I'm still really surprised Intel is setting the 13900K that low when everyone feared it would be like $700+

[modest moss]

nearly 3 actually

[hard drift]

i don't think they can put it much higher since x3d will likely be around the same price for the 8core version and beat even the 13900ks

[sharp star]

they really announced a 13900KS huh

[hard drift]

preparation for the x3d coming q1 next year supposedly

and you won't get an updated dlss

get fucked 30 series owners

playing windowed 🤢

still trash

[dull garnet]

i've been enjoying it lately <_<

[hard drift]

not the game that's trash, windowed mode is trash

[dull garnet]

i got this thing

its op as shit

[hard drift]

i'm waiting for the 2023 update

then i'll try it again

[dull garnet]

i completed it on like 1.04

lol

new game on 1.6

[hard drift]

i completed it back when it was new 😔

dad and i both played it despite the bugs

[dull garnet]

i didn't get too many bugs

it still has bugs tbh

the ui bugs are more annoying than anything back then. but at least police aren't terminators

[hard drift]

i had boss enemies straight up not attack me/stand still allowing me to beat them to death lol

it's a gpu bound game

[dull garnet]

oh lol

[hard drift]

it literally is a gpu bound game 🤨

[dull garnet]

i found with the monowire that i could stagger lock cyberpsychos

[hard drift]

at 1080p it might be cpu bound but overall the game is gpu bound

[dull garnet]

i'm playing on the rt medium preset

[hard drift]

that's why if you raise the resolution it pretty much stays the same no matter the cpu up to a point

[dull garnet]

5~10% cpu utilisation and my gpu is always pegged

is your pc okay

[paper tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfM0GqsIB6c

[dull garnet]

because samsung make garbage

[hard drift]

it's still gpu bound 🤨

you can even watch testing on it, gpu bound

[rough tundra]

You won’t

Because cyberpunk is unoptimized shit

Good story tho

[dull garnet]

well...

[rough tundra]

Horrible engine and optimization

[dull garnet]

it looks nice at least

[rough tundra]

Oh yeah it’s beautiful

[hard drift]

here's an example at 1080p proving it's gpu bound not cpu, everything performs about the same within margin of error at 1080p from 12100f and upward

that's at 1080p

you're at 1080p no shit

[rough tundra]

If your gpu is performing less then your cpu then you are gpu bound

[hard drift]

you realize the settings right???

it's 1080p medium

and you turned off rtx?

i'm talking on medium

[odd sand]

Hopefully we get some benchmarks on DDR4 vs DDR5 for Z790 boards

[hard drift]

nobody should buy z790 smh

literally not a soul

[dull garnet]

ice should

[rough tundra]

Not even worth buying ddr5 if your ddr4 ram is at least 3200mhz lol

[hard drift]

ice isn't a soul 🙏 ice is the embodiment of bad luck

[dull garnet]

[hard drift]

that gpu bottleneck

jesus

[dull garnet]

actually that software might just be garbage

[hard drift]

what's task manager say?

[hard drift]

is that with the game focused?

also where's the gpu readout on that

[dull garnet]

turn off dlss

[hard drift]

yeah as expected

i blame your VM

[rough tundra]

Your gpu must be bad then

Or it’s bad software on it

Try uninstall gpu driver

Then reinstalling

[hard drift]

i mean ice touched it

it's bad for sure

you touched it

[rough tundra]

My 3080 gets better fps then ur 3090 is on that game

So something’s going on

Try reinstalling cyberpunk

Shouldn’t matter but

[hard drift]

that's your first mistake using epic

[rough tundra]

Epic store is poop

Steam ftw

Hmm

[jaunty light]

All they did was delete the gsync module?

