[latent grotto]

maybe its a mac

[modest moss]

did you find an alternative?

pity

I just don't want to recommend anything that might not cope with the 7.0 overhaul really

and even that i5/1650 isn't exactly a definite

like you said, it's several years old

my wife still plays fine on a desktop 1050ti at 1080p but I wouldn't suggest it to anyone nowadays

[dull garnet]

8gb is plenty for ff14

[modest moss]

that'd be fine

yes that'd be fine

I'm in limsa and xiv is using 2gb ram

probably not fine, but might be

and OBS so you can stream too

[dull garnet]

windows is more robust with memory management than you think

[potent arrow]

It's as robust as a Subaru in the Canadian winters

[royal forge]

https://www.nouvolo.com/pages/steck

Anyone familiar with this brand?

My friend happens to be dealin with em, and he offered a case on the cheap for me

since he knows im in the market

[lethal dune]

My hotspot is not connecting properly to my Macbook

Also I notice it has been running more than 500mb+ in less than an hour

I don't know how or why, but when I run FFXIV it's usually less than 300mb in span of 6+ hours game

[dull garnet]

maybe you raided a little harder than normal

maybe your macbook is pulling an update

[royal forge]

sad

i dunoe how

but my desktop is not responding

which is...

impressive

[dull garnet]

broke

[modest moss]

you built a desktop already?

[royal forge]

nono. desktop SCREEN

as in

the desktop of my laptop

[modest moss]

ohh, your janky laptop still

no shock then lol

[royal forge]

ye. apparently local sellers never got the memo on price drops

and nvidia also decided to delay the 4080

so im stuck with my pants down atm

[modest moss]

what delay?

[royal forge]

Apparently it's rumoured they aren't releasing till next year?

i wouldn't be surprised

[modest moss]

oh yeah people have said that for ages

[royal forge]

but it certainly doesn't help that my local sellers refuses to drop to pre-crypto prices

or shit, MSRP

heaven forbid they decide to follow global price trends

[modest moss]

probably just take a bit to filter through

[royal forge]

i guess it'll depend on the supposed performance increase for me

on whether i go 3000 or 4000

[modest moss]

question is really can you wait another 6+ months

[royal forge]

beats losing my laptop for >1 month while I'm preparing for my specialization studies

[dull garnet]

can't leverage credit or something? sounds like you need it

[royal forge]

wdym

[modest moss]

nah he has money I think, the problem is availability

he's in SEA where prices still suck

[royal forge]

u mean ask the stupid ass company that builds laptops with several year old china no-name mobos for credit?

or u mean just build a new PC now

[dull garnet]

yes

[royal forge]

because I don't wanna build now if there's something better on the horizon

soon-ish

[dull garnet]

there is always something better on the horizon

[royal forge]

there's always something new

[modest moss]

there's always

[royal forge]

but

ya know

round the corner

and DDR5 is still stupid price

so I can wait

[dull garnet]

for DDR5 to get cheaper???

[modest moss]

DDR5 is whatever

[dull garnet]

how long are you wanting to wait

[royal forge]

nah. im hoping they'll do bundles

my local sellers like to do bundles to move old stock or wdeva

[modest moss]

Aoi out here looking for miracles lol

[royal forge]

so I'll see what they have on offer when new toys on the block

it's like

• something is round the corner new AMD processors, new nvidia GPUs
• prices still stupid here
• local sellers likes to bundle shitty parts

so I'll wait for the chaos to settle down

then i'll take a peak

and force @tame fulcrum to buy me a new GPU

hi Ice

how u doin

globalization is a thing, ya know

you can ship it to me

😘

tbh, i'd probably PAY for shipping

buy from Canada, ship here

a WHILE back, that was actually viable

that was when NewEgg was ok

[modest moss]

you could ask innovo if they can do you a shipping thing

[royal forge]

warranty would suck

but it's a risk

but then customs got pissy

[dull garnet]

what warranty lol

[royal forge]

like, RMA-ing shit

customs realized that "nerd shit" was expensive

so...

uhhhhhhhhh

my country is part of the continent

but im on one of the "islands"

whats that

ur thinkin of beaches

actually...

i remember a while back, i did some basic math

when there was this big "visit Taiwan" thing going on

i could feasibly FLY to taiwan, BUY the fucking PC parts and bring em back

and it being cheaper

[jaunty light]

gotta rice out that minivan?

[sly elk]

except for that motherboard?

i've mostly had that be the case as well though

[royal forge]

Hey @potent arrow are you familiar with Nouvolo for SFF?

[sly elk]

i honestly thought my gpu was defective until i changed the power supply lol

[sly elk]

heheheeh

Not sure what you’re thinking.....but my Willys is the ultimate tow vehicle!!!! 🤔

it's dragging ass with an empty trailer!

