crazy

O.O

going to need a commercial level circuit installed into my house to power this beast

[languid sequoia]

new mustang shots got leaked hours from the actual reveal

[odd sand]

Ouch those outliers

Also have them trace power draw and see if you can figure out why your bills are so high. Make sure you aren't paying for your neighbor

I suppose if you really wanted to get to the bottom of it: We're headed into fall so it's easier to test: Turn off the breakers to everything but the water heater and see what it draws when you go out for the day maybe. Or turn off only the water heater maybe and see if you can just subtract the difference from previous days

Do you not have access to your water heater? Should be easy to tell where the pipes go towards

Your baseboard heaters are electric not uhh... hydrothermal I take it?

Oh you still use a Plasma? Or is that OLED?

Shoulda got the microled I guess /s

But yeah that TV alone will be like 25-30/mo in power costs if you use it a lot

You reminded me to set my TV off timer to 30mins. Way too many days I just have it running on screensaver for hours and hours bc I get distracted

Need to install a laundry dryer-style tube from the back of the PC to outside /s

Or install a waterblock on the back and send the heat into the water heater :)

I think that's what Linus did, actually. They have all their PCs in a rackmount in the basement, so they're piping all the heat into the pool

But you could just as easily do the same technique to the water heater

[hard drift]

It’s a next gen platform, when intel released the features it wasn’t ready for prime time

Not to mention expensive, ddr5 has come way down in price now

Also pcie 5.0 isn’t needed for most people yet, and mid-high end has it still not really extreme budget

[frank sierra]

is this a good deal?

[hard drift]

Not really anymore

[frank sierra]

why is that

[hard drift]

Gpu prices have pretty much normalized/below msrp

[frank sierra]

how would you say that pc compares to this:

[hard drift]

Way better aside from it being hp but should be fine

Not to mention cheaper

[dull garnet]

a HP Omen is great for playing Doom

[frank sierra]

what do you mean? this is a bad pc?

[dull garnet]

its a joke cus

Omen

get it

[frank sierra]

no

dont worry im a boomer. i dont get a lot of zoomer jokes

[hard drift]

Doom is from the boomer days smh

That too 🙏 I’m a boomer mentally 😭

[frank sierra]

never played doom

first fps here was quake 3 arena

[dull garnet]

mine was doom

[hard drift]

Quake unreal tournament was better

My first fps was some recon game on the wii/resident evil on the wii

[dull garnet]

cringe!

and no UT was not better

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-spit-take-cracking-up-haha-so-funny-omg-gif-17921247

[dull garnet]

yes

i was like 5 or 6 and my cool uncle sat me in front of it

[frank sierra]

i liked quake 3 arena and ut2004

they both were good, in different respects

both games had killer ai

[modest moss]

I'm too young for all these games

boomers

my first shooter is fortnite

[hard drift]

Smh

[frank sierra]

not even halo? damn

halo was the first shooter i pulled allnighters for

[hard drift]

Hey now, i had more fun with it

[dull garnet]

shue is 50 years old

[modest moss]

no I'm not

[dull garnet]

basically

[frank sierra]

why can't they remake quake 3 arena or ut2004, i dont udnerstand

[modest moss]

you are basically a weeb

[hazy parrot]

Is this a decent spot to put my pc in or should I put it next to my monitor for now?

I plan on getting a second monitor on the right side soon

[modest moss]

I would kick that constantly

[dull garnet]

have you ever looked up what a c section is

[hard drift]

it's not terrible although i'd be afraid of pushing it off on accident

[dull garnet]

not fun

[hazy parrot]

[hard drift]

also i'd get monitor arms rather than just using the monitor stands

[modest moss]

I'd put it on the floor where the fan is probably

[dull garnet]

same

[hazy parrot]

Gotcha

I'm just worried that the chords might be stretched out a bit since the power strip is to the right of the desk

I'll try to move it to the left and see what I can do

[modest moss]

you can get longer cables

[hazy parrot]

I can?

[modest moss]

sure

[dull garnet]

or a better desk

[hazy parrot]

That might not be an option for now

Come jp in nov ice

Hopium levels at max!

[odd sand]

Gotta love people clipping and putting a watermark on a 5-10yo video

[jaunty light]

Flights ain't cheap for the dates im looking though. Sometimes I wish I was 5'9 so i could economy life

Prem eco should be fine on JAL but its 2k

Unless I get the middle seat. Give me window or aisle..

Biz is like 4500, nope from me. Or 2k on their sub zipair but not sure I wanna gamble as they piecemeal amenities and generally have arse reviews

Be neat to get window because I could hyperlapse the flight. Assuming they let me use a sucker on the window

I'll wait a little since nonrefundable lol

[astral ridge]

You got any credit card points or miles you can use? ANA has ridiculous deals with points, idk about JAL though.

Or if there would be dates open you could use them on.

Yeah - my wife and I actually flew first class 3 times

I guess it couldn’t last forever

[jaunty light]

I almost opened a csr or plat in 2019 for travel but glad I didn't

[sly elk]

i am not sure i'd even be allowed to fly economy on international flights

the seat's like 15" wide isn't it?

[jaunty light]

At this point the 3k amex would give me would just go to statement credit.

[jaunty light]

The standard seats on the 787-8 look children sized

Life is shrimple if you just follow the golden rule, just be rich.

[sly elk]

yya like it's not even my ass size I'm complaining about

but i have wide shoulders too]

[jaunty light]

I've already accepted the spend being 2k min

6'3 250 ain't fitting on no fucking economy seat

[sly elk]

that said, I can still fit on the harry potter ride at universal so

LOL

6'1 and 230 here

[jaunty light]

[odd sand]

That's what I'm thinking for next time. Every previous time I've gone regular economy, but I have the money now, so I'm thinking my knees will thank me if I choose Economy+ or whatever they want to call it

[jaunty light]

"Tall person tax" seats

[sly elk]

ye

but it's kinda fair

take up more space, pay more $$

[jaunty light]

That extra inch is gonna cost you $1k

[sly elk]

yea but if you NEED that extra inch, well, what can ya do man?

