full self driving is coming 2022, it's a beta because it's too good to just give out to people

Ever see replies to his tweets? 🤡

jaunty light
#

now what if we made this even better. by making it run on a schedule. and made it duplex. and attached multiple cars together for more capacity

#

we could call it the TRAIN (Tesla Radically Ambitious and Intellectual NewTransferSystem)

#

or I guess backronyming it works, Tesla Rapid subterrAnean Interconnecting traNsport

#

TRAIN!

#

im gonna file a copyright on that shit then sell it to musk

only problem i have with mine is kinda wonky wifi card

#

My only issue with the steam deck is I don't go out enough to make one worth buying

dull garnet
#

I should start making videos about stuff I don't own

modest moss
#

Bidori nobody cares, we're planning speedy's new videos

hard drift
#

that's fine 🙏

modest moss
#

You're still too addicted to that site

hard drift
#

nah

umbral moss
#

so all he did was convince a couple million dipshits to give him money to reproduce the boston driving experience

hard drift
umbral moss
#

they could announce it on thanksgiving and start shipping on new year's eve

hard drift
#

nah i highly doubt that deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp they'll probably use it before then to drive gifts and everything

umbral moss
#

looking forward to the $1500 7950x playdead

hard drift
#

so it has to launch in september

umbral moss
#

I thought the zen 4 launch window was Q4 2022

hard drift
#

no, amd officially said “Looking ahead, we’re on track to launch our all-new 5nm Ryzen 7000 desktop processors and AM5 platforms later this quarter with leadership performance in gaming and content creation,”

#

so it's 100% Q3 unless they suddenly delay it but highly unlikely

umbral moss
#

would be nice to see something land on time for once

hard drift
#

it'll still likely be out of stock real quick haha like normal for launches

umbral moss
#

I kind of want to wait for the 7950X3D since those are on the roadmap

hard drift
#

yeah, i plan to wait for 3d vcache versions if i go 7000

#

only way i'll be willing to deal with first gen problems 🙏

umbral moss
#

who knows when they'll actually launch those though

hard drift
#

probably as a backup for intel stuff

umbral moss
#

imagine if 13th gen still sucks so AMD has no incentive to make the vcache chips

hard drift
umbral moss
#

like nvidia sitting on their ass for the last, uh 8 years

hard drift
#

the one thing i can see them releasing vcache wise is the 7800x3d to rival the 13900ks or whatever if it turns out good

paper tusk
#

I'm sitting here just wanting more info on am5 mobos

hard drift
umbral moss
#

price, features

paper tusk
#

and preferably nt the top of the line ones either (especially if i can slap in 2 pcie cards with the m2 slots and be able to use everything

hard drift
umbral moss
#

yes, I've also read the boilerplate specs for X670E

#

I have a lot of reservations with AMD shitting itself on a strong product launch

#

I remember the dumpster fire of barton chips having great performance but the boards were terrible

hard drift
#

atleast recently they've been decent 🙏 aside from luck of the draw with certain boards

#

don't know how i feel about the new style of boards though, B is the budget chipset now deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

#

what do you care, you just upgraded smh

umbral moss
#

DDR5 needed to be done

#

forcing DDR5 means that memory companies can't keep fucking around and not putting any effort into refining DDR5 PCBs

#

they've had way too long of "well, nobody needs DDR5 so we'll just release a handful of dimms"

#

like the DDR5 spec was released in what, 2019?

#

we're still in the first phase of a new DDR release?

