THE NEW RADEON 7000 SERIES IS OVER 500% FASTER IN PRELIMINARY BENCHMARKS!

it also runs at about the temperature of the surface of the sun

[real edge]

nah thats intel

[sly elk]

and it turns out that benchmark is suuuuper specific and not true for anyone

also

for some reason, some random ass cryptocurrency fits that benchmark's purpose perfectly, so the GPU is now entirely sold out

[royal forge]

The HDD crypto mining was hilarious

New charger and cable

[paper tusk]

are they MFi certified?

[burnt swallow]

Correct me if I'm wrong

But

AMD GPUs are weaker at ray tracing right?

Can ray tracing performance be limited by your CPU

Because if so I might know why Cold War keeps fucking crashing on me every time I play

It definitely isn't because ray tracing is enabled

I should've just bought a 3070 and saved myself $150 and this crashing pain

I have a 12600K paired with a 6800 XT so I'd bet having raytracing on is causing the crashes

dx12 hates me I think so I forced the game into dx11

And disabled ray tracing

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl5as8LQLEw

[boreal surge]

In all fairness discord more or less permanently stores those files

[hard drift]

It will also depend on implementation of raytracing

Plus dx12 is still newer in terms of being used so it isn’t as good as dx11 is yet

[jaunty light]

why would you buy a jeep that's electric

buying an FCA product is a lottery, add electric to it = guarantee you're getting a lemon

oh it's a hybrid too eugh

[sly elk]

the company that makes the dual battery kit for my jeep has it on sale 20% off. I kinda want it, but I kinda don't.

as it stands my jeep has 2 batteries: one normal battery and one motorcycle battery, basically

and the motorcycle battery is hidden underneath the fuse box and takes some work to get to

the dual battery kit replaces that stupid setup with 2 normal size batteries

but then you have this weird ass looking rats nest in your engine bay

sure

can kinda do that in forza horizon ahahaha

but it's more fun to use a ferrari as a jeep

since the game gives no shits

lol

still i might buy that dual battery kit and keep it in the box until my jeep's regular batteries die

[jaunty light]

idk, whats the play with having duals? need direct vehicle power?

cuz you could just buy a 2000w pack like a bluetti or something if you just need some form of bank

[sly elk]

it's the stupid engine-start-stop system

tbh i could probably just get one of these full throttle batteries to replace the original full-size and throw out the motorcycle battery and be fine

the dual full-size kit is meant more for say, using an onboard refrigerator

so that if you forget to turn it off (or can't) you don't kill your ability to start the jeep after the fridge runs the battery down XD

(it isolates the main battery if the overall voltage hits a threshold)

[jaunty light]

yea i just run that off a jackery

don't think I'll ever bother trying to put money into my current truck for any kind of overlanding tho

the bed is shaped in a way that nbody makes racks or tonneaus for it, likewise I'd need some weird custom roof rack if I wanted solar or something

[sly elk]

yea I guess the other way to look at it

is batteries usually last 3-5 years, and sometimes more

I don't have to worry about rust where I live, so if I keep the jeep 10 years I will probably have to swap batteries once, maybe twice

is it really worth all that money ......

definitely not!

(worst case I can bypass the janky motorcycle battery anyway)

[jaunty light]

you could probably build something in the back tbh

[sly elk]

ty for helping me think this through lol

[jaunty light]

but if it's a uh, what do you say, "integrated solution" to the engine bay that tells me 90% of the cost is for the design

I think I could probably fit an entire other battery in my engine bay if I wanted to

I know people that install them near the frames on my year if they want another one

[sly elk]

i like it in cars when it sits in the trunk

[jaunty light]

my experience with my first car was opening the trunk and finding that an entire bottle of oil leaked on the spare tire

the rubber was disintegrated and all over the metal, so that was a fun cleaning

[sly elk]

oh noo

[meager cargo]

Should be, it's Anker brand. It seems that the problem is occurred if I lay it down charging for a while. After I replugged it, the problem goes away. It's so weird. But not permanently

On the other hand, I talked with Authorized Service Center and they recommend me to try restore in case there's a software bug (optimized charging malfunction, it seems) or change wall socket in case the one I'm using rn is not fully provide a "clean" voltage. Furthermore, cause the issue is so rare, they wouldn't recommend to bring it to them as it'll take days to notice the problem and only bring it to them when it's becoming too common.

