[craggy shoal]

Good thing it was a mutual breakup tbh

Anyways I'm already starting to get over her. I'd rather not talk about that rn

[opaque sedge]

Time to play souls games now

[craggy shoal]

lmao yep

[opaque sedge]

Sekiro would be my rec

[craggy shoal]

Focusing my money onto a stage 1 tune before I get back into gaming

Also trying to find new friend groups before I start wasting my life on games for now

[frosty sinew]

I just got to uni

Its so fun

[opaque sedge]

Hmm i gotta get friends too

[frosty sinew]

LOOK AT THE CAR

[opaque sedge]

Jelly

[craggy shoal]

My job is already boring and I don't talk to anybody here lol. I need to go to car meets and maybe some other things too

Probably going to go to an Asian market kinda near me to find another Asian girl 💀

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Another…

Alright i gotta shower and bounce have class today, final class to makeup from the ones i failed

[craggy shoal]

Yeah. Finding someone else isn't my main focus, but it's hard to get away from it when most of your friends moved out of your town lol

[frosty sinew]

Im so excited

[opaque sedge]

Man wish i had the experience to go to uni after graduation

Have fun man

[frosty sinew]

I will

Hopefully with a masters in electrical engineering

Ofc got the pc set up

[arctic lily]

pc looks sick

[craggy shoal]

Lowkey kinda want a new desk

[frosty sinew]

Little sad I cant fit it on the desk but meh 2 monitors

[craggy shoal]

I'm tired of my Ikea Malm

[frosty sinew]

Im gonna get a 9070xt shipped to campus lol

Gpus in us be way cheaper

Its like 1200 in canada

Its 550 here

[arctic lily]

finally

[frosty sinew]

Like wtf

[arctic lily]

where is here

if thats a valid question

[frosty sinew]

Usa

Rochester Institute of Technology

[arctic lily]

9070xt is 550?

[frosty sinew]

Specifically

[frosty sinew]

Yeah open box one

[arctic lily]

a school?

what no way

[frosty sinew]

I tgink non open box is like 600 or smt

[arctic lily]

Dang youre right

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

Like way cheaper here

Sorry 650 and 700

But still

Thats a steal compared to canada

[arctic lily]

yeah

[frosty sinew]

Then my pc will be good lol

[craggy shoal]

Plan A: Marry gf (Task Failed)
Plan B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb5R0OJzVdA

[frosty sinew]

Plan b sounds better

[opaque sedge]

Plan C: blaze of glory

(I started playing cyberpunk again)

[misty sparrow]

Plan B sounds more exciting

[craggy shoal]

Even more fun if I find a car girl lol

Man tuning my car soon would be super nice, rather than waiting for the 60K mile service interval

bruh tire rotation and oil change? Easy. 60K miles... bruh that's gonna cost a lot 😭

Actually I can probably do like most of the 60K mile stuff, like the cabin filter replacement, tire rotation, and engine air filter. Diff service and serpentine belt, I wouldn't know how much that'll cost

[frosty sinew]

2x the financial problems

[craggy shoal]

True 💀

[arctic lily]

if you guys have a pc you're not using but can be used

i just found the best purpose for it

Bluestacks is an android emulator to play mobile games on pc but they have a feature where you can play games to earn money and it actually works

youd have to have some money to start cuz you have to play the game for a bit and buy something to get back more than what you spent

but if you just leave the game on with an autoclicker clicking something that opens and closes, the thing will think you're playing it and accredit the time

[frosty sinew]

i just use google play games beta

[arctic lily]

yeah me too for clash of clans

im just mentioning it bc it actually pays you lol

(proof and how it works)

pretty neat for people like me who cant get a job yet

[frosty sinew]

fair

[upper rain]

is this just crypto mining with extra steps?

just install totally legit emulator and leave ur oc on 24/7 don't mind the 100% fanspeed its a bug we're working on it

[arctic lily]

nah its light on the system

just have to come back every hour to change the game

then after the last hour you buy a random thing and itll send the reward to paypal which then you can send to a card

usually takes a few days

if you're really on another level youd create multiple bluestacks instances and do multiple games at once

[upper rain]

interesting

[arctic lily]

with a python script to click each part of the screen consecutively

[arctic lily]

i havent tried multiple, dunno if it works

but singular definitely works

[worthy meteor]

They offer it because they end up making money off the people that get hooked and continue to spend money on those microtransactions

It'll end whenever the people farming it for money outnumber the people who actually end up spending more money on it

[arctic lily]

Yeah

milk it while we can

[lone mango]

[upper rain]

[lone mango]

Yeah it’s what happens when you have an unstable gpu core in linux

That first race was so goofy but we need this

[rancid juniper]

absolutely

[lone mango]

The tech house or whatever it was on the second one was hard

[rancid juniper]

I was never truly interested in realism racing games but more on arcade

This hits and i hope they continue to improve from there

Same devs who made RIDE series and hot wheels unleashed

[lone mango]

Yo that third race

Man went ultra instinct

[upper rain]

trump leaks RTX 5000 Super Duper coming soon

[lone mango]

Lmaooo

[dense locust]