[jaunty light]

jeepowners.jpg

[sly elk]

<- claims he's not like other jeep owners

though sometimes I do get tempted to park in stupid places

[royal forge]

hmm

so

30 fps in SB raid

crashes on raid completion

this fuckery is..

something alright

[eager sandal]

20fps in aglaia

👍

[royal forge]

Im usin a 3060

It shouldnt be THAT shit

[paper tusk]

sounds about right for today. I had a random dx error crash and assumed it was from clean updating drivers

[royal forge]

Oh u too?

Dx crashed here too

[potent arrow]

I'm assuming that's collectors edition, but for all of the expacs

It's not too bad tbh

Yep it hass all the bonus stuff

....why

[sly elk]

i don't get it

pc and mac arent' the same? like if you spent the $20 to 'buy' the game

you have to do it again? XD

ahahhaa for reals it is that way

-facepalm-

yea that's fucking greedy lol

and all but 1 of my computers are macs lol

wow I just saw a random comment on reddit that I need to investigate

The Lian Li controller is notorious for frying other stuff that's on the same SATA cable. Use a dedicated SATA for it and a different one for your drives.

speaking of lian-li controllers

I just realized you can buy the L connect 3 controller for $20

saw this in /r/macsetups

right?!

I can't find much good info on it

[tame tartan]

the heretical idol

[sly elk]

it's sitting in front of a mac setup too lol

nice

[jaunty light]

you ever been 100% convinced you remember doing something but you didn't?

I spent 20 mins searching for a CD that I distinctly remember buying AND when I opened it, and can't find it, nor a record of me buying it

I know that I bought it but where is it, have I been berenstein beared?

everyone wants their own distro these days but do they want to actually maintain it

boeing was asking employees to vote on what they should name their distro earlier this year and all the options were terrible

Boenix, I think had the most votes at the time?

I lied, it was actually "linuxy mclinuxface" then BlueOS then BoeingLinux (BL)

that last one, a hit among weebs specifically

blinux. blue hat. Avionux (actually not bad)

[sly elk]

So ya know the way that MS contributes more to chromium than google does?

[sly elk]

I wonder if MS contributes more to Linux than say red hat or Ubuntu

[sly elk]

I’ve never heard of this lol

I told ya before

[jaunty light]

I doubt it was boeing wide, this was just some stuff from a friend that works aerospace (airforce)

[sly elk]

That I couldn’t tell you

Hahahaha

I’ve been working on this kinda stuff for years and I’ve never used Lua

Nope

[jaunty light]

im a lua expert (source: i wrote a lua script in garry's mod)

[sly elk]

We don’t use doors either

We also don’t use ada

[jaunty light]

people used to use doors, not anymore though. rational in general was some trash it was also really expensive

[sly elk]

I’ve heard of people using doors

[jaunty light]

yeah we still use ada

[sly elk]

But nothing I work on uses it

But the stuff I work on is all new world stuff

[jaunty light]

not actually sure what ada is used for but definitely not anything new

[sly elk]

Right

Like if I go to the big clean room lab

None of my projects are on that wall of all their projects hahaha

Well maybe a few of them are now

I haven’t been in there in a few years

Yeah trying to convince those cats that you don’t need Ada or VxWorks is a bitch

Basically any convo you have with them is a rabbit hole into a Pandora’s box

That’s not my teams problem lol

[jaunty light]

ghs multi and ada and also vxworks but ha I don't dev I just press the button and watch loading bars

[sly elk]

We have our own backlog of projects

And get asked to help with other projects

That’s not to say I don’t know VxWorks

I know it lol

I’ve written software for it

[jaunty light]

my problem is that we have some people totally familiar with nix then other people that just.. don't

someone asked me to install nano on solaris which was amusing. it's probably possible but I'm not doing that on 10

[sly elk]

Hahaha

Tell them to use pico?

Or learn vi or idk what Solaris uses

[jaunty light]

but then I got people that delete their authorized keys and ask why they can't ssh without a password and I'm like.. please

[sly elk]

But I remember in the old days on bsdi it was pico!

[jaunty light]

vi/vim but mm dat HJKL layout

[jaunty light]

and this isn't to be elitist it's just like WHY are you going into ~/.ssh and modifying/deleting stuff in the first place if you don't know what you're doing

blame whoever thought it was a good idea to compile on sparc

[sly elk]

Ughhhhh

Why are they screwing that stuff up

My least favorite thing these days is helping people who only know subversion to use git

[jaunty light]

there were some people stiill on svn that some other people on the team moved to git recently, sounded "fun"

[deep sapphire]

I’ll delete you

[jaunty light]

drive over here in that reliable chevy and we'll see what happens

[deep sapphire]

I’m gonna

See how I have to drive to you because you won’t make it here

[royal forge]

https://youtu.be/qm_j-zLJJFM

How reliable is this guy?

