And we get to do it all over again 😊
if i hadnt already had the 9070 xt i woulda just scooped it up right there but I don't have need of one and reselling is a pain in the but
When I say that I'm good, it never means I'm feeling alright.
It just means that whatever is slicing me at the moment would take too long to explain to you.
Other than that, I'm great
also i mean don't gigabyte cards this gen have that thermal paste leaking issue?
full specs?
only an issue on vert mounted cards
for horizontal it's just very good tim for the vrm/vram
wooooooah what a deal a whole dollar off msrp
I've heard of Walmart deals being crazy stupid cheap sometimes
like 4TB of SSD storage for like $60 or something
its usually open box or extreme clearance in a rural area where the stock just doesnt move
they had a glitch for the 4tb sn850x recently
it was a 4tb sn850x for 150
think so
the bapcs sub was keeping an eagle eye one it
it was in and out deal for like a day
oh wow even the 16gb 5060ti is like sub 400 now
and the 9800x3d is -50 on walmart too
yeah just a few days back
there were even comments like 2 days later with restocks
I wonder if you can make subreddit posts pop up in your notifications on the mobile app
This would be useful
just in time for super refresh ig
5060 ti doesn't make sense to Super. so just drop price a smidge
Did we have one of those scammers again
yep
zoom zoom
yeah
they didn't do any supers for 30 series
skipped out on 4060 super
i reckon we may get a 5060 non ti super so that they can give it 12GB. but idk
5060 ti just needs a price drop and it's a fine product. the 16GB one anyway
my fellow americans
I read that in FDR's voice
i read it in Jordan Peele's obama impersonation voice

If it helps my upload is 3.6Mbps
I didn't win the shuffle today, how sads
what's a shuffle?

I had no idea this even existed

Looks like the creators of palworld is making a farming game
wonder how nintendo is gonna sue them
Nintendo is fuming this very moment they are gonna patent farming mechanics
With the release of GTA 6 next year (hopefully) it kinda makes sense that these consoles will see a spike in price
Doug Bowser crying "tariffs" for why Nintendo went greedstricken is garbo
GTA6 is gonna be 100 bugs for the standard edition
if tariffs were an issue you'd think they would have launched the console a year ago. it's been finished for at least that long
100 bugs... That's too low
You can tell he’s evil because his last name is Bowser
perhaps they are nice bugs. such as luna moths and monarch butterflies
this would be reasonable in my opinion
I'd like that
i would probably purchase the game so as to exchange it for moths and butterflies and the like
its actually CEO and brokers want more money
Notice that Xbox hasn't released a "pro" version of their rectangle?
Nintendo has billions in reserve, non operating funds. They literally dont even need massive profits.
Nintengreed
partnered with ngreedia
I hope their games end up getting crappier so people can wake up
but they did say shortly after the Mario movie released that they wanted to be Japanese Disney
I hate their business practices
accelerationism only works when the average person isn't a drooling idiot
It takes one to know one
it's true, i am Jensen Nvidia Huang himself
Lol
Well Intel's mobile CPUs are pretty efficient but it's still x86, Nintendo likely wants to stick with arm still
arrgh
apparently intel lobbied hard for Xbox Series consoles
i expect Nintendo stays partnered with Nvidia though. maybe AMD if their ARM project is real and going well
Efficiency had nothing to do with it. An out of date Arm model is much much cheaper
Keep in mind the Switch 2 is running 5-6 year old hardware
Ampere and a 5 year old Arm CPU
dayum
wait since its ampere that means the switch 2 is running dlss3?
crazy that the switch 2 is a super anemic rtx 2050
It is custom model, so I assume Nvidia made it so it specifically could use DLSS4
Can't have it be too obvious
it's a scaled down DLSS model since the Switch 2 SoC is too weak to accelerate proper DLSS as well as you'd like
i assume it's 4.x based, but more likely the CNN version since it's lighter to run than the transformer model
and CNN dlss 4 isn't really any better than 3.x
hey
just purchased new bluetooth earbuds they are amazing
They are JBL Vibe earbuds
sound quality is very good
I mean its no apple earbuds but its decent
for a budget option plus I like JBL lol got a charge 4 boombox
pretty dead chat
JP did it