Nvidia should release a gpu just called “THE BLACKWELL” with absolutely no context

[heavy dew]

Someone is

DAMMIT

someone is FREAKING dying

[gleaming sedge]

Internet company's are so so greedy omg. They did a recent "upgrade" for faster internet now its slower and I don't have a static ip anymore along with going up 10 dollars a month AND if I want a static ip it's a additional 25 dollars a month. So so stupid and frankly way way to much for it to. Just wanted to port forward so I could host a minecraft server

[worthy meteor]

It's time to swap ISP

There are always good incentives to start a new contract with a new ISP

Just have to swap every few years lol

[arctic lily]

it's not as common as some of the other even lower effort ones but this one is also fairly common lol

[arctic lily]

new to my eyes anyway

its mostly been the four images and fake mr beast tweet

[gleaming sedge]

Problem is no one else work a hoot

Even their discounts are too much

[olive plaza]

Dealing with spectrum is "fun"

When we bought our house 3 years ago, there was an issue with the cable line running to the house. Took them months to fix it.

[lone mango]

Comcast fixed ours the same day I think

Or a day or two later i forgot

[olive plaza]

In the meantime I was using my phone tethered by USB to my laptop

[lone mango]

The whole gang pulled up

[lone mango]

[olive plaza]

I thought they would do that too especially when I said, ok don't bill me until it's fixed because I'm not receiving the service I'm paying to get

they had to wait on a permit I guess to do digging

or at least that's the line they fed us

[worthy meteor]

Atnt took a week before they could dig a lil trench like 5 meters from the street to the house to start service for us lol

[lone mango]

Oh that’s why it was so fast for me

No digging

They just lined it up to the house

[icy ore]

atnt trash

[misty sparrow]

I think comcast is worse

they’re a part of xfinity right? if so then they are terrible

[nocturne flicker]

Xfinity is owned by Comcast

Used to be Comcast Cable, they rebranded to Xfinity in 2010

Razer moment

Literally the only good thing they make is mice

everything else is crap

[misty sparrow]

No

Oh god no

[hoary zodiac]

hey

they have some good mice

it's the only real product they make

only a fraction of it is cheap crap plastic unlike their other products

which is... all of it

[misty sparrow]

Mouse button issue is crazy

That’s what I had on my old Razer mouse

[hoary zodiac]

what mouse is it?

[misty sparrow]

Basilisk X Hyperspeed

It was four years old at the time

[hoary zodiac]

💀

why does it cost so much

it looks like a g402

[hoary zodiac]

ok to be fair

that could've easily been wear

[misty sparrow]

Never had this problem with any other mouse though

So I threw it away

[hoary zodiac]

eh

On one hand

sample bias

one the other

[misty sparrow]

I got myself a better mouse that’s much cheaper anyway

[hoary zodiac]

I would not be surprised at all if the mouse is crap

[hoary zodiac]

Logitech is my go to

[misty sparrow]

I was considering one of their mice

I think it was the G502, the one that has a bunch of colors

[hoary zodiac]

eh?

[misty sparrow]

like purple, blue, black, white

[hoary zodiac]

g502 is like a decade old

[misty sparrow]

Not the 502

The G305

[hoary zodiac]

there's chinese G305 clones that's actually superior

[misty sparrow]

Yeah I know

I got myself a MCHose mouse

[hoary zodiac]

yeah those are pretty well received

[misty sparrow]

It’s really good and cheaper than the G305

[hoary zodiac]

I'm considering one

[misty sparrow]

It’s good

[hoary zodiac]

might get one if mine dies

[misty sparrow]

They’re like $30-$60

[hoary zodiac]

I already have a G305 so

Kinda only need it when my existing one dies

which...

logitechs don't die for some reason

they just don't

[misty sparrow]

Like Toyota

[hoary zodiac]

I have a productivity mouse

that thing's been around for half a decade

rubber's all roughed up

thing still works perfectly

[misty sparrow]

I had a silent Logitech mouse

It was really useful

[hoary zodiac]

I have a G305 and M720

G305 for gaming

M720 for work

mostly because I have two computers

and I don't want to swap the dongles around

[misty sparrow]

fair enough

I did hear that you can do that on Logitech dongles so that’s cool

[hoary zodiac]

the gaming mice don't have the ability to pair to multiple adapters so

that is annoying

[misty sparrow]

Probably use a different bandwidth or something for less latency

[hoary zodiac]

yeah it's annoying tbh

I'd rather have my g305 be able to pair to my work laptop as well

so I can click to switch

I can get a unifying dongle and use the M720 for gaming

[misty sparrow]

That thing could pass as a productivity mouse because it doesn’t look gaming

[hoary zodiac]

but on the other hand it's not that great of a gaming mice

I prefer the shape of the G305 as well

and it's also easier to carry around

It's really just a nice all around mouse

[royal crow]

g502 goated

i want a g502 wireless tho

[hoary zodiac]

I had a g502

it was pretty good

probably still works

g502 is like the default gaming mouse

[misty sparrow]