In regards to his rumors etc and industry discussions

[modest moss]

@deep sapphire we played a team sponsored by DeWalt yesterday

don't worry, we spanked them

[fair parcel]

soccer

[modest moss]

football*

sorry, bad habit

[deep sapphire]

I miss the Manchester Chevrolet

They were my favorite team

[fair parcel]

lol I love triggering all my friends calling it soccer

but that is all we know here

[modest moss]

Arsenal normally play in red, should arrange a milwaukee deal

[deep sapphire]

To this day I have no idea why GM made that deal with Manchester who the fuck even knows about Chevy there lol

[modest moss]

tell Rwanda to do one

[fair parcel]

that's why

omg the bounce and just so old lol

[modest moss]

Hank manages to randomly post a pic of their player who is currently not playing because he's a sex offender

[fair parcel]

those headlights

I'm not like elitest about things normally but non-LED headlights are pain

[deep sapphire]

Lmao TIL

I just googled Manchester Chevrolet

[modest moss]

Weather Tech they are near me

I wanted a 454 SS so bad man with some nutty exhaust that thing was music to your ears

wait 3 speed automatic ???

[deep sapphire]

7.7 seconds holy SHIT

Yeah it used the TH400

4L80E didn’t come out until 91

The next gen 454SS used the 4L80E

[fair parcel]

damn that's wild

I think my Edge is 10 speed auto??

lol

[deep sapphire]

TH400 and 4L80E are some of the best automatics ever made

They’re still wildly used in drag racing

[fair parcel]

yeah my car knowledge is mid at best, I just know fast cars I like

but just blew my mind 3 speed and now most cars seem to be like 10

guess that is fuel economy though

[deep sapphire]

4L80E is a big fucker

Yeah TH400 didn’t even have overdrive lmao

[fair parcel]

o yeah that looks heavy af

[deep sapphire]

And was made in the 70s

The non heavy duty trucks got the 700R4 which had overdrive

But they aren’t amazing, they usually require a rebuild or 2 if you plan on keeping it around

700R4 is the same thing as the 4L60E

Just non electronic controls

And we all know about the 4L60E

Though to be fair they are good transmissions just a little underrated

[fair parcel]

I swear people used to modify them too?

[modest moss]

aha looks like Magik got automuted?

I bet he abbreviated transmission

[inland mauve]

oops

[potent arrow]

Classic blunder

[modest moss]

easily done

[graceful pine]

That literally triggers the automute really

Oh without the s

Trans is fine

[fair parcel]

yeah

I was so confused at first too

[modest moss]

yeah it's a slur in a different context

[fair parcel]

yeah for sure I get it

[graceful pine]

My mind just went to trans at first

So I was like what that’s not a slur

[fair parcel]

just took me a min when it happened

[modest moss]

staff will often unmute if you send a modmail, sometimes they even see it and handle it

[fair parcel]

ahh yeah thought about that but got me to put laundry in

[modest moss]

it definitely won't be held against you, they'll see you were talking to Hank about cars lol

[graceful pine]

In other news Chelsea losing to Leeds

[potent arrow]

I make the same mistake all the time

[fair parcel]

yeah thought about sending something just to clarify that but figured they could see

[potent arrow]

;-;

[deep sapphire]

Lmao Sarah got bapped for that too

I think I did as well once

The bot sadly can’t do context so it’d be hard to differentiate the slur from the term but that’s fine just call it a transmission or gearbox

It’s kinda an outdated term anyway all things considered

[fair parcel]

oh yeah yeah, I meant for like future context, they see well this asshat has been bopped for saying this slur x times

[deep sapphire]

Lmao it’s all good we’ve all made the mistake

[graceful pine]

Context be a thing

British slang for cigarettes

Would get insta bopped here

[deep sapphire]

Lmao one time I posted a YouTube link of a cat watching hockey and it had the f slur in the url and I got bapped

I was so confused until a mod unmuted me and pointed it out

[fair parcel]

lol

I swear I saw someone post a goose or something one time and get bopped

[graceful pine]

Of all the auto generated URL’s lol

That luck

[fair parcel]

maybe the emote name or something not sure

[deep sapphire]

Yeah I remember that LOL

To be fair it’s likely just a word search

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/wu6lh4/my_gamingstreamingproductivity_setup_about_75/
pretty cool setup

[dull garnet]

Psychopath setup

[jaunty light]

Eating a burger with no honey mustard

[sly elk]

i mean they wall mounted their monitors, computer, speakers, table... and then mounted the mic on the table

they should've just went with an ergotron wall mount thingy for their keyboard/mouse hahaha

so this is the reason why I don't care for excessive mounting

it starts reminding me of those setups in doctor offices

[deep sapphire]

I watched some old lady get into it

Thing looks brand new

[modest moss]

it's wholesome chevy owners are already besties

[sly elk]

hehe

[odd sand]

Belated response, but I still don't agree with it being a slur, but the server owner feels it is so 🤷‍♀️ I mean, what do you think the T in LGBTQ stands for...

