Useless Thread MDCCLVIII: BLACKPINK fan chat

Why the hell would you not think I'm in lab. I'm in lab every ****ing day M-F now. I don't have time to deal with this crap.

Come on man, who are you trying to fool with the "I don't have time to deal with this" nonsense? Do you really think anyone on here is going to buy that?

hook your baby boi here with some of that JEDI contract work

Yeah I'm totally going to bat for someone that is so desperate to be the OP on a useless thread on a meaningless dead web forum that he spams hundreds of posts in a day, that makes sense.

My HTPC (yes I live in 2010) is (was) a little SFF OptiPlex 9xx with a half-height GT1030 for 4k@60hz. During the move, I guess that card shifted a bit and I set everything up last night, turned it on, and walked away for a couple hours. When I came upstairs (my office is in the basement now) I smelled some strong plastic/electrical fire, and kept hearing a "thump...thump...thump". I quickly determined it was the HTPC, and the fan of the GPU was hitting the power supply. It had worn through the sheath of the Dell's PSU and caused a bit of a short/meltdown. Mos the the graphics card was melted, and it seems like the whole PC was hosed (it won't turn on anymore).

So, that super sucks. Those PCs are cheap, but I had it setup nice with some upgrades (16gb ram, i5 3770s, 256gb samsung sata SSD, gigabyte GT1030 half-height) and I'm not sure if any of it is salvageable. Hopefully the CPU, ram, and SSD are still good so I can just order a cheapo replacement PC and a new GT1030

Who give a shit about anything over 60 fps. The eye can't detect it anyway.

Well maybe it can but it is apparently a myth. Who cares about anything greater than 60. Fps elitist.

 

[John Price]

I need to work on this web application. I will then go home at 5 to play the division 2.

See ya.

I've never seen someone strike up an argument with themselves mid-sentence like this. Neat.

True, because it doesn't exist

[John Price]

One more thing before heading out to lab: imagine practicing line brawls during practice. @Mantis how many times have you had to practice line brawls when playing your beer league hockey shit

 

[Mantis]

Stop pretending you are in some lab you imbecile. You are gonna go wander around the mall and eat at the food court then go home and crustify your stuffed animals until your parents take you to the Bruins Caps game.

HTPCs are a weird niche. When they're cheap, they have to compete with gaming consoles being so convenient and simple. When they're expensive, it's very tempting to just spend more money on better parts.

I tried an HTPC before, ended up just building a gaming rig for my living room. Has a 2700 and a 2070. It was overkill with a 1080p tv, but now with a 4k tv, it gets plenty of work.

I need to take the time to setup my Flirc and Harmony remote. That should make a huge difference.

i like it because i can use uorigin in conjunction with the pihole and it blocks all ads on youtube, and most on other cable streaming services I use that pollute the shit with pre-rolls. The pihole doesn't knock out all youtube ads on its own, so using the smart tv feature or console or whatever often leaves me wanting more. I also use it to stream music and all that stuff with a lot more ease. I just have a keyboard with a trackpad and it's easy as.

I always forget about ad-blocking. Yeah, full fledged PCs are definitely the way to go.

The new Xbox variants have 4k Blu Ray playback, but someone who doesn't care about games isn't going to want an Xbox. Even worse, they used to require an Xbox Live subscription to watch Netflix, which I think they stopped doing.

My new TV has all that smart nonsense and I haven't even connected it to my network. There's nothing the smart functions can do that my PC can't do better.
