A 600mp sensor would be very big
Also to process all of it would be insane aswell

I need to find a bluetooth and wireless adapter for my HP pavillian PC that is under $10. Is there a product that fits my description newegg.com sells?

Mack#5177 has been warned

is this legit?

#

someone is trying to giveaway a free 3090 on ebay\

#

I dont know if it is real though

#

and they say they have 10

tribal scarab
#

Go try

fiery jetty
#

"Free GTX 3090 Gift"

#

GTX

#

lol

fierce hull
#

probs a credit card scam

fierce hull
fiery jetty
#

In the description it says GTX

#

in the title it says RTX

fierce hull
#

oh

#

i see now

fiery jetty
#

yeah. hard to see lol

calm mural
#

lol just checking

#

for 6 bucks though even for a gtx card thats good

fierce hull
#

yeah

wise vector
#

literally everything about that screams scam

calm mural
#

I know it does i was just wondering

#

I wonder what they would send you

sturdy jolt
#

@calm mural they won't send anything

#

Those scams are for phishing your info

#

Email, phone number, name, address.

green stream
sturdy jolt
quasi zephyr
#

Scammers.

#

That is just purely a scam. Why won't someone giveaway a low-stock RTX/GTX card that is worth more than $1,200 USD? If they did send the item, it probably a Chinese knock-off product aka counterfeit graphics card.

sturdy jolt
#

for like 7$, they won't ship a thing

quasi zephyr
#

Yeah, but they did want to troll the person, they can ship a counterfeit item.

fierce hull
quasi zephyr
#

WAIT!

#

The scam ebay listing said Free shipping...

sturdy jolt
#

@fierce hull not if they don't ship anything or take the money

how different do y'all think AM5 based motherboards will be from AM4?

I've got a question about wifi adapters if anyone is able to help

fiery jetty
#

maybe

light scroll
#

At the moment i have the "ASUS Wireless PCI-E Adapter" i continue to get disconnected from the internet and i have now clue why.

fiery jetty
#

could be sooo many different things... bad configuration on the network card.... bad configuration on the PC... need a driver update... router misconfiguration... interference

#

if ur using windows, try looking in Event Viewer to see if there are any events around the time you get disconnected .. could give some insight

light scroll
#

I am using windows. I'll keep it in thought of checking in on it when it happens next

i did it

Don't know if this is the right channel to ask this in, but I just installed a second M.2 ssd into my pc and now there's no signal going to my monitors but fans spin. Does anyone have trouble shooting tips? I removed the second ssd and this is still happening

Are cheap (30 bucks) cable extensions a bad idea?

rocky creek
#

theyre a moderate idea

nova osprey
#

Do they remain a moderate idea when they're used to power a 5800x and 30 series card?

rocky creek
#

i try not to trust expensive parts to coexist with cheap parts

Fair enough

just make sure ur buying from a reputable brand

ehh

not for fans

swift seal
#

do printers count in this channel?

sturdy jolt
#

It's a blanket channel for everything that doesn't fit elsewhere

#

So go ahead

swift seal
#

oh nice

#

anyways im thinking of getting an hp envy 6055

#

im wondering if its compatible with chromeOS and android

#

also windows

strange perch
#

@swift seal it uses the HP smart app

#

so yes

swift seal
#

oh ok? so is that available on windows and chromeos? sorry if its a dumb question

#

im not really bright when it comes to printers lol

strange perch
#

the HP smart app is what android and macOS uses

#

and windows has its own driver

#

and chromeOS = android in that regard

#

so it should work

swift seal
#

isnt chrome os linux based?

strange perch
#

it has android app support

swift seal
#

oh ye

strange perch
#

but please know/be-aware of the following

swift seal
#

?

strange perch
#

just because it supports it. does not mean it works well

woeful quarry
#

Yes chrome os is Linux based but can run most android apps

strange perch
#

we are talking about the bane of most technicians here

#

it is a printer after all

#

and they are made to be annoying

#

(i so very much wished i was joking about that)

woeful quarry
#

Wifi printer is easiest for me to use

swift seal
#

the thing is the chromebook i have was given to me by my friend and the thing is its under an admin

#

the envy 6055 is a wifi printer btw

#

i think

strange perch
#

it is

#

the challenge/problem is that HP sometimes are their own worst enemy in regards to support of things