[deep sapphire]

LOL thats amazing

[jaunty light]

[odd sand]

The secret to Europe's heating gas shortage for the winter /s

At the same time, nobody bats an eye at an Nvidia card demanding 450-500W and tries to push it there for more perf, so while lower power would be nice most ppl just care about the final score.

Kinda wondering if a 13900 and 3080 are still okay on 850w

Also why are all the EVGA PSUs marked down by 35-40% atm on Newegg...

[sly elk]

ugh I think it's ridiculous

it's not just the power use but the heat produced

like right now i won't play anything because it's too hot and I don't wanna make my living room hotter

[jaunty light]

bulk dry ice time

or take some AC exhausts to your fans and run it outside

[sly elk]

i don't have ac 😦

[jaunty light]

its time for my patented OutsidePC(tm) technology to shine

[sly elk]

haha

if i owned the house i'd have ac, for sure

these things go hand-in-hand dude

portable AC won't work when your electrical is fucking pathetic

then again your house is messed up

when was it built o_O

how does it not have ducts

[odd sand]

Since when does a 3080 spike to 900?

[sly elk]

oh it has radiators for heat doesn't it

that explains a lot

in the US most houses built after 1980 have central forced air heating

and upgrading that to also have air conditioning is easy (though not necessarily cheap)

before 1980 it's really hit or miss

[odd sand]

True, but in the last couple years it's now becoming very popular to go with split-zone heat pumps

[sly elk]

isn't that still mostly centralized?

[odd sand]

Split-zone means each room has their own thermostat. My friend has 2 bedroom condo and his power bill this month was like $20 cheaper than my 1bedroom that has central air

[sly elk]

i think for a house i still prefer having 1 large unit but

that could be great for redundancy reasons

[odd sand]

The 2nd bedroom is a spare, so often he just turns off the unit entirely and leaves the door closed

[sly elk]

hahaha

the concept of having a spare room seems absurd to me

i've never had a spare room

must be nice

yhea that was my thinking of why i wouldn't see t worth having split zone

not to mention split zone almost always means the bathroom doesn't get anything

which is... not ideal IMHO

i want my bathroom to be properly heated/cooled

have you considered

installing it yourself?

man 40k is something

how big is the place?

so does the 40k include upgrading insulation and stuff?

are they installing the condensers all in one spot and running long pipes?

ah they do it with a single condensor?

interesting

what if they did just 1 zone? XD

ah nvm

ducting is more expensive huh

it sounds like the house was the worst build ever for retrofitting to have AC

on the plus side

you can do that...

fwiw that's pretty much how they did it in this house

but I think this house was built to have central air

which is weird because other houses in the neighborhood don't have central air

the landlord said when he moved here 15 years ago the place had an ancient furnace that kept breaking down until he replaced it (likely himself as a DIY)

but lots of old shitty houses in CA use these

[odd sand]

the fuck is that

[sly elk]

it's a wall heater

[odd sand]

[real edge]

[sly elk]

basically it's a big crappy fire hazard

[sly walrus]

i’m just waiting for the zoom in and “did you see it” thumbnail

[sly elk]

lol

[sly walrus]

ll

[odd sand]

Well my apartment in CA had a wall heater about a third that size for the living room. We never turned it on bc the venting behind it was shared with the apartment below us and they smoked

So we taped a plastic garbage bag over the entire thing to prevent us from having a headache from the smoke wafting up

[sly elk]

grosss

the other thing about those

if you see one of those it means the house probably is crap

[odd sand]

Oh, are they finally becoming available now?

[sly elk]

in the US the ba.4/5 was approved on friday

some stores already have it!

[odd sand]

Yeah this apartment building was built in the 60s or 70s, but they kept up decently on the renovations at least

[sly elk]

walgreens has appointments starting on the 7th for it

[odd sand]

Originally I was hearing them say they didnt thik it would happen until oct or nov

[sly elk]

yea

oh and the best part is it's available right away

[odd sand]

Did my full bike trail ride to my parents house today

60 miles 4.5hrs ride time

[sly elk]

damn

that's a lot of bike riding!

one thing I'm still trying to figure out like

I really want the booster shot

so the ba1 booster has been tested on people

the ba4/5 is just starting to get tested I think?