[royal forge]

What kinda janky ass doc office u go to

[sly elk]

all of them are like that though?

at least the examining rooms

unless the doctor carries a laptop around

some places the doctors have a laptop they carry from room to room. Other places just have a cheap computer permanently attached to the wall in every exam room

(hospitals are also like that out here)

[royal forge]

Ooo

[sly elk]

man a little leetcode is good to keep me humble lmao

[glossy timber]

You know I don't think I've actually seen it be considered a slur anywhere

[potent arrow]

Wait do you seriously think the term for automotive transmission not a slur?

[odd sand]

That's just modern society these days IMHO. Got a lot of ppl that have something that is an 11 for them and they will spew fire until/unless it is for everyone around them as well

[potent arrow]

Like in the offensive context?

Like the other one is debstble but the one that gets you muted is definitely a slur...

[odd sand]

I meant just saying the word isn't in of itself a slur imho

Its entirely based on context

[potent arrow]

Yeah, in context of cars? It's fine

[glossy timber]

What

[odd sand]

Or did you mean the 6-letter variant

I meant the 5 letter heh

[glossy timber]

The 6 letter one is obv

[potent arrow]

The 6 letter variant is what gets you muted

[odd sand]

Oh, okay.

[glossy timber]

Ah lmao

[potent arrow]

The other one doesn't

That's why I'm like

TF are you two on

Lmfao

[glossy timber]

That's the issue here

[odd sand]

I think I was conflating it with them not liking the common term for crossdressing in manga/anime

[glossy timber]

Lmao

Do people really shorten transmission to that

[potent arrow]

Yes

[glossy timber]

I've never heard that

[potent arrow]

Like 90% of car people

[odd sand]

Its an older term, but yeah

[potent arrow]

Including me lmfao

[glossy timber]

Feels like a us thing

[potent arrow]

I've been muted for it so many times now

Like shinon said it's and old term

Like how slave and master is in my field

[glossy timber]

Ngl when I hear slave and master I either think of coding or kinky shit

Almost never the bad times

[odd sand]

lmao that reminds me of the stink ppl were raising recently to change those terms to like primary and secondary or such

Its like ... you're about 3-4 decades late on complaining

[glossy timber]

We've kinda come full circle to it not being an issue

[odd sand]

Although it is odd they didnt use primary and secondary to begin with

[glossy timber]

Yeah right

I guess people didn't used to even try and be remotely pc

[odd sand]

Or Master and Auxillary

[glossy timber]

So it was whatever

[sly elk]

heh

[potent arrow]

But uh yeah

[sly elk]

stupid stupid question i apologize

[glossy timber]

By the time people gave a shit it was kinda too late

[sly elk]

what is the acceptable term?

[potent arrow]

For what

[odd sand]

Although its not even used all that often anymore since IDE is long dead

[potent arrow]

I just use the mql terminology

Source and replica lol

Hive and drone works a lot too

[glossy timber]

Honestly

That might offend the bees

Bit insensitive smh

[sly elk]

oh I was talking about the correct term for somebody who would be called the shortened version of transmission

[glossy timber]

Oh transgender or trans should be fine

[sly elk]

the thought never really crossed my mind to describe someone that way though

[potent arrow]

Just call us trans?

[sly elk]

like

[potent arrow]

Like

[odd sand]

Mother Brain and Ridley

[sly elk]

i'm not sure why I'd refer to someone as transgender anyway

thanks for making sure though

[glossy timber]

Donkey Kong and diddy kong

[sly elk]

ugh I don't mean that in a bad way ofc

[odd sand]

Turner and Hooch

[glossy timber]

Nah I get what you mean

[potent arrow]

I do get how the five letter variant is offensive tho, I personally really hate when people call me that lol

[glossy timber]

Its not something you usually call someone

[odd sand]

Thelma and Louise

[sly elk]

like it's just an adjective but when would I ever use it

unless I was speaking of a group of transgender people, and again, when would I ever need to do that?

but I'm glad to know using the term transgender is still ok.

[odd sand]

I just don't appreciate being lit up by people that have personal pet peaves and use a tone like its some super common insult

For various things in general

I've had it happen a few times over the years and it always takes me aback

[sly elk]

yea honestly if someone asks for pronouns I'll use those and that's the end of that for me.

i try to use they/them as much as possible though

[glossy timber]

Ngl I just barely use pronouns

People know who I'm talking to

Extra words stinky

[odd sand]

Yeah like if they have pronouns and I know it, I'll use them but if I slip up once or something its not like I'm doing it on purpose if its a new thing. Or if you're talking to someone that doesn't know that person's situation

[sly elk]

well, some people really want to be called "she" or "he" so there's that.