They pretty expensive though

[royal crow]

ik

[hoary zodiac]

oh crap

wrong mice

I meant the g402

[royal crow]

worth it to drop the wire

[misty sparrow]

what the hell is the 402

[royal crow]

love it

[hoary zodiac]

g402 is the default gaming mice

[royal crow]

my brother destroyed mine after i got my 502

[hoary zodiac]

People wouldn't shut up about this mouse in the 2000s

how old is this design

2014

god damn

[hoary zodiac]

how is the 502 compared to the 402

[royal crow]

i like the hyperscroll the best, i dont use the extra buttons much tho

[hoary zodiac]

ah yes

the memes

[royal crow]

thumb button is goated tho

[misty sparrow]

How the hell is it still $70 for a wired mouse

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dap5lEuS5uM

[royal crow]

fym mine was 40

[hoary zodiac]

Logitech thinks they can charge 70

I want a mouse with a lot of side buttons

they're not cheap tho

[misty sparrow]

how many side buttons

[hoary zodiac]

uh

as many as possible

[misty sparrow]

like ten?

[gleaming sedge]

oh lovely i need to pay 25 dollars a month if i want to use my plex server when not at home

[hoary zodiac]

the american dream

[icy obsidian]

isnt there a razer mouse with like a 3x3 grid on the side

[misty sparrow]

This is the stereotype British people think of Americans

[hoary zodiac]

overpriced

[misty sparrow]

yes and it’s funny to look at

[gleaming sedge]

razer naga and naga pro

[icy obsidian]

hmm. custom mouse time?

[craggy shoal]

Razer yo mamma elite or something

[hoary zodiac]

eh?

[gleaming sedge]

i wish i had the 3 button like the old naga had i have the wireless and 2 is not enough and i dont want 6

[hoary zodiac]

does not matter at all

it's only the buttons

[misty sparrow]

Naming scheme is terrible

One typo away and you’re screwed

[hoary zodiac]

kaga

[gleaming sedge]

yeaaa not great

[hoary zodiac]

I love Kaga

[icy obsidian]

what

[icy obsidian]

oh

[cedar compass]

[hoary zodiac]

NO

[nocturne flicker]

The American Dream is a joke

[hoary zodiac]

do not purchase

[misty sparrow]

That ram kit is ass

why is it so pricey

[hoary zodiac]

literally ANYTHING but corsair

[cedar compass]

cl28

[gleaming sedge]

american dream just means being in debt and dying by working trying to get out of debt that you always will be in

[hoary zodiac]

this is not a joke

[hoary zodiac]

corsair vengenace is the worse kit on the market

[misty sparrow]

The SSD is fine, I think I use that exact model w a heatsink but that price is ass

[hoary zodiac]

litereally even the cheapest kit is better

[icy obsidian]

why?

[cedar compass]

I don't like corsair either but people does so . I building to sell and idk why but people likes corsair

[hoary zodiac]

eh?

I don't think they care about the ram

there is no reason to get vengeance if you can quite literally get better kits for cheaper

[icy obsidian]

hmm i was planning on a buying some new parts tmrw but maybe i should avoid corsair? the link crap just seemed convenient.

[hoary zodiac]

corsair is a mixed bag

they make... some decent stuff

their psus are great

cases are decent

[cedar compass]

I don't think I can get 32gb cl28 kit and 2tb gen5 ssd for 190$ total anywhere else

[hoary zodiac]

you can get a better kit and run it at cl28

[craggy shoal]

Yo this is what I’ve been saying 😭💀

[hoary zodiac]

that's exactly why you don't get vengeance tbh

they're just worse in terms of tunability compared to every other kit

at leats on ddr5

[nocturne flicker]

The American Dream used to be a yearning for a land that should be full of opportunity for all and recognition of everyone for their capabilities and merits regardless of birth and wealth

[cedar compass]

their ddr4 kits were worse tho at least ddr5 kits usually running at xmp just alright

[misty sparrow]

I think GTA4 is a good example of how far fetched it really is now

if you take out the crime part

[hoary zodiac]

yeah but they're still by far the worse kits on the market

they work but they're still the worst

ddr4 is straight up a QA nightmare

[cedar compass]

as a person from eastern europe I can tell yeah American dream is real lol . you guys have no idea how worse world is out there

[nocturne flicker]

Then it became EvErYoNe ShOuLd HaVe ThE sOcIaL mObIlItY tO bE mIdDlE cLaSs

[hoary zodiac]

eh

I wouldn't say worse

I'd say

different issues

a lot of the american issues are...

societal issues

and uh

let's use Poland as an example

they have how should I put it

a quite unfriendly neighbour

[misty sparrow]

Germany?

Russia?

