manufacturing boards can be done with machines but you still need a goon to load it and QA/QC it

[potent arrow]

Shove it into a testing jig

[boreal surge]

Fair enough

[potent arrow]

Do it faster or we send you to the intel slave basement where they clip plastic tabs off the included fans.

[odd sand]

I've got a friend that helps do board layout, but they aren't doing stuff with cutting edge litho. Probably still doing like 14nm or something

[umbral moss]

at the end of the day, a huge chunk of the price inflation people are bitching about is because factories shut down for covid and all the inflated items are things that can only be made in person

[odd sand]

Which makes sense tho since their thing is making electronics that survive extreme heat/cold or shock

WFH baker pls

[potent arrow]

Mmmmm

[umbral moss]

but WFH jobs get paid gross amounts of money to tap at a keyboard all day, so they don't understand why things are getting so expensive

[potent arrow]

ironic because the same people complain about not being able to wfm

[odd sand]

I think it all depends on the job. Part of WFH was pointing out how many jobs didn't need to be in-person to do the same work, and in many cases you're more productive bc you aren't being looped into meetings for no reason all day, and randomly having ppl knocking on your door to chat for 5mins 10x a day

[umbral moss]

sure, but getting paid $200k+ is a bounty to get people to congregate in silicon valley

[odd sand]

Well yes, getting paid 100% the same as someone in SV doesn't make sense

[umbral moss]

expecting $200k to live in bumblefuck alabama is like, grossly distorting how much liquidity is out there

which is exactly what happened when the faang companies said you could wfh, they all fled to cheap suburbs or states

with huge amounts of excess liquidity since they're getting paid like silicon valley

[boreal surge]

Well I won’t deny I felt software engineering is overpaid and overblown. But hey everyone’s out there trying to make the world a worse place in the first place. Might as well enjoy what you can

[odd sand]

I took a pay cut moving to WI from CA but it was not totally CoL adjustment drop

[boreal surge]

They do adjust wages for remote work, by how much lower idk

[odd sand]

I took like a 10k cut but a full CoL adjustment would have been more like 20-25k lower

[umbral moss]

I'd love to never have to commute to my job 😔

[sly elk]

yea that kinda shit ends up burning us hard later on

it already is with fabs

the whole

"oh TSMC can't just build fabs in the US because you guys don't have people who know how to operate them and don't have the kinda engineers that you need"

right! It's not because americans are too dumb. It's because the companies don't wanna pay americans to do that

so the people smart enough to do that, go work for google or something and make 300-500k/year

as for the getting paid high salary vs cheap cost of living location

it's a very screwy supply vs demand game

I really don't think it's wise to argue things like "don't move to Wisconsin if you wanna keep getting paid a high salary because COL!" because as an engineer I'd be shooting myself in the foot saying that

why would I ever advocate for people to get paid less?

that's a horrible idea.

the way the prices of everything keep going up and up and up and never going down

you should always advocate to improve income lol

[umbral moss]

yeah, but then the bootlickers come out and shout you down saying that more money will bankrupt the entire economy

only CEOs can get paid more

peasants should get paid bullshit and like it

[umbral moss]

lmao, imagine TSMC paying US engineers proportionally what they pay their engineers in taiwan

[sly elk]

my argument is that intel and to some degree, the US gov, should be trying to change that situation as hard as possible

it may end up sounding like a foolish waste of R&D $$ but

[umbral moss]

CHIPS bill

[odd sand]

Yeah realistically if I wasn't brought on by my friend I would probably have jumped to another company bc I've been there 3 years now and only getting 5k more than I started

[sly elk]

I.. don't think that bill stipulates actually trying to attract more people

[umbral moss]

I'm only making a little over double what I made in 2008

[sly elk]

like in an ideal world I think those companies should be trying very hard to recruit the EEs that are working as software engineers

and anyone else with any other degree with things like free training/education

[odd sand]

Part of the reason is supposedly in Y2 of the contract more money is supposed to be opened up as they overhired a bit at the start expecting attrition. So Y2 of the contract has more money for raises as some ppl have quit

[umbral moss]

hardware EEs get different training/education than software EEs though

[sly elk]

I'm well aware of the difference

<- has a computer engineering degree

at my uni there were a half dozen EE specializations

CE was basically EE/digital systems with extra requirements

very few people bothered going all the way with device physics and vlsi and other chip design stuff because it just doesn't pay lol

[umbral moss]

who doesn't love to get paid $75-80k a year working 60 hours a week on a double shift line

[potent arrow]

Yeah, hardware EE we are alphas and god and software eats glue.

[sly elk]

whatever you say lol

I found device physics fascinating but didn't continue since I didn't think it was worth the career prospects

tbh I'm pretty happy working on the stuff i work on. though 😉

what people think it's like to work in Information Security

https://tenor.com/view/please-dont-do-that-beg-no-stop-gif-14768042

what it's actually like

[sly elk]

that is.. definitely what I imagined

[odd sand]

Yeah I haven't done much driving in the last 3 years

Although I guess I compensated by going on a number of longer trips, so I've actually put more miles on in the last year than expected

I blame the drive to Tahoe being like 5hrs or so. It being in the same state distorts your sense of distance Bc like atm if I go to Gencon in Indianapolis that is like a 5-6hr drive and that seems soooo far away

Now if ppl will just let you send kids out to play without getting CPS called, think of all the extra time in a day regained /s

[modest moss]

return all the drives, buy a single 8tb nvme, ez

[odd sand]

Put like 10k miles on the first year I owned the Stinger. Although the 2 years before that with the Mazda I think I maybe did 6k lol

[sly elk]

I'd be yeeting that motherboard by now >>

no seriously, I would

OOOO YOUR ICON!