[jaunty light]

Im convinced i wouldnt fit in an eco seat anyways so its just licking glass at the savings i could have

[sly elk]

it depends

I can technically fit on southwest airlines

from what I've heard those seats are very roomy compared to your typical international economy seat

[odd sand]

I'm 5 11 and I don't need need the extra couple inches, but it sure does help to stretch out your legs

Otherwise you gotta walk around instead

International flights is where we all wish to be the little girl so an economy seat is like a throne we can curl up into and sleep normally /s

[paper tusk]

getting warmer

RTX 4090 can be pre-ordered through Vietnamese store AZPC Workstation. The standard version costs 50,000,000 VND, while the high-end one costs 60,000,000,000 VND. The equivalent US dollar amounts are $2100 and ~ $2500.

[odd sand]

What are the bill denominations there

Jacking up the price 30% a year now huh

1100 > 1500 > 2100

[inland mauve]

that's how much my current PC cost at the time

with a 1080 Ti

[royal forge]

Jesus christ. That costs more than my prev 970 build WITH the monitor

[paper tusk]

mood

[royal forge]

Jensen blood suckin motherfucker

[graceful pine]

2k for them lol

They’re expecting really really high demand obviously

Price will go down if they’re not selling as much as expected but that’s unlikely

[umbral moss]

why not? people gonna pay it and they don't want to undercut their 30 series leftovers that they can also sell at full price

I told you nerds this would happen because it happened with the 10 series and everyone was like "nah, they wouldn't do that"

https://tenor.com/view/hair-flip-flip-hair-fabulous-wig-gif-15177015

what a novel bug, whenever I copy a link out of firefox on my surface pro it freezes for 90 seconds

the rest of the programs work fine, it's just firefox having a stroke

[surreal condor]

Will the release of the 4090 series bring down the price of the 3080 Ti and the 3090 Ti?

I know nothing about computers, but I need to buy a new one. Teach me like I'm 5

[umbral moss]

no chance of cheaper 30 series GPUs

you'll be able to find them at MSRP, so I guess that's "cheaper"

but nvidia's pricing stack has generally been "we're not losing money on old inventory" when they get owned by crypto busts

so they just price the new series over the old one and tell everyone to suck it

[surreal condor]

Okay thanks

[umbral moss]

no EV option, big sad

but they had to make one big swing before they retire the gas engine line

[languid sequoia]

I personally really like it and will 100% buy one

not on year one, that'd be foolish

I'm waiting for shelby american to get their hands on it

[late basalt]

It’s a verge article so…

[odd sand]

Granted, it's more like bundling monitors with the GPU not the other way around. But we knew demand would eventually fall out

Dunno about now, but I heard at one point during the End Times, Rav4 Prime EVs had a 5 year waitlist

[umbral moss]

not falling out enough to keep nvidia from charging 30% more for the 40 series

[hard drift]

It’s still relevant

[odd sand]

Bc Nvidia is stubborn and has close to a monopoly, so they'll just wait you out.

They don't care if it cripples the PC games market, they want their 10 pounds of flesh

[umbral moss]

don't worry guys, AMD will be competitive on the RDNA 123 launch

[late basalt]

They’ll be competitive when they fucking hire competent software engineers

[odd sand]

AMD is always frustrating to follow their GPUs bc it's always this flux of driver stability, specific model hardware, and time

Looking back at the end of a gen they look like they were competitive, but then you realize the drivers took 18 months to bring them up to parity in performance and by then the cards are old

[umbral moss]

it's funnier because AMD powers the consoles and those aren't plagued with broken driver configurations

[odd sand]

Or it will be like 1 card out of 5 they release that actually are on par with the equiv Nvidia card

[umbral moss]

is it literally only possible to release a working AMD GPU if they have total control over the CPU too?

[late basalt]

Sony/MS probably sent them back and said “fix this shit now”

[odd sand]

There is something to be said for knowing the exact memory speed/latency/whatnot

[umbral moss]

the only thing that's on par with AMD/nvidia is the price

[hard drift]

Soon to be way less power draw for near same performance

[jaunty light]

Ass, ass, or ass, nvidia always gets its way

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-gif-25837101

[jaunty light]

[odd sand]

I figure I won't replace my 3080 for at least 4 years, so the 850w psu should be fine. And maybe by the 6080 or 7080 the power draw will be lower than 1200w /s

[sly elk]

i have to wonder how old, and what town this piuc was taken in

because dodge dart

probably midwest

WRDW-TV is a television station in Augusta, Georgia, United States

weird

the one that annoys me the most atm is the dodge hornet

ala hudson hornet

[umbral moss]

the dart is one of those cars that should have been cooler than it was but it's still made by chrysler/fiat so it's ultimately doomed to be garbo

[sly elk]

hornet

[sly elk]

they were trying to use the muscle cars as a halo to sell econoboxes

but american econoboxes have mostly been terrible

because the people in charge don't care about econoboxes

and when they do put effort into an econobox, it gets ridiculed

[languid sequoia]

My friend had a PT cruiser

we called it the PT loser

[umbral moss]

because american "effort" in econoboxes amounts to "use an imported bottom of the line design from a budget company in another country, and use shitty parts to save even more money"

[sly elk]

^ truth

they really phone it in every time

[umbral moss]

there hasn't been any effort in the small car segment from an american car company since the fucking cavalier

[sly elk]

even ford did, which is hilarious because euro fords were all about small

[umbral moss]

and that was only notable because the SS used a surprisingly quality four banger

[sly elk]

and for a short period

[umbral moss]

they adamantly refused to bring the focus RS stateside

[sly elk]

ford did sell the mondeo here

[umbral moss]

even though there's a huge demand for hot hatches

[sly elk]

yea

and to be fair it never resonated with the customer base anyway

[umbral moss]

like toyota is priming the corolla GR and everyone is like, sitting in line with their dicks out

[sly elk]

as the old saying goes

[umbral moss]

fast, aggressive, (relatively) cheap

[sly elk]

the people who would buy those cars

would rather buy a toyota anyway

but oh idk

[umbral moss]

if there was a corolla GR equivalent from an american company it would be plagued with bullshit issues like "oh yeh, sometimes the power steering pump just turns the wheel all the way to the left on its own and locks up"

