I feel like I’m gonna make my case live up to its name by filling it with M.2 and SATA drives

[analog aspen]

why some reviews saying gigabyte aorus rx 6800 master is overheating compared to sapphire rx 6800?

it confuses me because there are benchmarks that gigabyte is a little better compared to sapphire.

[real edge]

overheating?

what do they classify as overheating

[analog aspen]

the temp while gaming is going over 80C

[sharp star]

that's not overheating

going over 95c is worrying

going over 100c is overheating

today I learned that my sister is boring because I swapped out her Fractal case with the Hyte Y60 I have on hand

...all because it has a VTuber on it

Did that mainly because that was the only case I could find that did not go over her desk's edges

Nice.

[dull garnet]

that's not true at all. plus furmark barely stresses modern video cards

[cerulean talon]

I mean, you crank it up enough it will

But default settings are pretty reasonable

[dull garnet]

enough to make your card slightly warm

[cerulean talon]

I mean, it's not like modern cards know what power efficiency is

[umbral moss]

they do, if you're willing to throw out 10-20% of your performance

the quest for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE means that the engineers had to remove some well-accepted physical limitations of silicon

with an undervolt and core clock cap you can get something like 85% of the 4090's performance for half the power pull

[potent arrow]

Lol welp, never thought I'll see it but LTT is getting canceled by antiwork people

What a world

[deep sapphire]

For what

[potent arrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/115ucm3/ltt_isnt_a_great_employer_has_a_lot_of_antilabour

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/115cpv2/discussing_wages_is_a_workers_right_do_better_lmg

[cerulean talon]

Or I can get an extra 5% if I'm willing to waste a few hundred watts, the answer is clear

[sharp star]

I saw GN blasting them half a year ago for a $250 backpack with no warranty, of course it came to this

[umbral moss]

I mean, that's kind of the issue

we've largely reached the limit of what silicon can do

only so many times per second you can do a gate-drain charge cycle before the electron collision losses become untenable

[cerulean talon]

Nah, we just need more absurd answers, like the fluid channel cooled chips and hard bonded hbm

Oh yeah, the actual physics sude

Err, side, yeah, we are getting there

[umbral moss]

yeah, that's the thing

like if you look at how the power scales on the new intel and AMD chips, nobody is surprised except maybe the marketing goons

at 5 GHz they pull a perfectly reasonable ~125W

[cerulean talon]

Yup

[umbral moss]

at 6 GHz it's almost 300W

surprise, silicon still doesn't like switching at that frequency, the losses are bonkers

intel learned that back in the fucking pentium 4 era

[cerulean talon]

Do we even have a next path yet? Chip physical design is out of my usual wheelhouse

[umbral moss]

I don't think so

part of the issue on the CPU side is that x86 is limiting what you can do to ameliorate your physical limitations

[cerulean talon]

Yeh

That I'm aware of :p

Tbh, I'd like to see what we could do with more hbm to use clocks efficiently, but we threw out per-cycle efficiency years ago

[umbral moss]

there's also a massive dearth of material scientists working on new transistor topologies

[cerulean talon]

Or just get sram cell size down more, as more and more insanity seems to be aimed at memory access speed, unsurprisingly

[umbral moss]

at some threshold of small electron domains it's not reasonable to consider bulk effects like electron transport across an oxide gate

since you're talking about "transistors" that are functionally 2 silicon atoms across

at that point you're looking for magnetic moments induced by electron mobility since you can measure that far more reliably

[cerulean talon]

Huh, neat, never considered that effect

[umbral moss]

how do you consider an electron "moved" when it's being passed around in a covalent or metallic bond to maintain the material's lattice structure

trying to measure a single electron in the conduction bandgap and being like "yep, we found it!" is like trying to measure a grain of sand in the wind

[cerulean talon]

Makes sense, just never a problem I considered much.

[umbral moss]

ye

I suspect this is a big part of intel's novel transistor design strategy

they can't just stick to their traditional transistor design and keep shrinking them, you just run out of the ability to corral them into a measurable environment

https://www.overclock.net/threads/asus-strix-4090-oc-repaste-and-all-stock-asus-thermal-pads-swapped-for-tglobal-tg-pp10-putty-a-worthwhile-effort.1804314/

this is the type of thing I go to OCN for

and the "oh shit what's this in my loop" horror stories from idiots putting their dirty-ass swamp tap water in their loop

1 pound of the 8 W/m-k putty costs $274 though

[paper tusk]

[inland mauve]

ever since Linus blew a lid about not wanting to give written warranties because "either you trust me or you don't" I'm kinda over LTT

because that's not really how a company works

[cerulean talon]

That putty sounds amazing tho

[paper tusk]

yeah. even contracting conthing out to a good odm (the overpriced ratcheting screwdriver) no warranty might as well mean "if it's defective, congrats you are the proud owner of waste after 30 days are up"