Ponta 💛

in Ice's case there's a pretty well known issue with z690 and multiple nvme so I'd be surprised if it was a power issue

[modest moss]

I have an asus z690 board with 2x nvme, wonder if mine will start vanishing

my suggestion was semi serious

you said you can't return the mobo but you can return the drives

buy a single huge nvme

[dull garnet]

nice pc

does your pc work Shue

[sly elk]

8tb is kinda expensive though, like $1.50/tb?

[modest moss]

yeah it's great so far thanks

[sly elk]

on the plus side, it'd be a lot easier to do that, than it would to get a new motherboard

[modest moss]

and yeah it'd probably cost him at least a few hundred extra

just might be a solution

My friend, it seems you're about to dive down a deep deep rabbit hole

Godspeed

Take it away, Ice

my Asus z690 and 2x nvme seem fine, I almost want to try and replicate your errors

[sly elk]

one suggestion

would be to go back to the PSU's original 24pin cables

maybe swap all the cables out for a day or two and see if the crashes go away

[dull garnet]

honestly i'd only trust oem cabling

[modest moss]

you'd be a fool not to rule it out

[odd sand]

Maybe load them into a riser card in a x8 slot instead? Or would it have the same problems?

They said they won't allow you to exchange the board? Or did you do that and the new board has the same issues?

Ask them if you can exchange for a different SKU then

[modest moss]

I read xmp 1 is more stable/tested

[dull garnet]

yes

[modest moss]

feeling hashtagblessed that mine is stable after 2 weeks

[sly elk]

it's just a process of elimination to make sure

[modest moss]

I read xmp1 is the settings that asus has tested

I'm not THAT interested in replicating it

[sly elk]

is the auto overvolting all that big a deal?

aside from producing extra heat?

[dull garnet]

this all sounds fucked tbh

shouldn't be necessary

[modest moss]

honestly first thing I'd do is run the stock cables

[sly elk]

yea there's probably a miniscule difference running XMP vs stock JEDEC timing anyway

[dull garnet]

some nice ddr3 you have there

[modest moss]

Ice, next time, Alienware

ask him for the GPU story

[sly elk]

yea, though I'd still be surprised if that was causing the instability

-checks his own-

[modest moss]

but that won't have been loose since the nvmes started yeeting

[sly elk]

that again doesn't surprise me

overvolting is to help stability with OCing isn't it?

[modest moss]

maybe, could get lucky

[odd sand]

Will Win10 fully support the CPU features for the new Intel CPUs or are they going to pull that nonsense where you need to be on the newest OS to use all the features?

[dull garnet]

return it

get a different board

what?

the fuck

[modest moss]

have asus support had nothing useful to say?

what a bios update?

[dull garnet]

are trading laws fucked in canada or something?

like this board clearly isn't fit for purpose

[odd sand]

Just sell it on Amazon then and buy a different SKU

[modest moss]

chargeback time

[dull garnet]

round 2

[modest moss]

Icehunter Strikes Chargeback

mine are probably all auto too

turn on xmp, play games

[dull garnet]

basically my only bios setting

and disabling onboard audio

[modest moss]

xmp1

[sly elk]

sheeesh

viktor thanks for your education on this topic 🙂

I will revisit my motherboard's voltage values later lol

[modest moss]

Viktor reminding me of that Psycho guy with this level of detail

Psycho was a username btw, not a judgement lol

he was into extreme overclocking, hung out here a while

[dull garnet]

that was very common in overclocking back in the day

[modest moss]

he was a bit of an OC madlad tbh, had world records in some stuff

[dull garnet]

disabling all the power saving features

[odd sand]

Thanks for warning me off of getting any Asus rog motherboard now when I do my upgrade tho /s

[dull garnet]

i will buy msi again

[sly elk]

word lol

[dull garnet]

long as they release a white one eh? ;)

always the way :p

for my board they had to simplify the bios to continue fitting it on the bios chip and support more modern microcode

[modest moss]

just sitting here with default kit, no rgb, no errors

[dull garnet]

the max variant addresses that but i'm real happy they continued to support my board

[sly elk]

I think that motherboards with black accents will still probably look fine in a white case/build with white accessories

[dull garnet]

tape the ports and use white plasti dip

[sly elk]

lol I think it'd look better as-is

but I fall into the 'all pc parts are beautiful' category so I don't really care about mix-matching

so I couldn't resist and I bought myself one of those new-in-box trashcan mac pros

they of course shipped it fedex.........

hope they don't trash the poor trashcan

[dull garnet]

aren't those still really expensive?

like I swear a used basic one was still 4 figures

apple

high 3 figures

[sly elk]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/195159317235

[dull garnet]

wow

considering it is new

good price

[sly elk]

yea, I know it's old af by now (they still sold them until 2019 though so, it's probably not a 9 year old unit)