[sly elk]

sometimes there's compelling arguments

like the charger/300 never had a good competitor from the american brands

[umbral moss]

"there's a wiring issue that causes the parking brake to engage when the transaxle shifts from fourth to fifth gear"

[sly elk]

ford and chevy just kept making stupid FWD alternatives in the same size/price that never sold

because why the fuck would you buy a lucerne or an impala when you could have a charger

[umbral moss]

ford made the taurus sho for like a year and a half

and the sho was surprisingly hot for its weight

[sly elk]

the taurus and the continental had the same problem too

[umbral moss]

coming in a few hundredths behind an evo on a road course is pretty good when you're 1000lb heavier

AWD twin turbo with EV level torque delivery

😌

[sly elk]

yea i rented a taurus limited once of that same variety

it was .. actually pretty darn nice

it just had really awkward proportions because it's a FWD car with a RWD design

same problem the continental had

and they did that thing where you open the door and the front seat goes back all the way

but because of the fwd, the seat would go back past the b pillar lmao

iirc it used the volvo d4 platform

ah, ford d4 - based on volvo P2

[odd sand]

Yeah I sat in one at the auto show around the time it first came out and couldn't believe how cheap the fit and finish was ... yet they were still charging like $30k for it or something

[odd sand]

I saw like 2 dozen of them in a pack while doing a road trip in Cali last year. Think it was like Memorial Day weekend and they were an enthusiast group heh

[languid sequoia]

loool, I absolutely hate cruisers

[odd sand]

I had the Kia dealership call me last week and called them back now. Wondered if there was like a recall or something. Nope, they wanted to make me an offer to buy my car off me lol

[languid sequoia]

but different strokes for different folks

[odd sand]

Bc used inventories are so low atm

[languid sequoia]

my 10 year old optima is currently valued at ~10k which is wild

[odd sand]

I bought my GT2 Stinger for 37k (which was already up like 2-3k from earlier in the year) and within 9 months it was worth 44k lol

your mistake is also obsessively following prices after purchase

What is figma in the context of creative software?

[jaunty light]

[odd sand]

Oh nice, I likes me some UX design

[jaunty light]

oh yeah? name every UX designer

[odd sand]

Is anyone surprised though? Adobe never makes their own thing, they always slap a big dick made of $100 bills into other apps faces and buy them

[jaunty light]

as long as adobe keeps giving me that sweet sweet unlocked editor so I can print fake $100 bills we're on cool terms

[royal forge]

Adobe is horrifying

[odd sand]

I have no idea, I just appreciate and am sensitive to UX in apps and games and I will make it a focus if/when I ever make a game

Maybe there are classes and guides and such now for UX, but when I first dipped my toe into Unity like 8 years ago there was jack shit lol

[jaunty light]

I always consider going UX route because nothing ever works the way I want it to work

should start a notebook of "wow I really hate how you use this" because I can't think of anything off the top of my head rn..

although I suppose how shit is programmed versus UX is not the same thing, but you know.

actually in general if you've used nessus manager I would trash can that whole design because it's fuckin awful

probably intentionally because they want to sell .io

[hard drift]

it's officially proof of stake 🙏

[odd sand]

Mine enough until you can stake?

[modest moss]

why did you hold it knowing this was coming?

[hard drift]

just sell it, never reaching extremely high again

[sly elk]

that's pretty impressive

hmm so I have a z-wave lock I used to use with a wink hub

but wink is pretty much dead now

... ordinarily I'd go get a rasperry pi and a z-wave dongle

but raspberry pis are unobtainable within a reasonable amount of time sooo

I could buy a new lock, but they're kinda expensive and hardware-wise the schlage lock I have is pretty nice

[boreal surge]

Basically UI design prototyping tool and yes includes UX flows

Gets used a fair bit in Meta

Think of it like lucid chart for UI, you basically get a bunch of drag and drop UI visual bits to help show what the total UI will look like

A godsend for avoiding having to actually rebuild UIs and their actual under the hood logic

[odd sand]

I dunno what lucid chart is either heh

[jaunty light]

its time to open that ux business you've always dreamed about

or sell your soul to adobe

[royal forge]

My god

Our govt has SUCH a cursed system for implementing shit

We have these KPIs, key performance indexes for work

Rather than having a template, the whole nation's govt servants have to copy paste from a word document the various activities and objectived

Every single entry needs a manual hard save

Making two entires before saving only saves one

Sometimes the database saves it twice so you have double the entries

We also have some "protocols" we're supposed to follow

There are 380 entries

10 laws per page
You can only simultaneously save the rules on that page, cuz changing the page will remove ur previous selection

I.. i just wanna have a talk with the person that designed this

Theres also a mandatory "work flow chart" for each objective

Even though it's not needed sometimes

Like, "attend further education"

Etc

But unless you upload an image, they wont save ur entry

But instead of, doing the normal thing and having JPGs of it

WE HAVE TO MAKE THE FLOW CHART IN WORD THEN USE THE SNIPPER AND SAVE THE SCREENSHOT

[jaunty light]

greetings, I'm here to tell you in the USA it's very similar

[royal forge]

Holy shit

[jaunty light]

it depends on your branch and it's a little less cursed and web based, but still

[royal forge]

Ours is web based too

Cant run on edge

[void dove]

that, doesn't make sense, Edge is chrome under the hood

thats next level stupidity if it works in Chrome but not Edge

most painful PC build CA

[hard drift]

This sounds like something you might be able to hack together a macro for with Power Automate

[latent grotto]

Do you trust dell

Do they not have a plastic sleeve or whatever that covers the monitor

[odd sand]

Just got one of these, hopefully it's decent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089GPQJ4R

[sharp star]

https://youtu.be/cV9QES-FUAM uh hello

[umbral moss]

🤔

you mean the partnership where evga makes cut-rate PCBs to the point that nvidia had to make their own reference GPUs to force evga's hand?

[sly elk]

get another commander pro

[odd sand]

Good luck with that EVGA. So are they only going to make AMD GPUs now?