i had some jbls but now i have hatsune miku buds
gn chat
got my A1C test back from my health insurance provider.... (I am type 1 Diabetic and they wanted to know my A1C so sent me a test kit) Got A1C of 5.2% which is pretty good as most Diabetics have like 7 percent.
Hey guys, you guys know if any good smart watch options? I'm looking for one for work. Nothing too expensive. Older gen/renewed is good to me. Not interested in any apple stuff, and I would like it to be AMOLED/OLED with good battery life
I'm ordering a Galaxy watch 5 pro, and an active watch 2. I had an active watch 2 and I loved it, but it broke. Just curious if anybody has any recommendations
ok wtf.... my second monitor bugged out for the second time today. very brief, it hasn't lasted more than a quarter second, but for that amount of time, it looks like my ram crapped itself.
specific monitor is a Viewsonic VA25465smh 60HZ 1080p. it's plugged into my 265K, and my RAM is corsair vengeance 32g DDR5-6000 CL36. any ideas as to what could be causing it?
I assume that's an older monitor. If that's the case, it could be crapping out. I had an old ViewSonic that started getting signal static/noise, and it would randomly turn into pure static for a second or two before fixing. Eventually, I had to disable all color on the monitor for it to work at all. It died shortly after
I personally use an Apple Watch (bc I have an iphone) but I've heard that the CMF watch packs a punch for the price
yeah idk how old it is but it supports VGA so that should be a good guage lol
Oh yeah, maybe. I think it's a good bit more expensive though cause it's new. I forgot about that, thanks for the suggestion!
confired
confirmed
I love mine
I think u actually reco'd it to me
Now there's also a $99 Pro 3
Yeah I think I did lol
@royal crow what's it been like?
great so far, but if you scratch it you will be aware of it for the rest of its lifetime
Oh, the pro 2 is kinda sexy
ikr
Ah, fair lmao
Does it have good battery? Is it customizable?
heart rate sensor seems like it runs low, and the exercise function can be buggy, but other than that its great
(or it could be more accurate than the treadmill lol)
I'm after good battery and solid customization, personally
it'll last half a week before getting to 50%, I've always charged it before then though
I know the active watch 2 from Samsung is really good. I loved mine for many years
Ok sick, I want several day battery. My active watch 2 lasted several days. None of this apple watch 1-2 days BS lol
as for customization u can customize the watch face and thats abt it
dang monitor did it again
Does it support apps? Or does it only work with their pre loaded apps/watch faces?
I think you might be right💀
just preloaded sadly
Ah ok, that's a deal breaker for me personally. Thanks for the info!
I have the active 2 and pro 5 coming, and they're $60 and $80 respectively
The pixel watch looks pretty nice too. Maybe I'll look into that
Pixel watch is a bit pricy for me, so maybe not
Smart pocket watches when
I'm replaying through borderlands 1 and there is a memory leak bug (has existed on the PC version forever) and I figured meh I'll ignore it I got 48GB of ram anyways
but I forgot the program was 32 bit, it hit 4GB of usage and then crashed LOL
My bad
smart monocle and tweed mustache when
and top hat
They already have.