#

so all i can say/offer is this: Best of luck, i hope you wont need it

swift seal
#

would i be better off with a canon printer?

strange perch
#

same deal

swift seal
#

ah

strange perch
#

when the HP software works, it just works

swift seal
#

what would you recommend

strange perch
#

consider this: my parents have a earlier version of the 6055

#

and when it works, all is good

#

but there is that one or two times per year where it does something "weird"

#

and then i spend a good 1-2 hours just straight up cursing at it

swift seal
#

what happens?

strange perch
#

upside is i get a good meal when i visit to fix it for them, but yeah

#

driver decides it does not like something. No error code, no nothing

#

or it decides to forget the wifi

swift seal
#

oof

strange perch
#

its not been the same "thing" twice yet

swift seal
#

printer periods

#

lol

strange perch
#

basically yes

#

ive been in this field for decades, and the one type of technician that has the most respect? the ones that only deal with printers

#

again, that is not a joke

#

printers are just plain weird

swift seal
#

my uncle's office building has an old ass lookin behemoth of a printer that sounds like its gonna explode

#

i got to visit once and yeah he wasn't lying

#

i stood outside the printer room for my own safety lol

#

anyways thanks for the help cya

strange perch
#

you are very welcome :)

#

WiFi cards ain’t gonna do jack if your top of the line board WiFi can’t do jack either. A wire is always better

lone sleet
#

... how can wifi "sometimes" be better. Like if your talking about a 60 dollar wifi card versus a cat 5 ethernet cable of course its better but other than that I cant see wifi being better. Unless you mean like in situations you can't use something

#

I really hope Adamo was joking because I'm losing hope in society slowly

formal socket
#

exactly

#

wifi may be convenient and all

#

but a wire is guaranteed to work

heady parcel
#

i had 10 gps down wired, and then used a $10 usb wifi adapter and got 72 down instead

rocky creek
#

Wifi is always worse

heady parcel
#

not in my case

rocky creek
#

Always in any case lol

#

Just depends what switch the wire is connected to

green stream
#

wired direct to router is best. if you are going above gigabit then depends which supports it but 10gig cards are very expensive

rocky creek
#

^

#

Or through a managed switch that has good qos

heady parcel
#

my ethernet cable was routed directly from my router to my mobo and i had 10mbps down

#

switched to a $10 usb wifi adapter and i had 72

rocky creek
#

Congratulations, you configured something horribly wrong then

green stream
#

could be ethernet drivers too

#endtheuseofproprietarylaptopchargersandjustmakethemallusetheusbcprotocol

#

apple did it

#

no clue why others can't either

#

hell razer did it

rocky creek
#

Because some cant

#

Like most laptops that need over 100w

#

Which is most laptops that arent using u series cpus and igpu

minor crypt
#

that's what dual charging is forrrrrr

#

but it's ok i digress

rocky creek
#

I sell laptops that use 500w lol

#

And id rather plug in one cable

dense ember
#

turns out its fine

#

i just didnt know if the voltage should come through the possitive polarized point

#

also extra current doesnt affect the system

my laptops charge goes down in just 5 or 3 hours

rocky creek
#

Maybe run it in battery safer 24/7

#

coarse orchid
#

but it will be slow and i am using for online classes

dense ember
#

mebish the best thing to do if it is gaming or some intensive task is to plug it to the charger for that

chrome will use 100% ram

but if power goes

100%? how much does it have?

coarse orchid

$200 in my country is quite a budget for students

i got a virus on the first day the shop used a infected usb to install antivirus

Went to crazy bob’s warez site

#

many programs did not work for 1 month then i downloaded some other software to recover them

#

my pc is very slow but now for a month it is fast this happens everytime up down up down

#

viruses are bad it did corrupt some of system files

rocky creek
#

Sounds like ur pc is just bad

#

You can try tweaking your install, throwing a light distro on it, you have options

#

Just not many

okay, should I switch back to Chrome or are there alternatives?