[odd sand]

So imma go pass out now

[sly elk]

i'm not at all anti-vax i promise lol

i heard flu shots work kinda similarly in regards to testing

so i might wait a week

I kinda don't wanna wait a week. i want it now! >>

XD

[odd sand]

As a friend told me: It was Covid19, not Covid1. The reason they had the vaccine quickly was they repurposed an existing coronavirus vaccine

i like that idea

[odd sand]

I was giving directions to two ladies on the trail looking for a picnic spot and this guy walks over in the parking lot and chats for a bit and mentions other trails in the area

[sly elk]

hmmm?

thinking of running VMs on your gaming machine?

i realized i was much happier having a gaming machine and an everything else machine

[jaunty light]

nah since there's a high likelihood I'll get a 7950x/3d I can repurpose this hardware, already have another 850w PSU lying around

[sly elk]

so that I don't have to interrupt my music or whatever the heck else i was doing because i restarted windows 5 times in a row

oh ok

at least i didn't use astolfo as my icon

[jaunty light]

i'd use oberon but oberon is half deer and i find that too weird

[jaunty light]

[jaunty light]

I'd get.. 50TB usable? from 8 drives in Z3, which isn't bad

but then that turns into recommendation of probably 32GB to manage leaving no room for anything else on the system

[dull garnet]

too much bagged milk

[odd sand]

So any chance Discord devs backtrack on React Native. Or any chance React Native can be made not dogshit?

From what I read about it, it sounds like it requires a lot of effort to make it run fast, and punishes you for using a lot of libraries and uncompressed images etc. and passing lots of things back and forth over the Bridge. Which is exactly the worst solution to pick for an app like Discord

[odd sand]

Especially considering going with that solution is precisely bc they want to cheap out and not spend the effort to do it right. Although why they're short-changing 80% of the market in favor of 20% I dunno...

Do that many more iOS users pay for Nitro than Android?

Probably. They pay the Apple Tax after all /s

it's better than not explaining it at all

[umbral moss]

my point is that it's not something that's intuitive

that's something OEMs would need for their ERP software

but putting it on a laptop box is like, not useful

"is this better than that?" "hold on, let me get the decoder sheet"

it's kind of annoying because intel started trying to do this with xeon silver/gold branding

and then just kind of abandoned it for consumers, who actually don't read part numbers and assume the thing they're buying is using the latest/best component

[umbral moss]

"nice" torque

[modest moss]

it's a fun dunk

[umbral moss]

wake me up when you're at 450+ lb-ft

also, the fact it's a friggin minivan means that 80% of its power budget is wasted just accelerating the stupid thing

was thinking more like a 250kW dual motor EV in a supra platform

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tesla sucks though

I suspect the "small battery + light chassis" approach will make EVs affordable

you don't need enough lithium to start your own salt mine

yeah, but nobody actually intends on doing that lmao

make car industry 100% EV by a criminally close deadline

expect car companies to suddenly ramp battery production 1500% YOY for 5 years to still fail to meet lithium demand

https://tenor.com/view/why-would-they-do-this-confused-any-ideas-why-is-this-happening-dont-understand-gif-16139013

yes, big brother knows best, except when they don't lmao

it's nice to put a stake in the ground and be like "you must do this" but it ignores the reality of realigning the supply chain to make that a thing

even if you stripmined chile to the bedrock there isn't enough accessible lithium to meet battery demand in the NA market alone

and that assumes you just went in there and instantly mined it like goddamn starcraft

pres butan, receev resources

lithium is somewhat abundant but it isn't abundant enough

even with every lithium deposit on the planet being turned into toxic soup to extract it, making enough battery modules to support every car having a 100+kWh battery pack is easily going to outstrip supply

there aren't enough batteries as it is and EVs make up 1-ish percent of total auto sales

we're talking about companies like rivian delivering 25k units in a year and being like "wow EVs are mainstream"

ford sold what, several million F150s?