#

we're nowhere near the "we're so good at making this that we're 7 or 8 bins above the jdec max spec frequency at a reasonable voltage" phase

#

despite DDR5's spec being old enough for jdec to start considering DDR6 spec release

hard drift
#

although i have a bad feeling about what's to come with rule 4 stuff pertaining to amd cpus 😭

umbral moss
#

so

#

lots of thunder, no lightning, so to speak

hard drift
#

yeah but we'll see 😔

umbral moss
#

I mean, we will, there's not much that rule 4 man can do without triggering a serious international response

#

it's not like TSMC doesn't supply almost every country on the planet with chips

hard drift
#

yeah but they're still a superpower so they can do quite a bit of bad if they wanted to/tried

umbral moss
#

I mean, it's hard to "do bad' when literally everyone is against you, even some of your supposed allies lmao

#

the ramifications of losing TSMC's output is a national security threat to pretty much everyone since they supply the chips that make all the pew pew next-gen hardware go

modest moss

he clearly doesn't or else he would've bought a better white motherboard

sometimes I wonder playdead

#

tl;dr dude's engine eats shit from a known issue, toyota claims he caused the issue because he took the car to a track day event

sly walrus
#

welp, never buying a toyota

umbral moss

imagine denying a warranty claim because someone drove their car on a track, exactly as advertised

#

too expensive to get the factory flavors

odd sand
#

Walmart says a dollar a box, but yeah its gone up a lot. I always get Kraft deluxe bc the cheese is a lot better an the price per oz isnt that much more

#

Them Cali prices?

#

I stopped buying KD once I tried Deluxe, it was just so much better. Original is decent but I prefer Sharp Cheddar if the store has it.

fair parcel
#

Golden Grain was better

deep obsidian
modest moss
#

yeah I mean it's not impossible if you're happy with medium settings at 1080p

#

used 1650 or something

odd sand
#

If you buy all used, you could do it. Or find ppl with old PCs you could scavenge for the case

modest moss
#

yep it's a mission, but not impossible

odd sand
#

Have to play it on your TV bc you can't get a monitor in that cost

modest moss
#

get like a 21" monitor for $20 on facebook

#

it will suck, but if it's all you can afford it could do a job

umbral moss
#

$200 is like, you thought about buying PC parts

modest moss
#

you get something like a used r9 280x, that'd run fortnite on medium settings... then the i5 dell optiplex you mentioned, ewaste peripherals, $20 facebook monitor

#

$200 'rig'

outer sand
#

so is it normal for a premiere pro to export a cut video that has larger size than the original video?

#

Is it just me or?...

#

oh, what do people use usually?

#

to cut video and to not have some silly filesize

#

oh, handbrake can cut video?

#

I thought only compress, lol

odd sand
#

Honestly you could buy like a used 4790K and a used 1650 system and play 1080p medium probably

I mean, when it gets cheap enough anything is good enough lmao

"yeah it's not great but I paid $5 so whatever"

#

personally, I like the 502 but I prefer the 900's shape because I like ambi mice more than ergo

dull garnet
#

go to 2003 and buy a microsoft wmo 1.1a for $20

umbral moss
#

it's still hilarious to me that a corpo wageslave item is regarded as the greatest mouse ever made

sly elk

lol

#

I liked the g502 enough that after 4 years i got a wireless g502

sly elk
#

I have a g900 laying around as well. after about 2 years of sitting on my unused desk at work I brought it home and stuffed it in a bag haha

legendary mouse

sly elk
#

like owned by people who were obviously huge fans of that wageslave mouse

#

it's funny because back when I was younger I was a huge fan of MS mice as well

#

but now I kinda hate them

umbral moss
#

I have pretty close to zero regard for any given mouse over another as long as the thing works

#

I'm reasonably certain that the XXXTREME GAMEN grade stuff is all horseshit and it doesn't matter what hardware you use

sly elk
#

for the longest time I used a $12 logitech wireless mouse

still regret getting rid of my mx master

cus i wanted a gamer mouse for overwatch xd

umbral moss

I use a really short cm/360 rollout so I need the high resolution and acceleration handling

umbral moss
#

I'm pretty sure it's the 5g antenna that's the issue

#

but it's not a hardware issue, it's google's shitty software

#

they had to issue like four firmware fixes for it

dull garnet
#

nuuu

#

lol, also i think the eu model is different than the na one in that regard

dull garnet
#

barely looks different to now lol

#

my speakers were better 10 years ago looooool fuahfuashd]

sly elk
#

10 years ago was when i switched from klipsch gmx 5.1 to soundsticks lol

#

the klipsch sounded amazing but the 5.1 wiring got on my nerves, and so did the hiss (white noise) the preamp produced when idle

dull garnet

I switched from pc speakers a few years before

I should find pics of my older setup, that was pretty funny for use with a pc

Hopefully it's better than the Battle Athletes remake. That was... very disappointing.

potent arrow

so what is the difference

None. Also for a brief while they were offering those for $89 yesterday

neither of those is mk2

sly elk

??