[hard drift]

i mean more affordable is nice 🙏 plus freesync premium pro isn't terrible although actual gsync is better

[modest moss]

just tested my cyberpunk, everything maxed, dlss on auto, rtx on ultra, 60-65fps and gpu is at 95%+ with cpu below 50%

[jaunty light]

He's ballin

[sly elk]

LOL

oh yea i was gonan mention that to ya earlier

but the gsync one is probably cheaper anyway

if it were me i'd get the gsync one because i would want it to match my existing monitors

[hard drift]

@tame fulcrum remind me when home and I’ll see how cyberpunk runs

I’ve got a long work night 😔

[deep sapphire]

That phone looks old af though

[agile roost]

looks like a 6

[modest moss]

no clue if those are the best settings but w/e

also

[modest moss]

what settings though? rtx on ultra etc?

so spending 3x as much gets you an extra 17.5 fps on average

bargain

gap would be wider at 4k I'm sure, but I don't have a 4k display unless I plug my tv in

ridiculous game

playing elden ring atm

capped at 60 fps

can't tell

I think a high hz monitor might be wasted on me

[umbral moss]

high refresh rate is hard to "see" but it becomes noticeable if you need to do stuff in the intermediate frames

[sly elk]

samsung as usual: "YOU WANT MORE NITS?! WE HAVE THE MOST NITS! WE'LL GIVE YOU MORE NITS THAN ANYONE!"

samsung execs strike me as that kid next door

"THE IPHONE BROUGHT BACK A HEADPHONE JACK?! FINE WE'LL STICK 6 ON OUR GALAXY S HEADPHONE EDITION"

6 months later: The oppo Headphone 8 has 8 headphone jacks!

i'm surprised nobody made a camera buldge on the front of the phone lmao

[modest moss]

fucking 2 years away

[graceful pine]

apple added a headphone jack back

oh a converter

those already existed lol

[sly elk]

i wish lol

I was joking about a feature

[deep sapphire]

Those things were piles of shit

[sly elk]

the convo on hackernews: some random manager: I make my remote employees have their webcam on at every meeting 100% of the time so I know they're paying attention to me like adults

derp?

I could be at my desk paying attention to them and barely in the field of my webcam xD

[late basalt]

Without context I feel like that tweet is a reference to another Deadpool movie

great quality as usual

[jaunty light]

hyundai gang

[jaunty light]

Man they really be slapping a sticker on it then charging $999

[void dove]

they also put the EVGA logo, but on a 45 degreee slant, because cool

its really difficult to do you know

[umbral moss]

is that what they spent their freed up budget on after dumping GPUs?

[sly elk]

where's the x670

well ya see, the classified board has 4 ram slots

[odd sand]

So much for $564 huh

[odd sand]

Does this count?

Or this classic from like 10 years ago

[sly elk]

no i was thinking on the screen side

the oppo n1 had a rotating camera, it's the closest thing to a stupid big camera

galaxy a80 also

we need to revisit this

[odd sand]

That was a phone? That's amazing.

[sly elk]

https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/others/galaxy-k-zoom-black-8gb-sm-c1150zkabtu/

it actually was 😮

how did that even fit?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noUv27Zkgqw

even weirder it has a removable battery

i know peopole didn't love them, but those removable battery covers samsung made were awesome

[odd sand]

Now the question: To pre-order or not to pre-order the 13900K from Newegg

[sly elk]

you must! preorder before there's benchmarks!!one!

[odd sand]

I know, I know... I just want to have the old hardware for xmas gift and I'm afraid scalpers will make it hard to get. It's probably fine though since it is 2 months to find one

[umbral moss]

I mean, you have plenty of time to buy $4000 in PC hardware

[sly elk]

aw

in that case I guess i understand

i forgot scalpers ruion everything

[umbral moss]

I think the scalpers have moved on to other stuff

haven't seen people bitching about stuff being out of stock in a while

[sly elk]

oh

evga isn't making an AM5 amd board

lmao gg.

[umbral moss]

why would they?

they can barely make intel boards lmao

[sly elk]

uhhh

ya know they could still be planning to make something amd instead XD

[umbral moss]

nah, they've made it clear they intend to ride the company into the ground

why would AMD want to partner with them after they publicly shit on their previous GPU partner

[sly elk]

i think there's a small (definitely not 100%, maybe not even 50%) of evga customers who would consider an amd evga card over an nvidia not-evga card

oh haha

They already laid off their Taiwan GPU staff last April. They denied they're gonna lay people off after the release of this news.

