home

[fresh timber]

your twin took all the good points

[elfin mural]

i have the brains however

he has issues with learning

unable to read

[fresh timber]

Brains and bronze

lmk if I’m being rude I’m just joking

[elfin mural]

nah ur fine

[fresh timber]

Yaya

So what type of twins are you?

My best friends are twins too

[elfin mural]

we're just a normal twin

[fresh timber]

It’s crazy how similar yet so different they are

[elfin mural]

not identical

[fresh timber]

L

I knew identical twins it’s funny

[fresh timber]

What should I decorate my laptop with Mr Fox

@lone mango ohh you mf https://youtu.be/Vy_KWP04pfs

NO WONDER U WAS LIKE THAT EARLIER

[elfin mural]

i.. honestly don't decorate my laptop

i do want a cooling pad tho

them llano things

legit temp improvements

also acts as a second dust filter

keeps even more dust away

[fresh timber]

have u ever considered making ur laptop multi monitor

hello chris

[elfin mural]

nah, i don't have the space to do so

and idk what do i wanna do with having multi monitor

[fresh timber]

i alwasy wondered what ur setup looks like

[elfin mural]

my setup is just a mouse mat on a small foldable table

[fresh timber]

ru stupid, the mods right their

[elfin mural]

smh

[fresh timber]

like legit, use a braincell

[elfin mural]

begone, scammer

[fresh timber]

awe i wanted to play with my food

[elfin mural]

the only use i'd have for a monitor would be

spotify/youtube/discord on one screen

[fresh timber]

damn

[elfin mural]

games on the other

[fresh timber]

at my moms house i have two 27inch boys

at my dads i hav my 27 inch and a shitty tv

[elfin mural]

and the last thing i wanna see is discord to distract me from my gaming

[fresh timber]

lmfao

i already let it

half the time im in a match yapping to yall

[elfin mural]

but it's honestly kinda useful when i have music on one screen while i game on the other

so i don't have to tab around

[fresh timber]

i just keep discord up

foxy im going down the thundebolt rabbit hole

[elfin mural]

when i wanna see discord while im gaming, i either tab out or pull my phone up

ah yes, the egpus

that fun stuff

[fresh timber]

turns out Tb4 is limited to DP 1.4 and u cant leverge higher unless your displays uses a thunderbolt propritaty connection

like those apple displays

[fresh timber]

you ever consider one?

[elfin mural]

yes but not really

space constraints again

[fresh timber]

floor

[elfin mural]

my little table is TINY

[fresh timber]

FLOOR

[elfin mural]

i can extend my entire arm and reach the other end of the table

[fresh timber]

fiber optic thunderbolt cable

egpu in the other room

[elfin mural]

i sit on the floor with a tiny cushion so my butt doesn't hurt

my back is leaned against the wall of my room

[fresh timber]

is your room tiny asf

[elfin mural]

also yes

[fresh timber]

harry potter

before i got the basement my room at my dads was tiny, walk in closet sized i still put a desk

[elfin mural]

my room is like 20 square meters

it's small

a bed already takes so much room

[fresh timber]

my dads room like that

i put bed on left and pc on right

my pc is massive asf in that room

my pc is just too big

gosh making a egpu is going to be expensive

oo @elfin mural use savings to smash hole in wall and gain a extra square meter

[elfin mural]

my room is already as big as it's gonna get

i'd take space from my mom's room

[fresh timber]

lol

my mom room i s small only because my mom put to big of a bed in it

idk how i fit a full setup in that room

[elfin mural]

my first purchase to upgrade my setup is to well

get an actual router

i don't have actual internet here

i live off 4g or 5g

phone hotspot is unreliable

[fresh timber]

u wanna spend money for a monthly internet bill?

i have 2gig if you wanna borrow it

[elfin mural]

lol

i don't even live near you anyway so

[fresh timber]

i deadass iahve enough bandwidth lel

i got this so i can cosnume all the intenet and my family wont complain that the tvs doesnt work

[elfin mural]

i just want actual fiber internet

[fresh timber]

is it avalible in ur area

[elfin mural]

instead of this sometimes unstable and unusable mobile data

[fresh timber]

fiber can be cheap

[elfin mural]

nope

it's a remote area

[fresh timber]

you live in the boonies

[elfin mural]

like according to the housing policy

[fresh timber]

i made boonies up

[elfin mural]

im literally near the main highway

but it's like, an unpopulated area

my house is the first house built in this weird area

[fresh timber]

so what im hearing is you just live away from everyone but nowhere near remote

[elfin mural]

we moved in last year

yep

away from people but not remote

[fresh timber]

lol

can u get dsl

[elfin mural]

im only 30 mins away from the city

[fresh timber]

you aren ot remote

30mins from a city

are u murican

[elfin mural]

my mom insists we get power poles here first before she thinks about getting a line here

nah, im in thailand

[fresh timber]

oh

i had no idea im ngl

[elfin mural]

we're actually using someone else's power

paying our part

[fresh timber]

how

other countries are so scuff

[elfin mural]

i unno much

but at least we have power at all

[fresh timber]

lmfao

no wonder ur 5g is unreliable

my friend is quarter thai the quarter is very important to her

[elfin mural]

thailand has fast and cheap fiber internet- provided your area is supported

[fresh timber]

oo ur in the part thats like modern?