I'm talking about gas powered F150s

they move a ton of them every MY

the lightning is also supply constrained because battery packs are so hard to come by

if you want the top trim, sure

but my point is that the lightning is the closest to a mass production truck and they sell easily 10x as many gas F150s a year

so if they were 100% EV where are all these batteries coming from?

and the old ones can't really be reconditioned, you can only strip them and try to reclaim the lithium directly

so battery recycling will have to become a thing to even think about keeping EVs on the road

time to fire up the old NIMBY whining when you need battery reprocessing facilities everywhere

[jaunty light]

That's a 2035 persons problem (everyone in gov probably wipp be dead because theyre 80)

y doe? is there a problem with building hype?

[hard drift]

Ikr, leaks are good for hype trains plus it’s ES usually being leaked so you can still surprise the competition

[umbral moss]

ES usually performs like dogshit too

[hard drift]

Exactly lol

[umbral moss]

they're always validation units meant to test drivers

[hard drift]

Nvidia just being nvidia i guess

[umbral moss]

probably don't want people to know that ada isn't very good

if your kid is allergic enough to die from peanut butter vapor I don't know if it was meant to be

but does it have crash detection

[umbral moss]

allergies have gotten more severe as parents have gotten more obsessive with over-sanitizing everything

so the immune system starts to develop a hyperaggressive response to anything

TFW you can tell your monitor is running at 60hz

ugh dell monitors are awful sicne like 2018

[umbral moss]

I love that backlight strobe

it's the perfect "fuck you" from management to the employees

[sly elk]

hahahah

backlight strobe?!

my complaint is that since like 2018

they have this weird flicker at 60hz

[umbral moss]

longer than that

[sly elk]

I noticed it on the ultrasharp 24" monitors at work

[umbral moss]

dell monitors have always had that inverter noise

[sly elk]

it's like horizontal lines flashing across from left to right

[umbral moss]

I bet they still use CCFL backlights for the corpo bound units because it's cheaper

[sly elk]

but my alienware 25" screens do it too - at 60hz

at any other refresh rate (144, 240) they're perfectly fine

[umbral moss]

yeah, that's resonant with AC line noies

which means they're not suppressing the resonance on the ADCs and it's just pissing out a 60 Hz LED strobe effect

[jaunty light]

Wow its too thick

Why isnt it paper thin

Now they have 0 excuse to not put a 3.5 jack on it and expandable sd

Plus they deleted the sim tray on US models

I love the "backed by VCs", like that's a selling point

it means your company isn't profitable and is betting on tricking rich people into continuously funding the company's operations

yeah so we posted a $450 million loss last quarter, but we just raised $15 billion in series A funding this year so we're OK for a while

just have to get our user numbers up a bit

jobs are hell

I'm tired of working, it's time to retire

I'm a senior engineer but I don't get many bites because of how specialized what I do is

I'm really considering getting out of laser manufacturing and into battery design because the first person to create a cheap, mass production quality battery is going to have a license to print money

I want to be making $180k

the higher you aim, the more responsibility you have

I'd like to get paid $180k to do about half of what I do currently

I have to be 100% in-person

[umbral moss]

there's only a handful of companies that do that in the US, this is the only one in NY

[sly elk]

are you straight up designing the emitter itself?

[umbral moss]

I design the entire resonator

my job is to make the cutter/marking system

yeah, hardware engineering gets paid bullshit

[sly elk]

are you a physics phd? 😮

[umbral moss]

because it's not glamorous and VCs don't like throwing money at hardware companies

[sly elk]

yea this is the thing I hate about engineering

the difficulty vs pay isn't quite right sometimes

often**

even in software it's true

you can work on medical equipment firmware and get paid half what some jackass at google gets paid to literally make fart apps

[umbral moss]

my job is hardware design, manufacturing, and customer service in one role

[umbral moss]

seeing people get famous on insta and get paid to go on vacation and I'm just like "I hate it here"

either because you were secretly contracted and they lied to you about the nature of the job or the company goes under because they're running a snake oil shop

[sly elk]

Traveling abroad will be a hassle: Multiple countries (and especially smaller carriers) do not offer eSIM functionality (and/or it is more cumbersome to get than advertized). Planning a trip to a developing country? You're in for a surprisedpikachu face when your expensive device $800-1000 can't use basic phone functionality compared to a basic $100 phone.

