#

Ok

#

Which one is "$5 at <50 feet"?

strange perch
#

he is saying the difference is 5$ between CAT5 and CAT6

#

Oh

Fr?

#

Well.. ngl.. that might get expensive, because my house has no Ethernet in the walls

need help with random physics question related to magnets

#

if i have an electromagnet, and i push the north side of a permanent magnet towards the north side of the electromagnet, and the distance between them decreases because they are unable to push away from each other, what happens to the current running through the electromagnet?

#

does the resistance of the coiled wire increase due to the presence of the opposing magnetic field?

#

would voltage increase or decrease?

#

i don't know how to google for the answer to this question, and I'm really bad at math sooooo...

#

is it electritcal

#

?

if i have an electromagnet, and i push the north side of a permanent magnet towards the north side of the electromagnet, and the distance between them decreases because they are unable to push away from each other, what happens to the current running through the electromagnet?
@eager bison i think. repeat I THINK that the current would pass through the permanent magnet, simply because diamegnetism isn't related to electrical flow. if they're touching or in close proximity, the permanent magnet (should?) conduct the signal. magnetivity of either magnet shouldn't change tho

#

interesting experiment

#

i'll try it out tonight, when I wake up, and get back to you

eager bison
#

the magnets won't be touching, just getting close to each other.

ewwww

cloud dagger

For price and performance

minor crypt

hello

#

anyone a good android tablet for decent price? dont care if it has play store or not

#

Huawei MatePad Pro looks nice

nova osprey
#

Got it figured out i guess. Turns out his ethernet was either through power line, or wireless extenders that have a port in them. Either way, that was the problem because when he plugged straight into the router, all was fine. So miscommunication strikes again. Thanks for the help tho @strange perch

green stream
#

oh lol i assumed he was direct into router from beginning

nova osprey
#

As did I

strange perch
#

@nova osprey you are very welcome :)

Hey guys I need some urgent help with my MSi laptop

#

it's not charging

#

I plugged it in, all the cables are secure, I checked that the power socket works

#

But it doesn't show as charging, and it just died and won't turn on

#

What do I do??

graceful mauve
#

Is your computer old or new?

#

@calm mural

calm mural
#

New

#

About a month

#

It's an A15 A10RAS

#

@graceful mauve

graceful mauve
#

Yeah I'm here. Looking for solutions

dense ember
#

maybe the battery is faulty?

graceful mauve
#

Yeah what I was thinking

dense ember
#

is it good to plug in without the battery to see if it turns on?

graceful mauve
#

Or your AC adapter is bad

echo parrot
#

id prolly just rma it

dense ember
#

that too ye

calm mural
#

The battery isn't removable from the outside and I don't want to unscrew it in case I void my warranty

#

I think it's the adapter

#

But I don't have any tools to test that

graceful mauve
#

Could be the charger itself

calm mural
#

Wdym

graceful mauve
#

The whole brick...

#

You know the charger lol

#

See if u can find another one

calm mural
#

If it helps it's 100-240V

#

input

graceful mauve
#

That's standard voltage

calm mural
#

most of the writing on it is in mandarin so

graceful mauve
#

One sec

calm mural
#

The laptop itself is an A15 A10RAS, but idk if the charger is always the same

graceful mauve
#

How many watts, volts, and amps is the charger?@calm mural

calm mural
#

Hold on

#

Input
AC100-200V ~ 50-60Hz 1.5A

Output
+19.0V ---4.74A 90.1W

#

@graceful mauve

graceful mauve
#

Ok

#

@calm mural I think I found it

#

Here's a replacement

#

$80

#

This is your best bet rn

calm mural
#

That isn't the same one

graceful mauve
#

Mmmm

#

Wow

calm mural
graceful mauve
#

O

#

What's the model number?

calm mural
#

Bro it's in mandarin I don't know

graceful mauve
#

Crap

calm mural
graceful mauve
#

I'm still going to look for it

#

Wait

#

There it is

calm mural
#

Is this the number you need

calm mural
#

Bro I live in new zealand I can't afford to have days and days of shipping

graceful mauve
#

RIP

calm mural
#

It's either a problem with my AC adapter or more terrifyingly a problem with the battery