GG

that is impressive

it looks really stupid

[odd sand]

They have enough cards to support normal warranties, but some of the extended warranties were for like 10 years. No way they have the cards for that, and they won't want those liabilities on the books.

[real edge]

VA is not a detriment anymore for the most part but not being able to do 10bit is a tad yikes

[odd sand]

When have 10bit panels been more available? I know 10bit encodes were a thing for like a decade+ bc it would help gradients even if the panels couldn't support it

But I thought 10bit was usually only in highend creative panels

Well yeah, you want the wider color range/gamut or w/e

This is mine. There is nothing mentioned about 10bit so I assume no. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB273-Xbmiprzx-Monitor/dp/B087GCYTLL

[sly elk]

heh, LG sells 10-bit panels themselves

alienware uses the same panels but their boards usually only support 8-bit

idk if this is still true but for a while, actually being able to use that 10-bit color required a quadro card

https://www.videomaker.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-cards-now-support-10-bit-color-in-adobe/

ah yea they changed it

[odd sand]

There is a 4K version of my panel with 10bit, but mine doesn't appear to. Since I can't seem to enable HDR on it as well

Which is fine. I have an HDR TV and I bought this for the ULMB and refresh rate

[sly elk]

oh lmao

I was wrong

alienware does support 10-bit color on my monitor, it's just 8bit + FRC

the aw 38" only does 120hz at 10-bit color

[odd sand]

https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-34-Inch-Ultra-Wide-FreeSync-LC34G55TWWNXZA/dp/B08MVBYWGQ/

This looks like it might be good for a work monitor

Can have 2-3 windows in a line comfortably without being ridiculously wide (and expensive) like the 49" ones

[sly elk]

ha that's a good point

aren't you one of those 'i code on my vertical monitor' people anyway?

[odd sand]

I could get a renewed Odyssey G9 for $1000 heh

[sly elk]

heheh

I like the way they did their mic 😄

ho fuck

that's a $1000 mic

MEAN

also, that anime started off cute in the first episode or two

and then got REALLY WEIRD

I noped out

https://tenor.com/view/akebi-chan-sailor-uniform-anime-gif-25105549

akebi's sailor uniform

I really like the animation style

didn't they just say that thing would cost 699 or something

oh yea cad price

right

typic x900 price

and it can run on a z690 board?

you know what's dumb?

the only reason I'd feel compelled to upgrade atm is keeping up with the joneses lol

coming up on my cpu's 4th anniversary since i bought it

[odd sand]

They're asking 659 USD. Maybe bc the first batch they're getting express air?

[sly elk]

heh good point

[odd sand]

Will there be a KBB for W10 to support the scheduler for the 13th gen CPUs?

Or I suppose that would have been introduced in 12th gen already

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/brooklyn-nine-peralta-99-adam-gif-22554920

wouldn't buy that shit personally since it looks super unusable with that split format and only 76 goddamn keys

but it's still cool

During the game, we often pressed the wrong button, which greatly affected our mood. In fact, our game played very well. , but the keyboard limits our play

That entire room offends my eyes
Tacky woodgrain holder for moonlander-esque KB, silly vertical mouse, "live laugh love"-tier gaming motto sign, fursona on the desk, likes jeeps

[umbral moss]

everything about it is horrible

they literally made the keyboard because they suck at video games

textbook "I'm not bad, the equipment is bad"

[sly walrus]

what, you've never wanted to play JUS❌ ⭕ NE M🔲 RE G🔺 ME

[umbral moss]

the only cool thing is the self-contained key switch module that you could stick on pretty much anything

[graceful pine]

That keyboard lol

I’ll stick with my basic mechanical Logitech

Always gonna go for mechanical though

I like the click and the response force

[void plover]

Games as an adult also feel like a job

[umbral moss]

I mean, that's because games are a job now

must log in every day for two hours to maintain battlepass progression

[jaunty light]

Why does the box design look more like its supposed to be an HDD

[odd sand]

AAA games are a job. There are still plenty that don't have that shit, but yeah it's easy to fixate on the high profile ones that push that

[jaunty light]

https://youtu.be/W1ZKcZbi1rg

[sly elk]

Was that really true?