rocky creek
#

Iridium if you dont know how to compile ungoogled chromium

#

Or just chrome yeah

coarse orchid
#

i found the virus in the dell folder

#

is it the company or antivirus dont know

rocky creek
#

Youll get the most out of that trash pile if you throw a light distro on it

#

Windows isnt meant to run on less than 8gb

coarse orchid
#

kaspersky uses the most ram and cpu

rocky creek
#

Lmao kaspersky is fine for the most part

coarse orchid
#

the pendrive they used to install kasperky had the virus i think

rocky creek
#

Thats on them

coarse orchid
#

it showed the virus in the action center then it rebooted and went to black screen for a hour i was scared then my father pressed f5 then it came

rocky creek
#

Lmao howd you get the “virus” anyways

coarse orchid
#

i did not bring the laptop from the shop my father brought it he does notknow about pc

#

the shop did something

#

they said to reinstall windows

rocky creek
#

Then reinstall windows

coarse orchid
#

i have to go to the shop to do that i know to do but the shop only we have to do the shop is so far. to go is bad in covid times

radiant spade
#

not very familiar with laptops but i recently ordered a mid range laptop on newegg that seems to be able to charge but is unable to power on. Do I conclude that the mobo is dead before or after failing to connect it to a 3rd display?

the thing's still within the return policy i just hope there's something i can do to salvage the thing and avoid the painful process of requesting a return through newegg support

@jagged iron vega mobile isnt gonna push anything at 144hz omegalul

But itll work with the monitor and you can use the display when you upgrade

What is a good WiFi card for my b450 max

calm mural
#

my ram says "Intel XMP 2.0 Ready" on it which would mean that I got intel specific ram right?

#

its trident z neo

#

on the newegg listing it said for amd systems

#

so did i order the wrong type of ram or did newegg just send me the wrong type?

void pawn
#

AMD vs INTEL ram is marketing hype

#

It'll work with either

calm mural
#

but the ram is running capped at 2133 mhz

#

and its advertized for 3600

#

and xmp doesnt work

#

ive tried 3200 as well

green stream
#

Look for a xmp or docp setting in bios

calm mural
#

i did

sturdy jolt
#

Try manual if xmp doesn't work

#

Wait, what cpu and motherboard?

calm mural
#

3600xt

#

b550 pro4

green stream
#

Hmmm

sturdy jolt
#

Manually set freq, primary timings, and voltage?

calm mural
#

no, im not sure what any of that should be set to

sturdy jolt
#

So 3600mhz, 16-19-19-19-39 for primary timings, and 1.4v dram voltage

calm mural
#

alright i’ll try that

sturdy jolt
#

On and command rate you'll prob want to set to 2t to start off, the rest should do fine left on auto

calm mural
#

i don’t see anything for command rate

#

would that be in the same section as the dram stuff or a different one

sturdy jolt
#

eh, could ignore to start off, it'll be in the spd or advanced dram settings bit.

calm mural
#

bruh i need a bios update i’m literally dumb

void pawn
#

ye

calm mural
#

it’s on v 1.20 and the latest is 1.7

#

how tf did i not notice lmao

calm mural
#

ah yeah the command rate thing is on the new bios at least

#

praying this works

#

it’s still showing as 2133 mhz

rocky creek
calm mural
#

any other suggestions?

rocky creek
#

what cpu?

calm mural
#

5600xt

rocky creek
#

huh

#

should be no issue there

calm mural
#

i’m dumb

#

3600 xt i mean

rocky creek
#

you mean 3600x?

calm mural
#

the 3600xt

rocky creek
#

huh TIL thats a thing

#

nice

calm mural
#

lol

rocky creek
#

im guessing you tried xmp

calm mural
#

yeah

rocky creek
#

and manual setting?

calm mural
#

yeah

#

trying at 3200 mhz

#

still stuck at 2133

#

pain

#

honestly i don’t notice it being slow or anything i’m just kinda pissed that i spent $95 on 16gb of 3600 mhz ram that only runs at 2133 mhz

rocky creek
#

return?

calm mural
#

i dont have the original packaging :(((

#

i think newegg must have sent me the wrong ram

#

even if the part they got wrong literally doesnt matter

#

so i might be able to return on that basis

#

but i wont be able to use my pc until i get the other ram in

#

and with neweggs crappy shipping thatll be weeks

rocky creek
#

get money back from newegg and just grab it from amazon

#

get that prime shipping

calm mural
#

you right

#

imma see if i can fix my ram and if i cant then ill return and get new ram

rocky creek
#

yeah thats what id do

#

idk possible you just got a bad kit i guess

calm mural
#

yeah possibly

void pawn
#

What motherboard?