[dull garnet]

love the design of those

such a cool design

[sly elk]

i spent like a week thinking about it

but I'm falling into "shit I'd buy more if I had a need for more computers" lol

true but it's still supported

it won't run ventura but it runs everything up to that

[dull garnet]

vintage hw is cool now btw

[sly elk]

and there's still 2 years of security updates for the current OS

[dull garnet]

😎

[sly elk]

and usually even then, it's pretty safe to keep using those soooo

[dull garnet]

perfect for Halo and

[sly elk]

-shrug-

[dull garnet]

uhh

Warcraft 3

[sly elk]

I already have a very nice desktop that I plan to continue upgrading lmao

[dull garnet]

driver support hardly matters

[sly elk]

as for the 2019 mac pro

the base model uses a fucking rx580 I think

[dull garnet]

imagine buying a 2019 mac pro

lemao

[sly elk]

oh they switched it out with a w5500x

still nothing to write home about

w6900x is a $5400 option

oh hardware-nerd-wise I adore the 2019 model as well

if you look only at the specs on paper (xeon, 5500x, ram, ssd) it's an awful awful deal hahaha

[dull garnet]

yeah but that isn't cool

[sly elk]

but it is a machine with a like $1500 motherboard and a probably $1000 case

we could tlak all day about how nobody needs a $1000 case and hardly anyone needs a $1500 motherboard

[dull garnet]

you don't need more than $100 of either

[sly elk]

it and the trash can were definitely the result of too many yes-men

but I still enjoy admiring them

from the hardware nerd point of view the trash can's a beautiful little machine

the cheese grater is sexy

[dull garnet]

such a cool design

[sly elk]

it's the computer equivalent of buying a n embody chair when you could pay half as much and get a steelcase gesture and have the same basic performance

yup

the trash can's competition

yea lol

[dull garnet]

we had one of these into the store i used to work in, i was tempted to take it

[sly elk]

and I mean, those towers have their own pros like fucking 5.25" drive bays <3

[sly elk]

IDK about the hp but I am not a fan of the dell version 😦

dell thermals suck

[dull garnet]

strap a fan in it

eh my 3060 ti is fine

[modest moss]

I am ready to ignore price changes as much as possible

I mean, I bought a 3070ti FE at msrp 3 weeks ago, so I'll definitely ignore prices lol

[odd sand]

Yeah atm I honestly dont know what to expect. Like if ppl looking for a card should buy now or wait for 40 series

The realist in me says since Nvidia is bloating the cards for the 40 series, they're probably going to set the MSRP at like 30% higher than 30 series even if they're swimming in cards

[dull garnet]

i haven't even played a 3d game on my pc in like 3 months

[sly elk]

So like 3 Ugga Duggas?

[modest moss]

I should actually benchmark mine at some point

My gpu sure gets hotter than that though

Is cinebench free?

is that the lad?

do I just click start on multicore?

you mean minimum test duration off?

multi or single?

multi?

[hard drift]

it's more expensive though

and using hbm3 or whatever nvidia would surely charge that much more if they did

[modest moss]

is it meant to be that fast?

[hard drift]

i mean can't compare new tech to old stuff for cost

[modest moss]

it says 22888

[hard drift]

professional only

it makes 0 sense for consumers

the gains are too low and people wouldn't pay the prices for it except the highest end pretty much

[modest moss]

@tame fulcrum is your shit still bluescreening

so you might be fixed?

next time maybe don't buy for aesthetics

[hard drift]

buying for aesthetics is literally the worst especially for a white build 🙏

[umbral moss]

why though, are you looking to break your CPU for epeen?

[modest moss]

73c here

oh up to 85c on Enhanced

that's enough for me

DTS temps are always a little lower than Enhanced

also would make sense for mine to throttle on a torture test, I'm on air and Ice is on fancy water shit

quite impressed how quickly cpu has gone back below 30c though

[umbral moss]

doesn't avx2 automatically force the multiplier throttle through the bios?

[willow comet]

what ram kit is this?

not unheard of xmp spec not being stable on corsair dimms / few other kits

might be able to loosen the subtimings leave primary alone and itll work perfectly fine

oof.. yeah corsair ram has never been great.. to be honest if the kit is new enough you can probably return and get a new kit or go through warranty send it back and let them send a new kit

dont risk overclocking and risk losing warranty options

[latent grotto]

Should've just bought g skill

[willow comet]

rip! yeah corsair is one of the few "big brands" that still doesnt sell consistently performing high performace kits of a ram especially for the rpice they sell them it its pretty wild... trident z all the way

their binning process must be terrible over there

[modest moss]

Nobody said these things when I was buying corsair ram a few weeks ago

[willow comet]

rip!

not many people in the ram oc field lol including me i am still noob

[modest moss]

I've never had issues with corsair tbh

And xmp1 seems fine

[willow comet]

ive had a good amount of problems with lpx in the past, and again problems like this are still a small percent case to case, but on a company wide perspective their return rates/failure rates of kits is actually a problem they should invest in fixing

[modest moss]

Maybe I just did a good job and also got lucky at picking parts that play nice together

I'm not doing anything extreme though

[willow comet]

yeah i mean its all luck of the draw lpx being some of the worst but even at that its only a 5ish % chance of getting a bad kit, its just all volume at which they sell 5% is really high

550$ dead kit

[modest moss]

Amd killed it

[willow comet]

their nicest ram should really have zero problem hitting xmp/above xmp even the cheapest crucial ballistix kits just about every single kit will hit far beyond xmp

trident z being one of the best kits for overclocking with samsung b.die

[modest moss]

I just don't have the energy to min max my rig these days

[willow comet]

yeah ram oc is awfully slow and boring

5hours - 2 days to get the most.. with a high chance of just killing the kit

but the most gains as well

but at this point 30 series gpu's and new cpu's give well enough performance that its not even worth the time

40 series right around the corner with double the performance rumors still holding true

[modest moss]

This new build seems stable, performs pretty well, got a decent cinebench score and doesn't explode running prime 95 so I'm content

[willow comet]

what hardware is it if you dont mind me asking?