#

because my laptop has been running very hot on a lot of games

graceful mauve
#

You'll have to use a local vendor in your country. Or someone from Asia

#

Wondering who

craggy flintBOT
#
Comet the Fox#3939 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

calm mural
#

Oops

#

Can heat mess up the battery

graceful mauve
#

Yeah extreme heat yep

calm mural
#

Define extreme

echo parrot
#

the model number is on the other side of the mandarin

calm mural
#

Like so hot you can't put your hand on it?

echo parrot
#

what cpu/gpu do u have on ur laptop

calm mural
#

nvidia mx330

graceful mauve
#

I found the charger, jake. Now he needs to find it nearby

echo parrot
#

yeah but im thinking the wattage might not be enough

graceful mauve
#

Mmmm

#

One sec

calm mural
#

the charger worked perfectly 100% of the time up until today

#

And I have no clue why

#

I really really hope it isn't a problem with the battery

echo parrot
#

ah then yeah prolly charger

graceful mauve
#

Yeah

#

Mostly like to just die

calm mural
#

How can you tell

echo parrot
#

a laptop can perform without a battery

graceful mauve
#

Yep

#

^

#

Very true

#

So it's ur charger.

calm mural
#

You mean if it's plugged into ac the battery doesn't matter?

echo parrot
#

yea

graceful mauve
#

I can do the same with my laptop

calm mural
#

Alright

graceful mauve
#

One sec

calm mural
#

i sure hope you're right

graceful mauve
#

Nah jake is right

#

No way your laptop wouldn't work if it was plugged in

calm mural
#

Also I tested the socket using my phone charger and my phone was responsive

#

So it can't be the socket I think

graceful mauve
calm mural
#

Yeah that's the right one

graceful mauve
#

From Singapore. Closer

calm mural
#

But honestly I dont even know if I have the spare money and am resultantly panicking

graceful mauve
#

Damn

#

Always down to money

#

So what now?

dense ember
#

first of all did you use it a lot before it went off?

echo parrot
#

maybe contact msi

dense ember
#

maybe let it cool off

echo parrot
#

see if they would replace charger

dense ember
#

make sure the air vents have clearance next time

#

and use the laptops options to run at full fan speed

#

if it opens up that is

#

did it charge before that?

calm mural
#

The charger and laptop have been fully functional for about a month, since I purchased it

#

@dense ember

dense ember
#

so today it happened right?

calm mural
#

The laptop was turned on and functional when I began experiencing the charging problems

dense ember
#

oh

calm mural
#

It was plugged in securely and turned on, but still showed the low battery icon instead of saying it was on charge

#

And then it died

#

So it's almost definitely the AC adapter

dense ember
#

so you have to buy a new charger then?

vast pendant
#

it could still be the battery not all laptops pass power around the battery

calm mural
#

yeeeahhhh... but got no money

#

Nilbo I don't have any way to find that out

#

It's a 'gaming laptop' so I would assume so

#

What sort of laptops typically do or don't have the feature

vast pendant
#

usually a gaming one will 🙂

calm mural
#

aight

#

hopefully the warranty covers the ac adapter being faulty

vast pendant
#

and ac adapters are relatively inexpensive

calm mural
#

Its not damaged or anything it's perfectly intact and I'm careful with it

#

Yeah nilbo but I don't have any money to spare at all

vast pendant
#

hopefully the warranty will cover it

calm mural
#

Yep

vast pendant
#

they might have you send the whole thing in to diagnose the problem

calm mural
#

I don't know whether I contact MSI or the store I got it from

#

Id assume the store right?

vast pendant
#

store first

#

but if you dont like what they are offering dont accept

#

then register it on MSI website and call MSI

calm mural
#

Offering?

vast pendant
#

like they say they will only return it with a $50 restocking fee or something

calm mural
#

that's so scummy wtf

#

that sort of thing doesn't tend to happen in new zealand

vast pendant
#

well thats good

#

if not MSI will probably do something

calm mural
#

Hope so

@granite haven i would buy a razer kraken x usb... it as a pretty decent mic, but mainly it's stupid comfortable... also buy a razer THX spatial audio license, u get a discount with the headset

Hi everyone! Can someone explain the difference between the PS5 bundles that are priced at $699 and $679?