#

this is mk2

potent arrow

yeah

#

idk

and uh

dull garnet

this is actually the mark ii

sly elk
#

mk2 has a detachable usb-c cable and the stand is not removable

potent arrow

LOL

#

I asked my local warehouse

#

and just picked one up

sly elk
#

oh nice

#

so mk2?

potent arrow
#

yeah

sly elk
#

I do think mk2 is better because of that!

potent arrow
#

Yeah cable alone lol

sly elk
#

but I do wish they made the newer stand removable haha

potent arrow

I hate none detachame

Oh the newer one is removable

umbral moss
#

member when lincoln made that 🔥 continental concept car and the actual car was a huge piece of shit?

potent arrow
sly elk
#

ahhh I test drove one after our 300 was totaled by a jerk in an f-150 unexpectedly deciding to make a u-turn right in front of me :\

umbral moss
#

check out the concept car

sly elk
#

between it and the cadillac xts i wanted the continental just for the looks but man the price was a huge ripoff at the time

#

like

umbral moss
#

the production model is a downgrade in basically every way playdead

sly elk
#

they wanted 45k for those new

#

and almost all of the local used examples were 40k+ because they had options or whatever

#

the lone used one I remember finding for 35k was pretty beat up

umbral moss
#

ah man, I member when luxury cars started at $45k

sly elk
#

the xts was cheaper, had more room inside, and it was nicer

umbral moss
#

and not $85k

sly elk
#

err had nicer features*

#

there were 2 things I found really dumb about the continental

#

the first was that they decided to use the fusion platform.

#

-shakes head- whoever had that idea should be fired

umbral moss
#

I don't know why they didn't make the continental the taurus sho with fancy body panels

#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

sly elk
#

see, american car companies had this big crutch with FWD

#

they're all based out of michigan

#

where it snows

#

so they think everything should be FWD 'for safety'

#

(there's still a sizeable contigent on allpar that believe the charger/300 being RWD was a huge mistake)

umbral moss
sly elk
#

like I shit you not

#

there's a large crowd on allpar that believes the charger and hellcat and all that were a huge mistake and dodge should've continued making FWD cars like the intrepid

umbral moss
#

and since american car companies haven't figured out how to make AWD cars consistently without brake-assist torque vectoring, american cars continue to be FWD

sly elk
#

the problem is

#

FWD cars look awful

umbral moss
#

what the fuck?

#

are they all brain damaged?

sly elk
#

they argue the 300m was far better than the 300c

umbral moss
#

did they get dropped on their heads as babies

sly elk
#

which makes me hate their opinion so

#

the other thing I hated about the continental was the doors

#

so they decided that mechanical door handles are so last century

#

and put electric ones with no manual fallback except on the driver's door

dull garnet
#

rate my new ride

sly walrus
#

= =

sly elk
#

but yea, overpriced, boring platform, awkward proportions due to said boring platform, lack of features for the price

#

and it's a ford

#

if I bought it I bet it'd spend most of its time in the shop

#

cuz that's what ya do with a ford

umbral moss
#

at least it isn't a bmw haha

#

the viper is now technically open source from what I know about current vehicle law

#

like you can legally make 1:1 replicas as long as you make less than 325 of them a year

#

since they're > 25 years old

jaunty light
umbral moss
#

I'd love to get a 96 viper and turn that giant ass engine bay into an EV powerplant

#

watch everyone lose their minds complaining about it

sly elk
#

i think it'd be cool

#

I mean, i'd just use a skateboard if the body is big enough

#

then you have a massive frunk 😄

umbral moss
#

you could probably just put the frame over a skateboard, yeah

#

the viper body is just a big fiberglass shell anyway

sly elk
#

I'd pull up to the golf course

#

watch the other guys get their porsche-specific golf club set out of the trunk

#

and just do a happy gilmore pull random shit outta my huge frunk

umbral moss
#

I kind of want to make the bonnet area into like, some kind of obnoxious electrical arc thing

#

nothing dangerous, just something to rev with the hood up and scare the shit out of people at car shows haha

sly elk
#

it's a viper

#

another funny idea

#

would be to put some badass speaker system in there somewhere

#

trunk maybe?