[modest moss]

Lemme see if I still have the pcpartpicker url

[willow comet]

awesome

lol came here for ffxiv knowledge and i always end up talking tech

[modest moss]

[willow comet]

aye very nice, love the look of the nh-d15 and especially in the h510 flow all black everything looks great,

you should pickup the noctua chromax black covers for it i have pics of them on a black and white build i did for a friend

the caps are about 30$ iirc

they just slide over the cooler very easy to install

they come in black too

[modest moss]

I don't care about aesthetics in my computer at all tbh

[willow comet]

touche

[modest moss]

No rgb etc

[willow comet]

yeah no rgb for me here either but i do like aesthetics

[modest moss]

It's not in sight either

[willow comet]

My 2nd system (3090 is in my main computer but for the pic it’s in here)

[willow comet]

yeah fair

im ultra nerdy lol

[hard drift]

Anybody could have told you that

[willow comet]

yeah i mean. 12900k lol can't really get anything better than that rn xD

loool

yeah.. its pretty overkill for 99% of users

but depending on when you purchased might be late since amd pcu's releasing soon, and new intel 13th gen

pcmaster race and a lot of the tech specfic servers have build list shills

very very harsh on hardware purchased if its not absolute bang for the buck value

new amd probably not goign to be worth no matter how good the cpu is, they are ddr5 only motherboards and ddr5 still sucks especially for how expensive it is lol

[hard drift]

I mean if 13th gen leaks are true you’re losing a lot not using ddr5

[modest moss]

At least Ice actually needs a chonky pc for work and has a decent amount of money

Can't believe I just defended Ice

[willow comet]

yeah that is very true

still not going to be in anones bang for the buck builds/value though

more for the enthusiast or higher end budget market

[hard drift]

It’d be a waste to go 13th gen and not ddr5 if they are true so i mean we’ll see in the end

[willow comet]

yeah for those going 13th gen very true, too bad most people that went 12th gen got ddr4 boards not expecting the gains to be great with ddr5, but its also a much bigger investment for no real worthy gains on time of release of 12th gen

[modest moss]

I'm not a fan of looking at next gen, just buy the best thing you can afford when you need a new thing

[willow comet]

yeah im still on 5000 series amd back when 5950x came out, and 3970x for workstation as it was all the best at the time of building and i dont plan to upgrade until theres really a big step up thats worth the change / once my system feels dated and then ill repeat the process in probably another 2 years

i do upgrade gpu's but thats all

[hard drift]

I’m going to see how good/bad 7000 is before i decide, i kind of want to wait for 8000 though

[willow comet]

yeah when the tech jumps this high after 1 generation if you already have previous best wait for the new technology to be perfected (good ddr5 in this case in hopefully another year)

[modest moss]

Bidori you don't need to upgrade

Save your money

[willow comet]

enthusiast momento

[hard drift]

No 🙏 pc building is a hobby

[willow comet]

no such thing as "need" to get us to buy the new loot!

[modest moss]

Pay college tuition instead my dude

[hard drift]

Not a chance

It’d be a waste for me

[willow comet]

although im lucky enough to do commission builds for people on the high end so i can not spend my own money and still enjoy working with the new tech

[modest moss]

Sticking with dicks?

[willow comet]

wut

[modest moss]

Lol bidori works there

[willow comet]

oh

hahaha

[hard drift]

No, but idc for college

If i choose to do any schooling it’d be a trade

[willow comet]

i didnt do any college but i also want to do as little as possible for as much as possible

i can't see myself working in construction for high amounts of money

[modest moss]

That still costs no?

[hard drift]

100x less than college

[willow comet]

not college money lol

[modest moss]

Trade school I mean

Fair enough

[hard drift]

I could pay it in one paycheck pretty much

[modest moss]

Do it

[hard drift]

It’s a matter of focus and choosing something i like

I have neither for that

[willow comet]

in this job market right now trades are needed.. can actually make some insane money

[modest moss]

Will probably encourage my son to learn a trade rather than university, he's not as academically inclined as my daughter

[willow comet]

i work in the offices of a construction business some of our carpenters/foreman make 180k a year lol

plus all their benefits

[hard drift]

Yeah, trades can make some really good money

location matters though

wont make that in florida lol

[hard drift]

I’m set for location lol

[willow comet]

[fair parcel]

trade is the play anymore IMO

unless going for adv degree

[modest moss]

My son is only 10 though so we'll see

[willow comet]

or really self driven

[modest moss]

His ideal job right now is building lego displays lol

[fair parcel]

lol

that's the dream

[willow comet]

thats good for the brain lol

[hard drift]