[elfin mural]

to get power poles we'd need to pay like 3k in usd

we don't got that kinda money

[fresh timber]

power poles?

im confoosed

[elfin mural]

yeah

there's no poles here lol

[fresh timber]

they dont just exist? or go underground?

mines are under the ground

[elfin mural]

in the exact spot that im in

there's none

[fresh timber]

how do u get power

[elfin mural]

no above ground or underground

[fresh timber]

do you run an extention cord from neighbors

[elfin mural]

we hook up to someone nearby

yes

that's precisely what we did

[fresh timber]

how do u charge

do u go to the extention cord and plug in

lmfao

[elfin mural]

nah

we have actual breakers and stuff

[fresh timber]

is it hooekd up into the house it self?

[elfin mural]

yeup

the house gets power

[fresh timber]

ohh an extention cord built to carry it

im thinking, no way your extention cord can handel the 240v or what ever yall use, all those amps, and not trip something

[elfin mural]

power concerns aren't a thing, but doing it this way certainly prevents fiber to be installed

[fresh timber]

i already trip my breaker with my pc running

[fresh timber]

okay hear me out, fiber at neighbors house and ubuquti point to point AP

[elfin mural]

the breaker here trips sometimes, but it's usually caused by a random ass gecko walking into the breaker and tripping it as it gets fried

[fresh timber]

.. how ar geckos getting into the breaker?

i wont ask questions nvm

its thailand something has to be weird

[elfin mural]

the breaker isn't in a box

it's literally open to the outside world

[elfin mural]

same reason as before, my mom is the one who wants to wait

[fresh timber]

do u have a picture

[elfin mural]

err no

[fresh timber]

so ur mom wants intenet

[fresh timber]

i HAVE to see this

[elfin mural]

the breaker's outside, at the kitchen next to the side of the house

[fresh timber]

OHHH

ITS ON THE WALL OUTSIDE

[elfin mural]

ya

[fresh timber]

i thought it was just loose on the ground

[elfin mural]

the kitchen is outside too, under a roof ofc

think of it as open air i guess

and if ur not careful you can fall off and roll aaaaaall the way down a hill

the house is on a hill

[fresh timber]

wait i have question

soooo

its like my breaker but with out a door

[elfin mural]

yep

[fresh timber]

so its just this

no box designed to keep things out

[elfin mural]

essentially that but no box

it's honestly dangerous- but we don't have the money lmao

[fresh timber]

that shits going to fail

says the one who wants to buy a 5070 laptop

[elfin mural]

well-

i do have a partner

[fresh timber]

i give your breaker another few months before weather or something breaks it

[elfin mural]

they give me money

[fresh timber]

aweeee

[elfin mural]

that's why i can yap about getting a 5070 laptop

otherwise i'd be stuck with this 4050

that took 2 years to fully pay off

[fresh timber]

oh

https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/wifi-bridging/products/ubb also

start saving up

fiber, but wirelessly

[elfin mural]

oh that's sick

mega expensive tho

[fresh timber]

theirs cheaper

i just dont know which are quality

i know ubuqiti shit is good tho

[elfin mural]

i'd rather save cash and cope with a 4g+ router

i might ask my partner for a 5g one, they really want me to get good internet

tho the 5g reception in my area is patchy

4g is literally more stable

consistently hits the plan's speed

[fresh timber]

4g

[elfin mural]

which is about 15-30 mbps

[fresh timber]

..

oh

i was about to say 100-200mbps

[elfin mural]

it's slow but livable

i mean i can hit 100+ easily but

the plan caps it to a measly speed

[fresh timber]

hear me out, go broke with starlink

[fresh timber]

to be fair a phone doesnt need more than that anyways

[elfin mural]

actually, starlink is opening in thailand soon

elon himself tweeted it

and a uni in thailand did start field testing it

[fresh timber]

funfact, if you just buy it and pay the extra roaming fee it will just work

it might be cheaper to get fiber at ur neighbors and use a point to point ap

[elfin mural]

i've seen scam centers in a country next door to thailand use starlink

they got arrested and the cops confiscated so many starlink dishes

[fresh timber]