[cerulean talon]

Wonder if they sell it in reasonable quantities

[inland mauve]

it reeks of manipulation

"you want a way to actually hold me accountable for my promises? clearly you just don't trust me"

[umbral moss]

the less you buy the worse the value though

30ccs is $81

1lb is $274

[cerulean talon]

Oh yeah, just get a lb at that point

I'll find a use eventually

[jaunty light]

big ego = bad company

[inland mauve]

so hearing about the labour issues within LTT doesn't surprise me, because that kind of attitude is going to result in that kind of company

[paper tusk]

^

[umbral moss]

is that an elon musk quote?

[jaunty light]

the irony of them "testing" stuff then having big ego to claim they are trustworthy and don't need warranty, as if their sourcing, manufacturing, and QC is perfect

[inland mauve]

no, but Elon Musk has that same kind of vibe, just way worse because he's much richer

[umbral moss]

imagine thinking you don't need QC/QA because your brain is so big and wrinkly

[cerulean talon]

The consumer will qa my products, it's fine - every programmer ever

[umbral moss]

elon musk is the way he is because of his legion of fucking dickriding nerds who tell him he's the smartest, most handsome person on the planet and boy they love the taste of his dic~~harblgarbl

[jaunty light]

even if your QC is perfect, it can't account for intangible problems that don't show up in whatever limited testing capacity you have

[inland mauve]

it's narcissism, you're so high on your own copium that you have gaslighted yourself

[jaunty light]

what was their original problem anyways was it the bags

i remember a meltdown about something relating to that

[sharp star]

I think Luke's just looking at all this right now and hanging his head in shame

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdxVtAiYeL0&t=326s

[jaunty light]

[cerulean talon]

That sounds like how id try to get out from a warranty claim

"trust me, I do the right thing"

[jaunty light]

given I'm just a murican but it absolutely does matter and it's not a formality

there's "sold as is, no warranty" and "not fulfilling stated warranty" which are very different

[cerulean talon]

Not like ever trusted him to do the right thing, so never effected me, that's hilarious to see thi

[jaunty light]

although I guess I can't expect a youtuber to research things when they run a company or sell products?

[umbral moss]

just pay me, I'm trustworthy

[jaunty light]

True, you either trust me or you don't when I hire you for my company. It doesn't actually make a difference if I have a formal pay and benefits policy.

[cerulean talon]

Formal benefits. Hahaha

I've worked for too many startups and had to half force those down people's throats

[jaunty light]

anything promised is not real!

why i hate the new trend of "unlimited PTO" policy

[cerulean talon]

I always love equity programs, because they're super not real

[jaunty light]

that just means there's no bank of PTO, meaning no payout, and you can also just deny it any time it's convenient anyways, so it might as well not be pto

[jaunty light]

yeah deferred profit sharing plans are a fucking scam lmao

[cerulean talon]

I always love it when founders get mad at my valuation of their company

[umbral moss]

what do you mean, the company is worth 1x its earnings?

[cerulean talon]

Like, you're hiring me on, giving me a number, and now imma make you justify it

"we've got a 1m valuation!"

Those are the best calls

[umbral moss]

1 million rupees maybe

https://tenor.com/view/zelda-oot-zelda-oot-ocarina-of-time-dancing-gif-21026121

[cerulean talon]

Eh, I've worked a few places in startup land over that, but making them justify it, it's fun to see them squirm

Particularly when my pay would be a significant part of that valuation, and they're throwing stock at me to comp it

[umbral moss]

I'm a big fan of my company handing out stock options in lieu of bonuses

this isn't a publicly traded company

stock options are worth exactly as much as a fine arts degree

maybe less, I can't even wipe my ass with stock options in a privately held company

[inland mauve]

in my four and a half years of working in IT, the most important rule I've learned is that nobody has enough time and if you need something from other people you have to talk to them and come to an agreement about what expectations everyone has

the better you know what you want, the better they know how much time it will cost them and the easier it is for them to schedule it

[cerulean talon]

Dont worry, with 15ish years of exp, I can. Tell you that never changes

[inland mauve]

yeah that's just how it works in a company where everyone is busy

and if someone cannot give priority to something you feel is important, you escalate it to their manager

that is also a perfectly normal thing to do

I am actually glad when my manager tells me "hey Rad Shiba, you need to give priority to this task"

because it creates clarity

[umbral moss]

just wait until you find out that the customer, manager, and CEO all have different priorities and you're expected to do all of them

https://tenor.com/view/dave-chappelle-snl-hate-to-gif-19605814

[inland mauve]

you mean every business ever?

that's when things just don't run smoothly

and either you try to improve them or you start losing people who get frustrated

every corporation has to deal with issues like that, just not all in the same quantities

but some friction like that is inevitable in an organization of many different kinds of people

[umbral moss]

boy, I'd love to work for a company that ran smoothly

instead of every project being the result of a lurching oh jesus fuck we're so fucked how did we not catch this six months ago crisis

[inland mauve]

that's when you get budget at least

[umbral moss]

yeah, a budget of "so you're gonna be done with this by the end of thursday, right?"