what in the text wall was that link😂
newegg does that nonsense too
it be making me mad when I'm trying to share stuff
Just a normal Amazon link. Forgot to crop it before hitting send.
and the link is so long that it takes up 50 scrolling pages on a 4K monitor
pocket smart watch sounds very impractical tbh
Wouldn't the heartbeat sensor be totally useless?
chest pocket
just gotta put it in the right way
I turned that off. With my job it kept overheating my watch to the point it would go into cooldown mode. Since I've turned it off, it no longer overheats.
I laughed at this part in Portal 2 ngl
lol
this was based
wheatley was the best part of that game
What am I looking at
Melted?
same here
Take (probably not a hot one): 120mm AIOs have always been pointless
pretty lukewarm take
i agree
if it isnt intentional, idk what is it then
hp
never trust hp
i mean even samsung messed up once
with ssds killing themselves prematurely
Hinge Problem
Everyone I know, myself included, that is into tech knows that HP is not known to be a quality brand lol.
laptop makers never learn
they rely on flimsy plastics to adhere hinges
and expect them to not snap
HP workstation is pretty solid
almost all laptops have weak hinges
with a few with good implementations
or a simple hack, screws and metal body
lenovo is known to glue hinges onto metal body however
bruh
Can attest to most modern laptop designs having really bad hinge implementation
my surfacebook3 has a pretty impressive hinge design. The rest of it is horrible tho. Freaking volcano
I sure do miss undervolting. THANKS PLUNDERVOLT
My whole family uses HP laptops except for my mother in law, who has a Dell Precision I picked up super-cheap used off Marketplace about 3 years ago:
- My laptop is a super cheap HP refurb that I picked up below 300 bucks recently at Micro Center with a 17 inch screen for basic couch use, so far only 1 of the screw mounts has broken for the hinge
- My wife's got an HP 2-in-1 so the hinges are solid on that one.
- My mom has an HP I bought for her on eBay several years ago when her Toshiba from like 2012 started having issues, I made sure it was Windows 11 compliant so it's 8th gen, and one of the two hinge mounts is gone
- Mother-in-law uses a Dell Precision workstation I got used on eBay immediately post pandemic on Marketplace for like 350 with a 10th gen i7, bought it from someone who was going "back to the office" after lockdowns, she uses it to manage her business and there are no issues
Isn't that the design where the case is literally micro-welded together
so it can be opened once
you have to remove the screen to service it. It's a nightmare
I remember seeing online a good while back about one of the Surface devices, it was an older model but the guy figured out the exact location of the mSATA SSD so he legit cut a square hole in teh back of it to access it lol
Fairly recently I had a customer bring in a Surface Pro at my day job complaining about the speed, and it was like the final model that originally shipped with Windows 8.1 so it was a 4th gen i5, 8GB RAM, and the guy had upgraded it to Windows 10 but it didn't support 11
It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on the least repairable laptop we’ve ever seen. The first Surface Laptop was a nightmare to tear down, we melted keys and tore the alcantara cover just trying to get it open. Things were so bad we ended up scoring it a 0 out of 10 for repairability. Now we’ve got Microsoft’s latest laptop, the ...
wait wrong one lol
craptop
here we go
Microsoft built the new Surface Book to be a creative workhorse—and they're calling it the ultimate laptop. Will this new design eat into Apple’s sales? More importantly, will it score better than its brother, the Surface Pro 4, on our repairability scale? We got our hand on the Surface Book to answer all these questions and more. Let’s te...
every SB is the same design with different parts. Hence why the thermals are horrrrrrrrrrible on mine
repairability is a scale of Surface to Framework
Bro
sup bro
Yeah it takes like, 5+ years for a PCIe generation to get finalized
So if they're talking about Gen 8.0 now it won't actually exist on computers for quite a few years
I wanted to put liquid metal on my SB3 but I'll wait until I break the screen since removing it will likely break it
Repairability score: 1/10 -iFixit lol
mhm
yeah it's not likely you'll break the screen
it's a given
didn't iFixit break theirs while disassembling
ya almost guaranteed
I think they did
I don't know how anyone could remove it without breaking it
and humbly, none of us are better at tearing down a device than iFixit themselves
there's so much adhesive & it's freaking thin glass
soldered DRAM... it's checks every box for terrible
well the NVMe is replaceable so there's that
how long you think it itll be before PCIe has to be redesigned entirely?
i mean no one rlly uses itr for anything besides gpus now so maybe we'll phase it out, but idk when
I remember a couple months after getting the SurfaceBook3 reading that people were having the screen break from the heat of the CPU right behind it
god awful design
absolutely terrible
if you leave hwinfo open, you can see that it hits TJ max doing basically anything
must be slow too then
ya unless you're somewhere really cold lol
someone should make a 2 in 1 with a Ryzen Z series processor
lol would probably be way better than 10th gen i7
they'd rather do it with ryzen ai hx
or smth of that sort
asus already has one
flow z13
as long as they can cool it well enough
guys i wanna help my friend get a pc im curious about what cpu of ryzen and motherboard i should advice him for
like should he get r5 9600x or something else
he is on 1200-1300 budget
also what would be a good motherboard if he upgrades the cpu and stuff later
like b650 or b870 or x870
b650e is nice
but idk why youd get 9600x if 14600k costs less and is fast faster unless youre 100% sure youre upgrading to 10800x3d
@flat patio no
really bro don't recommend intel
why?
you are correct to say this, go with 7600x or 9600x
im not going to recommend a slower cpu with less cores that costs more
But you should recommend something with more gaming performance and an actual upgrade path
this is common knowledge
the 14600k is faster
whats he gonna get after the 14600k
what “upgrade path” whens the last time you saw someone go from a ryzen 5 to a 800$ high end cpu
most people keep that thing for years
whens the last time you saw someone get an intel cpu recommended here
always go amd rn
idk
You guys aren’t asking enough questions
tiktok tier info
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, NZXT H5 Flow (2024) ATX Mid Tower
I don't have tiktok
can you check this build for me guys
@main loom what’s your friends build?
What budget is for upgrades?
What’s his intended use?
😭 my ryzen 7 9800x3d is faster than ur all intel cpus bro
doesnt matter its the same bs advice they give same with many techtubers
149KS owns u
looks decent
Dawg it ain’t a competition
but its a nuclear reactor and theres nothing better on that motherboard
1200-1300 budget
he might upgrade later so thats why i would like to choose good motherboard
gaming
samsungs are great as far i know
1200-1300 for the whole pc?
And what’s he have now?
10-20 wont make an issue
yes for the whole pc
he doesnt own a pc yet
why white case for black parts
Lemme whip something up.
i just put a random one
the case
he would get black ofc
ill try making a list too
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, Radeon RX 9060 XT, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
what are the chances this is massively degraded lol
I will not make a list but pretend I was and act upset that someone posted one before me
How could you
i think he would like to have 5060 ti more
or nvidia card specially
so thats why i choosed 5060 ti for him
I had to 
but more expensive
he would like it more
imo i'd rather go for a 7700x
no it is not
my sentiment is 6 cores is meh
$20 more or less expensive?
60 dollars more
is he only gaming and has he used nvidia stuff like dlss before
ask him
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kb6BC8
could go for a 9700x/7700x if he wants
Monitor included
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
psu could be better
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qFh9gn better psu
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
do u think getting a cooler like Thermalright Aqua Elite ARGB V6 70.84 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler is better ?
Selected the cheaper option
But yeah, a refurb Corsair PSU would’ve cheaper
and wait why is there an asrock mobo
I don’t recc AIOs for newbies
Air all the way
It’s a good ASROCK board
As long as he’s not putting a 9800x3d on it
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
10 dollars saved from a simple psu change
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
what about the temp term
i alr did that
will it make a huge diff ?
also consider not buying a slower cpu with less cores
AIOs are more for looks than performance
hot take
depends on cpu. theyre like 20 bucks more
Stares at my wonky looking no rgb LF2 Sure...
That’s why I said not to
so the board here is the most important thing what guys would you recommend for something that is good and could upgrade with latewr
they wont if you actually go through the bios settings and set it up properly
an am5 board that has heatsinks
yeah depends how far theyre into the hobby
Gigabyte B850 GAMING WIFI6 ATX AM5 Motherboard or MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
Go with this list @main loom
Soo much activity
what about b650e
JP wants to kill chat
why downvote