How powerful is the ps5
@jolly hazel it’s a bit stronger than the 2080

strange perch

@whole copper normal solution is thermal pad in a metal case

so that you get a more direct contact to the case

#

if that is not enough, then a small finned heatsink with X amount of airflow across it

#

if that is not enough, then a small finned heatsink with a dedicated fan

wow the ps5 is strong then

considering that the price of the ps5 is equal if not cheaper than a standalone graphics card of the same strength, that's amazing

anything I need to know about the HD60 Pro elgato?

pine comet
#

@calm mural You can kinda do that with an exposed die and a nice high def thermal cam. You won't be able to see the individual electrons, but you can see what areas of the circuit are being used

#

It's also possible to use an array very very sensitive radio receivers to detect the flow of electrons and get a decent idea of what they're doing

anything I need to know about the HD60 Pro elgato?
@gloomy pewter what about it? btw obs is better bulbasip

green stream
#

Wdym obs is better, it is a capture card to be used by a software like obs lol

calm mural
#

^^

#

Exactly

#

@minor crypt do you know about capture cards?

minor crypt
#

no i do- it's just if ur not running an alr expensive system, obs can run on gpu, right?

#

im not too positive

calm mural
#

Yup

#

But the capture card doesn’t use the pc power

#

But OBS obviously does

#

I would recommend streamlabs more than OBS tbh

green stream
#

Can run on hardware encoder yes and that is good for most people. Capture card would be if you are doing a dual pc stream setup or console streaming. And i am the opposite i prefer obs studio over slobs lol, or streamelements plugin for studio

calm mural
#

U can do dual pc stream setup without a capture card tho @green stream

green stream
#

can but works best if you have a capture card

calm mural
#

Yah true

minor crypt
#

need gpu for fps

gloomy pewter
#

My friend does a lot of console streaming be wants an internal capture card anyone know anything about them?

green stream
#

if you are using the display captured in obs as screen for console there is a bit of a delay, idk much about but i bet eposvox has a review, he does a lot of streaming gear review and guide

tribal scarab
#

is obs worse than streamlabs?

#

never used streamlabs

heady parcel
#

streamlabs is obs

#

some people call it slobs

#

stream labs obs basicallu

#

and if you're streaming, slobs is much, much easier

calm mural
#

Ik thats why I reccomend it more

tribal scarab
#

well im not streaming

#

just recording

#

so

calm mural
#

bruh

#

its still better than obs for recording

tribal scarab
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

green stream
#

slobs is easier for beginners, the general function and setup is the same i just feel slobs has a bit more bloat. this may be a bit extreme but reminds me of using a phone camera vs using a dslr

thorn gulch
#

as a note, easier =/= better

#

I havent used slobs so I cant say much, but def dont use "easier" as a way of saying it's better. For all I know obs is harder because it's more advanced. To which therefore would technically be better to learn and understand so that your streams/recordings are better quality for examlpe.

3070 or 6800

Hmmmmm

Which would be better now

green stream
#

with the current gens amd has the better raw raster, nvidia if you need their rtx stuff or if there is a specific application you use that is better optimized for nvidia

finite rose
#

Terrorpup i'd go with 6800/xt

#

over nvidia, i am soon gonna update myself to ryzen +6800xt

dusky rain
#

with ltt review on the 6800 i would say the RTX 3080 or 3070 is better

plush comet
#

if you think you will use ray tracing a lot or if you would stream, nvidia would be better

#

just casual gaming, amd has better performance

I am looking for a work/gaming laptop with a bit of a punch. SSD size doesn't matter as I can use external, cloud storage or replace SSD myself later on. I narrowed it down to two choices which I will post. I wanted to get a second opinion on which one is better.

rocky plover

I just got the aorus 5, which is basically the same laptop except for the screen size. I am really enjoying it and i think its great. I thought about the second one when considering which laptop to buy and I read lots of people complaining about heating issues

thorny turret
#

I mean I would prefer 17 but 15 would work as well

sturdy jolt
#

a17 just doesn't offer those specs that I can see sadly

thorny turret
#

@rocky plover Yes I also saw an overheating issue

rocky plover
#

From my experience the screen on the aorus is really nice and the keyboard feels also pretty good for a laptop. But it gets pretty loud when you're gaming, it has quiet mode but it gets pretty hot when you game on that mode.

sturdy jolt
#

There's talk of potential overheating on the A15 but someone I know in belgium got it with the 4800h+2060 setup and no overheating

thorny turret
rocky plover
#

Another thing about the aorus is that it is made of plastic, it make it pretty light and it feels pretty good for a plastic laptop but i think it's something to consider when you want a laptop to carry around with you a lot. Idk what the Asus one is made of tho

anyways either way there's 3 set of specs that's offered to you at about the same price

rocky plover
# thorny turret Wow! that loud?

