[wary fjord]

world smalles laptop xD

[idle nexus]

9080xt v good. Almost as good as 9090xt

[dense locust]

My 9100xt begs to differ

[idle nexus]

FINE I'll watch it YT where the ads are blocked then

jeez I'd break that in like 3 weeks somehow

this bridge is kinda strange looking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgjQy6kKjpY

[wary fjord]

u gonna delid put aio on it and put tubes all over it xD

then when you are done u gonna put it on a drawer

[idle nexus]

ah heck you know me too well

lmao

[idle nexus]

nooo I'll run benchmarks for hwbot then put it in a drawer lol

[wary fjord]

yeah xD

then when you are bored years later

u gonna do it again

[icy ore]

[idle nexus]

only if I don't break it

watching Paul's Hardware rn... bro how did Intel fall so hard?

[wary fjord]

"its fine" syndrome

it manifest back then but now its severe

https://tenor.com/view/april-fools-joke-dog-its-fine-this-is-not-gif-16757454

[idle nexus]

it's just crazy to see

[wary fjord]

gg on servers too

like literally this is like 8 days ago

they have to match amd prices on server lol xD

because intel now has double power / less perf / double the price

[idle nexus]

and you need a new motherboard lol

[misty sparrow]

reminds me of this tbh

[rancid juniper]

I wonder if it's the reverse for intel

[wary fjord]

maybe xD

im still at rdna1 i havent tried newest amd yet

are they good?

[misty sparrow]

Intel is probably Patrick on both

[idle nexus]

couldn't tell ya. I'm still on HD7970

[rancid juniper]

I'd say wait for UDNA 1 for insane uplifts

[wary fjord]

ooo

[rancid juniper]

Unless you can find an RDNA4 GPU for less

[wary fjord]

insane price too

[rancid juniper]

Lol true

[wary fjord]

intel need a lisa su type of turn table event

[idle nexus]

lol except if Intel bet the company on the success of a new product, they'd probably lose the company

[wary fjord]

194 p core / 7ghz / 130w tdp

can amd buy intel

amd worth 291.06 billion
intel worth 89.03 billion

omg

amd can buy two intel

xD

[idle nexus]

I dunno if that merger would get approved

[wary fjord]

wait it can buy 3 intel

[idle nexus]

together they represent what? like the entire CPU industry? except like Qualcomm or something

[wary fjord]

the highest intel stocks ever got is 65

highest on amd is 202

deym

[dense locust]

Worth doesn’t equal cash on hand

[wary fjord]

apple worth 3.12 trillion

the hell

[dusk knot]

This should give me that .12

[idle nexus]

I'll settle for .02

[wary fjord]

nvm nvidia worth 4.37 trillion 😎

[dusk knot]

.02 yes

[idle nexus]

$4.37 trillion??

can they stop this nonsense & just spin off GeForce

[wary fjord]

they can use it as colateral xD or borrow money

its kinda is xD

[dusk knot]

NgreedAi

[wary fjord]

they just go to the bank

[dusk knot]

Winning

[wary fjord]

show their worth

and get milion out

[dense locust]

Ah yes The all risk method

[wary fjord]

again and again

[idle nexus]

damn. max VDDIO on AM5 is 1.6? spicy

[wary fjord]

that is smart

[idle nexus]

lmao wow

[wary fjord]

they already have no money

buying that ai gpus

so they gonna use it

to borrow more money

[idle nexus]

this is starting to feel like selling securities backed by subprime mortgages 🤨

[hoary zodiac]

Bubble?

[idle nexus]

it is a cycle ig

boom, bust, boom, bust, heck it right?

kinda looks like it's the memory equivalent of a window AC to me dunno why

[dense locust]

I thought since the mining craze ended gpus stopped generating money
Guess I was wrong

[wary fjord]

thats the ram thingy?

[near barn]

hi

[near barn]

w pc

[idle nexus]

ya it's a fan for memory

[wary fjord]

if you put a uv light inside of that.. thats gonna attract mosquito

[idle nexus]

https://www.amazon.com/JAGTRADE-Heatsink-Performances-Stability-120x62x28mm/dp/B0CS5X2GPJ?

[wary fjord]

hehe

then put a zappy on the mesh

[idle nexus]

lol this is a great idea

[idle nexus]

heck wish I could take credit for it

[near barn]

🙁

its sad but kk

[idle nexus]

eh I prefer to watercool RAM anyway

[wary fjord]

how

dont they have 12 chips

on front and back

just big plate on it?