[sly elk]

oh wow

but evga doesn't currently make amd gpus

[odd sand]

Also why is GN so fucking pretentious these days? I love Steve's coverage of products, but ever since the PCIE riser card fiasco, he's gotten such a big head and super obnoxious with the savior complex.

[umbral moss]

I thought they threatened to switch to AMD a few years back and nvidia responded with the founder's edition cards

which made them cry harder

[odd sand]

dramatic music for BGM and doing a zoom out zoom in globe/google maps shot ...

That's just the thing: EVGA needs Nvidia, not the other way around.

[sly elk]

i thought evga used to make the reference cards lol

like evga and msi

err

the ones that looked like a founders edition

[odd sand]

They might take a small hit in sales, but overall there are plenty of other AIBs for Nvidia

[umbral moss]

they only made reference cards until they bought abit

[sly elk]

before the founders edition existed

[umbral moss]

then they started making the kingpin cards starting with the, uh, 780?

EVGA terminates relationship with NVIDIA, ceases all video card manufacturing on grounds of disrespectful treatment, among other things. Employees told they will be 'taken care of,' but we don't see how all those jobs will persist ad infinitum: https://t.co/ZvgDYhcGXf

🤔

evga has been run by baboons since 2015-ish so this is kind of the end of the line

[sly elk]

too bad

i liked getting video cards from a company that wasn't entirely run in taiwan

[umbral moss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they're all made in taiwan so does it matter where the headquarters are?

[sly elk]

yes

yes it does

being TW with a large presence in the US helps, but being US-based tends to lead to better manuals and CS (but not always)

also maybe, just maybe, I like throwing a bit more money at companies that try to have american engineers instead of just shoving their ENTIRE ops into asia and going 'money machine go brr lol'

[odd sand]

Seriously I dunno what they're thinking bc the #1 thing I think of when I hear EVGA is GPUs

Then starting a few years ago they went heavily into PSUs, but since they're all rebadged from a hodgepodge of makers, they're basically in the same tier as Corsair in my head

Thermaltake is like 1 step below that lol

[umbral moss]

thermalfake

corsair also rebrands dogwater and SSS tier in the same product family, which is very annoying

[odd sand]

Those $25 Thermaltake PSUs...

[umbral moss]

but at least corsair indicates that "hey, this product is garbo"

[sly elk]

lol

ok ok fine

they're bsaically asian companies with american marketers and sales people

why is it so hard to set up a pick-and-place assembly system in the US?

if apple could build mac pros that way, certainly some sheister could build GPUs that way

[umbral moss]

logistics

we have an absolute bitch of a time getting stuff out of SEA to keep our manufacturing lines running these days

[sly elk]

well yea

they don't want you doing that

[umbral moss]

it's just easier to do all the manufacturing near the raw material processing

[sly elk]

in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they had jobs programs that dictated you couldn't just buy the raw materials

[modest moss]

after Ice's gpu I'd never have bought or recommended an evga gpu anyway

[sly elk]

I've owned evga, gigabyte, sapphire, msi, zotac, and asus gpus

can't say I really give a shit about the brand

i kinda dislike asus though

it feels like everyone pushes it as an "obvious choice" brand that doesn't deserve that rep.

[dull garnet]

muh meaty chokes

[odd sand]

I would say zotac and sapphire are the sketchier ones on that list

[umbral moss]

asus isn't great but it isn't plagued with dogshit issues either

if you have a problem with an asus board it's not especially common

[hard drift]

unless you're ice

[umbral moss]

well, he played with the monkey's paw so

[sly elk]

or you have a problem but a ton of people also do

because like 90% of builders use asus

[umbral moss]

asus used to be really bad back in the day, they had their own subforum for problems on anandtech lmao

[dull garnet]

never had issues with my asus cards

and i've had like 3 in recent years

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-hart-stand-up-comedy-you-gone-l-earn-today-learn-learning-gif-5099594

[sly elk]

using ice's build as a measuring stick

at least he got a working GPU out of evga

he didn't get a working asus motherboard

[hard drift]

working *

[sly elk]

and "I paid for those PCI slots, I'm going to use those PCI slots" is valid

[hard drift]

he had the issues of power or whatever/still has them

[sly elk]

i've been thinking about whether to pay like 160 for a chinese nuc ripoff

or buy an actual nuc for 199 and then buy an ssd/ram for it

to run my home assistant crap

[umbral moss]

isn't his issue that he believes that the +12V rail allocation is insufficient and that's why his PC keeps shitting itself

not that he has some other severe issue like not having enough power overhead to accept any vdroop

[hard drift]

maybe idk, i don't keep up with his issues anymore it's just too much of a headache lol

[devout nexus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12Hcbx33Rb4

wow....

[sly elk]

lol the way I see it

evga is saying "we don't wanna deal with those sheisters anymore"

everyone else will read it as "nvidia refused to do business with the sheisters known as EVGA anymore"

[umbral moss]

I'm 100% confident that the issue is that evga is just pissed nvidia is releasing FE cards for the 40 series first

and not supplying evga with enough GPUs for the 40 series launch

[hard drift]

i mean probably but if the point of aibs finding out pricing last minute is true, that's terrible for making decent profit cards especially when founders editions exist

[umbral moss]

nvidia gonna nvidia

they're probably looking to cut out AIBs so they can pocket more profit

[sly elk]

that would suck

[odd sand]

Makes sense, bc Nvidia can't fathom losing profits on older inventories, so they're gonna hamper 40 series production as much as possible

[sly elk]

it's not like they've taken production of the FE cards seriously

[hard drift]

not to mention limiting places you can buy it

[sly elk]

maybe nvidia was trying to force them to take a huge loss

[odd sand]

I think it's more they're butthurt TSMC wouldn't let them back out of their production contract for wafers

[sly elk]

eg "sell your leftover 30 series for this much or we're not going to let you have 40 series chips"

[devout nexus]

ive heard a lot of things in the years ive been working with evga

like 13 years

nvidia drags their partners so bad

[odd sand]

So probably Nvidia wants to sit on as much of it as possible and just release it later with a bit more VRAM so they can charge $200/GB for said VRAM /s

[devout nexus]

on profit. like most promotions are out of AIB margins and they sometimes even FORCE them to sell at a loss

[sly elk]

that's also kinda weird thinking on their behalf

maybe they should back some game devs to make popular games to make more demand for their gpus?