[inland mauve]

and that's when you lose team members

[potent arrow]

Project result of, oh that thing that we decided wasn't a problem a month ago and we should do more important things first is now back with the full force of a natural disaster

[umbral moss]

the best part is the "more important" thing almost always isn't

[jaunty light]

whoever signs your paycheck gets priority, even if it means they yell at you because you prioritized their thing and customer was mad

[potent arrow]

I.e. not overhauling permission structure in active directory causing our migration to a new service desk program accident sending messages to employees that we are laying them off

Resulting in mass panic as 100+ employees thought they lost their job

[jaunty light]

noo give full enterprise admin to helpdesk they'll love it

nothing could go wrong

[umbral moss]

hey, we should probably focus on making sure this mechanical part is good before we put it into service

fuck that, we're just going to go ahead and do it

oh no why isn't this working

[potent arrow]

Well here's the thing, if we get a upper level request that someone is being played off. We switch their accounts to a perm in active directory that slowly shuts their stuff off and sends them a warning that because they are layed off their stuff will be deleted in a day

[jaunty light]

that sounds like a fail on the service desk part if it let someone do that without high level approval

[potent arrow]

Welcome to my hell

I can press a button and someone is out of a job rofl

[jaunty light]

of course you have to link it to AD anyways so then anyone with creds to that can go willy nilly

[potent arrow]

The newer system treats some permissions in AD as labels

[jaunty light]

ah great

my favorite

OUs? no. labels

[potent arrow]

So if you label a ticket as leaving

They'll get laid off

But the migration to the new version mis matched labels

So WFM label was the lay off label lol

It's incredible

[cerulean talon]

Oh yeah, def

[potent arrow]

or parts I can order

Framework allows me to stock my own spares

[cerulean talon]

The razer wants to be babied, and the framework... Yeah, that

I like things I can repair

[potent arrow]

These are the things I want in a field laptop

A lot of people also discount the thinkpad nub, its so nice for fieldwork

I don't understand the point of this. So it's taking cold air from the A/C vent then exhausting the GPU and from the front of the case and sending it out the window?

But then you have the window open letting the warm air outside into your room which is also going to raise the ambient temp of the case and room. And make your A/C work harder

it acts like it's hitting the processor ceiling but it's not. and ya know what's funny? quitting the messages app seems to have cured that problem. how odd.

supposedly it's a msi mobo issue but not sure why it took until tonight to show up

and I don't think my dp-hdmi cable is bad

I think developer drivers fixed it?

yeah it's not showing up again 😐

[analog aspen]

is this a bad temp for gpu?

[hard drift]

no, it's perfectly fine

when you start hitting around 85+ for global you should start worrying about it more

the hotspot will usually be bad since it's the very center of the die where it's hottest

[jaunty light]

using my scientific method I can say that temperature is too hot! but if you invest today in revolutionary watercooling technology you too can be cool

[hard drift]

watercooling is the way but i don't feel like doing it for this card, i'll upgrade to 5000/8000 series and then get a waterblock going

[jaunty light]

unfortunately the 5800 runs "hot" relative to water, stuck in the 50c purgatory for the rest of its usable life

[hard drift]

you mean 6800

[jaunty light]

gpu runs cooler but it's more fiery and i can get it to just about 70c in some cases

naw my 5800x3d

[hard drift]

oh lol

[jaunty light]

after it gets to eat leftover gpu water

[hard drift]

i mean that's what happens when the 5800x was already a hot fucker lmao

[jaunty light]

i read many anecdotes that made me suspicious if it was even worth putting it under water but it's never exceeded 60c

so idk if the people sayign they still hit 90 under water (custom) were just .. not installing correctly

[analog aspen]

does it mean i have to repaste it?

[hard drift]

not always

but as of right now you do nothing

generally if temps are high you'll just need to dust your pc rather than repaste

when it's later into the lifecycle of the gpu then you repaste it

[analog aspen]

i was testing in furmark and my ups is alarming due to high power usage so i cancel it

i was scared i might burn my ups

[hard drift]

furmark isn't realistic

just play your games and look at it then

[jaunty light]

great news, if you give me $250,000 I can install a 240v APC li-on UPS in your house.

[analog aspen]

i read that under volting amd cards gives better performance and avoid high temps too?