^ taking an expensive phone to a developing country is ill advised XD

i mean I guess you can hide it in a goofy case

haha one of those experiences that stuck to me since my college days

in the town i went to uni, most of the employees in stores and stuff were also students so in small talk it was pretty common to talk about majors and what you were studying

was at safeway and the dude in front of me is chatting with the cashier

she asks him what he's studying

archeology

her voice changed and she was so interested/excited about this

I have never once, ever had that response ever when saying i studied computer engineering lmao

[umbral moss]

relax, he's not indiana jones lmao

[umbral moss]

one time I told a girl my major was physics and she shouted "ew!" like I dropped a cockroach on her

[sly elk]

LOL

the other thing I found funny/great about my college experience was the kinda studentss in the different classes

took a history class. cute girls with macbooks everywhere

took a compsci class. mostly random poor people with cheap old laptops with the promotional stickers still on them

it was like a subtle social class thing hahahah

that's not to say those majors aren't valid

[odd sand]

Are you saying my $200 Tab A with a TKL connected to it for notes wasn't hip and trendy?

[sly elk]

hey i graduated in 2014 and there were people who used tablets but most still used laptops

it's been 8 years

i wouldn't be shocked if ipads with apple pencils took over

at the time the only person I really remember using an ipad was this older lady in the ancient history class, who used it with a keyboard case. it looked really goofy.

[odd sand]

USB-C is coming... in 2026 when apple is forced to comply with EU regulation

[hard drift]

apple took an L with this "dynamic island" it's so dumb 😭

[deep sapphire]

I still don’t get the obsession with ditching lightning, it’s a more reliable port. And with how dog shit iTunes is I never transfer files physically anyway

Wym it’s a clever use of space

[hard drift]

just gimme the screenspace it's 90% going to just be a gimmick

[modest moss]

I can't stand earbuds

[umbral moss]

lightning is just an inside out USB-C lmao

[hard drift]

not shilling for airpods 2 smh

[umbral moss]

and the reason USB-C is designed the way it is is because apple's engineers designed the connector lmao

[deep sapphire]

And it doesn’t become loose

[umbral moss]

the springs are on the cable for USB-C, so it's easier to replace

[deep sapphire]

But tit for tat. I’d be fine regardless if they went whatever direction

[umbral moss]

the springs are on the connector for lightning

so when it breaks you have to replace the whole phone

apple knew what they were doing

[modest moss]

console yourself with the knowledge I'll be paying 4x as much as you for electricity

[deep sapphire]

I’ve never heard of a lightning port breaking physically

[umbral moss]

that's because you replace it every year with a trade-in lmao

[deep sapphire]

The cords apple makes are dog shit I’ll admit that

[umbral moss]

you never encounter the physical degradation

[deep sapphire]

I’ve owned iPhones for 4+ years and never once did the lightning port fail

My dad had an iPhone 5S until just this year and it still worked

[umbral moss]

I mean, micro USB B also took a long ass time to die too

but it would eventually go bad

apple literally sent engineers to the USB C design meeting and basically made the whole connector spec based on what they learned from lightning

the proprietary cable from 10 years ago needs to die, just use USB C like the rest of us plebes

[umbral moss]

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/hyundai-n-vision-74-electric-first-drive-review/

it's a real fuckin car

What's perhaps most intriguing, however, is how much production or near-production hardware is used in the N Vision 74. The fuel cell stack and the two high-pressure hydrogen tanks are from the Hyundai Nexo. The electrical architecture is 800V, as in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. The motors are similar to those that will be used in the forthcoming Ioniq 5 N. And although it has a unique multilink suspension all around and bespoke subframes, key elements of the body structure are shared with the Genesis G70.

it's using off the shelf parts, none of the guts are duct tape and prayer engineering garbage

this thing could be turned into a real production unit next week if enough people pester hyundai for it

leave it to fuckin hyundai of all companies to make an EV I'd actually want to own

although apparently the ioniq and kona are extremely good

[umbral moss]