[odd sand]

Nvidia has gotten to the level of late-stage capitalism where delivering the product is secondary to revenue/margins

If they can make more revenue not releasing cards, they'll do it even if it fucks everyone else over

[sly elk]

I like the level where they fuck their long term stability, reputation, and profits, to get more profits RIGHT NAO

[devout nexus]

yeah thats is def a late stage capitalism problem for SURE

the #1 in my view

[odd sand]

Quarter two? No! Quarter NOW!

[devout nexus]

all this short term business logic

no one thinks like a legacy

they think about 1 quarter

yeah exactly Shinon

[sly elk]

that's great and all

until your competitor is massively backed by a government with deep pockets

and years of screwing yourself come due

[odd sand]

It's the same problem with AAA game companies now. They're no longer in the business of games, they're in the business of "recurrent user spending"

[devout nexus]

yep

a good example kyanche is d-link and tp-link

[sly elk]

gah

I straight up blame apple for that one shinon

[devout nexus]

tp-link is state bakced and running on 0% profit

[sly elk]

as much as I don't want to

it's their fucking fault

[devout nexus]

and literally using the same assembly line as d-link. so they took their tech and undercut them stealing global market share

once they kill d-link im certain they will jack up the price

[sly elk]

yea

[devout nexus]

its like playing monopoly against someone who ahs unlimited money

its not fair at all

[sly elk]

tp-link used to even look like d-link lmaol

idk if that's still the case

[devout nexus]

so much of how we think our society works is just a lie.

[sly elk]

but IIRC their early shit looked identical

[devout nexus]

yep

it did

[sly elk]

i don't buy tp-link just because

[devout nexus]

even the logo

[odd sand]

I noticed that, that's funny.

[devout nexus]

same here, i literally had the VP of TP-Link FLY IN un announced and try to get my fired in front of the CEO

[odd sand]

Are they based out of Taiwan or CN?

[sly elk]

i'll stick with my janky ubiquiti hardware

or maybe eventually move over to cisco meraki or something idk

or

[devout nexus]

they went through 4 regional sales reps in 6 months its such a shit company

[sly elk]

or get a netgate and run pfsense the expensive way hahaha

[devout nexus]

CN

[hard drift]

why is it fucked?

[devout nexus]

not sure yet icehunter im trying to book a call with evga ill let ya know what they say

but they not answering right now

[sly elk]

-gulp-

[hard drift]

they already said they plan to keep doing warranty stuff in the video

[sly elk]

I was thinking about that when I saw the GN video

like

.. should I sell my gpu?

[devout nexus]

o tahts good

[hard drift]

and that the stock will probably run out around end of 2022 i believe

[devout nexus]

https://forums.evga.com/Official-Message-from-EVGA-Management-m3574574.aspx

[modest moss]

they can't just not honour a warranty

you have a contract

[sly elk]

ye

i wonder how that will work

[modest moss]

if it fails and they have no replacement they'll have to refund you I'd assume

[devout nexus]

you'll be fine icehunter

it sounds like they gonna be honorable about all that

[modest moss]

evga are not going out of business

[sly elk]

yet

but aside from the PSUs, they don't really have anything else going for them

they have overpriced motherboards that hardly anyone ever buys

they have AIOs that they basically have to give away to sell

they have a hideous case

and they have keboards and mice that they basically also give away

like yea, the only viable product lines they have after this are motherboards and PSUs

yea

unless they turn around and say they'll be making AMD GPUs now

they're FUCKED

[devout nexus]

their mobos are overpriced but super duper quality. like cartoon level

[sly elk]

I really wanted one but the reviews always seem to pan them as 'meh'

i like the idea behind their extreme overclocking boards where they just try to make the best fundamentals and the hell with the flashy shit

but it doesn't appear to give them an edge?

I really like how clean their boards look

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/87875/nvidia-helps-aibs-purge-old-gpus-compromise-of-aib-revolt/index.html

i guess there's still PNY if you really care about US-based AIBs

[deep sapphire]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

THIS IS A HUGE BLOW TO BOTH EVGA AND NVIDIA

[hard drift]

yup

Probably see evga go back to nvidia in the coming years or go to amd/intel but i doubt they’ll survive long without gpus

[deep sapphire]

this happened a long time back with XFX too

XFX were exclusive to nvidia

[hard drift]

Yeah

[deep sapphire]

then basically said nvidia are assholes and went to AMD

[hard drift]

And they have been amd since

I would go xfx if they looked better 😭

[odd sand]

It's almost like a virtual monopoly is bad /s

Then again, Intel shows that there isn't much that can be done about it at this point bc it costs too much capital to break into GPUs at this point

[cold yacht]

Man that’s wild EVGA really did cut ties

[deep sapphire]

I dunno why tbh

they barely make any money lol

AMD sucks lol

lol

||||

[cold yacht]

I just remember hearing xfx is the lower tier amd brand

[umbral moss]

the fact that evga's warranty used to be "just send it back, even if it's two generations out of date" and now it's "we can basically tell you to eat shit whenever we feel like it" is why nvidia treats them like garbage now

a bloo bloo, nvidia doesn't give us preferred partner treatment after we mismanaged our company into the ground and pissed all over our customer goodwill

clearly it's nvidia's fault

[dull garnet]

i love the gamers nexus thumbnail

you'd think something serious had happened

[graceful pine]

AMD cpu Nvidia gpu all the way

It’s kinda just funny

Nvidia not revealing the price is arguably following the law

By avoiding price collusion stuff(supposed to be illegal)

It’s just funny

[umbral moss]

Trade-in any headphone with an MSRP of $1499 or more, and you can buy a brand new LCD-5 or CRBN electrostatic for only $2495. For example, trade-in a Sennheiser HD800, Stax L700, or Focal Clear.

what a deal, buying $4000 headphones

[graceful pine]

Really that’s a deal being offered lol

Actually for recording studios maybe

That could well be good there

[umbral moss]

I wish I had the money to be like "yeah the LCD-5 is really good"

I'm sure it sounds just as good as a $500 pair of headphones

[graceful pine]

Like for a studio

You’ll record vocals through a U87

That’s industry standard

At home nah unless you’re a pro musicians

Those mics are like 3 grand

Drums though you’d just use like a few sm57

Which is only 100 bucks

If you want to be fancy you’d use a D 112 on the kick

And sm-57’s for snare toms and cymbals

[royal forge]

Its govt standard

[graceful pine]

You’d think Japan would be higher tech than that

[odd sand]

Sure, but you could still theoretically automate a lot of the data input for that form via Power Automate if its XLS

[potent arrow]

https://youtu.be/cV9QES-FUAM

Holy shit

.-.