[idle nexus]

waterblock+modules?

it's kinda half assed come to think of it but it works

[wary fjord]

does it oc better when its cooled?

it behave like cpu and gpu does?

or just good for temp

need x3d threadripper

[hoary zodiac]

8000 CL36 or something like that?

[idle nexus]

it helps with OC a little. More like it helps with stability when OCed

if the RAM will run like 8533 at 1.6 VDD/Q, it'll POST whether it's actively cooled or not

[hoary zodiac]

That's just single core tho

[idle nexus]

but if it's not cooled, it'll heat up quicker & gets increasingly unstable

[hoary zodiac]

The threadripper will probably shred the 9950X3D in multi thread

[idle nexus]

ya but not in gaming

I watched GN review already lol

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

Who buys a threadripper for gaming

[wary fjord]

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE1ueYjPCOQ

its nice

[idle nexus]

heck I can't get 7600+ to POST with DR

I wonder which CPU will actually run these then https://www.newegg.com/p/0RN-00MB-000S7

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe 385k whenever that comes out

[idle nexus]

assuming it does at this point

do other AM5 boards do this thing where you can't set VDDIO to auto?

[tranquil pebble]

wrong. Intel will catch up if it hasn't already.

Threadripper tends to be more powerful per dollar though

[sinful blade]

I locked both my keys in my car

I love today

[dense locust]

What’s intel’s equivalent even called

Never heard of it

[tranquil pebble]

Xeon W

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[tranquil pebble]

but yes Threadripper has been trading some nasty blows with it for several gens now

[hoary zodiac]

is it more powerful for dollars tho

At least for their core consumer base

[frigid stag]

Are they at least comparing it to xeon CPU’s

Hardware unboxed just compares it to 285k

[tranquil pebble]

Threadripper vs Xeon at a given price point tends to have the Threadripper on top

last I checked

[hoary zodiac]

But as an enterprise consumer

Would it actually be cheaper

I feel like intel's going to be able to leverage their presence in that market better than AMD

[tranquil pebble]

well AMD has taken some market share over time from Intel in enterprise

[hoary zodiac]

That's intel's real cash cow

I wonder what would happen if AMD starts penetrating that market as well

If they even do

Feels like that's the one market where Intel wouldn't mess around in

[wary fjord]

i found a new term today

vibe coding

xD

[proud jackal]

[wary fjord]

where people use ai to code on production apps

sounds scary

[hoary zodiac]

It's scary for the people using the apps

Vibe coders probably added the stupid app feature on discord

Death to vibe coders

[frigid stag]

Who hires these people, this ui is trash

🏴‍☠️ sites have better ui than yt

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

Always have

[frigid stag]

[misty sparrow]

Genuinely what was wrong with the old UI

[frigid stag]

They had to do something to keep their jobs I guess, need to change things

[misty sparrow]

Crazy how big tech companies are changing things in their products for absolutely no reason, angering everybody but won’t add features people have been asking for

[frigid stag]

Discord does it too just less, it’s more like rounded corners and bs like that

[misty sparrow]

At least it’s not like an iOS 6 to iOS 7 thing

where they basically changed the entire design

[frigid stag]

I like ios 7

[misty sparrow]

well good for you because we’re still using the iOS 7 design

[frigid stag]

Wait till liquid glass

Also true

Ig it came out on chrome so far

[nocturne flicker]

Makes sense, Google owns Youtube so updates for Youtube on Google's browser gets pushed first

[fresh timber]

Hi

[pliant berry]

honestly youtubes old ui is pretty intrusive. always was bothered by it. there are other sites that did it a lot better

[fresh timber]

What YouTube do wrong

Kek

[pliant berry]

apparently spotify is trying to pull the age verification card now

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah you know what happens when a UI works

They start messing around with it

Look at discord

[pliant berry]

well more so im saying I never liked the youtube ui. never really found it appealing. discord though is excellent example of making ui worse and adding too many useless features

[nocturne flicker]

If I can't connect to my bluetooth toaster via Discord and command it to toast me a bagel so that it is lightly browned on the outside, garbage app 0/10

[arctic lily]

I was scrolling up #build-pics and wondering why someone said a 13900ks was the fastest cpu, and then I saw it was from 2023💀 how’s it so easy to find old stuff in there

[pliant berry]

it's a lot of work to take a build pic

[misty sparrow]

Age verification to listen to music 💀

There’s no social messaging feature on the service

[fresh timber]

Some is 18+

makes sense

[idle nexus]

but think of the Children!

[misty sparrow]

The children can go to hell

It's the parent's fault anyway

[idle nexus]

I'm gonna stop before this gets political

but I could not agree with you more

[misty sparrow]

wait, there's politics involved?