850 is the new 650
can i change mb to Gigabyte B850 GAMING WIFI6 ATX AM5 Motherboard ?
Spending more for no reason
b650e is better though and costs less
for atx in a matx case
i didnt think of that tbh good point
idk i dont him to get asrock
genius
so b850 is the way to go
@elfin mural do you wanna make a final list for him
theres also white one
some z790 gigabyte is the cheapest one now
@frigid stag am i wrong lol ?
what about this
yeah thats a reason why pcie 5 is better
with b650E
b850 doesnt have it, only x870/e
Part List - Intel Core i5-14600K, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
intel list
why b850 dont and its more expensive ?
not necessarily but maybe
it's a maybe
theres no reason not to get the b650e unless you dont know how to flash the bios
since 5060ti is on 8 lanes
why it would need a bios flash
cuz ryzen 9000 need newer bios
yep my bad
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
i put x670e i dont know if its worth it
@elfin mural can you recommend it ?
he doesnt mind going a little above budget
not huge diff
and x670e would be better in this case
it makes no difference in real usage
but it's still within budget
so yeah, it's good enough
Np
guys i tried to make a build with those two
and thne price diff was like 60-70$
worth it ?
so does r5 9600x preforms better ?
core ultra 200 series isn't that much better
also yeah the prices are lower in new egg
localy or somewhere else it would be much higher
I found out where to do newegg shuffles but not a fan of what they have today so ill look tomorrow
Wazzuu
Check Newegg business
Yeah don't wait for shuffle. 9rder it right away
Pretty bleh when used 3080 10gb are just over $300
idk if it's error or something but for few days , shuffle items are open to order in neweggbusiness
Did you order this just now by the way
I getting good priced gpus and rams for few days 
yeah . this gpu is on shuffle today but it's orderable in their business website
It’s kinda funny, it showed a higher price last time I checked shuffle
which is odd