Master lego builder 🙏

Real job but supposedly a pain in the ass

[modest moss]

I told him it's not impossible but he'd have to get lucky and have a backup plan

[willow comet]

i could imagine that being creatively exhausting at a point

[modest moss]

He'd hate that I think, but he's 10 so he'll probably change massively in the next few years

[willow comet]

alright people im outta here for now, going to get some lunch and finish up my friday here at the office so i can get gaming, im still super new to ffxiv only level 23 .. this weekend is grind time

[modest moss]

Get on that msq and don't be afraid to ask for help

[potent arrow]

this game SUCKS

I played 1 hour and QUIT

[modest moss]

[potent arrow]

TRUE FACTS

[willow comet]

yeah already got loads of help in the main chat

especially good advice on how to get a goobbue minion

thats the goal this weekend

but yeah taking my time through the msq's getting all the lore

i just require goobbue mount and minion

its gotta happen

[empty token]

anyone here with ipadOS16 beta?

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-5-7600x-6-core-raphael-cpu-is-up-to-22-faster-than-core-i9-12900k-in-leaked-single-core-test please be true 🙏

[umbral moss]

22% faster than intel, but at what cost 😔

[hard drift]

the cost of ddr5 🙏

i mean we can 100% assume it's lower power atleast

[umbral moss]

DDR5 finally catching up to DDR4 in performance?

[hard drift]

yeah, it's almost there

[umbral moss]

or is it still in that miserable "we're fucking around with board design trying to get the thing working in spec" stage

[hard drift]

probably a bit of both lol

[dull garnet]

new product faster than competitor old product is how it should be

[hard drift]

yeah

but the real question is how much faster will 13th gen be than 12th gen

especially since it's a tok architecture i don't think we'll see that big of gains

[umbral moss]

also especially since half the die is tied up in high efficiency cores

so there's no ornery V8 equivalent on intel's side

[hard drift]

yeah but who knows, maybe it'll pay off

need to see how the new i5 is

[umbral moss]

can't post the gifs but imagine the gif of the pig shitting on its balls

[hard drift]

i'd rather not

[umbral moss]

intel has a long way to go before they have engineering dominance again

[hard drift]

especially with the rumors about arc right now

[umbral moss]

they spent too long trying to strangle amd enough to stay market dominant but not so dominant that they get sued

amd has an extremely powerful poison pill so they can't even be bought out assuming they did shit the bed again

isn't dall-e open source?

just compile it yourself on your $25k machine

put that 3090 SLI to use

with all the broken parts you've put into it it cost $25k

I think the one on the left used the pogchamp guy as a reference

[deep sapphire]

its not

you cry about intel rumors

but post AMD

[dull garnet]

poggies

wanna trade pcs?

[hard drift]

[umbral moss]

what about the steam deck 2

is valve going to take 12 years to release that too?

[dull garnet]

more importantly the analogue pocket got a fw update

[umbral moss]

great for all 6 people who got one before they ran out of parts

I kind of wish someone would revive the nomad and let us play genesis emu on the go

I'm sure making a FPGA version of the genesis SOC has to have way better battery life

[dull garnet]

[umbral moss]

nintendo just waiting for nvidia to make another critical blunder with the shield tablet so they can get a fat discount scraping the serial numbers off

I mean, nintendo can update the switch whenever they please

it's not like they're hurting for sales or losing money on them

who wouldn't want to make money off the hardware too

I'm still salty that the dreamcast doesn't have a re-release in the cards

uh... that's around kepler?

the initial switch release was literally nintendo picking up all of nvidia's recalled shield tablets at a discount lmao

since that release was plagued with self destruct failures due to shit thermal management

nintendo just dropped the clock to a manageable level and called it a day

which is why it's like, 640p on a good day

[dull garnet]

switch is like the most boring nintendo hardware to me

[umbral moss]

#bringbackthejack

[sly elk]

idk I think it's very nintendo

[dull garnet]

i don't

[sly elk]

it's been out years and up until 3 months ago they were still going for MSRP, and they still haven't made a zelda exclusive for it 😄

I realize some people count BOTW as zelda for the switch, but that was a wii u title 😄

i think the problem is nintendo just... kinda sucks...

[umbral moss]

don't worry, the zelda exclusive will come out after the switch 2 ships

[sly elk]

hehe

if they catch up with steam deck orders

i wonder how well the steam deck will be selling next june

[modest moss]

steam deck isn't worth 500 quid to me

[sly elk]

so far valve has a great track record with selling hardware

first there was that creepy controller

then there was the tv streaming box

and then the valve index

[modest moss]

@tame fulcrum buy me a steamdeck babe

[sly elk]

valve has a habit of launching things with a lot of fanfare

that are quickly forgotten

[umbral moss]

google?

[sly elk]

HAHHAHAHA

yea but when steam makes a product they keep selling it/supporting it for a long time

google just abruptly kills shit

[dull garnet]

steam deck isn't really expensive when you look at its competitors

[sly elk]

the best thing you can hope for with a google product

is that they sell it before they get bored of it and kill it

[umbral moss]

like nik photo?

[sly elk]

ugh

[umbral moss]

which google bought for some unfathomable reason and they haven't done anything with?