#

set it up so you can totally fake the exhaust hahaha

umbral moss
#

you could probably duplicate it with some custom tubing roughly in the exhaust path

sly elk
#

yea!

umbral moss
#

and just put contact speakers on the tubes

sly elk
#

then you have a sleeper lol

umbral moss
#

I mean, everyone expects a viper to be fast lmao

#

nobody's going to be like "damn, that viper smoked me, didn't see that shit coming"

#

it's not like heating up a toyota tercel and dunking on some shithead's z4 haha

#

bonus points for duplicating the tercel's underwhelming inline 4 wheeze on the exhaust and dumpstering someone in a challenger

sly elk
#

Wtf my usb chain just died

umbral moss
#

you don't need 1200whp from a quad motor setup when your entire car weighs less than the battery pack of the other car haha

sly elk
#

Oh I see

#

It’s there usb hub in the monitor

#

how annoying!

#

maybe it was because i used an extension cable. Meh. I'll mess with it later.

umbral moss
#

USB gets pissy sometimes with cables

#

I bought a USB A-C cable to try to get more range on my headphones, and the new cable doesn't communicate

sly elk
#

there is one specific type of usb a-c I like because it does usb 3.0 gen 2

#

hehe work today is being fun

the x570 godlike does 14+4+1 so yeah it's pretty insane

umbral moss
#

yeah, but also consider that the power consumption is almost double, so

#

zen 3 is what, 105W PPT? zen 4 touching 230 PPT?

hard drift
#

i mean potentially yeah

umbral moss
#

24 may not even be enough if you decide to try to crack the 6GHz barrier

#

and that ax1600 looks like it will get a real workout with these new chips

hard drift
umbral moss
#

yeah, but the reason power consumption is bonkers this generation is because they're going over 5 GHz

#

switching losses are to the fourth power of frequency in silicon

#

getting to 6 may push the power consumption over 350W easy

hard drift

yeah but it'll be fine probably 😎

at least you can change your own stuff and fix it yourself

I need other people still to help me with stuff because while I know how to pick hardware and troubleshoot it I still do not know how to put it together

yeah, we'd yell at you and keep yelling at you until you stop building your own pc

so I have it backwards?

yes

troubleshooting should be the hard part while putting it together is easy

if lucky the 5700xt is 6% faster when it works at 1440p vs a 3060

I know little about hardware but somehow I figured out that reducing the speed of my ram and voltage would fix the BSODs

and then the company takes 8 months to get you replacement parts because they prioritized it all for new builds

something about having 8 ram slots

save the weight and just don't bring a PC or tablet or whatever

having four useful cores and 8 low power cores is useless

True

#

one of the rookie mistakes kickstarter campaigns run is that they set the funding goal at their intended profit level and it takes forever for a campaign to hit $15k or whatever, especially towards the end of the campaign when people see time is running out and the campaign isn't close to funding

#

if a campaign is funded you're definitely getting your thing if you back, so it's more incentive to get in on it

sly elk
#

hehe

#

i shoulkd make a kickstarter for a motherboard

#

ehh don't do that

umbral moss
#

I've seen a few campaigns die that way, they set the funding value at their true goal level instead of something that will get eyes on the campaign

odd sand
#

Kickstart a Z77 board /s

umbral moss
#

being tagged as a "kickstarter project we love" is free marketing and you need to be funded in a certain period of time after campaign launch to qualify for it

odd sand

Might be able to afford the fab time at a higher node process like that heh

#

Its still exploiting the system imho bc they only have like 2 dozen buyers so far

umbral moss

oh yeah, for sure

Are there many other wireless monitors out there, even for like 1440p or something?