#

Did you update your BIOS?

#

Change the LOAD XMP setting from Auto to XMP 1 or XMP2

#

Then change DRAM frequency to match your ram

#

@calm mural

calm mural
#

nvm i got it :)

#

i literally just had an outdated bios and put the ram in the wrong slots

#

i promise i read the manual it just didnt say which slots to put the ram in

rocky creek
#

lol

void pawn
#

Yeah, best practice

#

start farthest from the CPU, skip a slot, install the next one

that adapter has a 25w adapter on it

Anyone know of any refurbished server models with enough space for a few GPUs? I’m trying to put something together to add to my homelab but I’m only seeing brand new equipment everywhere I look.

#

Looking to put in a few K80 Tesla cards and a few Xeon Phi coprocessors in the system. 2 of each preferably.

rocky creek
#

youd probably be looking at a whitebox if you want that much pcie

#

generall dell's 20 series is the homelabber's server of choice, 30 series is significantly more

#

id just get a rackmount case with the specs you want and throw together a whitebox sys

#

how many pcie cards we talkin?

tawny scroll
#

4-6. Not many.

#

But definitely going to be a bit of a power hog in terms of draw.

rocky creek
#

yeah i cant think of any normal chassis that do that

#

cause phi is dual slot

#

i know that if you end up going with anything modern i can help u out for cpu lmao

#

but id just run a standard board or smth

#

i dont think theres a cheap way to do what ur doing

tawny scroll
#

Crap.

rocky creek
#

yeah im sorry :((((

#

generall like

#

2 gpu is fine

#

but 6?

#

wew

#

youd need a 4u chassis

tawny scroll
#

Figured.

rocky creek
#

maybe supermicro has one but from what ive seen theyll easily be around the 1.5-2k mark for the chassis alone

tawny scroll
#

Yeah, I’d like to stay away from that massive price point.

rocky creek
#

get smth like this and throw a threadripper/epyc board in there

#

youll want to be looking for a mining chassis

tawny scroll
#

I might just get 2 servers and just put a Xeon phi in each one.

#

Not looking for a huge cost to my wallet.

rocky creek
#

why phi?

#

always interested to see what ppl do with those wacky things

#

i sell a few but not many

#

ahhh

tawny scroll
#

Dirt cheap and running heavily multithreaded tasks.

rocky creek
#

i found your white whale

#

i think

#

look for a precision 7610

tawny scroll
#

Will do.

rocky creek
#

only 3 gpu but its 2u

tawny scroll
#

That will certainly work.

rocky creek
#

youll be looking at v2 xeons as well

#

and ddr3

tawny scroll
#

That makes it easier as well.

rocky creek
#

but that also keeps the cost nice and low vs the ddr4 stuff out there

#

you already have the phi?

tawny scroll
#

Not yet.

rocky creek
#

i have a 7220p for sale rn lol

#

got 3 of em

tawny scroll
#

Christ. What are the specs on those ones?

rocky creek
#

68 cores

#

1.4ghz

tawny scroll
#

That ain’t too shabby.

rocky creek
#

yeah

#

sadly, also aint too cheap keeeek

#

lokin at 750 per

tawny scroll
#

I know. They are very expensive.

#

I was looking at the low end ones.

#

40 - 60.

rocky creek
#

icic

#

ill be honest

#

you know how to like

#

compile stuff to run on them?

tawny scroll
#

The essentials, yes. The practicality, not yet.

rocky creek
#

because

#

here tell me what you plan on doing with them

tawny scroll
#

Planning to set up a docker container service and divvying up the cores and resources to host some applications I’m working on.

#

Cheaper than running a full server with extremely high core count.

rocky creek
#

thats rly cool but

#

they dont really do that i dont think

#

theyre self contained

#

i wish they did that

#

lol

tawny scroll
#

They run internal compiled code written in C and C++.

tawny scroll
#

Dang.

#

I thought they did.