I played a lot of games on my shit boxes

They just weren’t AAA titles or if they were they were in spectacularly low settings

[sly elk]

Wtf

[sly elk]

That’s a g wagon

[odd sand]

Anyone know the best way to bypass Android's FRP?

I found a busted as shit samsung prepaid phone on the road like 4 years ago and I wanted to use it for app testing and such, but it wants a recovery email from when it was last used (FRP)

Screen was all spidered and the battery and back case were knocked off and it was in pieces on the road. When I tested it, it was already reset so they probably cracked the screen and decided to yeet it while driving

[paper tusk]

plug in a usb debug connection

    adb shell content insert –uri content://settings/secure –bind name:s:user_setup_complete –bind value:s:1

[modest moss]

lolll kids have got a cold so gave them a fisherman's friend each

wusses can't take it

haven't heard of that

[modest moss]

try it wuss

[hard drift]

It’s not that bad

[modest moss]

for science

[hard drift]

It’s not great but it for sure isn’t terrible lol

[sly elk]

yea I remember people doing that at one of my birthday parties

[finite frost]

anybody know where i can grab a scalper bot, just to grab only what i need?

[odd sand]

AFAIK they're generally paid services

[modest moss]

not here

[sly elk]

generally on the expensive side

[odd sand]

The way I've done it in the past for sites like Walmart and Best Buy is: Have your account setup and payment and shipping info all saved etc.

[sly elk]

but I imagine now that demand slowed down a lot, the prices went down a lot

[modest moss]

yeah just do what Shinon said

[sly elk]

what are you trying to buy?

[odd sand]

Then you put a dummy product into the page and get to the payment screen and have that as a separate tab from the main site one

Then you click add to cart and go to the payment tab and immediately press pay

[modest moss]

the only discussion of scalping here is how much they suck and should fuck off

[odd sand]

Don't refresh the page

It should then advance to the finalize order screen with the new cart item

[finite frost]

i just only need esports tickets...

[sharp star]

you're not gonna find help with scalper bots

[odd sand]

That's usually enough of a jumpstart to beat enough ppl to get an order. I got two PS5s that way back in 2020

[sharp star]

lmao they said a gamer word

[odd sand]

esports tickets ... like going to see an event in person? No idea about that

[sharp star]

anyway scalp dn

[odd sand]

You would have to experiment with the specific site doing it, but the multi tab approach should work still

[modest moss]

wish mentors could see what words get people muted

[sly elk]

IDK if getting PS5s was ever that hard

it wasn't quite as hard as getting GPUs was

like yea, there were people trying to use sneakerbots and stuff to buy them

but it was nowhere near as bad as the crazy shit with GPU scalping

[odd sand]

I mean, Between the two I got was like 2-3 other times where I failed and they were gone in like 60 secs or less

For GPUs I bypassed that shitshow entirely by pre-ordering thru a local PC shop. Waited about 3 weeks and got it

[modest moss]

in canada does fanny have the US or UK meaning?

[sly walrus]

[sly elk]

'esports stations'

i wonder if the chairs are too narrow for fat people

[jaunty light]

aint no fuckin esports station with 1 inch of mouse space

[sly elk]

HAH

honestly I'd consider the amount of mouse space acceptable

[jaunty light]

flicks mouse so hard I hit the fellow gamer to my right in the face oops sorry my man

[sly elk]

but it's kinda because my oldschool fps days

i like really high mouse sensitivity hahaha

[jaunty light]

gotta have it LONG

i don't even have low sens anymore by valo or CS standards, i do a 360 left to right

[sly elk]

i'd probably do multiple, but not a meme spin

[jaunty light]

used to do not even a 180 on a pad this size for CS

[sly elk]

I tried to lower my sens by a lot but I haven't had luck lol

[jaunty light]

with low I use my arm so I'm not constantly moving my wrist so it works out better with rsi

I also bought one of those gamer compression sleeves like you'd use for tennis and it's actually amazing

the wrist side is all PTFE so it glides like magic

[sly elk]

neat

hmmm?

no

no if i'm gonna light money on fire

i'll buy myself a z790 classified

where's the SR3

didn't they only make the sr2 ONCE FOR X58

1600w silverstone, paired with triple GTX 480s, or triple 5970s, puke green water lines

[sly elk]

I mean what i'd really want

is chrome pipes

[jaunty light]

chrome looks hot

good in PCs awful on cars

[sly elk]

watcha mean?