[sly elk]

at least they didn't kill it like they did picasa

it irritates the shit out of me that they'd do that

"were just going to buy this thing and uh kill it lol "

apple likes doing that too though

i think siri was an android app, and there were several other android/ios apps where apple bnought the company and killed the android version

though apple also does the MS version

steals the idea and makes it part of their product

but then apple is evil because they'll ban the product from the app store for duplicating functionality

[modest moss]

yeah it's not bad if it's something you'll use a lot

[dull garnet]

That's the thing, doubt I would

[modest moss]

yeah same, that's why Ice is buying me one

[dull garnet]

you could edit spreadsheets on the toilet!

[umbral moss]

"try"

more like "silently do and pretend they don't"

he doesn't know duckduckgo uses microsoft's software

https://tenor.com/view/nelson-simpsons-laugh-gif-11243649

I knew a guy who worked on the search algorithm

[umbral moss]

[dull garnet]

$80,000 is approx how much ice has spent on his pc so far

well a rolex will appreciate while a tv won't

[hard drift]

A regular watch will still far outlast your phone if ever needed

[odd sand]

The only watch I would get at this point is one of those GPS ones for hiking bc its a lot more convenient to glance at the watch bc its handsfree

[dull garnet]

uwu

[hard drift]

Yeah, i want one too 🙏

[hard drift]

Not citizen 🤢

[dull garnet]

shitizen

[odd sand]

What do you mean?

[hard drift]

Pfft they last a long time atleast

[dull garnet]

glass side panel

[odd sand]

I assume you would have to get them a smartwatch with LTE and enable Google latitude on it. Battery life would theoretically last the day

Apple Tag them

The watch is probably ideal if you can trust them to keep wearing it and not fidget and take it off

The transponders have to be left in their bag or maybe sewn into a pocket on their outfits

Are you having her walk to school or something?

Well maybe the transponder is best then and just put it on them for field trips. At a certain age though I feel like that sort of thing is a violation of trust unless they know about it and are okay with it

[modest moss]

I'm reluctant to track my kids tbh

I can do android find my phone in an emergency on my daughter's but eh

[odd sand]

As I said, I think when they're very young its one thing, but by the time they're in the upper elementary grades it's a bit much

That's just the thing: The news pummels you, but the number of cases is actually way down

[modest moss]

that's the thing Ice, I don't want to project MY anxiety onto them, I want to equip them with confidence and common sense

[odd sand]

I understand the conflict between the logical and emotional sides tho

[modest moss]

it's hard though yeah

how old now?

[odd sand]

Import one of those Japanese child alarm buttons for her

[modest moss]

oh still easy mode lol

my daughter is 14 this year

trust me, 5 is cake compared to the anxiety of sending them out and about with other teenagers

nah, you gotta just keep them trusting you enough that they'll talk

just wait until you've had the 'joy' of dealing with her having to slap a boy because he grabbed her breast on international women's day, of all days

that's parental anxiety lol

[potent arrow]

Lol imagine trusting your parents

Could not be me

I'm in the the camp of all parents are shit 👼

[modest moss]

you can't do that when he's a ND kid and she doesn't want you to get involved

neurodivergent

[umbral moss]

you also need to teach your kids that ultraviolence is reserved for certain kinds of offenses

not every situation justifies taking out lucille

[modest moss]

like yeah I could have gone and caused a fuss, slapped the kid myself

[umbral moss]

but when she's thirsty, it better be for a reason

https://tenor.com/view/jeffrey-dean-morgan-smug-twd-negan-the-walking-dead-gif-9263025

[modest moss]

or I let her handle it and know I had her back, so she feels confident enough to handle whatever comes next if I'm not around

[modest moss]

shush you love me

[potent arrow]

Shue why can't you be my parent

[odd sand]

Ehh there are woodchips and kids bounce, its fine

When I went to elementary school we still had a 2-story metal slide and a firemans pole

So it was a good 7-8ft off the ground

[dull garnet]

Naughty Dog

[odd sand]

We'd still just jump off the platform for the firemans pole without using it half the time

[umbral moss]

we never had cool dangerous stuff at my elementary school 😔

[odd sand]

There was another structure that was about that high at the top with a central pillar with old tires bolted vertically at 90 degree angles you had to jump up or down otherwise open ground below it. There were wooden step platforms around the sides you could jump off the tires onto tho

[potent arrow]

We had those centrifugal spiny things

Not the merry go round

But the solo ones

We would try to spin people as fast as possible until their noses bled

It was kinda fucked

[odd sand]

They have a couple of those at a local playground I found, was actually surprised

[potent arrow]

Those things are so fucked

If you put a dirt bike on it's side

And the drive wheel on it

Holy shit you can really

REALLY yeet simeone

[odd sand]

There is one you just sit on and rotate, then there is this one where you have to rotate the top while spinning your hips as well, it's pretty fun

This is actually an older picture bc they added a whole new playground structure in that empty space in this pic

So both the top and bottom are rotating and since you have more stability you can really get spinning fast

Probably a twisted ankle waiting to happen but its fun

[devout nexus]

:3

[deep sapphire]

looks awful and you should feel awful for buying it

[devout nexus]

Haha how come?