SO U DO GO OUTSIDE

[elfin mural]

sometimes

i need people to pick me up and carry me into the truck lol

[fresh timber]

india, take notes

[fresh timber]

oh u cant walk

[elfin mural]

ya

[fresh timber]

rip legs

i have an idea hold up

[elfin mural]

ill stay tuned for starlink

but in the mean time a 4g router will do

[fresh timber]

get this

now u can walk

go to a hospital and steal this in the meantime

[elfin mural]

i do have a wheelchair

but i can't even get on it by myself

not bed bound, but unable to walk

nor can i stand xd

[fresh timber]

mhhhhh

im going to take a wild super duper inaccurat guess thats clearly wrong but, ru mr roombas wife

[fresh timber]

no arms? i see people on wheelchair use arms to transfer

[elfin mural]

i have arms

but you see, i have a genetic condition

i got muscle dystrophy

and uh, my bones are fragile

double whammy combo of negative luck

[fresh timber]

oh wow

[elfin mural]

i used to be able to get on my wheelchair

but i fell and fractured my arm

[fresh timber]

so u stopped doing that i see

[elfin mural]

physically unable to also

[fresh timber]

got weaker i see

[elfin mural]

my tendons in that fractured arm ended up seizing up

and also weaker as well

[fresh timber]

darn

get this

lmfao deadass ever think about getting somebody to weld a a monitor and folding desk to your wheelchair

[elfin mural]

lmao

no

cuz i wouldn't be able to sleep lol

[fresh timber]

jackery under the seat, laptop also under seat, then it runs to a tb4 hub, which provides power and usb to the top of the hcair thats conviently powers a monitor keyboard mouse

[upper rain]

pov 16 hours of daily LoL has max leveled your BMI

[fresh timber]

use a vr headset

[elfin mural]

im happy with my current setup

[fresh timber]

@elfin mural can u wear vr headsets, deadass you could just use that as a monitor

[elfin mural]

i just desire for better internet

[fresh timber]

internet

[elfin mural]

and uh, of course 5070

xd

[fresh timber]

lmfao

EGPU.... strap the egpu under your wheelchair

dont let my adhd design shit, if i get access to money all my dumb ideas will come true

id deadass sell gaming wheelchairs

mhh perhaprs mini pcs or something, id want it to be battery powered

i may go back to bed just for a few hours to get the rest of my sleep

[elfin mural]

my dream would be just a simple wheelchair with a seat that can lower and raise

so i can get on one and like, go to places

[fresh timber]

oooo

[elfin mural]

no one does that

i guess im the rare exception

[fresh timber]

oh no they exist

[elfin mural]

i need one that can adjust very very low lmao

that'd need custom fabrication

[fresh timber]

i meannnn just raise to max and lower it

easy

now u can raise and lower

[frosty sinew]

6800xt for 400usd decent?

[hoary zodiac]

To buy or sell

If you're selling

Ehh

The thing is

9060XT 16GB costs less so

I wouldn't pay more than the msrp of a 9060XT 16GB for a 6800XT

[frosty sinew]

buy

alr

i just want a decent gpu updgrade

[hoary zodiac]

Going from...?

[frosty sinew]

preferable not nvidia

[frosty sinew]

6700xt

[hoary zodiac]

Not going to be much of an upgrade

[frosty sinew]

also i only have an 850w psu so if i dont have to updrage that thats preferable

[hoary zodiac]

You'll probably be wasting money for a couple percent

[frosty sinew]

6800xt is like 50% faster fro mwhat ive seen

yeah 35-50% faster fepenfing on game

[hoary zodiac]

For $400

For a gpu that's 2 generations old

[frosty sinew]

true

[hoary zodiac]

I'd look for a refurb

[frosty sinew]

i jsut didnt rlly know what compares to it now

[hoary zodiac]

Try 6950XT

You might be able to find a decent refurb

[frosty sinew]

all over like 700usd

https://www.newegg.ca/xfx-speedster-merc-319-rx-695xatbd9-radeon-rx-6950-xt-16gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/27N-0002-00172T this is the onyl one i found but its gojne

[hoary zodiac]

Wtf

That's like 500 usd

For a refurb

[elfin mural]

isn't a 9070 around the same price

[frosty sinew]

yeap

[hoary zodiac]

At that point I'd just go used

[frosty sinew]

9070xt is 1000cad

[elfin mural]

oof

[hoary zodiac]

These prices are stupid

How much is a 7800XT?

Or a 7900GRE?

Refurb and used

[frosty sinew]

650 for a 7800xt used