[lone mango]

Its not hard for npcs to log into the router and set a filter, or even on phones

Stupid ass normie parents

[idle nexus]

stuff like this is brought to you by the same people convincing Visa & Mastercard to become a defacto regulatory body

[misty sparrow]

I find it funny how multiple governments assign maturity ratings to games to help parents buy games suitable for their children, and they are still complaining that the games are too explicit

[lone mango]

I see this brought up a lot recently but the people that say it are right

Censorship does not stop at what you dont like

[idle nexus]

exactly

[lone mango]

It is never enough for them, just like data collection

[idle nexus]

either everything is 100% okay or nothing is

[frigid stag]

[misty sparrow]

The ID collection/face collection thing that many of these companies are doing to verify people's ages are pretty sketchy

These companies get data breaches constantly

Why would I trust them with my ID

[idle nexus]

& why not? because ultimately if there is censorship, then that means there will be censors.

[lone mango]

Now I do like the corn stuff getting nuked, but the issue is how they are going about it. Because of how it went, they will be able to do whatever they want now, so even stuff you like will now get nuked just like the corn games/sites

[lone mango]

Yeah they dont really care

[idle nexus]

meaning someone or a group of people will become the arbiters of truth, what's offensive, etc.

[frigid stag]

yt want to do age verification in america too

[misty sparrow]

The funniest thing about all of this is that VPN searches and users probably tripled

[lone mango]

I need to post my edits before this happens

[misty sparrow]

It happened in the UK

[frigid stag]

“ai verification”

[lone mango]

[tropic girder]

Hello everyone.

I have a question maybe someone can tell me. I'm from Romania and i will like to buy from Newegg.

I wonder if I can somehow order and recive the packages.

I saw International shipping, but Romania isn't on the list.

[fresh timber]

im hungry

@idle nexus whats for dinner

[upper rain]

1000 beers

[fresh timber]

1000 beers

root beer right

[fresh timber]

ru on terraria

[rigid sinew]

hey there, if the country purchasing from is not available on the newegg.com flag section, then we do not offer purchasing or shipping of products.

[upper rain]

no

not right now anyway

[fresh timber]

why not

[pliant berry]

Yeah that’s the stupidest thing Ive heard from this whole age verification debate yet

[wary fjord]

hmm because gullible people exist

easy to influence

monkey see monkey do xD

[fresh timber]

look up

[idle nexus]

spaghetti. It was eh

[fresh timber]

who made it

[wary fjord]

nath is carrying the whole boost xD

salute ❤️

[idle nexus]

to clarify, everything legal is okay

[idle nexus]

some crappy Italian place kinda nearby

[fresh timber]

wow

did mini good enjoy it

[wary fjord]

bad spaget?

[idle nexus]

mediocre

[wary fjord]

is the spaget white with white sauce?

[idle nexus]

it was with tomato sauce

[wary fjord]

hmm with meatballs?

[idle nexus]

yes

in fact the spaghetti itself wasn't that bad

it's those mass produced meatballs I didn't like

[wary fjord]

how they mess that up xD or is just u not craving for it xD

[idle nexus]

I dunno they just have an after taste to them

plus I kinda developed a mistrust for them

[wary fjord]

probably frozen meatballs. cooked by chief mike

mike = microwave

[idle nexus]

since at least twice there was a tiny bone fragment in it that likely cost me some enamel

[wary fjord]

deym

when u eating soft food then u hear a crunch

[idle nexus]

I suspect Chef Mike was involved

& feel it lol

[fresh timber]

i think ggood is a chef

good

make me a pizza

[idle nexus]

nah I suck tbh

I can kinda grill burgers

that's about it

[wary fjord]

yeah chief mike is the employee of the month

[idle nexus]

cooking for yourself is the best. it just time-consuming lol

[wary fjord]

meatballs only taste good when fresh.. they are bland and gross when u heat them up xD

[wary fjord]

save u food & money but takes your time

choose ur pill

[sinful blade]

I can give you meal ideas that work with a few items to spice it up

Do you eat spaghetti

[idle nexus]

Wait, what??

[sinful blade]

Or velveeta?

[idle nexus]

this is still getting updates?

maybe it's a sysinfo thing...

[idle nexus]

I put Tony Chachere's. It helps when you don't love food. You put that stuff in there & it just tastes like Tony Chachere's

[sinful blade]

Oh I didn’t mean that

That’s just an “all-seasoning” lmao

[misty sparrow]

did you mean stuff like cumin, thyme, olive oil?

[sinful blade]

No

Like just simple but complete overhauls of the taste; just by another ingredient/way to make

[misty sparrow]

oh, like taking a can of soup and turning the soup into a popsicle

[idle nexus]

lol this basically makes whatever you're eating taste the same with varying levels of texture, etc.