[odd sand]

It might be confusing for them and you don't have time to explain

[glossy timber]

Idk maybe it's old school I just use names lmao

[sly elk]

like if I were presenting female I think I'd be happier if I got called "she"

[potent arrow]

Well I feel like the people who are super sensitive/picky to that are just the vocal minority tbh. Most of us would just correct and carry on

And raise no fuss unless it's repetitive

[sly elk]

eh I'm pretty sure the number of people who make a stink about being asked to use pronouns far exceeds the number of people who make a stink about being identified as the wrong pronoun

[potent arrow]

Uh

[glossy timber]

People raise a stink either way but it's not that complicated

[sly elk]

edited to try and clarify lol

[glossy timber]

Like just try and get it right

[odd sand]

A few years ago when I worked at the pizza place we had 2 ftm and 1 mtf working there at the same time out of like 12-15 BOH staff.

[glossy timber]

Not actually that hard

[potent arrow]

I mean there always seems like it's a common misconception that LGBQT will always go full scorch earth over pronouns is what I'm trying to say

In reality, it's just the vocal minority that gives bad rep

[odd sand]

Simply bc there are a handful of batshits online that make everyone look bad

[sly elk]

yea

[potent arrow]

Yep

[sly elk]

and to make sure we're on the same page

i was saying I've heard far far more complaining from morons whining about chosen pronouns even being a thing

[potent arrow]

I mean that's just the reality we live in

It's fucking boomers and shit

[odd sand]

I just dont like ppl who try to ride my ass for not having pronouns in my profile

[potent arrow]

Like I've never had that kinda shit ever happen ngl

Those people really put us in bad light

[odd sand]

When I feel its like, there shouldn't be a need unless there could be confusion

[potent arrow]

Yep

[odd sand]

Like, I'll see someone on Twitter with a male name that appears male presenting and profile says He/Him and its like ... duh?

[potent arrow]

I mean that's different really...

[odd sand]

I guess its meant to be some sort of solidarity thing

[potent arrow]

Like that's not the same as someone forcing you to do the same

Like that I don't agree on, people putting pronouns in their bios and stuff is just to make people's life easier

It's never that cut and dry, like if you see me I'm not fully transitioned so it's easy to say "Oh that's a he"

[odd sand]

A friend's wife came out as like asexual or non-gender or something to that affect a few years ago and recently ruined their son's birthday party bc the registration form only had Boy/Girl written on it. And she torched that poor HS girl staffing the front desk

Made such a scene they were asked to leave and he was in tears then and didn't get to have the party at the event place

[potent arrow]

But that's what I meant by those people are the minority, I really don't see that stuff in 99% of the community ever.

[odd sand]

Its like bruh... Take that up with mgmt in writing or something later. Ruining your son's bday party over it is not cool

[potent arrow]

It's fucking awful that it happens, but it's really not representative of the majority.

[odd sand]

Their kid is like 5 as well, they're not old enough to make a decision on something like that anyways

[potent arrow]

Lol that's a whole nother topic. If I raise kids, I'm not even going to fully distinguish like genders too hard on them. If they want to do ballet or w/e societal gender locked shit, just let them go ahead. Let them wear what they want etc. I wlnt repeat what cursed ass shit my parents imposed on me.

[odd sand]

Yeah it really feels like she wants to impose on the kid rather than letting them be

[sly elk]

lol it's funny how that works

when I was a kid I idolized my dad and wanted to be like him.

[odd sand]

Because unless you plan on homeschooling, its going to be really hard for them to live some sort of non-gendered childhood

Humans naturally copy what they see others doing and like to fit in

[sly elk]

it might be interesting to see what happens when there's more variety

[odd sand]

So if you send your kid to public school and they're a boy, it's natural for them to subconsciously end up liking whatever other boys at school like or get peer pressured into wearing whatever

[potent arrow]

I mean me too, but I hate the toxicity of "Oh you can't do that because that's not something a man would do". I loved pink and shit as a very basic example, but I would get disciplined for it.

[odd sand]

That's why certain trends start that in hindsight years later are super dumb

[sly elk]

like what happens if a nonbinary couple has a kid? do they decide they wanna be like their parents too?

(note that I have no problem whatsoever with this kinda stuff)

[sly elk]

yea I agree

me too!

[potent arrow]

I'm a very pastel colored human

[sly elk]

for me it was the hair length thing xD

[odd sand]

Yeah, I'm all for introducing kids to a wide variety of stuff, but I feel like forcefully preventing or encouraging certain stuff just to maintain some sort of neutrality would just breed resentment

Out of HS I was working at a pizza hut and the manager was giving me shit for growing my hair out

Its like ... do you think this is a 4star restaurant?