Most of the time I use it in the living room so they are there too it's not like it's from a seperate room. Also it gets loud only if you play heavier games. I can play hearthstone and it won't be loud but when i open overwatch on ultra settings the fans kick to 100% and you can really hear it.

Depends on your usage... Macbooks in general are just very expensive streamlined Unix devices.
Personally as a MBP owner who got it for software development, I would NOT go with a Mac again. Would much rather run linux on a more conventional laptop and get more bang for the buck than go with the fancy looking MBP again.

I just feel like the only needs for a mac can be done with alternatives on windows/linux machine, and the Mac software optimizations can be offset by just stronger hardware you can get for the same price on a windows machine :P

On top of that be wary of the first gen re-release of any product from Apple. The first 2015 MPs had quite a few issues on release that were ironed out over the next few gens.

@sturdy jolt 100% I really only recommend them for professional office equipment and that is only because of third-party support from device management vendors doesn't really exist in a healthy way for most flavors of linux envs.

Hello everyone, I am wondering if someone could help me decide what router and modem or combo I should buy. I have a few that I like but have questions.

midnight mantle
#

@dusky goblet , I got an Asus ac3100 4 years ago, just to make sure it was future proofed, and it's held on ever since. Any modem in the $60-$100 range should be fine, since the modem has less to do than the router. Just modulates a signal. I also have a lot of electronics that connect to my router and get used at the same time (family use). So you may not even need a router that good or expensive.

How many devices do you think you will use at once on your router?

dusky goblet
#

Hi YumYum, honestly it’s typically just my wife and I, and let’s say at maximum we have 3 laptops, both phones and a tv streaming. No, we have frequent guests but I don’t mind spending the extra money. I just don’t know what to get. My concern is that I am active duty military, and will be moving around. I want some thing that will work with all or most providers so I can use whatever I get anywhere.

#

I have spectrum now, and we have a 500mbps router. However, I have a 3 story townhouse right now and I get about 20 mbps on both 1st and 3rd floor. Which is no good. I also don’t want to rent spectrums crap anymore, time to invest in a piece of equipment.

@dusky goblet theyre more enterprise routers but theyre absolutely fantastic, they do have consumer oriented stuff if you arent too into networking in general. https://amplifi.com/ heres their consumer facing site

Not Just a Wi-Fi Router, It’s a Mesh Wi-Fi System.

midnight mantle
# dusky goblet I have spectrum now, and we have a 500mbps router. However, I have a 3 story to...

I get what you mean, I was active duty too. the 3100 in asus ac3100 refers to how much bandwidth the router can handle at once. So 3,100 Mbps (but it is split up between the frequencies so 2.1 Gbps for the 5 Ghz; 1 Gbps for the 2.4 Ghz.

My modem I don't know what brand it is, but you want doxis 3.1 for the modem. it's future proofed and works with most providers (I do know that verizon hates sharing though. some companies only accept their own brand.)

You do want your router to be be significantly higher speeds than your internet speeds IF you are utilizing all the available internet bandwidth.

something to remember after getting the router is to check the channels. basically the router will have so many channels that each device can connect to within 5Ghz [max 45] and 2.4Ghz [max 12]. This can help with connectivity, because if your neighbors are on the same channel as you, even though using their own router, it can interfere with your wi-fi connection).

for streaming 4k you can use wi-fi, you only need 30 Mbps PER device you are actively streaming on, streaming 1080p really requires at most 10 Mbps per actively streaming device.

If you're gaming online though, I just recommend Cat6 ethernet cables directly hooked to the gaming device. There's Cat7 and Cat 8 out now, but Cat6 is still overkill. 10Gbps at 50 meters, and you can get 100 ft (30 meters) for pretty cheap (like $25). I have the 100ft because I route the cable around the top of the room for aesthetics, and to make sure no one trips over it. and a short Cat6 for connecting the modem to the router.

midnight mantle
# dusky goblet Never heard of it. I was looking for either Netgear, arris, asus. But I’m open ...