[hoary zodiac]

Russia

[misty sparrow]

Okay

[hoary zodiac]

Germany is trolling nowadays

They have some funny policy ideas

[misty sparrow]

I also heard some stuff about Bulgaria but uh

[hoary zodiac]

shutting down nuclear for coal

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I don't think you want to touch the balkans with a four foot pole

just mention the word "Serbia"

in any balkan country

and you won't have a good time

[cedar compass]

I been living in US for like 7-8 years and yeah US literally have most opportunties around world if you looking for business especially . people here complaining about taxes all day long but they never seen like 180% taxes like balcan or eastern europe countries lmao

[hoary zodiac]

The problem is more systemic

[icy obsidian]

is a saphire nitro+ 9070xt worth the extra 100 dollars over the powercolor? I could save $300 just by changing that and replacing corsair parts

[hoary zodiac]

healthcare, education, etc

[hoary zodiac]

no

send pcpp list

I bet I could save more

[icy obsidian]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bKqTkf

[misty sparrow]

Probably a good reason why half-life 2 is set there

[hoary zodiac]

I thought it was eastern europe

unfortunate list

oh well

[nocturne flicker]

I'm not looking for business. I'm looking for a steady well paying job and affordable healthcare and affordable housing

[gleaming sedge]

yep now its. oh you went to high school come from a rich family in the area and were popular heres half a million dollars for college, oh you are not popular nor come from a rich family heres 1k good luck. oh you want this job well we need 5 years of experience but you cant get that experience without the job so you are just stuck at crappy jobs

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w6B2sp

can't really fix what's already been bought so

[nocturne flicker]

Need experience to be a part time floating bank teller, literally the most entry level job at any bank

[cedar compass]

some stuff yeah it's expensive or cheaper but living quality in total you can't compare US with eastern europe , middle east or balkans maybe you can with few countries yeah like few rich eruopean countries , maybe singapore idk . but yeah for most part I personally rather be in US than anywhere else

[gleaming sedge]

yep

[hoary zodiac]

@icy obsidian

[nocturne flicker]

Is living quality good when you can barely afford to eat because rent costs 50-60% of your income

[misty sparrow]

I don’t know how New Yorkers don’t have a mental breakdown when they see stuff like that

[gleaming sedge]

im having a nearly impossilbe time getting out of part time and along with getting out of being stuck in 300 USD bi weekly

[hoary zodiac]

exactly

it's a completely different set of issues

compared to eastern europe

[cedar compass]

forget about affordable housing in any city in 2025 even in Istanbul rent prices are higher than avarage salary other EU countries are mostly same I mean rent and home prices are so cheap in my homeland currently only becasue theres war going on but that's it lol

[nocturne flicker]

Rent in rural USA is just as unaffordable as rent in our cities

[misty sparrow]

House market is apparently bad too but don’t know much about it

[hoary zodiac]

plus transport costs

[nocturne flicker]

You have to luck out on a rando offering a room for dirt cheap on Facebook marketplace

[icy obsidian]

damn thats cheap. impressive. btw whats wrong with the already bought parts? should i have gone for a b650?

[hoary zodiac]

B650 Eagle AX could handle the 9800X3D

for substantially cheaper

with almost no drawbacks

most people don't need an X670

a lot of these b650 boards have good enough vrms for top end cpus

[nocturne flicker]

Because the few apartment companies in rural USA are businesses trying to squeeze every single drop out of you and they practically have a monopoly

[misty sparrow]

Damn I forgot about this issue I had because I was talking about ‘merica

[hoary zodiac]

I live in Queensland so I pay 50 cents for public transport

[misty sparrow]

#cpus-mobo-and-memory message

[cedar compass]

the thing is my parents worked for all their life ( and actually they had good job as well ) and they almost got nothing in my homeland . I even couldn't finish my education because I had no enough money. but I was lucky I won greencard and after living in US for 5 years , I almost got everything I dreamed of . I got home ( debt ofc lmao ) got expensive car , actualy I think like I never been lived before I came here . and yeah I married recently and having baby soon maybe it looks ordinary or worse compared to other countries , but actually American dream is real for lots of people out there

[misty sparrow]

That sounds wonderful honestly

You did all of that in five years?

[cedar compass]

that feels sad lots of people have to leave their everything behind and move thousants miles away because stupid governments but there's nothing to do

[icy obsidian]

where from?

[cedar compass]

ukraine

[misty sparrow]

Oh.

[icy obsidian]

nice, my grandparents are from there

[hoary zodiac]

Oh Ukraine

Yeah the corruption there is uh

💀

[misty sparrow]

What other country is at war in Eastern Europe right now

[cedar compass]

I usually not mentioning it because I don't want to start politics talk but yeah . not only there. all post soviet countries

[hoary zodiac]

He haven't mentioned war before

[misty sparrow]

he did

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's the thing with ex-SSRs

They have a massive oligarch issue

Governments are also corrupt as hell

I thought you were talking more in line with Poland or Slovakia

But yeah 💀

[cedar compass]

like I can add armenia , azerbaijan , turkey , all balkans , belarus , asian turkish counties as well . all corrupted as hell

[hoary zodiac]

Isn't Turkmenistan practically a dictatorship

[cedar compass]

yeah . azerbaijan as well . armenia was similar till recent gov change . kazakhstan similar

[cedar compass]

they have election that leader winning with like 90% vote

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah yeah yeah that's what they said in 1938

[nocturne flicker]

Liberian elections are pretty...sus

I think there was a couple where like, 4 times the registered voters voted for the 'winner'

[hoary zodiac]

It's free and fair elections

You're free to vote for the person with the military in their pockets

[misty sparrow]

At least it’s better than North Korea’s election

[hoary zodiac]

What elections

[icy ore]

oop

[cedar compass]