umbral moss

sometimes you get bad vibes from a campaign and these guys are approaching the "this doesn't feel like you're going to get what you paid for" regime

Looks like their pricepoint is meant to match up with this: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenScreen-Wireless-Portable-MB16AWP/dp/B0B17T5F4W/

umbral moss
#

yeah, but asus is a real company and these guys are selling a 4k version for slightly more than the FHD version

approaching "deeply sus" territory for me

that's bullshit

#

chargeback the mobo imo

odd sand
#

No battery but this seems decent. 1440p 120hz

#

And could always power it off a powerbank

#

Since the board isnt technically broken I would just flip it on ebay or amazon used and take a little hit on price

#

Then buy another board

#

Since your problems are just a hardware issue with Z690 chipset right?

#

So unless the next person uses 3 drives they wouldnt even know. Yeah I would just flip it

modest moss
#

ok so

#

have you tested it with 2x nvme?

#

my asus z690 seems fine with 2

#

presumably one drive is OS/apps, one drive is corp shit, and the 3rd is extra storage?

#

wondering if you could run 2x nvme, sell an nvme, and slap in a sata ssd in place of the 3rd, for downloads etc where you won't really notice the speed loss

#

obviously not ideal but it could give you nvme speeds on OS and work stuff

umbral moss
#

did anyone catch the part where he said support told him to use slower drives lmao

#

"uh yeah our hardware can't handle you using good parts, please use cheaper crap so we can keep up, thanks"

I'll add this to the ever growing list of reasons why I fucking hate nvme

umbral moss

customer support and blaming the customer

#

a match made in hell

I still have 64GB of DDR3 that may still be good 🤔

never did get a chance to re-test it after the board exploded

#

@tame fulcrum Have you tried asking for a refund since it doesn't perform as advertised?

#

When did you first contact them for troubleshooting help?

umbral moss
#

can you sell it back to them privately for 100% of the value then?

odd sand
#

Maybe if you raise a stink on Twitter they will advance to Tier2 and refund you lol

#

Bc obviously you were going back and forth with them to troubleshoot and tried the second board etc. so this has been an ongoing issue since before the 30 days

#

Them not getting back to you for 12 days is their fault not your fault. I would definitely escalate or bitch on Twitter

#

Or if you went small claims court they probably wouldn't bother to send a lawyer heh

actually surprising how helpful tweeting at brand profiles is

Sometimes just the threat of legal action will get them to refund

each one of them had their own bullshit way of failing

I'd consider MSI if the specs are there

Assuming your desk has at least 3-4 inches of flat space in the back you can clamp to

How about some filmstrips? If your school was really fancy they even automatically advanced to the next strip when the bell chimed!

It was like combining a roll of film with a slide projector

when I was like idk 7-ish? My brother and my dad were taking computer classes at community college. they brought me along once because I read all their books and was a nerd >>

#

And you played a cassette tape with them

sly elk
#

the teacher had this transparent LCD they put on top of the overhead projector

And the cassette would make a chime sound after the narrative was done for that slide and that would tell the thing to advance the filmstrip by 1 frame

yea, never seen em before

And I remember in kindergarten for the one year they had this massive projector that could show our art even though it wasn't clear ... it blew my mind at the time but obviously it was just like a video camera

The thing was massive though, like the size of a 30" CRT TV

#

But schools always tend to have old tech bc budgets are small

Besides the filmstrip, they also sometimes have these but I can't remember if they played an audio tape with it or not or just talked about them before advancing the slide

Also you can't use the transformer as a footwarmer cause it's attached onto the plug. Which blocks other outlets such that the power strips at work actually have some labelling on the last outlet of the power strip that indicates 'mac laptop chargers go here'

Primary reasons for using a mac I've found are:

  1. you're some really nice high end digital artist

If you have a fast car, you can get up to 100mph in not a lot of distance. You can't account for someone being suicidally stupid. Maybe they wanted to die and didnt consider all the others they would take with them