8gb 💀
cheap is cheap
55
i think the last comp for my loop arrives tomorrow
6400mhz cl32
no it was few days ago
Yeah but it is 300
darn
New 16 gig 5060 ti is like 450
I'd say keep on eye on woot . woot having decent ram deals sometimes
buy my 4060 ti 16GB instead
My friend has an 8 gig
300 or not best its gonna do is 720p
If you play borderline unplayable 4 then yeah
Yeah actually he is playing at 835p, upscaling to 1440p
I was actually thinking if getting the 16 pro max is a better idea
and waiting for the 18
coming from a s22 ultra I can get a trade in price for about 700 euros
Not that low though
for a new 16 pro max
What are you guy's opinions on 256 gig phones
sure beats my 64GB 
Normally I’d say who takes that many photos to fill up the storage but then I saw people who use Snapchat
No thing is my curent s22 is 256 gigs too
I'm doing fine on 128gb and that includes 12k photos that if I wanted I could offload to cloud for like $1/mo
ive only used up like 150
hmm I would surely enjoy the thought of having 512 gigs tho
like just sitting there
but idk if its worth the price
Yeah 64gb on my last phone was a little rough
dw i'll upgrade my phone once i stop buying GPUs
i still need 2 more tho lel
I would lowkey get a oneplus 11 and put lineageOS on there
Might do that when this 12 pro max craps out
Thing is is it worth jumping 250 euros for 512gigs
idk i get by on very little, but i don;t take a ton of photos
would be a waste of money for me
I liked my Pixel 3 but its battery died fast around the four year mark
and maybe three year
considering they could value my phone around that price range I could get it for 1k
Not sure what you would do on the phone for it to take up half a terabyte
Idk I don’t use my phone for much
Discord, pictures and some finance
The question is save up for the 17 pro max or impulsive buy the 16
Women who use Snapchat
Lmao I could do fine with 64
the 16 looks nice
nvm no i dont wana do no trade in
Yeah not that much but usually they having like 130$ 64gb decent kits . Or like 70$ 32gb kits
For example (not me):
plus ive got years of memories here
Realistically I don’t know if I even need 64 but people tell me I do need 32
But those 32GB kits are expensive a lot of the time
i've been telling you about cheap ali 32GB kits for like a month now 
woot had good kit for 72$ last week I guess
aliexpress>>>>>
guaranteed Hynix M or A die for less than that
also they have waifu A die for cheap
Huh?
I’m not gonna buy that, seems sketchy
it'
wow
it's not, but it'
it's not but it's also not my money so idc all that much lol
Low storage uti bros
How much could i list a i7 6700 mobo and ram for