I mean you actually don't need to corrupt election . they just controlling media and blocking opposion propoganda and that's it . easy way

[hoary zodiac]

Or control the military

All you need is a few men with guns

To persuade voters

[nocturne flicker]

Or you just need to dumb down the population enough with prolonged cuts to education funding

[cedar compass]

and yeah they forcing military personal and polices to vote to them so . literally lots of votes in advance lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Austerity go brrrr

[hoary zodiac]

Or control education

[cedar compass]

I mean as eastern european I bet I seen every way of corruption that you can't imagine

[misty sparrow]

Did you see the Citadel

[sinful blade]

don’t worry about the colour, they’re getting repainted if bought

didn’t you do this a while back

[sinful blade]

Yes, but two different desks

I’m indecisive as hell

[sinful blade]

Wym
I just woke from a nap

I am not awake yet

To understand

[random osprey]

[atomic current]

they're both too small to add stuff

[sinful blade]

I only need one monitor

[atomic current]

at least 1 has shelfs

[sinful blade]

The size is deliberate for my apartment to fit

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/shelf-gif-5718162394001109728

[random osprey]

2 still unless you want that top shelf for stuff

[sinful blade]

I have cats

[random osprey]

2 then

[sinful blade]

[random osprey]

cat will probably sit on the shelf on 1 and their tails will block monitor

[dusk knot]

Shelf love

[sinful blade]

This is true

I wanna get them a shelf to sit with though

Eventually

Beside me

Me no think good when nap

Is the structural design for 2 good?
Like the metal bars

I rarely see Z desks used so idk

[atomic current]

rufus finished baking one of my drives :3

[random osprey]

should be fine so long as you arent putting like 100 pounds worth of stuff on it

[misty sparrow]

I’m still on a black screen from a BIOS update lmao

It’s been three hours

[atomic current]

guh

[sinful blade]

The Behemoth will sit on the bottom side shelf

[hoary zodiac]

Server rack ❎
Server shelf ✅

[random osprey]

should be fine

[atomic current]

now I must bake another drive

[sinful blade]

Got it chief

@random osprey I got it’s disk tray working

Mostly

[random osprey]

bro can play physical disk copies of pc games 💀

[sinful blade]

This case is my pride and joy

I swear

Coolermaster made a BANGER case in 2007 and I’m living for it

Thermals are a bit lacking but good enough

Definitely holds up to wife’s View 270.

[hoary zodiac]

Still less jank than my setup

[atomic current]

puter

[sinful blade]

I’ve cleaned up the cables since

[hoary zodiac]

Three optical drives

[sinful blade]

But the inside

[atomic current]

nah that's clean

[hoary zodiac]

All scavenged from laptops

[sinful blade]

The light bars have been there since 2007

And never failed

[hoary zodiac]

$6 kmart shelf goes a long way

Racks are way overpriced imo

[atomic current]

true

[hoary zodiac]

I don't really have a 3D printer so

[atomic current]

also that's a big switch

[hoary zodiac]

I'd need to use rack shelves

Which... Might as well just use a shelf

[sinful blade]

I took out all the HDD bays
If either are wondering where TF they went on the right there

Pain in the ASS

[hoary zodiac]

I think it was like $20 AUD on ebay

It was literally cheaper than a 8 port switch I was looking at

So

Got the fat ass switch

Size comparison

Old switch vs new

[atomic current]

so big

[hoary zodiac]

Not managed but like

$20

[sinful blade]

Wild

[hoary zodiac]

It's technically still a desktop switch

[atomic current]

network noob what's a managed swithc :3

[hoary zodiac]

Just a really massive one

[hoary zodiac]

Switch but with fancy features

[atomic current]

gulp

[hoary zodiac]

Like vlan and link aggregation

I want to mess with link aggregation to see if I can double the bandwidth on my nas

[sinful blade]

Hey @hoary zodiac
I can actually say we have a channel for this

[hoary zodiac]

It probably doesn't

[hoary zodiac]

Don't care

[sinful blade]

RIP console chat

[hoary zodiac]

It's #general-chat

[sinful blade]

Yeah I wasn’t yelling at you

Just making fun of myself

[atomic current]

#general-chat for everything

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair I would've actually moved if there was another active convo

Like tech support

[atomic current]

I had to rinse tape gunk off of my io shield 💦

[hoary zodiac]

Wtf

[atomic current]

it's now drying on my fan

[hoary zodiac]

Why is tape gunk

Is it the stickers manufacturers put on io shields to make them look expensive

[atomic current]

seller taped it onto the mobo static bag

[hoary zodiac]

AliExpress moment?