These are good brands, and yes I recommend separate router and modem, but mostly if you're gaming online. For streaming and downloading content, a router modem combo is perfectly capable. (Even gaming doesn't really need separate, shave off some 10 milliseconds at best). I bought my Doxis 3.1 modem from Spectrum and it works great, even though I don't know what brand it is. Also, it works with most other providers.

#

TLDR:

Competitive online gaming - get separate router (1500 Mbps or higher will future proof you for a while) and a doxis3.1 modem. use Cat 6 ethernet cable to connect router to gaming device.

Streaming videos - router modem combo with Doxis 3.1 connectivity and 1500 Mbps or higher.

@midnight mantle Awesome information. Thank you so much! A friend of mine recommended this...

#

Does not look like Newegg carries it from my quick research.

midnight mantle
#

It looks like it is more expensive than what you are getting

dusky goblet
#

I was kind of thinking the same. I don't mind spending the money, but it has to pay itself off.

midnight mantle
#

because you can pay less and get more.

dusky goblet
#

Oh, well I like that. lol What are you thinking?

midnight mantle
#

an arris 3.1 modem ($115)

looking up some good routers in the $200-$300 range, which are still over kill. btw do you game online?

dusky goblet
#

I do, but I have been declining over the years. Too much stuff going on. I was hit by florence, michael and dorian over the last 2 years. So, most of my time is work and repairing the house. Most of my gaming right now is just phone crap. But, yes, the longer term answer will be yes.

($170) ASUS AC2900 comparable to the Nighthawk

those are just on the "cheap" side, but will definitely be future proofed for years to come

that's just $285 - $330 for the modem and router separate. and really it is overkill still. The ones I pointed out have external antenna which give better range. I once worked on my car across the street in a neighboring parking lot and still had 5Ghz connection (that's the faster speed but shorter range)

#

I have the ASUS 3100 but it's not much better than the 2900 and costs $50 more, also sorry, just realized the netgear only has 2200 combined Mbps vs the ASUS combined 2900 Mbps

Netgear generally costs more than ASUS for the same specs, but it's sort of like AMD vs Intel. Apple vs PC. You're really paying extra for the brand name

# calm mural Is there a way to come from dsl port and convert to either net port as a cable

The short answer is no.

The long answer is, if you already have a DSL modem, then it is pointless to connect to a cable modem. You would need 3 modem, DSL modem, a DSL to coaxial modem to convert the DSL tech into Doxis tech that the cable modems use, the finally your cable (coaxial) modem. you'd lose speed, because the max speed of the DSL modem is either what your internet providers give you or 100 Mbps if they gave you the max the tech can handle. by modulating (modems modulate) the signal more than once, you reduce your speeds.

i dont like netgear consumer routers tbh

I need an Answer to a Question I have, I want to get a Ethernet Switch, but I dunno if the amount of ports will include the input port, or if it's outputs only, so on a 5 port Switch, would I have 4 outputs with 1 input, or 5 outputs with 1 input?

rocky creek
#

your capitalization is so weird lmfao

rocky creek
half sonnet
#

So if I'd want to hook up two PCs, a PS4, an Xbox One, and a Nintendo Switch, I'd need an 8 Port Switch?

rocky creek
#

yep

#

imp 5 port switches are a waste

#

just get an unmanaged gigabit switch

echo parrot
#

hehe switch on switch

half sonnet
#

I mean, I'd like to have a few ports open, just in case

#

and, I should get a Switch, right? not an extra Router?

echo parrot
#

yeah switch

#

extra router would be pointless and have less ports

#

most likely

half sonnet
#

Would a Router hooked up to a Switch, work?

echo parrot
#

afaik it should

Because, I should Probably pick up a Router too, just to do Wireless VR

did ur isp not provide a wifi router?

#

or do u not have one?

I live with Family

with a Floor/Desk between me and the router

its not gonna make it better most likely

#

is it below u?

#

or above

half sonnet

Below, and off to the side yes

rocky creek
#

why tf do you type like that

echo parrot
#

yeah capitalizing Floor and Desk

rocky creek
#

lol weird

echo parrot
#

but it being below you isnt great

#

because pretty sure wifi signals are projected down

#

and out

I guess it just feels weird to not have something capitalized sometimes to me?