I have not uploaded a video in 10 months
alr just be warned there is a small chance that there's a fuel leakage, I sealed it up tight as possible but you never know what ups can do to stuff like that
in the event it does just clean it off before launching, otherwise the reaction will melt the aluminum
i've not publicly uploaded in 8
I uploaded for the first time in over a year a couple weeks ago
i'm going to do a comprehensive Arc review at some point., but it's on the backburner until i finish benching the 7900 xt

Sorry, parts and requisitions provided an Intercontinental Blueberry Muffin instead of a missile
The Muffin was imported from France
So 16 pro max it is?
what
I dont know if i should buy a 16 pro max or a 17
like wait for the 17 to drop
what do you use your phone for
then a bigger screen would be better
i wonder if the iphone air would be worth considering over the 17 assuming they only want apple
it has a slightly bigger screen than the 17
17 has 6.3", air has 6.5"
16 pro max is 6.9" though
and it survived the jerry rig everything durability test which is pretty impressive
for an apple product
though he hasnt done one for the 17 non pro yet
Inb4 I check my Schwab news and see a heading labeled "US stocks may surge another 20% before historic crash, says 'black swan' fund Universa"
idk why i said that
ive got an ipad
I might be stupid
this is why I want it
it always think newer better
but idk
for 1k?
its looking promising
really they just released the superlight 2c
as soon as i get my superlight 2
wow
I will continue holding as I have been for a year now
😭😭😭
My three new toys
I mean, you'll never be able to time the market through sheer thought out decision making. Stocks are the biggest form of gambling in the world
I thought I was joever earlier this year when my index funds dropped -30%
but now they're up by 16%
And if there is a big disruption in the market that means big capital gains distributions 
I'm up 24% on foreign market and 11.4% on US
Incidentally, I tried to time the market because there was hopium going around right before Jan. 20 when I jumped in that tariffs were going to be less of a thing than they were hyped up
I have stakes on domestic and US markets, I'm up 2% on my domestic index fund and about 18% for my US funds
the Philippine economy is dog poo as ever
Sounds about right tbh
Stutter Hill 2