That's weird first I've heard of it interesting

[odd sand]

Can you get the case without the tacky green tube on the front and the character logo on top? Bc otherwise it looks really nice

[devout nexus]

i cannot :/

its just a unique one they just dropped.

i was talking about ice, afaik he never had issues with the m.2 in the first slot 🙂 but you have spent a lot of time helping him so I don't think we need to revisit this 😄 you did awesome 😄

love how the most helpful nerd here has Ponta as their avatar 😄

yea I remember

I still need to get rid of auto on mine 😄

but my rig is almost 4 years old and hasn't had stability issues so

dayum

[burnt swallow]

[sly elk]

(I mean I did have stability issues but replacing my evga 750g3 with a corsair rm1000x fixed them)

the fun kinda failure

that's the "I bought my case from a seller on ebay and it came with a free brand x power supply!" failure

Is this where I can come to ask for advice on putting a PC together with PC Parts Picker

RTX 3090
Where in God's name did you get the money to afford that

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m3vgFg

This is my first time actually building a PC and not just buying a cheap pre-built or a laptop

[modest moss]

unsurprisingly, 1 & 2

the Noctua is working great for me

[burnt swallow]

The first two comments for the motherboard are issues about it

What's the performance difference roughly between 3060Ti and 3070/3070Ti?

Also isn't that Noctua just a giant fan

[modest moss]

it's a giant heatsink with 2 fans

keeps my 12700k at like 30c idle

[sly elk]

dual tower heatsink with 2 140mm fans? something like that

gotta point out though: that's the noctua NH-D15. They have other coolers that are different configurations.

[burnt swallow]

Oh

Will it even fit in my case then

[sly elk]

for example the nh-d12

and the NH-C14S

[modest moss]

check on the noctua website

[burnt swallow]

It doesn't even fit the damn socket type

[modest moss]

yes it does

[burnt swallow]

I lied

The kit for it got added in May

If their timeline is correct

[modest moss]

you just have to either make sure you buy from a seller who have latest stock, OR you contact noctua and they'll send you a bracket np

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/amd-passes-intel-in-market-cap/ar-AA106YMF @deep sapphire

probably a good time to invest in intel assuming they get their shit together real soon

[devout nexus]

i doubt it, there was rumors they cancelling their gpu division

probably cant compete, plus they stopped building 3d xpoint this week. they also having to oursource their chip production

[hard drift]

i don't doubt it but i think it'll take a while since they're doing a lot at once right now

[devout nexus]

short term MBA gutted it real good for short term gains and bonuses. i got a lot of faith in pat gelsinger but they basically ripped that companies guts out for a yacht

[deep sapphire]

YOU'RE LITERALLY LINKING THE BIGGEST IDIOT ON THE PLANET!?

[hard drift]

wait what?

it was just what popped up 😔 not a specific source

[burnt swallow]

Oh

How does it perform in terms of cooling though

Cause I'm planning to play me some Cold War Zombies with my dad

Oh

[hard drift]

it's rated for like 200ish watts, so it's pretty dang beefy cooling wise

[burnt swallow]

It's also half the price of what I chose damn

[hard drift]

wtf did you choose?

i mean they're still pretty solid

[burnt swallow]

This but a 3060 Ti instead of a 3070 Ti

Because 3070 Ti is expensive

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g4xnyK

[hard drift]

😔 this doesn't explain anything

i literally have 0 clue what he's talking about 😔

not really a release when it's only in like two places

plus they've been delaying it forever now so them cancelling it wouldn't be surprising

the igpus were shit anyways

yes but they're on an architecture they're moving away from completely

and the driver support was trash anyways

[burnt swallow]

What GPU card

Wut

Oof

[hard drift]

it was only in like china or something

it's not a full release

and it's been a while since they released it there and still haven't made it global

[burnt swallow]

Oofus

[devout nexus]

o interesting Viktor

let me check this article out

[odd sand]

Just pour an ice cold bath and sit in that all day instead of running the A/C taps forehead

[devout nexus]

news to me contradicts other videos i saw

dman thats sad

intel is also kind of missing the entire AI boat as well which is def th e future

without graphics cards to do linear algebra

GG intel honestly

i bet gov will keep them alive though

[burnt swallow]

What would be the AMD equivalent more or less to the i7-12700K and 3060 Ti?

[hard drift]

5800x3d and 6700xt

[odd sand]

Buying an AMD GPU...

[hard drift]

there is nothing wrong with it 😒

[odd sand]

the hardware no, the drivers yes =X

[hard drift]

the drivers literally aren't that bad anymore

unless they're going navi first gen

navi first gen was a shitshow, second gen is just fine smh

[odd sand]

Also I wouldn't say the 5800x3d is 12700k, that would be more like comparing to the 12900k

[autumn epoch]

!unmute 1001176480891543572

[opal panther]

Success!

@fringe tartan has been unmuted by @autumn epoch.