[lone mango]

I slept on the jedi games because of the pc ports

[sinful blade]

Coming from a poor family, I learned a lot of different ways to make basic dishes

[lone mango]

They are actually nice on ps5

[sinful blade]

Yes, but that’s gross

[wary fjord]

soup and popsicle in the same sentence

🙁

[sinful blade]

Have any of you watched icarly?
Like Spencer and his spaghetti tacos type of thing

[idle nexus]

I need to stop getting GPU supports

[lone mango]

Yeah when I move out ima be eating super simple boy dinners

[misty sparrow]

yes

[wary fjord]

no

[sinful blade]

Do you want some suggestions

[lone mango]

Not so long ago I literally had ground beef and rice

[idle nexus]

that's disgusting lmao

[lone mango]

Actual boy dinner

[sinful blade]

I’d time you out for this so fast

[misty sparrow]

to be fair new england clam chowder is probably not a good option for a popsicle

[lone mango]

Incredible

[misty sparrow]

maybe like a tomato soup popsicle

that would be cool

[sinful blade]

@lone mango do you eat spaghetti
Or velveeta shells and cheese

[idle nexus]

velveeta cheese is mysterious

[sinful blade]

This is true

[lone mango]

Check out this horse feed

[lone mango]

Not really

No

[wary fjord]

theres horse on it?

[idle nexus]

from Ikea?

is that hummus? hummus kinda fire ngl

[lone mango]

No its a joke about food that looks like horse feed

[lone mango]

yos

My mom went overboard though

The usual

Bought one tub that size and then bought another one that size

and then got two smaller short tubs

I gotta get out of here man

its like this with everything

[idle nexus]

lol umm cancel your Costco membership or something?

[atomic current]

I'm so hungry I could...

[lone mango]

Lol it is not mine

She will bankrupt herself one day

Actually she is already in credit card debt

[idle nexus]

well at least she's keeping you well fed

[atomic current]

Don't you love it when people buy outsized quantities of food for a single household that will rot before being consumed

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

I was so hungry I could eat organic matter... and so I did

[lone mango]

Some food got thrown away not too long ago

[atomic current]

There's so much food waste because of my parents

[lone mango]

Actually not some

It was a lot

It was a few pounds of kebab

Could last a week probably. Maybe it weighed even more. idk why they had the sudden urge to cook something frozen like it was going to immediately expire

[fresh timber]

@lone mango

cloudpopcycle

[lone mango]

when there were two other large portions of meat that was already cooked just prior to the kebab overload

[lone mango]

She goes to any kind of store like 3 times a week

I am surprised that more food does not get thrown away

[atomic current]

I'd go to a store almost every day if I could walk or bike there quickly, I just wouldn't buy so much perishable stuff that I couldn't eat in the day

Or within the week at least

[nocturne flicker]

Hell yeah brother join the club

The club of Dudes with Mothers that Recklessly Spend

[nocturne flicker]

Also this club

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

My mother bought about 40 small cans of small fish imported from Norway

3 years ago

[proud jackal]

[nocturne flicker]

They have never been touched

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

We have pancake mix that expired in 2014

Never opened

I needed aspirin one day. My mother handed me a bottle that expired in 2012

Droq used to suply me amazon game gear code for it xD u get better gear and stuff. Kinda free code if u use Amazon thingy.

Then i get bored after 3 months

[lone mango]

3 months?

Damn I didnt know it was that good

[wary fjord]

XD its afk type of game.

I use a tool to auto farm on that game

[lone mango]

[wary fjord]

Auto drop below green armor and stuff

Keep farming purple and up

[wary fjord]

Its not good xD

[wary fjord]

That pc needs a braces

Crooked fans

[fresh timber]

ok chat

i need opinions

core ultra 300 upgrade, upgrade current stuff to ddr5, or LCD Fans

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRR, more monitor

[wary fjord]

Swap monitor with those ar glasses

U can have unlimited monitor

[fresh timber]

nuh uh

im a normal monitor user

okaay or i can spend $300 on a headset

[wary fjord]

Just buy then all do credit

[idle nexus]

core ultra 300 upgrade would require DDR5

plus motherboard

definitely most expensive

[fresh timber]

excatly

platform upgrade would be the most expensiev

[idle nexus]

seems like a big investment with low ROI

[fresh timber]

ROI?

return on investment?

[idle nexus]

yes lol

[opaque sedge]

PCs have roi?

[idle nexus]

you get a marginally better or maybe even worse CPU; motherboard for a dead platform; & some DDR5 can likely reuse

fair

not really

I guess utility would be the better way to describe it?

[opaque sedge]

Maybe for those who can use it for work

[opaque sedge]

Hmm how abt recreation on investment

Or entertainment?

[idle nexus]

how significant of an upgrade would ultra 300 be v. what you have? feels hard to justify but also hard to quantify

maybe fps/$ might work?

[wary fjord]

Nope. Unless you are famous then you die

Your pc will be worth alot xD

[nocturne flicker]

That is why you need to put gold pc components in it

Pay 4k more for the same part so you'll have a couple hundred in gold value

RoI in 100 years when gold price finally overtakes the money you wasted

[fresh timber]

i mean a core ultra 7 would uhh, def be alot faster than a 13600kf

thats 4 gens

no 3

[frigid stag]

285k is already slower so

probably slightly faster

[upper rain]

arc in 2 days rahhhhh

[fresh timber]

285k is slowewr?