I think chrome looks great on cars when the car design can take it

[jaunty light]

i plastidipped my f150 chrome because chrome on cars = garbage

[sly elk]

honestly one of my most disliked car things

is matte black

ugh

[jaunty light]

love matte black.. cough

[sly elk]

especially when they cover the tail lights

yea dw

I have the taste of a 70 year old

[jaunty light]

there was a matte black vette behind me today

he had to go 2mph over speedbumps

nice looking car though

[sly elk]

i think corvettes should have beefy tires with chrome wheels

[jaunty light]

also saw a satin purple mustang

[sly elk]

or at least polished metal

[jaunty light]

actually idk if it was a corvette

i think it was maybe an older one

[sly elk]

idk

[jaunty light]

like not old but you know

[sly elk]

speed bumps can be a pain

[jaunty light]

pretttyy sure it was a c7

cause I thought it was a GTR at first

buy a new van

good paint on a whole body will cost you like 10 grand

[sly elk]

it really does, too

[jaunty light]

what i dont understand is news articles where you search 'car paint cost' then they're like, $3500

no fucking way lmao

[sly elk]

you can get it wrapped for less

[jaunty light]

you might get bedliner for $3500

[sly elk]

I think wraps require less skill

that's not to say people who install them and do a good job aren't very skilled and talented

they are, but a paint job has way more places to fuck up

[jaunty light]

"the prep will likely also involve sanding off the older paint, fixing exterior damage, and even removing glass" bruh that's the minimum for an actual respray wtf

[sly elk]

heheh

that's the schwab paint job

[jaunty light]

no shit if they run a sander over your old paint for 10 seconds then spray over it it'll be cheap

[sly elk]

the one where they paint it with the doors closed

and then you open the door and see the old color

[jaunty light]

yea

wraps are still kinda expensive and difficult to apply though

I guess it depends on if it's just a solid color or not

[sly elk]

yea that's the actual $4000 job

[jaunty light]

paining requires more prep and skill though

[sly elk]

and they don't last like paint jobs do

a good paint job is forever

[jaunty light]

but wraps cost a lot.. few grand usually

[sly elk]

theoretically you can do some of the prep yourself?

[jaunty light]

and yeah you need to replace them after 3 to 5 years

[sly elk]

but not much of it if you want a really good job

like removing trim or whatever i guess idk

[jaunty light]

if I ever buy a sports car I'm gonna get a wrap but it's hard to justify $5k on an anime girl wrap that will last only a few years lol

[sly elk]

but the actual sanding and surface prep needs to be done really well >>

RIGHT?!

I love seeing them at anime cons and stuff

but I'd never do it

[jaunty light]

I followed a few itasha pages and pretty much like clockwork they'd replace it

3 years, bam 5k again

one of them was an 86, like ok nah not on a $20k car

if I can afford a $100k+ car then whatever

[sly elk]

theoretically it should be cheaper on a small car right?

[jaunty light]

yeah

[sly elk]

one with simple lines?

something like a g35

[jaunty light]

half of the cost you might run into is getting a good artist

I feel like the install isn't the expensive part

[jaunty light]

artist+printing a decent looking wrap

[sly elk]

not saying i like the car but this seems a pretty ideal car for a wrpa

there's no funky creases and no trim

and it's small

[jaunty light]

just a couple more years until my dreams can become reality

[sly elk]

hehe

a good artist, yea...