[atomic current]

ebay

close enough

[hoary zodiac]

💀

[atomic current]

?

the cpu/cooler/ram come installed :3

I just have to put it inside

[hoary zodiac]

Thanks linkedin

[atomic current]

I put USB 3 in the floppy bay

And moved the DVD drive from the top to the bottom so my PSU can run to all the drives </3

[hoary zodiac]

Haswell spotted

[atomic current]

True

[hoary zodiac]

That is a clean ass case

Is it new old stock

[atomic current]

I see nexlink cases housing ivy bridge hardware on ebay as well

[hoary zodiac]

I wouldn't even buy ivy bridge these days

[atomic current]

it's used I'm betting,, has scratches on the case paint and got a little dented on the bottom but it's in okay shape

real

[hoary zodiac]

Because of how cheap Haswell/broadwell is

Ivy is just bad value really

[atomic current]

they gotta make it cheaper

[hoary zodiac]

Both desktop and HEDT

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

I'd say it's worthless

Because if you already have ddr3

You might as well use that in a haswell instead of ivy

[atomic current]

⚰️
rip ivy

[hoary zodiac]

Gonna be haswell soon

X299 probably not gonna be cheap so

X99 might stick around until ryzen gets cheaper

Or if the chinese start making skylake HEDT boards for cheap

[atomic current]

this thing came with the 350w seasonic and a 2tb hgst drive when I got it

as well as the has well stuff

[hoary zodiac]

bomb???

Is it a modern seasonic unit or

[atomic current]

old

[hoary zodiac]

Some of the older ones don't hold up as well

[atomic current]

I don't expect it to be on the new tier list

it was on the old one as probably c tier idk

[hoary zodiac]

Is it s12?

s12 is...

I wouldn't use it with modern hardware

[hoary zodiac]

boomstick

[atomic current]

yea I don't see it anywhere on the tier list

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair

You wouldn't use this with any high loads

[atomic current]

oh it's in the tier avoid on the old list now :3

[hoary zodiac]

So it's probably fine

Oh

AHAHAHHA

[atomic current]

lol

oh well we ball

[hoary zodiac]

This is why I prefer used oem pcs

Because the psus are usually solid

[atomic current]

I don't want to spend a gazillion

[hoary zodiac]

Proprietary but cheap

Cheaper than SFX

[atomic current]

at least it isn't tier f on old list

[hoary zodiac]

For sff pcs

[atomic current]

:3

yeah

worst experience I've had was my Lenovo's FSP unit

[hoary zodiac]

I buy dell

Or lenovo

Oh wait

💀

[atomic current]

gulp

[hoary zodiac]

Do I have a FSP unit?

Not sure hmm

Hopefully it can run 24/7

[atomic current]

my FSP was a sort of regular atx but with the funky 14 pin

I'm glad it died without killing my computer at least

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's the good thing about OEM prebuilts

They don't put in bombs unlike non oem prebuilts

[atomic current]

does nexlink count as oem prebuilt :3

[misty sparrow]

I’ve never been a fan of PSU Tier Lists

90% of the time my PSU or one I’m looking at isn’t on there

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/saturnoir-gif-26965938

[hoary zodiac]

That's probably because it's unreviewed

Which is not a good sign

[misty sparrow]

It would be cool if there was one constantly updated list though, not like thirty separate lists that are outdated

[atomic current]

I've been referring to the SPL list hosted by ZTT

[misty sparrow]

My PC is still on a black screen after doing a BIOS update lmao, haven’t turned it off since it happened

wonder if it’s safe to turn off

[atomic current]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if the bios update is complete, perhaps?

[misty sparrow]

I think it did

How would I know if the BIOS is corrupt or something

Oh yeah, nothing shows up on the screen

Probably not a POST problem because I don’t see any flashing lights and no sounds are made

[weak cedar]

Rip dram

[icy ore]

bruh

dang ram

[weak cedar]

First lights didn't work so playing farcry 5 it just shut down and won't start up

[icy ore]

man... that's dookie butt

sorry to hear

[dense locust]

Did you check the doc?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview

[hoary zodiac]

If it's not on there

It's probably a bomb

Or unreviewed

In which case you shouldn't buy them anyways

[dense locust]

Last update was one month exactly

How many psus come out on a monthly basis

[weak cedar]

Just 1 is bad so that's good

[hoary zodiac]

real

If it's not on there

either it's an OEM unit

or unreviewed

[dense locust]

I love proprietary psus

[atomic current]

I need to try to find a psu for a low power system

igpu, some hard drives

this seasonic will be fiiine for now :333

[royal crow]

I misread this so badly dude 💀

[dense locust]

[nocturne flicker]

[royal crow]

very

[nocturne flicker]

Proprietary sus

[royal crow]

hmmm

[rancid juniper]

hmm

dang i haven't played helldivers 2 yet

will wait for another sale ig

[misty sparrow]

never seen a doc for this before, thanks

i just fixed my PC

[fair onyx]

Corsair must be out of their damn mind

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2888302/corsair-xeneon-edge-14-5-review.html

14.5 inch 720p 32:9 little 60hz LCD monitor for $250

That's more than my solid metal 16 inch 3k, 120hz, HDR 500 AMOLED monitor

[nocturne flicker]

Metal Gear Solid Delta? Are they getting bored with the names or something and thought you know what we need? Greek symbols

Or maybe it is MGS Change because Delta is also used to represent something that changes

[rancid juniper]

👀

[nocturne flicker]

MGS Added Heat because Delta represents heat being added in chemistry

[rancid juniper]

what changed: Heavier requirements + FPS LOCK

[unreal trail]

💀

[rancid juniper]

will it be UDNA based or like RDNA 4?