[upper rain]

at launch it was slower 😭 idk how much it has been fixed since nobody has really done a thorough re-review recently

[frigid stag]

for gaming yes

[fresh timber]

cap

i have ddr4

[frigid stag]

it loses to a 12600k in some games

[fresh timber]

yeah thats old

[fresh timber]

its bettre now

[fresh timber]

4090, thats old

gotta see one after the fixes

[frigid stag]

kinda expected with chiplets

monolithic is so much better

[upper rain]

they use an active interposer die, the chiplet performance tax should be borderline nonexistant. bigger issue is they borrowed a lot of design work from MTL, which is just fundamentally broken, particularly in latencies

[frigid stag]

“but muh scaling” no gamer or even most prosumers care about that, make separate cpus for productivity or bring back hedt

[upper rain]

MTL was supposed to set the groundwork for their tile CPUs going forward, and it was so ass it got clapped by alderlake in everything except like ultra low power efficiency 💀

[rancid juniper]

Intel straight up became this decade's FX

[frigid stag]

little known fact (at least so far ive seen) about amd cpus, they cant run 8000hz well

[nocturne flicker]

Where is my FX 9590 equivalent

[frigid stag]

if u use that polling rate

[nocturne flicker]

I want a stinky 8 core cpu with a 220w tdp

[fresh timber]

i want a 9950x3d on a z890

😉

[upper rain]

i kinda believe it. it's not exactly the same but it's similar. FX debuted with a fundamentally broken architecture that AMD tried to patch together for a few gens before doing a full redesign. Intel is now patching together failed MTL designs. we'll see if they can actually fix it or if we need to wait for a full redesign again. except Gelsinger axed the redesign team so i guess they better start praying

[frigid stag]

i wouldnt be surprised by core ultra though its like more than 2x memory latency too

laggy cpu design

[fresh timber]

lord frogger, i had a single meal of like 7 small chicken wings, that all i ate today, do i eat more or starve for the rest of the day

[atomic current]

i know im not obease

[fresh timber]

im more ofa, skinny guy with a lil tummy

[frigid stag]

just release ddr6 cl100 and they might crack 150 nano seconds

[upper rain]

tbh eat food if you aren't a fatty, food keeps you running

have something healthy tho

[fresh timber]

ur funny

ill eat ice cream till im full

[rancid juniper]

Sounds like something a fat guy would do

[upper rain]

so this was a lie

[nocturne flicker]

You should be eating regardless of weight. The question of what you eat and how much changes with where your health is

[upper rain]

i can't judge, i bought a cake today lol

[proud jackal]

im fat

[fresh timber]

idk why i wa nt a new cpu i just wanna play with new stuff

[upper rain]

he already ate, if ur a fatty you have to keep the calories down. i stuck to 1 meal daily when i was cutting back and it worked wonders

[fresh timber]

even 180fps feels super smooth to me

[rancid juniper]

I better not see you on the latest episode of "my 1000lb life"

[upper rain]

we already know you're a moderator theo, don't need to tell us

[fresh timber]

lmfao

[proud jackal]

[fresh timber]

i eat evryday, but im trying not to eat alot

[upper rain]

real and true

[fresh timber]

most fatty fat i do is eating an entire pizza every week

[rancid juniper]

Don't feed into the stereotype, overcome it

[upper rain]

true!

[fresh timber]

i thought eating a whole pizza was normal

[upper rain]

tbf you can fix that one with a better GPU

[fresh timber]

i was on bros setup confused on why he has so much input latency and choppyness... nah bro that just his monitor

[fresh timber]

i dont thik hes getting one anytime soon

we thought his gpu died frm his psu

luckily he needed a new psu

7 small wings is not an appropriate meal for your daily intake of food and starving is not a healthy means of weight loss. You still need to meet your nutritional requirements. By eating healthy and in appropriate portion sizes you can lose weight. And you won't have the hunger pains caused by long stretches of fasting that is partially responsible for binge behavior

[wary fjord]

Hmm i just take multivitamins and call it a day

[lone mango]

Eat a smaller meal that will fill you more than wing slop

[wary fjord]

I dont think i can afford to get all daily in cooked food form

[lone mango]

Not good to eat once a day

You will be hungry the next day and probably eat a lot in one sitting

And if you do that a lot over time, then your body will store what you ate as more fat beacuse it wont know the next time it will get food

Go cucumber max

[wary fjord]

Ooooo i dint know that.. 🤔 so dont eat at all so no fat stored

[fresh timber]

SHUT

[lone mango]

Just dont eat a large meal once a day

[fresh timber]

I didnt ask what to eat

I SAID

DO I EAT MORE

grrrr

i bite

[lone mango]

???