.-. .-. .-.

Fuck

This is actually kinda depressing lol

Rip EVGA, you will be missed

[sly elk]

I like the ones who go nuts spending 50k to play music recorded on a cheap audio rig

[potent arrow]

What the fuck is the last point

[sly elk]

Wasn’t there a record company that was like “yea we just print digitized music onto the records” hehe

[dull garnet]

Ultimately all the hardware is at the mercy of the recording/production

:p

[deep sapphire]

I kinda saw the writing on the wall when nvidia started producing its own cards

That must’ve pissed off all the board partners

[potent arrow]

Nvdia has done some allegeded assinine stuff

Like not letting the partners know the price of the chips till Jensen is on the stage

That too

But the fact that EVGA is killing 80% of it's income and not expanding is fucking wild

[deep sapphire]

Yeah not entirely sure what their end game goal is here. Maybe they want to put pressure on nvidia. Losing evga is a brutal loss for them being they were the largest AIB partner

[mortal condor]

I'm just here for the Evga x Nvidia break up fallout

[sly elk]

eventually some musician will be all like "ye we just recorded this on iphones"

"my studio? it's just a blue yeti and an iphone"

https://tenor.com/view/bang-dream-bandori-anime-noo-scared-gif-16570497

with the stuff on the radio these days, i doubt anyone would notice a difference

[hard drift]

there will be no fallout 🙏 just a dumb move to not do any gpus at all

[frozen bolt]

Does this EVGA break-up mean anything to us normal customers other than losing the best customer service support in the biz?

[hard drift]

not really, just means aibs have fewer competitors/consumers have to look at new options

[sharp star]

I just got caught up

Jensen should go fuck a goat imo

[jaunty light]

1 step closer to asus supremacy

[hard drift]

It won’t be asus supremacy lmao it’ll be nvidia is the only option

take the aib out and then you can make all the money without the aibs 🙏

[boreal surge]

Only thing I can think of is board wants to retire and doesn’t see anyone wanting to buy the company

[jaunty light]

I love monopoly

[sly elk]

lmao TIL the apple mouse still works when plugged in

[hard drift]

They said no when asked. No gpus as of now at all

[sly elk]

apparently they lost a lot of $$ at the end of the 30 series now

it sounds to me like nvidia's deal for 40 series just was going to not be profitable at all?

I don't find that concept too shocking

outside of a mining boom, hardware targeted towards gamers is a pretty small niche

i think nvidia makes most of their $$ selling quadro cards to people that don't really need them

[deep sapphire]

@potent arrow just bought a koken 3/8th ratchet and some sockets

Fuckin 270 bucks

But supposedly they have like zero back lash and I’m tired of using ratchets that suck at that

[potent arrow]

Yoooo

[deep sapphire]

Japanese made tools

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0593/5480/8475/products/Untitleddesign_1296x.png?v=1654534300

Some pretty lookin sockets if I’d say so myself

And that polish

obb

[modest moss]

that's basically no games at all

'replay value'

lol

it was too hard for me, I couldn't be fucked to practise enough

so I cheated and had fun

it's a good game

I did too, after they fixed it some

[deep sapphire]

Those sockets sound really nice to, holds onto the nut so you don’t have to worry about it falling off lord knows how many times I’ve just backed shit off my by hand knowing I’ll end up losing it

[modest moss]

Hank you'll use the tools a lot right?

How long would you expect them to last?

[deep sapphire]

They’ll hold up fine, I’ve only had one ratchet fail on me and it was some cheap piece of shit

[modest moss]

Five years? More?

[deep sapphire]

Assuming I don’t abuse it probably more tbh

[modest moss]

Probably a solid investment then

[deep sapphire]

Ye

I’ve been looking for a premium 3/8th ratchet for a couple weeks now. My little Milwaukee one is nice but it’s small and doesn’t have a flex head

Plus no comfort grip which sucks if you have to smack on it with your palm

They don’t offer a lot of SAE stuff though which sucks but not surprised seems more automotive stuff which is all metric

[modest moss]

just make the green giant boys switch

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

[modest moss]

tell them they're due an upgrade

[deep sapphire]

It’s funny when units are mixed. All socket drives are in SAE units but most fasteners are metric

1/4” 3/8” 1/2” etc

[modest moss]

just keep buying tools until you have a full set of each

get another giant tool chest

metric chest, imperial chest

[deep sapphire]

Lmao I have some metric tools but almost everything I work on is SAE

[modest moss]

still, you might change jobs, or rejoin the british empire, be prepared

it's an excuse to buy more tools

plus your new truck will be metric af

[sly elk]

and then to add to that, they add numbers to fuck with ya

like M6

[agile roost]

New iPhone’s dynamic island is sexy

Lord have mercy

[royal forge]

Ye, but you know it, i know it but well.

yay I can see my cameras over the vpn from my phone on lte. sweeeet.

I thought frontier was expensive

all of the plans come with 1.25TB data usage a month

[sly elk]

nah

Holy shit that's a ripoff

[sly elk]

yea for reals

vegas needs that google fiber rollout badly xD

[odd sand]

Charter in this area is like that price for 500/35. I pay that for 500/500 (theoretically, my uplaod is actually a lot lower than that i need to look into it heh)

[sly elk]

oh you haven't heard the best part

i'm paying that 66.99

and getting 50/5

and there's no way to fix that from the website without consenting to an $18/mo router

neat

wasn't that the one that linus reviewed

ah maybe not

those are 799 on newegg, nice.