[unreal trail]

its be 700 bucks

[rancid juniper]

lol at that point i might get an arm handheld instead

thats if arm ever improves on windows

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/opening-window-good-morning-anime-dawn-and-piplup-dawn-gif-2511112971497084154

pictured, arm improving on windows

[dense locust]

What’s the point of arm

Just plug in your pc bro

[atomic current]

with what?

[rancid juniper]

insane fever dream of an arm handheld having a gpu as fast as an GTX 1080 with a cpu on par with ryzen 5000 running at 10w max

[upper rain]

dream sounds right

for now at least

zen 6 LP is more promising imo

[rancid juniper]

🙏

[atomic current]

@pliant berry @proud jackal @random osprey

[pliant berry]

Ugh

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/yeizrRzLR1Q?si=G1aQips1laChLln-

[nocturne flicker]

.1% improvement is still improvement I guess

[atomic current]

no you see she is getting massive windows gains

[nocturne flicker]

But she is throwing open the windows. Wouldn't improving on windows be more aptly depicted as making a better window?

discord sux

[sinful blade]

Some people’s phone’s genuinely use those file names

[atomic current]

lol

[royal crow]

seriously?

[sinful blade]

Yep

[hoary zodiac]

I do too

More in a development sense

something something arrays

makes for easy indexing

actually tbh that's what arrays/dictionaries are for

[royal crow]

nice

[sinful blade]

Yeah, it’s a double edged sword

Easy for people like @hoary zodiac for categorization, but moderation for it is tough

[royal crow]

idea: assign an unverified role upon join, then if anyone with that role tries posting anything with the text ".jpg"".png"".webp" have arcane delete the msg

would that work?

[hoary zodiac]

wait

is that a link

what shouldn't even embed right?

[royal crow]

is what a link...

[hoary zodiac]

the images

if they're whites

they can't embed images

[royal crow]

oh yea

[hoary zodiac]

although I suppose the link is still there

[royal crow]

i thought u were talking abt my msg lol

[royal crow]

yeah, just leads to a cdn.discordapp

[hoary zodiac]

do you know what cdn stands for

[royal crow]

i do not

[atomic current]

[royal crow]

i do now

Content Delivery Netwrok

[frosty sinew]

I've been summoned

[hoary zodiac]

cdeeznuts

[royal crow]

thats on me i shoulda seen that comin for miles away

[sinful blade]

People with roles often post it, believe it or not

[royal crow]

hmm

can you set i to remove the message if its just the text

[sinful blade]

Loops back around to the issue that phones use that specific .img

[royal crow]

hang on im thinki8ng of sm

so

when i post an image, and it embeds

[sinful blade]

Yes

[royal crow]

does that send the text "image.png/.jpg/wtv"?

[sinful blade]

It initially does, then converts using discord

[royal crow]

right but the hacked messages never convert'

[sinful blade]

Every picture you send has something like this

[royal crow]

yea

[sinful blade]

Yeah, but the messages still read as “4.img” and stuff

Not allowing that, wouldn’t allow you to post the same thing if your image had the same line

[royal crow]

hm

[sinful blade]

It’s a pain in the ass

[royal crow]

would it be possible to have a bot that detects if an image that was never converted, then deletes it?

[sinful blade]

Not really

Unless it was specifically designed for that

[royal crow]

darn

or like if it doesn't embed within say 2 seconds

i bet someone could do that

complicated af tho

[sinful blade]

Yeah, to what end though

For a specific scam

[royal crow]

true

its really widespread

tho

worst one ive seen in quite some time

[sinful blade]

Were you here for the raid

[royal crow]

when was that

[sinful blade]

Few weeks ago

[royal crow]

I dont recall

oh wait someone was talking abt that

I was on a canoe trip

raid's just where a ton of accounts join and spam the server right?

[sinful blade]

It took us about an hour to contain

[royal crow]

dang tahts insane

[sinful blade]

Yeah, was bad

Hello guys.

[peak heart]

What's the future support for am5?

[hoary zodiac]

@elfin mural bot

Wait actually

Account created in 2024

[hoary zodiac]

Are you a human?

[tawny pond]

hey guys

my newegg payments wont go through

"canada

[lone mango]

lower power profile

Top of the case is still hot so I guess thats just a feature

[hoary zodiac]

Please dm @digital thunder

[tawny pond]

gotchu

[hoary zodiac]

Hmmmmmm that looks like msata

Headless backup server maybe?