[jaunty light]

the gtr is kinda all body

so it's pretty good

[sly elk]

that is one of those "I could probably do it myself" kinda things but my goodness i'd probably be able to spot all the flaws and hate it

and it's probably better to have an artist that does wraps a lot anyway

also probably better to do it on a car that's been wrapped lots of times

[jaunty light]

I can't even put a sticker on my hardcases properly, they always have airbubbles

[sly elk]

oh I meant the art part

which is not to take the artists work for granted

i'm sure they'd still do it better!

i'm not sure which category that falls into

[jaunty light]

if I could score a GT-R for $60k I'd probably buy one

[sly elk]

i feel like it's setting yourself up for pedo van jokes

[jaunty light]

which is why I feel like when 2025 rolls around, if I can get a 2017+ or newer it's pretty golden

[sly elk]

but outside of that, it'd be the coolest van ever

ignoring everything i said about liking chrome earlier

it'd be fun to wrap that chrome grille in like, bright green or something

[jaunty light]

whats dumb right now

https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/JN1AR5BF0MM160079

[sly elk]

or bright red

[jaunty light]

this costs more than a new GTR and its used

???

[sly elk]

lol 😄

japanese cars

it's probably because buying a new GTR is hard and expensive and has a long wait list or something

idk, like buying a new corvette?

I can't imagine the GT-R has a long wait list though

[jaunty light]

well, the R34 is dead now

[sly elk]

unless they make very few

[jaunty light]

they don't make many each year iirc

at least they still number the engine + who bult it

[sly elk]

but this probably falls under

"who spends 130k on a nissan?"

also why don't the front seats match

[jaunty light]

got that sweet gtr name

[jaunty light]

superior driver's seat

idk when they're gonna reveal the actual production R35 though

[sly elk]

i like the GT-R

[jaunty light]

might've been more ideal to buy one before because the 2012-2015 ish years were dipping as low as 60-70 sometimes

now it looks like they are going for 80+

[sly elk]

it has a really cool looking window line for a japanese car

I love that window line

[jaunty light]

oh well if I move to japan I can just buy all the r32s and r33s I want

[sly elk]

the way the door cutout is shaped is a little unfortunate lol

if the back was more square and the front lined up with that vent better i think it'd look better

also

if the fender was just a tiny bit longer maybe

but that's; just getting silly

like the distance between the end of the door and the beginning of the front wheel well?

2022 car versus 2010? no difference!

[sly elk]

lolwut

[jaunty light]

any other car, the 2022 model has this huge ass screen

[sly elk]

the screen is the same as any other nissan though

[jaunty light]

see no difference

(nissan did wise up that rectangle vents are better than the circular shits in the middle)

it's deadass the same

it's not like my truck vs a 2022 one that has a 12 inch touchscreen

[sly elk]

yea the updated one looks a lot better

[jaunty light]

one of my more favorite interiors recently is the g80

its so dumb its good

[sly elk]

-shakes head-

[jaunty light]

it even comes in some nasty colors

[sly elk]

i appreciate that

i kinda like how ford put the screen in the bronco. it looked like after designing it someone was like "we should put a bigger screen in" so they just made the hole as big as they could

it's ugly

to date ford also has the worst big screen implementation i've ever seen

[jaunty light]

boss, i have a great idea

[jaunty light]

we take an ipad and superglue it to the dash

haha.. hahaha HAHAHAHHAHA

$700 what the fuck lmao

[languid sequoia]

Bruh my x570 crosshair 8 extreme board was 800 bucks, how is a hero tier board almost that much???

The x670 extreme being 1000 bucks is a meme and I hate this timeline

AniMe Matrix™ is a micro-LED array that adds stunning designs to the I/O shroud.

clearly, this is what makes it cost $1k

not even a fancy dual socket, or one with a monoblock, etc

[sly elk]

• 15% off $350+ order w/ code ZIPFEST22 w/ ZIP check out, limited offer

I agree, those boards are ludicrously overpriced

it's like they're trying to squeeze profits one last place

hero and crosshair should be going for like $300 not $800

[void dove]

halo products

expensive product which ships relatively few units, draws attention to the brand from enthusiasts, then they sell more of the actually reasonably priced stuff

also makes cheaper stuff in their product lineup look better and more attractive

[sly elk]

but those aren't halo products

hero and crosshair are mid-range boards

or maybe high end, but definitely not halo

like on the intel side, I think maximus si the highest line of boards

but hero isn't the highest maximus

gene was the highest end matx, extreme or apex or whatever the highest end e-atx

the hero has some of the things like the higher end audio chipset, but they don't have stuff like OC panels (nobody does anymore) or monoblocks or whatever lol