[wary fjord]

😂 ngl I've been eating 1 time only and its 6am then thats it

[nocturne flicker]

Have a nice salad or something

Go light on the dressing

Eat good food in appropriate amounts regularly

[arctic lily]

it’s 9 o’clock and it’s 90 degrees

You and wife

[elfin mural]

im late to this but there's now a 2kg pure gold gpu on earth. the whole shroud's made of gold so you will definitely make that money back later, eventually

[dense locust]

Either my drive is dead or it’s so corrupt windows doesn’t want to live anymore

[elfin mural]

oooorrr

it can be windows itself that's corrupted

[dense locust]

dunno

it doesnt even want to repair using a usb drive

guess im buying a new drive

[elfin mural]

dont repair it

just reinstall lol

[dense locust]

but my files

[elfin mural]

uh, back it up somewhere

[dense locust]

i mean i didnt back up but that was supposed to be a future me problem

[dense locust]

so youre saying

[elfin mural]

sadge

[dense locust]

i need some sort of drive

[elfin mural]

if windows won't even boot you might have to plug the drive into another system

and pull data from it

[dense locust]

how does one plug in a sata drive onto another pc

i mean i have my laptop

[elfin mural]

you can get an enclosure or smth

[dense locust]

it only has 512gb of space tho

guess ill use this install of linux i have for now

gotta unplug my windows drive tho

otherwise it will still try to boot into it

or maybe

i can change boot order

[nocturne flicker]

It is 5kg of 24k gold, is a one of a kind display piece that'll never be used and is made of over 500k of gold. If it ever sold to an individual it'd probably be sold for a couple multiples of 500k

[elfin mural]

yeah

if you use it that gold will melt lmao

too much heat

[dense locust]

Ok I have no idea how to view windows files inside of Linux

[elfin mural]

hm

i guess you gotta make ntfs work somehow

[nocturne flicker]

Gold melts at way too high a melting point. It will however become dented or bent very very very easily

[elfin mural]

i see

[nocturne flicker]

Bars and rods of 24k gold can be hand bent

You need to mount the drive

I'll mount your drive and label it Drive A

we might be cooked soon

not that im not an adult, but yeesh

[nocturne flicker]

Wait

Uh

[lone mango]

Windows mounts things automatically but linux is more conservative with doing things and requires more user input, most reasons are security or stability

[nocturne flicker]

I'm going to go to bed before my unintended jokes spiral more

[lone mango]

Good thing lineageOS exists

[dense locust]

ok

i mounted it

took me 20 min

[lone mango]

But yeah they gonna do the same thing with youtube comments

[dense locust]

i hate linux

[lone mango]

Just click on the drive and type your password lol

[dense locust]

it was not that easy

i had to use the terminal

[lone mango]

Why? what are you using

[dense locust]

dunno

just didnt work until i followed this guide

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/452689/unable-to-mount-571-gb-volume

hey it worked

so... yay?

now i gotta find out why my other drive isnt mounted

[lone mango]

It owuld be quicker to ask us for help

[lone mango]

Each partition must be mounted

Like individually

So you mounted C lets assume, now you mount D

[dense locust]

The drive still works so odd windows just died

[lone mango]

Nice

Could windows at least boot

[dense locust]

only troubleshoot

[wary fjord]

Do they gonna get all your browser history.. and how you ✍️ write a response on social media and emails.. all your social info .. then the algorithm will tell if you are old enough?

[lone mango]

They want to do the same thing for youtube, where the algo reads your comments and will guess what your age is

[upper rain]

Arc arriving tomorrow

[lone mango]

Tubers should now let the nsfw bots go rampant as a protest

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

yes

i bet it'll be the case

[wary fjord]

there some people that doesnt act accourding to their age lol

how they gonna verify that

hahaha

[lone mango]

People have been to complacent for anything to compete with yt

This is one of those "you deserve what you tolerate" moments

People kept using youtube and not looking for/supporting alternatives, and things like this happen

And the bots

And the pointless changes to ui and community guidelines

I think I made an odyssee account but nobody cares about it

[wary fjord]

ui is always debatable xD its a known fact humans hate visual changes

hahah

all the ui stuff will grow

why fix something that aint broken right? xd

haha

[wary fjord]

does youtube have alternative that pays also

[lone mango]

I never looked into anything but it is quite easy to upload to odyssee without any additional effort

They probably do pay you

You can link your youtube account and it will upload to both sites for you

https://help.odysee.tv/category-monetization/

Interesting

@lone mango when u watch a vid on this site

[fresh timber]

Today or Tommrow

It’s late

[fresh timber]

I don’t understand how they count YouTube as a social media

I can’t go around messaging people

This ain’t Twitter bud

[lone mango]