[autumn epoch]

yea

[hard drift]

considering the price it's close since you can get it on sale pretty regularly

[burnt swallow]

When did you even get muted

[hard drift]

i mean 12900k is a whole different price tier

[burnt swallow]

F

[odd sand]

It's interesting, the 3D vcache makes the 5800 do well in games, but it kills it in general performance. So if you onl ycare about gaming go for it

But if you want good performance outside of games, maybe go with a non vcache

[sly elk]

so the trick here

amd cpu, amd gpu 😄

best combo!

https://tenor.com/view/alexibexi-erklärbär-burn-it-down-burn-computer-gif-15856270

in a laptop!

i admit, the 5700xt was fun to play with

the 3080ti has felt the same, except it gives better fps 😉

but it consumes a stupid amount of power and produces a stupid amount of heat so, good nuff

[burnt swallow]

So apparently Amazon doesn't have the case I chose so can anyone recommend a case for a similar price

[hard drift]

https://www.newegg.com/p/2AM-000Z-00069

[burnt swallow]

I said Amazon for a reason

Also how does Radeon RX 6700XT compare to GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

I can get it for a little cheaper than the 3060 Ti

If it's comparable

[hard drift]

they're about the same the only benefit an nvidia card has is dlss if a game supports it

[burnt swallow]

I have no idea what that is

[hard drift]

an upscaling feature of the card that increases performance at a minimal loss of visual quality

[burnt swallow]

Sounds like something I don't really need

Do Radeon GPUs throw a fit when paired with Intel CPUs or not really

[hard drift]

i mean it helps if a game is really rough to run/raytraced but other than that not everything uses it so it's a matter of what you play

[hard drift]

no

[burnt swallow]

The only game I'd be raytracing if I ever buy it would be Minecraft

[hard drift]

i have 0 clue how that performs on amd or nvidia gpus aside from 20 series lol

[burnt swallow]

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X how would this compare to the i7-12700K

It's like $40 less than the i7

[hard drift]

it's slower but still a solid cpu

[burnt swallow]

How much slower

[deep sapphire]

Ooooooh banana

You can use addons to force MSAA and probably other less taxing methods

Nothing gives you a migraine harder than the trees shimmering

[hard drift]

depends on the title but i want to say worst case is like 12%ish

How good is the shipping from Newegg?

[jaunty light]

most of it ships from CA but it aint free usually

[hard drift]

It’s pretty decent, i use them over amazon since they’re usually cheaper

[jaunty light]

they charged me $8 fuckin dollars for a $300 PSU! what a rip off

[hard drift]

Especially since honey coupons work more often

[sly elk]

since i'm also in ca

sometimes newegg does next day delivery

in which case they use their own delivery service lol

that's cheap if it came from germany

[jaunty light]

yea with newegg I have a good shot of getting overnight for the price of cheap

[sly elk]

but isn't all your stuff corsair?!

[jaunty light]

but amazon usually uses their SB distro centers for me so i get it in a day or two

i'd cry if I added up my shipping costs from stuff I buy from japan

[sly elk]

i feel like

if you look at something enough on amazon

they pre-emptively ship it to a local facility lmao

ok idk if they actually do that, but it'd be cool if their logistics were that slick

[burnt swallow]

I'm in Hawaii so if they're in CA it shouldn't be too bad

[odd sand]

Sounds pretty normal for UPS/Fedex ground shipping. Especially for a $300 PSU bc I guarantee you that shit comes in a chonker box bigger than a GPU

Remember that free shipping from Amazon isn't free anyways, they just bake it into their prices

And also make their employees piss in bottles or get fired

So if you wonder why they have the margins to offer that... there you go

[jaunty light]

cant beefleaf you'd expose amazon like this

also, keyboard drawer desks tend to have such a small drawer that you have to use the mouse that way

actually yea

idk about regular screens but I've had that happen with my ultrawides

it's almost always a cable issue

and not a "your cable is broken" issue but something more along the lines of 'try turning the computer and the monitor off and turning them both back on"

which almost always fixes it

but like

my work mac laptop sleeps the screen after 3 mins of inactivity

so my screen would go to sleep like 20 times a day hahaha

so I get a lot of chances for things to go wrong and get sync'd in a fucked up way where half my screen starts spazzing and doesn't stop until I power cycle it

adding the kvm actually kinda fixed the problem!

since I bought a cable matters KVM and they make a lot of certified cables

[jaunty light]

is that just a drawing tablet they're using as a monitor

[sly elk]

and the cables that came with it are nice high quality certified cables

so it seemed to make the dock that I plug my laptop into very happy

instead of the off-brand 15ft cable I use from my desk to the kvm hahaha

ye honk, for sure

yea those fancy cables

geez the ones that came with my kvm aren't that fancy

try turning your screen off and back on

sigh

cable management xD

note the kvm just hanging back there lmao

i had it on top of the mac mini

but the weight of the cables pulled it off

does the lone engineer piss in the potted plant instead of taking bathroom breaks?

lol

idk what I can even do with so many exams, I guess I can also do the architect cert

keeping current—five additional certifications
nevermind wtf

idk why they still have this requirement because a lot of the openshift or ansible creds got baked into the RHCSA or RHCE tracks now

[sly elk]

[jaunty light]

Get ya company to pay it

i paid about that much for my 3080ti

now you can get a case and a psu with that too

and that case is really nice

[jaunty light]

tru

my contractor will only reimburse so they can get fucked

thankfully i inherit big navy stuff so I get all RHEL training free and all RHEL certs free as long as they have the contract

[sly elk]

the helio sgundam is better though

[jaunty light]

the engineer path seems kinda easy now since it's .. i think 100% ansible based?

[sly elk]

y

[jaunty light]

they legit just took the "automation specialist" cert and made it the RHCE cert

I mean I can write python (a little) still I just can't do math i'm too dumb

the timing of your response and my falling asleep at the idea of messing with ansible were impeccably timed

[jaunty light]