@tame fulcrum rocking that sweet 70fps

Kwik rip

Nex gas went from like 4.70 to 6 in 2 days

[deep sapphire]

Not surprised I’ve yet to figure out what the fuck the rewards card is for

I’ve had mine for 3 years and I’ve gotten like 5 free coffees

[odd sand]

The rewards card is to let them track your purchase data

[deep sapphire]

I like kwik trip they have really nice stores and good food but if I’m getting gas I’ll go to holiday lol

[odd sand]

For a more real answer: its not only data collection, but if you use the app you do get some discounts and deals https://www.kwikrewards.com/offers/7082205922657995

[deep sapphire]

Lmao they had 29 cents a lbs bananas not that long ago, that was a damn good deal

[odd sand]

Yeah Kwik Trip gas is okay but its certainly generic tier. I wouldn't fill up there with my Saturn bc it would trip my oxygen censors

[deep sapphire]

It’s pretty good here, they have the top tier grade gasoline and the 91 octane is non ethanol by my house but yeah it’s all hit and miss

I like holiday cause they have a deal you pay 7 bucks a month and get a free drink a day so I can grab a coffee on my way to work and cub foods has a deal you spend 100 dollars on groceries you get 10 cents off a gallon at holiday no limit on how much (well it might be like 40 gallons but not like anyone is gonna need that much in a single fill up)

I dunno if you have holiday by you

They have them in western Wisconsin

They use Marathon gasoline too so it’s decent quality

[sly elk]

man there was a ma-and-pop gas station by my house in davis that gave free coffee when you got gas lol

[rough tundra]

Blaine is expensive tho, if you go to the reservation it’s about $4.70 something idk

Some of the stations in birch Bay are even worse

[sly elk]

granted, it was generic coffee in one of those industrial coffee pot server thingies and a stack of foam cups on a table next to the shed where the cashier sat

[odd sand]

They call it "top tier" but that just means generic gasoline meant for passenger cars

It's a Grading kinda like "Grade A meat"

The only gas stations that didn't trip the oxygen sensor on my Saturn were like Shell/Mobil/BP

[deep sapphire]

Eh, they’ve shown top tier gasoline does have a minor improvement over non top tier

[odd sand]

Any of the more discounted gas did

[deep sapphire]

Being they basically all costs the same in the era

Doesn’t harm anything

[odd sand]

Sure, but like it's still a big step down from like Mobil. And I don't know where even sells non toptier ... would that be like Arco or something?

[deep sapphire]

Shell has its own proprietary additive package I don’t believe they use top tier grade but I haven’t been to shell in awhile

[odd sand]

That said, it's entirely possible newer cars just are more tolerant anyways bc a lot are designed for ethanol gas etc.

All the major brands do

Like, I'll fill up at Kwik Trip sometimes with my car bc the 91 octane is ethanol free so

Speaking of Kwik Trip, I need to use their air machine and overfill my left front to like 38 and drive it around the block to reset my TPMS sensor

Car refuses to turn off the low tire pressure warning despite driving like 50mi after refilling it

[jaunty light]

@deep sapphire I am a fan of juxtaposing textures and I concede that the Filet-O-Fish does not have a contrasting crunch to balance the impossibly soft steamed bun and generous helping of tartar sauce. But you know what? It works. God knows why but it works, it really does. I sometimes alternate bites with their world famous fries, refreshing every so often with an ice cold Diet Coke that cleanses my palate and readies me for the next delightful bite.