I like how it looks

It still looks different

But it is very small

This only has 350 views and was the fitst video that popped up

[lone mango]

Nowadays its kinda is tbh

Pinning comments, marketing, community posts and updates

[fresh timber]

Can you send messages

[fresh timber]

Diffrence is, you can’t go ahead messaging people, you can’t do the same things you do on discord, X, Snapchat, etc

It’s the same but not the same

[lone mango]

But that is how it is still classified as such

Just because you cant dm doesn’t mean it is not social media

Its not completely social media because it is still a video sharing platform more than it is social media, but it has enough social media elements to still be classified as social media

So I guess

Video sharing social media platform

[fresh timber]

i still dont htink it should be ropped into stuff like instagram

i recall youtube has rules

instagram doesnt

guys

I was reinstalling windows 11 and it said that windows 11 cant be installed into this drive due to bitlocker or smth I quit the setup went into bios and now I cant boot into windows

the boot option is gone

with do I do now

[opaque sedge]

Oh like dead celebrities and their cats

cars*

[surreal kernel]

anyone

is my build bricked bro?

can anyone help 🙂

please

[opaque sedge]

I dont think ur build can even possibly exist without a time machine

[surreal kernel]

what

[opaque sedge]

Ur name

[surreal kernel]

Man

[opaque sedge]

Rtx6090

[surreal kernel]

just help me i think my stuff bricked

😭😭😭

[opaque sedge]

Hmm i’m not too knowledgeable but u can shoot ur questions in #building-and-recc-chat

[surreal kernel]

I think I bricked my shit

[surreal kernel]

nvm I fixed it

I didnt delete my usb second partition tho

[opaque sedge]

Oh windows installation

[surreal kernel]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

Lmao

[surreal kernel]

should I?

its 124 gigs

I think the iso file took up 40

the other partition was 80 or smth

[opaque sedge]

I think u need a clean usb drive and 16 gigs should suffice iirc

[surreal kernel]

those 2 last ones

[surreal kernel]

it was clean but for some reason the media creation tool split it into 2 partitions

anyways we're in now

[opaque sedge]

Oh nice aoc is it their mini led monitor?

[surreal kernel]

I use this one for gaming hasn't been a since since I got it

I think theeee

qait

24gxe

something

ive got another one for media

unplugged it so it wouldn't cause any issues during installation and whatnot

[opaque sedge]

Ah icic aoc is apparently pulling out big guns with their monitors apparently

[surreal kernel]

1080 p 180 hz ips for 100

shipping included

had cash laying around thought why not

considering ive been on 60 my whole life

[opaque sedge]

Niceee grats dude

[craggy shoal]

Man 1080p monitors are cheap now

We'll probably never have a dominate resolution that's above 1080p atp lmao

(Talking about Steam hardware surveys)

[pliant berry]

I think it will eventually move to 1440p. you can get good 1440p 140hz monitors for less than 200usd and 1080p is becoming a bit of a dead space now. not many new monitors coming out there

[craggy shoal]

1080p is what's holding us up from moving on from 8GB GPUs imo

[pliant berry]

ehh, 8gb is still just fine for 1440p gaming. really only becomes a necessity at 4k imo

[craggy shoal]

Definitely depends on the game though when you hit 1440p

[pliant berry]

yeah it can depend on the game, though a lot of the exceptions also come down to poor optimization

[craggy shoal]

Exactly

[pliant berry]

can't say I've really been limited by vram in any of the games i've played recently so far

[surreal kernel]

thank you

ill probably end up selling both of them

[craggy shoal]

I can actually play Minecraft (with shaders) on my laptop's 4070 (8GB btw). 2560x1600 screen

[surreal kernel]

and get a 2k high refreshrate monitor

I cant run dual monitor setups

thought I could

[craggy shoal]

1080p = 2K btw

[surreal kernel]

what

1440p 2k

isnt it

[craggy shoal]

The 'K' measurement is a horizontal measurement. Typically when you say "1080p," you mean 1920x1080. The "1920" is the "2K" part (because it's closer to 2K)

[pliant berry]

no one really agrees on that naming scheme below 4k, i'd just say 1080p or 1440p for them

[craggy shoal]

2K = 1920 horizontal, 1080p
2.5K = 2560 horizontal, 1440p
4K = 3840 horizontal, 2160p

[surreal kernel]

oh

yeah makes sense

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I learned that semi recently as well lol

[pliant berry]

and that would be why. 2.5k just sounds stupid lol

[surreal kernel]

well if i wana get a 4k one I need a better build

not sure my rx 6600 can handle it

🙂

[craggy shoal]

2.8K = 2880 horizontal (I think the vertical scale varies on that resolution)

[surreal kernel]

I was looking at the used market but prices are crazy even there too

thing is its not like I really play any other games rather than fps competitive shooters but having the occasional gow time would be nice

just not on the 1080p one

and when I go ahead and switch to the other one I have to lower the res by alot because 4k is not doable

considering my specs are horrible

[craggy shoal]