[odd sand]

At speeds that slow even a docsis 3.0 modem should be fine

[sly elk]

I am using a docsis 3.0 modem 😄

I bought it in 2011 lol

surprised they didn't put a rotary dial on there lmao

[odd sand]

Use it harder! /s

[sly elk]

man these things are fugly

so the story goes, vacation house: I used a UPS for the modem/router and some of the cameras, thinking that they'd stay on if the power went out

instead the UPS died after about a year

and killed power to everything

I fell for that trick twice ><

[odd sand]

Battery died that quickly? How often did the vacation house lose power lol

[sly elk]

i think it's being locked in a closet with 100 degree temps

also those UPS are from like 2015 so they're dead dead now

last time i changed the ups was in 2018

i seriously think it onl lasted a year though

they were cheap cyberpower units that look like a really fat surge protector

d00m

yea, but 110/month ehheh

[sly elk]

changed my mind, edgeOS is pretty sweet

i'm bummed ubiquiti abandoned it

[real edge]

that looks like the base of an ancient telephone

[sly elk]

right XD

thus the comment on rotary dials

[dull garnet]

53 is the highest temp i can get out of my 5600X on a cheap tower cooler lol

Now to figure out the slowest I can run my fans at

[royal forge]

Alright

Canon

Why are ur drivers shit

Its a scanner printer combo and u only detect the scanner

FFS man, why u breakin my balls

I just wanna print shit

Why u gotta be fucking weird

The fuckin printer cant even be autodetected

[graceful pine]

Fairly normal nowadays to put digitally recorded music onto vinyl yes

Digital recording is absolutely fine of course plenty good

Old school analog tape sure it can have a cool vintage sound but you can get that sound digitally

And it’s way harder to work with

And no one in their right mind would ever record music on a blue yeti

An sm 57 or 58 is cheaper with far better quality

Or you could spend a little more for an sm-7b

[dull garnet]

that is one perk of my samsung laser mono

plug it in and windows detects it without needing to do anything else

[potent arrow]

I prefer my sm57 over my sm7b

But the sm57 is basically the same sound

[graceful pine]

7b is better for vocals

57 is great for things like drums or guitar amps

[potent arrow]

Although you would need an xlr interface

[graceful pine]

Super versatile obviously

[potent arrow]

I just do podcast recording

And VA stuff

[graceful pine]

7b is the standard there

Though the real real high end standard is the U87

But you need an isolation booth for that lol

[potent arrow]

I really want a u87 lol

I actually have a design in mind to make my own

I'm just gonna buy the capsule

https://www.micandmod.com/microphone-parts/microphone-capsule/k87-capsule/

I have everything else in electronic components

Solder it to perf board and put it in a 3D case

*3D printed

[graceful pine]

Have fun there

[potent arrow]

In terms of electronics I don't think it'll be the hardest project I've tackled

[sly elk]

eh?

I thought the sm7b was just a mic for douche podcasters

didn't know people used it for music, too

[jaunty light]

Its a widely used studio mic

[sly elk]

shows what I know

I would've assumed they'd use a sm48 or sm58 or something of that sort

[jaunty light]

Everyone has one because everyone has one for streaming

[sly elk]

never seen a singer singing into an sm7b

[jaunty light]

Shure plays it up like its a famous mix but im pretty sure what they dont say is that the sm7, not the B is what some famous studios used

[sly elk]

that's not to say it isn't good for it, just never seen it

[jaunty light]

or the sm57 I forget but there's a lot of mics out there

it makes a lot of sense to see it for podcasting or streaming though because your main alternative in its price range is an EV where you pay as much or more, then you pay again for the suspension mount lol

[graceful pine]

It’s used all the time

It was mick Jaggers preferred studio mic(alongside a condenser mic like a u87)

[graceful pine]

58’s are for live music

Not studio usage

[graceful pine]

Both

The sm7b is the same thing just a newer model of the old sm7(with a bigger windscreen that’s about it)

And 57 is the gold standard for snare micing

Michael Jackson recorded his voice through it for thriller too(SM7)

[sly elk]

hmm this house's phone jacks have cat3 cable lol dangit

[sly elk]

aside from the aesthetics, i am fine with the apple watch

i like its functionality

the apps are kinda poorly designed

[hard drift]

the functionality of an apple watch you can achieve with other smart watches tbf 🙏

[sly elk]

my favorite example is in the ECG app, once you've taken an ECG, it would rather trap you in the legal disclaimers page than anything else

yea

some have additional functionality too

when I bought mine, it was the only one that had ecg, but i had an s0 so whatever

[hard drift]

not to mention better scratch resistance 🙏

apple watches have sucked for the screen scratch resistance imo

[sly elk]

the design is so meh

and the new one is hideous lol

outside samsung, who else is making watches right now?

I honestly haven't paid attention in ages since I hvaen't been in the market for a new watch in ages

i mean quite a few brands make smart watches, it really depends what features you're after

if i were working in the office I would probably need a dumb watch lol

[jaunty light]

Its shrimple just dont be poor

[sly elk]

friend of mine claims it's not a waste because he can resell his watch for nearly what he paid

yea the thing that used to make me laugh on reddit was whenever i saw a porsche post on /r/cars i'd check the post history of the OP

every damn time

watches.

looking at /r/porsche now it seems i'm wrong XD

[jaunty light]

I knew someone that had the same sentiment idk how legit that actually is other than based on brand

I understand if you buy stuff because of its craftsmanship, ive paid big bucks for knives or teaware even tho cheaper stuff isn"just as good"

But thats like $20 vs $100. Not $100 vs $15000

Yea fr. I get it cuz ive almost bought "big name" in knives then I was like.. do I actually want this?