[potent arrow]

I feel like with proper upbringing on encouraging them to do what's best for themselves would eventually steer them in their own direction eventually. Like the first 25 years of your life is basically anime development arc

[odd sand]

Although I admit that intermediate mullet period looks awful

[potent arrow]

Lol I've always had the Ram/Rem hair cut

[sly elk]

xD

there's stuff you can do to make the intermediate period look less awful

it helps to cut all your hair the same length

or maybe not idk

i gotta think about it

[odd sand]

My hair is like down to the small of my back and the last few weeks a ton has been falling out, so I think I either reached the natural age cycle of the hair follicles, or bc ive been dieting maybe my hair isnt healthy

[sly elk]

gg

[odd sand]

Should have gone for the haircut and donated a month ago lol

Gonna be a lot less hair now when I get it trimmed down. This isn't the first time this has happened though, so im not really worried

[sly elk]

too much stress screws me up so good >>

[odd sand]

okay i should have gone to bed like 90mins ago so zzz

[potent arrow]

Zz

I always appreciate how this channel can have like civil discussions on these topics

And the offtopic channel is pure civil war

[glossy timber]

i dont think offtopic can have a civil discussion about whether or not a dog is cute

[royal forge]

Wut

can you take those ear brackets off?

apparently there's an e-bike company called super73 and they're famous? since fuckin when

reading this review being like "whomst??" the entire time

[potent arrow]

You mean the mini bikes?

They are pretty big yeah

[umbral moss]

seems weird that they're "big' and the review is to the effect of "charges $2200 for an ebike with the fit and finish of a $900 no-brand chinese clone"

[inland mauve]

sounds like a load of barnacles

[umbral moss]

I also feel like e-bikes are a surprisingly lucrative market 🤔

[deep sapphire]

Yes you have

[deep sapphire]

Damn I need that

[hard drift]

The cans are coated in an oil to prevent rust and when they enter the steam cookers that coating wears off and ends up creating abunch of gunk in the drains

The cookers have what’s called steam traps, steam obviously condensates and if too much water ends up in the cooker it won’t cook the cans properly so the drains will periodically open an air valve to dump water

I really like that one, except for the heatsinks. The heatsinks are kinda silly. Nice fin ones like gigabyte or evga uses would be preferred.

[umbral moss]

TR board cheaper than X670 lmao

[hard drift]

x670E high end is probably going to be 1-2k given how bad x570 ultra high end already was

[umbral moss]

the asus crosshair is apparently going for $1500

[hard drift]

eh it's ultra high end it can go for whatever it wants lol

gpus don't really need pcie 5 yet

[umbral moss]

is it though?

I thought rampage was the top of the line from asus

[hard drift]

that's a server board line pretty sure

crosshair is consumer line

[hard drift]

also it depends on the crosshair as there are like 5 different ones

hero being cheapest

yeah, rampage is intel X processors no other usage

[umbral moss]

having to learn all of these other irritating subtitles

[hard drift]

that is how they sum it up

and then you have crosshair hero, formula, and impact or something like that

oh and the newest one, dark hero

500 usd msrp

[umbral moss]

I just want the XXXTREME CLOCKAN

although in reality the first gen of these things will be dogshit for that

so anyone buying that board is wasting their money lmao

the next gen x670 board and zen 4 refresh will be way better

[hard drift]

eh idk, these boards seem pretty overkill on vrms

[umbral moss]

the chips themselves will probably be dogshit

it's first gen uarch on first gen process

[hard drift]

i see the worst features being ram/cpu compatibility

[umbral moss]

and it's the initial production run

so you won't be getting any fat 15% OCs out of them

[hard drift]

probably will for the really high end but that's probably the only way lol

[umbral moss]

there was a huge difference in A0 and D0 stepping on the, uh, Q6600?

[hard drift]

although we don't know how much impact overclocking will even have since new shit

[umbral moss]

yeah, there's a lot of unknowns

let people with lots of money and no sense find out

[hard drift]

i play at 4k so atm gpu upgrades make way more sense than cpu will

unless my min 1% and .1% lows are that bad which they aren't usually

superultrawide?

the 49 inch one would be trash, the 34 would be fine

yeah, the 49 doesn't have enough vertically to be worth it

the 34 inch one is fine

smh, it's because you touched them

[modest moss]

why are you attacking @tame fulcrum

[umbral moss]

I want someone who can actually test it

[hard drift]

i gotchu 🙏

[umbral moss]

rather than someone who will test how conductive the board is

[modest moss]

@tame fulcrum has my steamdeck shipped yet?