@craggy shoal dyou think putting a metal plate between the desk and top end of the clamp would help even the pressure out?
i think to myself
why did i even upgrade my GPU
if all I'm going to play is a spreadsheet game and a game built on a 20 year old engine
Mappies?
HOI4 and Vic3 yeah
Yes. Top plate would be better than bottom plate. But both would be better than just top
i was craving something of an economic system similar to TNO
One of the mods for HoI4 is trying to recreate Vic2 economics iirc
One of the mods that shift it to that era
They sell plates that look better than scrap metal lol
speaking of
i'm excited with EU5
I'm so sick of the trade node system in EU4
lol i'll see the prices
I'm also not a EU guy, I was more into CK2
Which is funny seeing as how EU4 was my first Paradox game
That and Darkest Hour
Go play MD smh
MD?
Millennium dawn
Wait 50 years until TNO gives enough content to new minor nations
Should be like $30 lol
guangdong was really memorable though
Yea Guangdong was incredible
and then sba
With the expectation of Guangdong I was disappointed with the lack of content from everything else after it
i managed to set off the only nuke in the game >w<
england was lacklustre
and i'm still waiting for the rework
Yea still not here lmao
i think it's been 1 or nearing 2 years now
Antarctica is boring af
More time passed irl than the amount of time you can play as free England in game smh
funnily enough, i played scotland even without the content
i got england and the irish xD
Iirc I played it before the England update and it had way more content than it does now smh
so yeah i agree with your lack of conent for minor nations
There is only 1 good examples of a minor nation with good content in TNO
yeah i wished that they just released the content in bulk instead of doing a partial rollout
Mexico had enough content to be decent but can't compare to Guangdong
Oh and Russia rework never happens
it didn't have the depth of gameplay
tbh now i'm just playing equestria at war
They technically have 10+ years of Russia content but it's all copy paste and haven't changed in years
Sorry we have to replace the entire US focus tree for the 3rd time
Other than post 2gcw stuff
Can we like actually get something out of moskowien
They've been that way since the first time I saw TNO
What is that you want a rework of Germany content? Sure thing, no more Speer
Now you only get nothing ever happens bro or the death cult
Sure thing, let's have hard coded gcw winners and take the post gcw content away from the rest
No more wholesome Sablin because the spam became too much
Sorry Sablin rework has been delayed for another 50 years
We need to focus on setting up another sphere of influence game for Italy
Which has no visible impact because none of the countries involved will ever have a focus tree stop asking
I really think it is funny that none of the countries that have gcw civil wars and the groups they split into have any focus trees
Like yeah, England exists, but they deleted all of it. Anything east of Germany is just nothing. Flavor states who only serve as minor roadblocks to repuppeting or always get absolutely curb stomped
Wait, I think they added some minor war focus trees for some of them?
I don't rember
my monitor looked like this when I booted, any possibilities?
it was perfectly fine earlier
it's summoning the 13th angel in evangelion
funny stuff aside
check the cable
connect reconnect
there was like 2 lines in the middle of the taskbar that was sitting for a while but it was unnoticeable prior
I readjusted the monitor and it’s back to normal, could it be affected by the monitor arm mount?
as long as it's not magic smoke that's coming from your monitor mount
you should believe in whatever superstition you just formed in this very moment
(it's probably something to do with the cables)
true, I wonder if it couldve been the power adapter since one of the cords is angled tightly when I organized them
it jus has these lines at the bottom now
other than that it’s back to normal
it might be a common issue the m27q x, idk why it's discontinued tho
Hold
@olive plaza your infinite wisdom is required
@viral heron ask Doug
"so hey, we still dont have games for the ps5, so we're releasing the ps5 super pro for $800 thatll have 1gb more ram"
PS6!!!

Now is a great time to show new hardware that will cost 800-1k
cant wait for the enhanced version of tlou remastered
TLoU Remastered Enhanced Ultimate GotY Greatest Hits edition
I have been summoned
@viral heron
I took my A+ in 2006. What do you need to know?
They need to bring back Greatest Hits
They stopped after the PS4
Probably because of the heavier push for digital sales or something, so no discounted reprints
even then, they still have greatest hits on digital
dont know why they wouldn't bother discounting some of their older titles
probably because they keep remastering them even when they don't need it
Something something, digital sales go brrr and physical reprints cost money or something I dunno
It isn't like the Greatest Hits versions were always exactly the same, some of them came with patches back when you couldn't download them on the internet
im taking next friday idk if im rdy tho lol feel like im overthinking it
ive gotten 80% on like every prac exam ive taken
guys do u think 5070 ti or 5080 would be better if i recommend it to someone
as far as i know 5070 ti is better in terms of its more cheap and not that much diff in preformance
idk if im wrong

Reddit thread about modding newer driver: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1nlufn0/you_can_get_fsr4_to_work_by_swapping_out_cer...
5070 ti is much cheaper
But
🍑
ya it definitely sticks out lol
the cable for it has always bothered me
I should get one that's a darker color
I like radiator fluid
so much cheaper than actual loop fluid lol
most mature warframe player
is that even allowed
5080 is usually around 15% better for way more then 15% money compared to the 5070ti
PORTAL
true
Because I was not teleporting the drone
but i dont like doing it because of the offchance that it throws the drone off course and it goes back to where the portal was placed
Yeah idk what you want me to say other than, good luck! Even if you don't pass you can always retake.
WE NEED MORE STARGATE
It's been....14 years
Demon slayer movie and I'm the only one here