#

I might just have to get one and see what sort of services I write for them.

rocky creek
#

thats the spirit

#

keep me posted Nep_wink_FB

tawny scroll
#

They do accept compiled C++ code correct?

rocky creek
#

full honesty? i sell em

#

i dont work on them

#

looks like yes

tawny scroll
#

Do they use a protocol to talk to the Host Os or are they self contained?

rocky creek
#

again these are probably better questions for google

#

hehehe

#

im more HW

#

i know they basically behave like a separate pc you ssh into for lack of a better way to explain

#

and that they dont have any permanent storage

#

imagine any old PCIe based FPGA

tawny scroll
#

That is fine.

rocky creek
#

sassy probably knows more abt these

eager bison
#

they arent meant to run things like docker and operating systems

#

they can only because its literally just a modern x86 cpu

rocky creek
#

theyre meant for ai stuff iirc

#

or insane number crunching

#

almost useless in labs

tawny scroll
#

As long as I can send and receive data from them, I can use them for heavy tasks such as rendering and system automation.

rocky creek
#

and what they used to do has been replaced by modern gpus

#

its why the low end ones are dirt cheap

#

not even labbers want them

eager bison
#

think of it like a GPU but with different instruction sets. you use GPUs for rendering images and other maths that take advantage of the instructions they have. Xeon Phi cards are the same way

#

they have instuction sets that programs can use

#

because of the cost and usability barrier, not many programs use them tho

#

so its very application specific

rocky creek
#

smartest way to get several threads to run containers in is to just get some high core count xeons in a 4 socket board

eager bison
#

^

rocky creek
#

or just bite the bullet and grab an epyc cpu and board

#

which id be happy to help u with

tawny scroll
#

I was planning on using them to act as additional cores for tasks, however, based on the way you two have described them, I could actually use them to help with tasks for a game server such as player interaction calculations.

rocky creek
#

sort of but the other issue is

#

everything runs in a ramdisk basically

#

just pray to the uptime gods or you have to reconfig everything

eager bison
#

if you yourself are writing x86 code in order to utilize AVX instructions to do calculations en masse, then the xeon phi are fantastic, otherwise, dont waste your time

tawny scroll
#

That is fine. As long as I can preload them with scripts from the main OS using stuff like LUA and Python.

eager bison
#

if you wanna meme around with some cheap ebay hardware and learn a thing or two, they're good for that too

tawny scroll
#

That too.

rocky creek
#

or if u have $2.8k i can get u a nice 64 core epyc

Even though I’m in IT it annoys me with how little I know about all the server hardware such as the models and recommended equipment.

#

Now the more exotic stuff, I just really enjoy that.

rocky creek
#

you want the cheat sheet?

tawny scroll
#

Please.

#

I need it.

rocky creek
#

r or t is rack or tower, 1-9 is tier, 1-4 is gen (1 is 11th gen) and 0 is intel 5 is amd

#

so a t720 is an intel based tower server on gen 12

tawny scroll
#

I’ll look at both but I’m probably going to go for rack equipment for saving space in my office.

rocky creek
#

thats how to do it

#

please dont hesitate to ask questions in dms and whatnot

#

i love helping newer ppl :)))

tawny scroll
#

Will certainly do.

rocky creek
#

and if u need a thinkpad u know who to talk to

tawny scroll
#

I have one more question though, K80 or 2 K40s?

rocky creek
#

depends on a lot of things tbh

#

mostly what ur doing with them

#

i have some k20s lol

#

rly trying to get rid of em tbh

#

teslas r fun tho

tawny scroll
#

I’m mainly working on developing software and could really use the extra compute power in the back end to help with system wide performance.

#

Mainly some MMO based games and also a lot of 3D rendering.

rocky creek
#

icic

tawny scroll
#

I don’t need the rendering all the time but it will definitely help for that purpose.

rocky creek
#

what u running?

#

nvidia licensing is weird

tawny scroll
#

I’m developing everything from scratch.

rocky creek
#

not gonna make ur own hypervisor tho lol

#

which is more what i meant

#

haha

tawny scroll
#

Not really.

#

Could, but wouldn’t be worth the effort on a headless server.

rocky creek
#

id say shoot for whatevers cheaper

#

k20s are super cool tho u should def get some from me

tawny scroll
#

Possibly. What is your mark for them?

rocky creek
#

the k20s?

#

80 each

#

now i do have some absolute cuties for sale

#

if you want a p10 or a m60

tawny scroll
#

I might. How many cuda cores and VRAM?

rocky creek
#

this has all the specs

#

not the card tho

#

card is HP OEM

#

so itll play syper nice with ur server keeeek

#

non HP stuff on HP servers will make them max the fans

tawny scroll
#

Christ.