[hard drift]

they'd have to be really amazing for me to upgrade though since at 4k they won't be doing too much aside from cpu bound titles 😐

but i have debated it

[modest moss]

bidori your pc is fine

[hard drift]

i know it is

[umbral moss]

my PC is from 2016

[modest moss]

[hard drift]

i mean it's my hobby 🤷‍♂️

[modest moss]

skip a gen

[hard drift]

that was my old pc basically

[potent arrow]

I genuinely need to replace my laptop

[hard drift]

only for cpu not gpu 🙏

[potent arrow]

And I'm just waiting for my framework to arrive at this point

[hard drift]

also i already skipped a gen for cpu technically

skipped two if you count x3d

your name is some idiots?

you went from i5 to i9

[modest moss]

my mate has a 3090 and talked about buying a 4080 to replace it and I'm like bruh

[hard drift]

for the sake of "holding you over"

[modest moss]

i3

[hard drift]

even worse

makes you mega idiot 😐

[hard drift]

i mean 4080 would be more energy efficient more than likely lol

especially since not on samsung "atleast pretty sure i can't find anything on it"

samsung node was power hungry

if they had done tsmc it would've been better probably performance wise/energy wise

[modest moss]

I suppose I can tell him to send me the 3090

[hard drift]

and you were complaining about energy 😐

[modest moss]

only rich fools buy a 3090

I said tell him to send, not sell

[jaunty light]

aight shipping is $1200 tho

[umbral moss]

damn, are you from SEA?

[modest moss]

no he just thinks he's funny

I'll pay him $1200 for shipping though

just Zimbabwean dollars

[jaunty light]

zimboobwe dollaz

[modest moss]

1,200.00 Zimbabwean Dollars =

3.3158331 US Dollars

deal

I'll even round it up to tree fiddy and I'll cover any fees at my end

[jaunty light]

they gon charge you somethin stupid for duty fees

[umbral moss]

isn't the catch with import tariffs to the UK that they charge by the kilo

here's a 3090 and 300 kilos of ball bearings

you know, as packing material

[modest moss]

nah by value

so if we say a used 3090 is probably worth what, 800 USD now?

it'd cost me about 180 gbp in taxes/fees

[deep sapphire]

Yeah cry some more binch

Get that black spray can out

[jaunty light]

[novel prawn]

I apologise if this is a common bug / error, if so feel free to redirect me to a post that is known to solve the issue but... Whenever I'd log out and exit the game, FF14 that is, I get a black screen. I cannot do much from there. I can alt-tab and have to close my computer fully in order to be able to use it again normally. I have no error message. Someone can help me?

[hard drift]

use task manager to close it, it's uncommon but not too abnormal

it'll prevent you from having to close your computer to regain functionality

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-rumored-to-feature-23-gbps-16gb-gddr6x-memory-and-340w-total-board-power if this is true 🙏 the future looks good

[deep sapphire]

AMD IS FINISHED BIDORI MOVING TO GREEN TEAM

[hard drift]

only if it's that much better price:performance:power

but very unlikely lol

i have no allegiance 🙏

but if it is 450w for 20% more performance vs 350 for 20% weaker i'll go amd

plus i want a lower wattage card lol

my room gets warm

[deep sapphire]

AMD IS BANKRUPT

[hard drift]

nah, nvidia will never beat them for efficiency

and that's one of the reasons people will stay amd

[deep sapphire]

Sounds like something a poor person would say

[hard drift]

nah

it just in general is nice to have lower temps lol

[real edge]

much better than the rumored 400w+ of before

I am curious about the 4070

[hard drift]

yeah but hope amd manages high 200 range

otherwise nvidia might be the way to go

because that's lower than my current card lol

although this aib model is the reason for it but eh

[real edge]

I am more and more pushed towards waiting for the 40 series cards

if their wattage does not increase

[hard drift]

i mean it has still increased

but not nearly as much as if they went samsung this gen too

[real edge]

meaning I can shove it into my 750w psu

[hard drift]

we'll see, this gen might be new connectors

[real edge]

tsmc 5nm

is what they went with

[hard drift]

yeah, imagine how 3000 would've been though if they had used tsmc

would've been way better than amd rather than barely better for a lot more power

[real edge]

I certainly hope not

[hard drift]

it 99% is

pcie gen 5/atx 3.0

they'll probably have adapters like the 3090ti evga thing

[real edge]

hmm

included in the box

or separate?

[hard drift]

most likely in the box but who knows

[winter saffron]

Hi! I’m playing on pc connected to a Hisense tv, when I go to 1080p resolution it automatically turns on the hdr mode on the tv and I cannot turn it off from the tv settings…and it looks bad, I wanna turn it off… do I have to do it in game? On windows? Or where? Thanks a lot in advance!

[hard drift]

you should be able to turn it off in display settings in windows

if it is in fact not the tv doing it automatically

[real edge]

^

turn it off in windows

[winter saffron]

I’ll try that and let you know, thanks!

[dull garnet]

oh yeah, what was it that people said ff14 was bad at? anti aliasing?