Your specs are THAT bad. There are people who are still running a 2060

[surreal kernel]

idk I have a r5 5600 and a rx 6600

[craggy shoal]

Not even that bad

[surreal kernel]

16 gigs of ram

I wanted 32 but

idk is it worth upgrading

[craggy shoal]

I upgrade your computer before you upgrade your monitor

Unless you're on something like a TN monitor. Just dump that monitor at that point lol

You don't want a nice monitor to not play any games on, if that makes sense

[pliant berry]

I would go more than 16gb if you can, it's cheap enough. some of my apps don't run anymore cuz i keep running out of ram

[craggy shoal]

16GB is for an office PC at this point lol

And then 4GB of that goes to the GPU lol

[pliant berry]

even the office pcs, almost all the ones I've seen in the past 3 or 4 years had at least 32gb of ram

[craggy shoal]

No way lol

Not in my experience

(Actually imma go take a look rn and see what we have. My guess is 16GB in the classroom PCs but who knows)

[pliant berry]

and most of those just ran pdfs or excel sheets lol

[craggy shoal]

Bruh wtf

Logging into one of the classroom PCs rn just to check the amount of memory it has 💀

8GB and it has an i7 10700

200 processes and only half the memory was taken up wtf

Somehow the mini PCs we have a whole Xeon CPU in them (nothing crazy, only a W-1250) and still only 16GB. There's also a Quadro T1000 in these things lol

[dusk knot]

Chat

1440p is the future

[craggy shoal]

Yes

4K will be the future when the Steam survey has mostly 1440p monitors (this will never happen)

[surreal kernel]

cheapest high refreshrate oled monitor out there?

[craggy shoal]

Not cheap

[surreal kernel]

I mean

200

[craggy shoal]

Like $400 on a good day

[surreal kernel]

250?

oh my

😭

[craggy shoal]

Mini LED is a really good alternative though

[surreal kernel]

talking euros btw

[surreal kernel]

what's that

[craggy shoal]

yeah probably similar numbers

[craggy shoal]

look it up idk how to explain it

[surreal kernel]

kk

[surreal kernel]

do monitor prices drop when theyr used?

[craggy shoal]

I'd imagine, yeah

[upper rain]

@fresh timber should i call out of work tomorrow to play with my arc

[surreal kernel]

ive got a 4k 60hz Samsung i bought like 3 years ago im considering selling that and also the current aoc one I use for gaming 180hz 1080p ips and getting an oled

I think I bought the Samsung for 350???

100 on the aoc one

[dusk knot]

Just save up more money..it's not unreachable for most

[surreal kernel]

I also keep seeing reviews of these offbrand cheap mice calling them good like ajaaz or attack shark

idk if they good but I wanted to purchase a glasspad a while ago from attack shark

looks reasonably priced at 50 but im concerned

[craggy shoal]

50 for a "cheap" mouse doesn't sound like it's crap tbh

[surreal kernel]

what about a glass pad

[craggy shoal]

If it advertised a bunch of features and priced at like $15, I'd be concerned

[dusk knot]

50 dollars should be good

[craggy shoal]

I'm nnot sweaty enough to use a glass mousepad

I need to get rid of my topographic deskmatt lol

[surreal kernel]

im currently using a rog scabbard i bought years ago

[surreal kernel]

I wish rog sold switches for their rog gladius origin 2

[craggy shoal]

I wanna get away from the topographic deskmatt. I feel like everybody has one

[surreal kernel]

wait i totally forgot I ordered a g pro x superlight 2 about 2 weeks aho

[craggy shoal]

[surreal kernel]

they said 1 week delivery!

costums fault

I wonder if it will ever come

oh also idk how much information yall got on iems but im looking into buying a good pair because I cant deal with my headset anymore

never been a fan of them before

only now I found out about iems

[surreal kernel]

what's that

[craggy shoal]

I still need good ear tips for my Moondrop Chu 2. I've had them for years and never used them because the stock ear tips are ass (not very flexible)

[craggy shoal]

This but bigger so it covers more of your desk

[frigid stag]

Its temu what you expect

[surreal kernel]

then what's a good pair of them?

[frigid stag]

AliExpress has some good ones

Idk probably some moon drops variation or crinacles idk much about iems but temu definitely isn’t the place for them

[surreal kernel]

isn't ali express the same thing

[frigid stag]

No

[atomic current]

Two bus rides away from industry 🔥 🔥

I could be there and back in 6 hours

Temu is like AliExpress but meant to appeal more to the north American audience. But I think less official sellers/big brands are on there compared to AliExpress

[atomic current]

Perhaps the enchiladas should go to someone closer to the enchiladas...

should I get the moondrops them