NVM someone walked in right after I fart

what?
31 background processes is kinda good for windows no?
with only that much resource usage yes
my tweaked 25H2 system is running 107 windows processes
ghost spectre LTSC is running 49
mfs will listen to this and say it's fire
I found this thing. Run powershell as admin & type:
iwr -useb https://christitus.com/win | iex
easy win11 tweaks
i've never seen anyone use invoke webrequest lmao
usually we use internet relay manager (irm)
so irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex
lol I just copied it from the website
I think there was an alternative command with irm
apparently it doesnt stand for that
idk where i read that it said it was that, but apparently it's invoke restmethod (irm)
tbh I didn't even really know about it until recently
like the whole winget thing that's kinda like apt on Linux (I think)
This is what I used to debloat windows
Z490 
this week is STACKED with gaming news
Fr? I think i missed em 💀
well don't fret because today/tomorrow will be a barrage of stuff
Any open world rpgs?
(Yeah elden ring and cyberpunk left a hole in my heart)
Black myth wukong is pretty great
But the invisible walls man…
checking
well a game trailer called ananta happened
because games like these are wayyy too ambitious that there has to be a catch
not every game trailer delivers on the same quality if not better
could never
Still must be hard for people who’ve been gaming for a long time to believe that cyberpunk ended up becoming one of the few optimized high fidelity games of this decade 
I started gaming when that game was optimized 
heh they could've dipped but committed to fixing the strangest bugs
same will likely happen with the witcher 4
And got creative with how to shape the game even tho they couldn’t make everything they initially promised
tokyo game show starting on the 25th
thats where the rumored "xbox" game trailer will pop up
PLEASE BE HORIZON 6
Xbox huh…
Heard abt the 8 hundy price now
Oh weary’s here
U wanna see smth truly horrid
Lord of the Rings Online will be offline tomorrow for maintenance for 4 hours

nah im too tired
Incidentally now is a good time to jump into LotRO
SSG is currently doing a coupon code to give a lot of content free right now for LotRO
WE HAVE A KIWI MUNCHER IN THIS SERVER
LEVEL 10 ALERT
I dunno why my parents cringe everytime i eat a kiwi ||whole without peeling em its honestly not bad||


The skin aint bad tbh
So basically all content is free up to level 140ish
Mmos… 
lol
LotRO is probably the best one right now for free content
Its gone now…
thats crazy
breh
The biggest problem is that it is sitting on a lot of old stuff that isn't in line with modern MMO gameplay. I have 680 hours in the thing and haven't gotten into a lot of content made within the past 10 years and quite a few mechanics have been dropped or abandoned
Also the servers are pepeg
And SSG is not doing any major overhauls, just chugging out content
And the few overhauls they have done have been disasters that have broken the game
They replaced the deed log book with a new (and imo a worse looking one) that caused random crashes for everyone no matter what
And their recent burglar class overhaul has triggered an issue that lags the servers
That they patched out by nixing the part of the overhaul causing it
And then they accidentally reenabled it and had to patch it again last week
Real
Ok has
Ok has
Ok has
has Ok
Haswell ok
it all comes back to it
What is it
Uhhh... What????
What the hell BS is this lmao
I guess being 21 isn't old enough to track my steps? Lmfao?
its prob some law lol
21 to buy beer and cigarettes, 16 for drivers license, 18 to vote, but nope, must be 22 to track your walking
too dangerous
how it feels to install a web browser on linux
how it actually is like to install a web browser on linux: sudo apt install firefox
what are these funny magic words magic man 
fruit aisle
sudo: run as superuser
apt: package manager
install: install command
e.g.
sudo <package manager> <install command> <package name>
example for a different OS:
For Arch,
The package manager would be:
pacman
Install command:
-S
full command
sudo pacman -S firefox
bros putting a hex on my pc 💀
Basically what you're doing is
You, the superuser, is telling the package manager to install [insert package name]
the moment when firefox is preinstalled on distros