Not shit like kramer btw. Stuff like masakage

[sly elk]

it's funny how having the right tool for the job sometimes makes an enormous difference

That one has a worse CPU, wouldn't go for something like that at that price

[lapis pagoda]

idk what to do then, they're all too expensive

[modest moss]

is your laptop actually broken? if not, I'd consider holding off for black friday

[dull garnet]

Or blue monday

[royal forge]

Mine is. Help

[modest moss]

Buy something

You are beyond help

[royal forge]

I know

I did go window shopping at our biggest pc hardware mall

I really gotta say

Lian li makes CHONKY cases

of course it's a fomo deal link

not liking that thermal design very much

[lapis pagoda]

that one says it's unavailable nearby, and id rather not wait i was hoping to buy one this month for my birthday

[paper tusk]

hmm

newegg has an i5 (11 gen) + 3060 ti but honestly would wait if possible

[royal forge]

Isnt the announcement in like 2 to 3 days?

[paper tusk]

yeah

the 20th (when i reinstalled driver to try to fix a visual glitch there was a slide for the event. problem is windows 11 not firefox/drivers)

8 am PDT

[modest moss]

@lapis pagoda Amazon has this for 1300 which is pretty decent https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-PO3-630-UA15-i7-11700F-Keyboard/dp/B09K82B7VP

idk what the other nerds think

11th gen i7, 3070

[paper tusk]

that's probably fine. 11 gen has no future (upgrades) but not like gen 13 does either

[modest moss]

yeah, it should be solid for a good few years I'd say

[paper tusk]

I'm not a fan of 3070 but again it'll work(tm). could be much worse

4xxx launch is going to be low key awful if what i know is correct

[lapis pagoda]

honestly i dont need it to be fantastic, ive been dealing with a shitty gaming laptop for years, i just want it to be able to play games nicely

[modest moss]

that will definitely play games nicely, most stuff on high to max settings at up to 1440p

it will max out XIV easy

[paper tusk]

4090: halo card. ripoff unless you use it for work
4080 16 gb: standard top end
4080 12 gb: waste of silicone. do not buy, do not pass go, do not preorder it at all
4070: upper mid range

[lapis pagoda]

do yall know if there's anything that might be cheaper even if its a little worse? like, my standards here arent super high and id like to save money if i can

sorry for asking so much, i dont know much about computers at all

[paper tusk]

i see an i5 (10th gen) + 3060 ti but i would consider it very sus at the asking price (1200 bucks)

[modest moss]

are you set on a desktop?

sometimes I think a laptop is better for some people, no need to spend on peripherals like monitor/kb

tbh can't see a great laptop price right now

[paper tusk]

and if have a microcenter around there's this nugget https://www.microcenter.com/product/648319/asus-rog-strix-ga15dk-gaming-pc-platinum-collection?ob=1

a lot of laptop prices are hovering around 1300 usd which isn't exactly helping https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/search/?q=laptop&sort=new&restrict_sr=on

[modest moss]

that Asus for 1200 is a pretty good deal, only 100 more than the one @lapis pagoda originally linked and much better

[lapis pagoda]

unavailable in my state

[sly elk]

oo that one

the way to make that one better is to swap a 240mm aio watercooler in

(no seriously, I don't recommend that, it's just kinda noisy with the stock heatsink in some builds)

[modest moss]

[paper tusk]

a thermalright 2 tower cooler should work fine if the asus has a hockey puck (not sure about case specs. not really in the mood to find out since I'm not exactly replacing what i have now)

friend needed a sub 1000 system and i suggested a msi prebuilt (that came with a v5 instead of a puck cooler)

it's so far been working very fine apart from some annoyances adding old storage in (and 3060 non-ti is mehtastic)

[paper tusk]

I want this since it's an absolute unit but fuck paying $150 for something from 15 years ago https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-HAF-EVO-Motherboard/dp/B00FFJ0H3Q

[dull garnet]

And the ugliest case ever award goes to the above

[paper tusk]

hey it has carrying handles :^)

[jaunty light]

Yknow why do people buy first party mogami when you can have customs made for half the price

[sly elk]

getting jinx fishbones vibes

[jaunty light]

I almost did, then pro audio la had.. the exact same cables for $22 not $60

"So, I hate to say it, but beside these loose wires and the fact that it may set your house on fire, it seems pretty safe"

[sly elk]

HEHE 😄

so you can do this

unifi controller <- vpn -> edgerouter <-> unifi AP

I mean, I expected that would work 100% though so

no surprises

I wonder if it'll give me the same SSIDs

OH SWEET IT DID

nice

[modest moss]

curry

1 thing

[jaunty light]

kewpie and gochugaru

[sly elk]

ok I'm actually pretty pleased with how things worked out with hubitat and that door lock lol

and more importantly hubitat has a friggin webpage

so I can do things with the zwave goodies without my phone

[noble finch]

anyone with exp on django, weird question yea

[modest moss]

good movie, jamie foxx is great in it

[sly walrus]

i don't speak python on a conversational level

[modest moss]

wondering if @tame fulcrum or @boreal surge might have a clue

[noble finch]

I just have a table thats in a for loop, I need items in that table to redirect into another page with its value

html table

click

hangon

right now I have something like
<tr><td>{{value.id}} <a href="somewhere else"></td></tr>

yeah

[potent arrow]

I mean if it's html I'll just use an external JS script with an event listener

Everytime the table is unfocused, it'll update the table

But uh, I am an EE so my solutions are very fucked

[noble finch]

do you have an idea what the views look like

[potent arrow]

God knows web dev shit is fucking wild

[noble finch]

alright Ill try that

uhh right now I have a context from the 'parent' view with the data, I do have the value of data I just need to pass it along to the next html

[modest moss]

No.

You ain't buying shit

I'll mute you forever

your pc is great and it actually works atm

don't rock the boat lol

I'll set Sarah on you

[potent arrow]

I'm watching

Dw

Ice if you want to keep spending frivolous amounts of money throw some my way 😉

[modest moss]

he still didn't order my steamdeck yet

[potent arrow]

_>

[modest moss]

that 500 covers my steam deck

get on it

[potent arrow]

34" with a 27 vertical

20$ of that 500$ will make me a happy girl

Lbro your desk set up gives me claustrophobia

God ;-;

I need to clean mine tho Lol

[boreal surge]

I got python knowledge, not necessarily django

and same as ice, I'll prolly google half of the answer too

[modest moss]

[potent arrow]

thats actually empty ;-;

I need more

[modest moss]

surprised you let yourself run out