[sly elk]

Hehe

I use arco and Mobil a lot

Both are by my house and very convenient

But Mobil is the easiest since I drive by it a lot

It doesn’t make fuck all difference

chieftec dragon meets 486 AT case with hard power switch? XD

[odd sand]

Ugh, one of my first jobs was building PCs and we had an order come in from Underwriters Labs that required AT or XT cases with hard power switch. Took fucking forever to build those compared to our standard ones

I think my last PC with a floppy drive was my 2008/9 Q9550 build, then the 2012 3770K still had DVDrom but my current one there isn't even drive bays for it.

Just bought a cheap $50 Fractal Design case for the hand me down PC and it has an unremovable 5.25 set of bays that is almost quaint at this point heh

the case is hella flimsy but hey, $50

I'm not sure what's normal for a $50 case these days lol

[odd sand]

Exactly. The kid is 9 so

[sly elk]

the flimsy kinda works though

my brother was moving his cabinet that i put it on top of

it fell on the floor lol

[odd sand]

The case fans were almost as much as the case at like $35 lol

[sly elk]

I had to mess around with the side door a little to get it to go back on

but it's fine

and he likes watching dvds so the optical bay was a must

the kinda sad thing is the case it replaced is a nicer inwin but that case is mostly glass

With Amazon Business, you would have saved $71.22 in the last year.

I had an amazon business account for a while, probably still do. the prices weren't work

[odd sand]

Probably a good thing to be a case with a clear plastic panel instead of glass. Likely to get kicked or something

86 GR that’s it

Sorry had scion on the mind lol

[umbral moss]

keep in mind that the 86 is designed and made by subaru

toyota didn't design that car

the corolla GR is the first car toyoda himself made the engineers sit down and pen out

[deep sapphire]

It’s a co partnership between them but you are correct in that Subaru fully built the engine

[umbral moss]

morizo wanted a sporty car but toyota's engineering team didn't know how to make them

so they asked subaru to design it for them

after the 86 landed he was like "ok nerds, make me a car I can rally in"

it's super weird to think of toyota as a sports car company now, but toyoda is a madman and loves to race professionally

[hard drift]

I mean atleast nvidia is stable, intel is riddled with problems and is ass for dx11 and older engines

[umbral moss]

yeah, but is that worth $350

[paper tusk]

might be although at the caveat of needing to use a different directX interpreter than the one in intel's shittastic driver

[hard drift]

Using dx11 instead of 12 you just eat shit for performance atm 😭

[umbral moss]

intel probably wrote the driver to force low level DX12 mode to squeeze every puff of performance out of the GPU

and I bet they're taking advantage of DX12's draw call optimization junk, which is why their DX11 performance is garbo

the scheduler is probably terrible

[hard drift]

Nah, it should continue otherwise you’re left unable to play some older games

[umbral moss]

it's probably more efficient to write a wrapper that translates DX9 to DX12

🤔

that's a pretty hot take

let me dig up my old AGP 2.0 GPU to play DX8 games

Please read all the documentation and guides for these launchers before requesting assistance.

WINE should support xiv but not sure what the getup is

[sly walrus]

there's hoops

people have jumped through em i'm sure

[paper tusk]

yeah (I mentioned wine since there's other linux windows api emulators under different names and capabilities)

i know the mac port uses something else which regularly breaks since it's not updated (for macos/hardware) as often as wine

(off topic) nvidia please

they release 517.48 3 days ago and today there's a new developer driver (517.57)

hi guys i was able to fix it by downloading the latest version of DXVK and replacing my steam files with it

[sly elk]

i saw a post on reddit about xfx

and their QICK GPUs

it really looks like something else

[odd sand]

At a glance it looks like it says DICK

[sly elk]

yea which makes it funnier

i mean they also have the THICC cards

[sly walrus]

i wonder if they have the SICK line

which is what you'll be with all the fumes these bad boys put out

[odd sand]

XFX used to make nvidia cards but I guess they lost patience a lot faster than EVGA

[deep sapphire]

I think the last cards they made were the 200 series

And then started producing HD 4000 and 5000 cards

[odd sand]

They kinda fell on their face in general, I feel like. Bc they used to sell a lot of PSUs as well and I dont think they even do that anymore

mechanical keyboard buds, I ASSUME self-buiilding your own keyboard is more expensive than a prebuilt?