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/hyundai-rn22e-electric-sedan-first-drive-review/

poggies

both of the hyundai concept cars are real cars, not just auto show fiberglass shells that don't actually drive

[jaunty light]

Actually pog

i feel like it wouldnt be street legal though

then again the charger is

only problem is this works great as an ICE, if it's electric or hydrogen I'd be totally disinterested lol

||this is what the new Z should've looked like||

[umbral moss]

they said there's a street legal version of the N74, plus a racing and tuner version

[jaunty light]

I wanna see if they have concessions on the lights for the street version

[umbral moss]

why? it's using off the shelf parts for the front end too 🤔

LED lamps are legal in the US apparently

[jaunty light]

US has some dumb laws regarding size and everything, which is why almost none use amber turns in the back

[umbral moss]

yeah, but it looks like hyundai is already making this with USDM in mind so it must be complying with the dumb laws

the N74 is like, millimeters away from being a production model, they specifically designed the thing to make a case to senior management that they could make it cheaply and without any new parts

[jaunty light]

put a fat v8 in there and I'll buy

[umbral moss]

y doe

electric motors are all torque

even a supercharged V8 won't match the N74's low-rpm torque

[jaunty light]

lame sound + batteries will last a quarter of their lifetime where i live

where da interior at also

[umbral moss]

I mean, the n22e apparently has fake engine noises lmao

[jaunty light]

holy shit that thing is hideous

who is working at hyundai

whoever made the 74 needs a promotion

[umbral moss]

the n22 is the replacement for the veloster N in their racing group

the mule isn't finished metal as far as I know

it's just to prove that the ioniq 6 chassis can be made race ready

[jaunty light]

the ioniq looks like an AI generated porsche

[umbral moss]

I kind of like the ioniq 6

it's mildly amusing when people say "X looks like Y" because X and Y were likely designed by pininfarina anyway lmao

[jaunty light]

slap da n74 on the g70 body and gimmie the v6

not really inspiring though maybe if someone did a hellcat swap it would be

[umbral moss]

the N74 is already on the G70 wheelbase apparently

so... 🤔

[jaunty light]

[umbral moss]

the N74 is literally a complete car, they just need enough people to pester hyundai NA to put it into production

it's done inside, it's not a mule car with duct tape everywhere

[jaunty light]

lemme email them

get that factory purple livery going

then I'll wrap it in anime girls

[umbral moss]

give me that 70s dark purple velour interior

[jaunty light]

wait it does have an interior photo

i'm sold this is the sex mobile

this is so impractical for a car but that's why it's good

only thing I'd change on the exterior are the wheels because solid wheels are still goofy, can't change my mind

[umbral moss]

I'd prefer a good old thunk-thunk shifter for the drive modes, but that would imply hyundai has them laying around and a way to link them to the electronics

if it was up to me I'd just build an EV platform and stick a DSM-2 body on it lmao

paint it horrible vaporwave colors

peak 80s design

[deep sapphire]

Oh I know, they partnered with Intel to create thunderbolt which is basically USB Type C

My only guess is they figure most people who have an iPhone will be getting another one so it makes it one less cable to have but at the same time they include a cable anyway so fuck if I know

[umbral moss]

they do it because they promised 10 years of support after they finally killed the OG ipod connector

I mean, this is the tenth year of service for lightning

so it's time for the cable to die

[hard drift]

intel knows all about that

[sly elk]

The worst part about iPhone lightning connectors is they only do usb 2.0 speeds

All that expensive equipment, then using a flimsy cheap glass desk?

[umbral moss]

it's funny because basically every nice looking car was designed by pininfarina

and then people are like "wow this looks like $other.car" like $other.car wasn't also done by them lol

[latent grotto]

imagine a random program using 52GB of ram

[umbral moss]

firefox?

chrome?

[latent grotto]

i think its the news feed on the taskbar

[modest moss]

why is it even on

[latent grotto]

it was just always like that

anyway i have it off now

[odd sand]

This is why you turn that shit off on first bootup

It's kinda ridiculous the amount of shit I need to set to No/Off on first boot with a new install.