#

No thanks. It’s already loud enough hence the reason I’m searching for the hardware I am.

rocky creek
#

so yeah ill do 80 each if you buy both

#

yeah im saying like

#

my cards are from HP

#

theyll purr in your server

#

i just grabbed PNY's specs cause the specs are identical lol

tawny scroll
#

I only have one 4X slot on this machine.

oh dear omegalul

rocky creek

if ur looking for some k80s though

i can ask my suppliers

tawny scroll

Looks like I’ll be putting together an X79 system for the tasks I have in mind.

Probably the 5th.

rocky creek

lmk when and i can start the process

tawny scroll

Certainly.

rocky creek

and by passive i mean its one of these

Yup.

I don’t mind getting it separately, just want to double check.

Hey, I had a quick question about the Game Launcher (specifically on Galaxy S8) and figured the people here would be most likely to have ideas. So I enabled the game launcher and it promptly decided to automatically move all game icons into the game launcher, without asking me first. I then went into settings to disable that, bringing all of them back to my app list page. However, it just put them all at the end in alphabetical order. I had them interspersed throughout other apps across 9 different pages. There was no particular order either, but I had memorized it over the years and am used to it. Does anyone know anyway to undo all this, or will I have to try to put them back manually?

I"m new here. I have a question for someone that's smarter than me.
I have dual monitors connected to a hub. I do not want to change the wiring/connection (work related)
I want the USB C wire that comes from the hub to go into the switch. From the switch, I'd like 2 USB wires that connect to each of two laptop computers.

  • 1 USB C between the hub and switch
  • 2 USB C output ports that connect to either of two computers.
    Where can I find that switch -- almost all seem to be oriented towards other connections, such as Display port, USB, etc.
sturdy jolt
#

hm

#

Now that I think about it

#

depending on what the hub takes ofc, could be usb-c

golden phoenix
#

Perfect. Mouse doesn't matter too much. The mouse works on both already via Bluetooth. My keyboard dongle is plugged into the hub. The first diagram is exactly what i need.

#

So, I suppose it's finding the correct KVM switch.

sturdy jolt
#

@golden phoenix Here's the thing, I think you'd have to use a KVM switch since you can't share a mouse&keeb&display between PCs easilyotherwise

#

but yea

golden phoenix

The Logitech mouse has a button that swaps between devices.

sturdy jolt
#

oh interesting

golden phoenix
#

I think that might work. Look like two USB-C ports, which I assume is one for each of my computers. But I'd have to switch to HDMI to take the stich back out to the hub.

oh.. I see the USB C power input also (i'm slow)

I think you got it. Thank you.

9900k is still slightly relevant because of the high multicore performance you get for 300$

Good afternoon. I am trying to connect an old Laser printer with a laptop wirelessly. The Laser has an ethernet port for data. What type of hardware would work?

void pawn

Plug the printer into your router or modem. There's no way to add WiFi to something like that.

keen ore
#

The laser engraver is in my garage for ventilation. So it is not close to the router modem or computers. I have always had to take my laptop out and plug it in to the printer to transfer design print data.

echo parrot
#

thats the only way to do it then

void pawn
#

I mean, you MIGHT be able to add a WAP out there?

#

and plug the printer into that?

#

Provided your WiFi signal reaches the garage, that could work

#

@keen ore

keen ore
void pawn
#

FOr the cost of that startech, I'd get the one from Newegg

keen ore
#

Would something like that Startech work? Receive the wireless signal and then send it to the laser?

What I linked from Newegg is cheaper and guaranteed to work. i don't like the Startech because it has no external antenna and the signal would probably be questionable

river rune
#

So i think my computer is crashing because it’s a mb issue

Which means it's likely not your motherboard

keen ore
#

I think the one you linked to was from Amazon. That's why I got the two confused. I agree the Netgear is probably a lot better choice,. Thanks!!

void pawn
#

It's either the GPU itself or drivers

river rune
#

I don’t get a error

#

It just goes into a restart cycle

void pawn
#

Oh my apologies, it was Amazon!

#

Sorry

river rune
#

Like I hit the restart button on my computer

#

No error

#

Just back screen

#

And then everything turns back on

#

So idk if that’s more common with mb cpu or gpu