[hard drift]

there are many things

[dull garnet]

[winter saffron]

I still get the tv to automatically go into hdr mode even though I have it turned off in windows

[hard drift]

check your tv settings then

[winter saffron]

The funny thing is that it only goes into hdr mode when playing full screen, if I go into windowed mode, it turns off… please help! 😩

[winter saffron]

The tv settings won’t let me turn it off

[hard drift]

play borderless window anyways

[winter saffron]

Lol that actually works

It messes up my resolution and the crossbar scalings though

[hard drift]

it shouldn't unless you're upscaling/downscaling your resolution in fullscreen

[winter saffron]

The tv is 4K so I think it’s automatically upscaling

[hard drift]

what resolution is windows set to?

[winter saffron]

I found the settings on windows though! Thanks a lot! The solution was to turn it off WHILE the game is running in full screen

While in the topic, I actually wanna play in 1440 resolution, but when I change to that, all the icons get messed up… I change the scaling in game but I don’t get exactly the same layout… is there a way to conserve the exact same scaling proportionally?

I can upload pictures if I’m not explaining myself very well

[hard drift]

no, you have to change the size of everything and you'll more than likely have to tinker with it still

[winter saffron]

Ohhh I see, I play on the laptop in 1080p and sometimes I hook up to my 4K tv… so I’ll just stick to 1080p even when hooked to the tv I guess

[deep sapphire]

Chevy isn’t even on the list

Let’s see here, Hyundai/KIA are the most stolen vehicles by far, they made an engine that was prone to catching on fire for over a decade and did nothing about it, now this on top of that AND the seatbelt tensioner explodes too

Oh and the horror stories I’ve read about the dealerships treating people like shit, putting insane mark ups on basically anything they sell

i will be quick to point out that starship isn't a direct competitor to SLS, it's better in some ways, and IMHO worse in others

the drawbacks probably aren't worth the $$ difference though

[modest moss]

pfn_list_corrupt

apparently it's quite vague and could be ram/storage/driver

which is fun

[sly elk]

starship is very large and needs a lot of (5-10) refuel launches to get to the moon. But then it can carry a lot more since the dang thing's slightly bigger than a shuttle

not sure how the cargo capacity compares though lol

[deep sapphire]

Damn that orange is potent af

[deep sapphire]

It’s orange, it’s called Solar Octane it’s the new color on the TRD Pro

Okay how about this angle

It’s the same color

I dunno, probably looks more red outdoors is my guess

[jaunty light]

Didnt think they could make tundra more ugly

But here we are

[hard drift]

it probably does you just are too far above what it considers "optimal performance" for it to do anything

how tf is your fps so bad

smh

you do you

[sly elk]

thinking about getting that tundra again?

[dull garnet]

[boreal surge]

Oh the toyota if it makes you feel better it still looks red on an iphone 8

This (the inside of my jacket) is what you call definitely orange

[umbral moss]

y'all going blue/black dress over here

but the likely answer is that it's a color shifting pearl that goes red/orange

base color orange, red off-angle

it may also be picking up more red from the shitty sodium overheads in the convention hall

since the red looks oversaturated

fried color is usually too much for the channel to measure

could actually be the camera if they used a cellphone, the red channel may be shared with an IR sensor to get low light autofocus

which would be very unhappy with a bright red source

if you're using a real camera that doesn't happen though

even nikon's out of camera jpegs don't blow out the red channel like that

[sly elk]

i've seen a couple of those new tundras around

[modern iris]

does anti-aliasing affect graphics and performance in what way?

[modest moss]

it makes jaggedy edges look smoother and it'll cost fps

so it's a tradeoff between things looking nicer and fps dropping

[sly elk]

I like them though

I mean they're not great looking

but at least they don't look like ANGRY TRIBAL PEDESTRIAN KILLER 9000

[deep sapphire]

It entirely depends on the anti aliasing method used too

[sly elk]

idk they remind me of frogs

[deep sapphire]

The one built into ffxiv is dog shit but it doesn’t impact performance at all

especially in green

Speaking of rivian

[sly elk]

yea I find the design pretty inoffensive

I've been the front end dev before and never dressed like either of them lol

i hate polo shirts

We had a dress code and officially had to put on a suit if a client was visiting. Devs ignored it and realistically I don't think clients wanted to see devs in suits. Those are devs without too many options and will probably deliver something buggy.

that's about right.

yeah, because you can't break the OTP key with an ios update

I worked with a guy who got locked out of his account for a month because an ios update broke the authenticator app

[sly elk]

you can break it by removing the battery or losing it or whatever though

[umbral moss]

I mean, considering the battery lasts like 15 years

[sly elk]

but i kinda want one anyway

[umbral moss]

I think I get my money's worth out of it for $9 lmao

[sly elk]

just to not have to whip out ms authenticator

man I love it when a Discord update resets my image preview settings

that's truly what I desire from a patch to Discord

You could just use a MFA app which syncs to the cloud, then setup a script which auto-enters your OTP code when prompted by XIVlauncher.
but i dunno anyone who has done that