[sly elk]

Agreed that’s a really cheap desk

Like the $150 Best Buy desk lol

[dull garnet]

that much?

[modest moss]

icehunter malware confirmed

[dull garnet]

"buy lian li fans now!"

[dull garnet]

ice has lian li :p

wish noctua did a 140mm A12x25

970
3.5GB
xdxd

i'm sure 120 is fine for intake though, i'd just rather 140mm. reading the a12x25 have a more pleasant noise profile than their older design 140mm

I meant an updated A14

like the updated A12

those Phanteks T30 seem cool too. again though, only 120mm

[dull garnet]

have one of those on my cpu cooler, bought the F series for case...

didn't realise they were being discontinued, i think

could do if none of the traces are severed

[odd sand]

Anyone got a recommended PSU for $50 or less? I think ill keep the 850 when I do my upgrade, but that means to repurpose my old hardware ill need a PSU. Would be like a 1660ti and 9900k

I've been using evga for awhile and they seem fine enough. I know silverstone and seasonic are better, but also the price is higher then

[odd sand]

EVGA's problem is they have number-letter soup now

They have like a W/B/N/G/P lettering, then a bunch of numbers like G1-G5

And different number-letter pairs can be sourced from entirely different factories

[odd sand]

[odd sand]

All the EVGA PSUs at Newegg have like 35-50% off atm, kinda has me wondering whats up...

[odd sand]

It's highly tempting to get a 1000watt psu then just in case, but I really don't think I'll need more than 850 gold for the 3080 and 13900k unless I go for XXXTREME VM usage etc.

Yeah, I might run some docker containers or a VM at times, but I won't be using it as a server so it should be fine

Extra LGA 1700 brackets required, contact MFR for bracket

"LGA 1700 compatible"

it amazes me that the little airport express I have in this house has way more range than the unifi APs I use at home

if you wanna cosplay a sysadmin those unifi units are fantastic 😉

[odd sand]

Are you connecting via 2.4 or 5?

[sly elk]

5ghz, surprisingly

(admittedly I'm being a bit sarcastic there)

[odd sand]

Can you turn up the gain on the Unifi APs?

[sly elk]

unifi APs are usually designed so you have a grid of them all over your building/house

i should try that

[odd sand]

That is also true. My friends need to stop being cheap and try that. They're trying one AP and some shit extender to the guest bedrooms and it cuts out all the time

[sly elk]

lol

[odd sand]

Or I think they mentioned they're gonna try to run Cat6 thru the crawl space to that wing of the house

[sly elk]

^ that is the only really reliable way

you can mesh unifi APs but I'm not convinced it's reliable

with mine they work fine. FOR A WHILE

[odd sand]

I have a Nighthawk 7000P but the 5ghz is really flaky so I'm gonna dump it soon

I can't use it in my bathroom that's like direct-line 10ft away bc it has to cut thru 2 walls

And even in the same room it randomly decides to stop working

[paper tusk]

340 watts average max watts in stock, 400 with some factory overclocks, "more" for power spikes

13900k should consume 378W maxed out

[potent arrow]

Fucking hate mesh

I just installed access points throughout my house

God bless TP-Link

[royal forge]

Damn

So apparently

My friend's PC went balls to the walls

So thats why it was stupid ex

12900k?

3080ti

Ddr5 16 x 2

A cosair plat PSU

2 SATA SSDs instead of at least one nvme

[dull garnet]

Can't respect a 3080 ti

[royal forge]

Why

Beats a 3080

Tho i did query him on why not just goin 3090

But he said cuz prices for THAT was still high

[dull garnet]

could argue a 3090 is a workstation card but even so

[royal forge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I was eyein up the 3080

But the vram annoys me as I also like 3d rendering

[jaunty light]

@potent arrow sarah pls buy me this

[royal forge]

The fuck u doin with 12 tb

[jaunty light]

120TB!

probably like 60tb usable

[royal forge]

OH

THE FUCK U DOIN WITH 120 TB

[jaunty light]

[royal forge]

Smh. Not even 4k vr

Are those the WD green equivalent?

Unfamiliar with seagate