There's two i5s and an i7 so

I'll probably use the i7 as a backup server and cluster the i5s

I'm tempted to get a fat usb pd brick

But the problem is

Whenever I say

Have to turn off one of the devices

USB PD will have to renegotiate the power

So if these have no battery

Kinda screwed

I need a way to power a bunch of different DC devices with one power supply

[lone mango]

@upper rain I think you were right about vram fighting with the power limit because on my 150w profile the vram is not flickering at 2800 mhz

[hoary zodiac]

Hmm

I wonder if there are dc adapters for ATX and SFX psus

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh wait

They make actual power supply for this use case

Probably can't actually use this legally tbh

[nocturne flicker]

Officially support is guaranteed to 2027, AMD will most likely be releasing new skus for it until they run out of already allocated silicon to use

[lone mango]

Yeah next gen will be the last am5 gen

Then am6 and most likely ddr6 to follow

It would be cool to see zen 7 with ddr6 because amd was late to ddr5

That might be one of the reasons why the socket is changing sooner than people expected

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder if ddr6 is actually necessary

[elfin mural]

probably and probably not

[hoary zodiac]

Can cpus even run that high frequency

[elfin mural]

the challenges of dimms will become more and more apparent

[hoary zodiac]

At least on consumer

[elfin mural]

the closer we'll need soldered solutions

even camm won't even be enough if the bandwidth is that high

[hoary zodiac]

Feels like it makes more sense on enterprise

[lone mango]

Ddr6 is using camm

[elfin mural]

yeah

there's already signs

if we keep going for more and more bandwidth

signal integrity becomes ever more important

[lone mango]

It’s the extra bandwidth

[hoary zodiac]

Oh so it's more about bandwidth than ram speed with ddr6

Makes sense

[lone mango]

Yeah it’s like double the soeed

[lone mango]

Its speed and bandwidth

[nocturne flicker]

soeed

[lone mango]

I forget exactly but it is a huge bandwidth increase

[elfin mural]

it's a game of doubling speed and increasing bandwitdh with each new DDR standard

it's more and more difficult to make the next DDR

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

Zen 5 can't even run 7000 so

At least not 1:1

[lone mango]

Hope camm lasts as long as dimms so we can delay the inevitable soldered ram

[elfin mural]

i hope so too

[lone mango]

Yeah amd has to cook something wild for ddr6

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder if ddr6 is gonna address a lot of the annoying ddr5 issues

[nocturne flicker]

I can wait for mobos to be $600 for entry level boards with 16gb of soldered DDR7 ram 😊

[elfin mural]

real

[lone mango]

Cant wait for 2 minute long mcr on next amd

[hoary zodiac]

You practically have two decorative slots for ddr5

[elfin mural]

oh god memory training

yeah i almost forgot lmao

boot time begone

[lone mango]

Bro it was one of my first thoughts

[hoary zodiac]

It's funny because I range from 1600MHz to 3200MHz

[lone mango]

My laptop bios time is like 1.5 seconds

[elfin mural]

my laptop already takes a bit to POST lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Memory training will be a full workout session with DDR7. 30 minutes and a cool down period

[elfin mural]

it's on ddr5

[lone mango]

I get into linux in like 15 seconds total

[elfin mural]

sometimes i'd have to wait a good bit

it's annoying as hell

[lone mango]

On my desktop it takes that long to just do mcr

[elfin mural]

makes me mildly freak out sometimes

but i know that the laptop is not ded

[hoary zodiac]

Can't relate

All my machines use ddr3/4

2133MHz on skylake my beloved

[lone mango]

Sometimes i miss ddr4

[hoary zodiac]

It's dirt cheap

[lone mango]

My laptop boot times are so fast

[elfin mural]

as we advance in ram tech

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

user experience is deteriorating

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[elfin mural]

we're getting server experience

lol

[hoary zodiac]

It'd be stupid if they got rid of swappable ram entirely

Would not go well with enterprise

[elfin mural]

soldered ram is inevitable tbh

more bandwidth, more speed = more sensitive

[hoary zodiac]

Is it?

[elfin mural]

yes

[hoary zodiac]

The question is

Do you need the bandwidth

[elfin mural]

probably not

but the industry always pushes for more

[lone mango]

That’s why I think memory training is gonna be so ass

[elfin mural]

more numbers

[hoary zodiac]

It's not inevitable if you don't use it

[elfin mural]

more stonks

[nocturne flicker]

The numbers

Mason

What do they mean

[hoary zodiac]

If it's a specific high bandwidth application yeah

[lone mango]

Cpu has to find the perfect resistances by the milliohm

[hoary zodiac]

But I don't see soldered ram replacing non soldered entirely

Enterprise users would probably still want that flexibility

Those guys have the biggest voice in the industry

[elfin mural]

i guess enterprise users might willingly sacrifice bandwidth and speed for flexibility

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

Do you need the bandwidth and speed

[elfin mural]

honestly no lmao

cloud solutions are already plenty fast

[hoary zodiac]

I feel like this is just another one of those "pcie 5.0 ssd go le brr"

[elfin mural]

the only thing that matters really is capacity

[hoary zodiac]

But you have no actual use

[elfin mural]

not really speed

server cpus can already have upwards of 192 cores

or more

[hoary zodiac]

I don't soldered is going to catch on

At least if we ignore laptops

[lone mango]

I saw someone mention swappable gpu memory but it is not happening

Too sensitive

[elfin mural]

yeah no

[hoary zodiac]

Stupid tbh

[elfin mural]

i mean gpu vram needs to be soldered

[hoary zodiac]

Vram is vram for a reason

[lone mango]

Even gddr7 has issues and it is soldered

[elfin mural]

or you get all kinds of nasty surprises

[hoary zodiac]

There's a reason you don't just use ddr5 as vram

[elfin mural]

in the future we might have on-package vram even

like hbm