[hard drift]

not necessarily

undervolting could do jack shit for you except lower temps, it's silicone lottery and a lot of time investment for testing if it's stable

i'd recommend you just not bother, your stuff is 100% fine

you have literally nothing that's alarming right now

[analog aspen]

cool thanks

this has 3 months warranty since this is already used.

[hard drift]

if it's used and still doing that well, you're doing good lol

[analog aspen]

bnew cost like 1k usd above and its hard to find

[hard drift]

wtf are you looking at???

[jaunty light]

I mean u can transparently undervolt in most programs these days depending on how AMD classifies "power target" but it's a lot of trial & error and on air IMO won't give a massive benefit in a lot of cases unless you're doing SFF

[analog aspen]

rx 6800

[jaunty light]

wow i worded that nebulously

[hard drift]

yeah but where

the 6900xt is less than 700

[jaunty light]

presuming yaj is outside US?

[analog aspen]

yes but once i ship that in my country they will add like 200 bux for custom etc.

[hard drift]

200 bucks for customs still makes it cheaper than 1k

plus it's the xt

[jaunty light]

% can be insanely high so i wouldnt even blink if it added up to more

I underdeclared my 5900x to a canuck friend and im sure he still paid 100 bucks in customs for it

god forbid I shipped to someone in the UK where I hear they have like 30%

[analog aspen]

maybe one this gpu didn't last till try in amazon or new egg.

but the hassle is the one i try to avoid

If customs saw your item is high end they will tax it more

[modest moss]

you still owe me that $1 3090

[sly elk]

lol here's what ya do

have a friend convert it to a custom loop cooler card

then send it as a used gift >>

[jaunty light]

did I promise that

best I can do now is a 1080 ti

[sly elk]

or maybe even, send it without the dang heatsink entirely as a 'part'

idk

[modest moss]

it wasn't a promise

[jaunty light]

best I can do is commit fraud and ship you $500k in HPE

[modest moss]

I think that's a terrible idea

especially knowing who you work for

[sly elk]

is it really committing fraud if you take a gpu apart? you're deliberately reducing the resale value at that point.

[modest moss]

I think you missed the "$500k in HPE" part

[sly elk]

lol ford used to do something similar to avoid paying the chicken tax

[modest moss]

but it probably is fraud also if you disassemble a working item and ship it as lower value parts

[jaunty light]

Shipment 1 of 5000

This is an HPE DL580, parted out. First, here is the plastic front panel piece. Second, here is the chassis cover.. third...

[sly elk]

LOL

[jaunty light]

some resoldering of the ICs will be needed

[sly elk]

no that's the dumb part. you ship the gpu board to one person, and the gpu heatsink thingy to another person

[modest moss]

I would refuse delivery

I don't want the CIA visiting me

[jaunty light]

don't worry, it won't be the CIA

[modest moss]

it would be someone like that

[jaunty light]

it would be something worse than the CIA

[modest moss]

and they wouldn't be very friendly

[jaunty light]

[jaunty light]

most likely nothing would happen you'd just be a suspected co conspirator and probably killed immediately

[modest moss]

I wonder if I could get life insurance to cover that

[jaunty light]

in seriousness it's not really that serious

I would go to fed prison forever if I got caught but that's about it

[modest moss]

would they let me keep the servers though

[jaunty light]

definitely not

[modest moss]

probably not worth the effort then

[jaunty light]

recycling still isn't a permitted process other than within the program, kind of stupid

[sly elk]

I wonder

[jaunty light]

it's still considered classified forever at whatever highest level it touched which is, out of touch you might say

[sly elk]

what percentage of raspberry pis are never used for their intended purpose

if at all

[modest moss]

I suppose once they rule out any part that could have any kind of data in it, it becomes just not worth the effort and destroying it makes most sense when it's deemed no longer useful

[jaunty light]

mine isn't used for teaching people how to do basic computing, it just blocks ads ||on the copious amounts of hentai sites i frequent||

yes, it just goes into the great shredder

doesn't matter what it is or how much it costs once you shove it into that status

[modest moss]

yeah nobody wants to be the guy that accidentally released state secrets because he figured it'd be safe to recycle some old kit by donating it to a charity or whatever

[sly elk]

eh by the time they recycle it, nobody would want it anyway

[modest moss]

that sort of thing probably doesn't go down well at your next review

[jaunty light]

not that any of it even matters because at the highest levels they constantly ignore classification and arbitrarily make up their own declass rules

[sly elk]

who wants this 10 year old optiflex that was shitty when it was made?

[jaunty light]

hey at least we keep up to par with 3 year cycles

[sly elk]

geez, that said

I have to admit I'm impressed how long a dell poweredge can last

when it isn't a lemon*

[modest moss]

eh a 10 year old optiplex is probably still useful for some stuff

[sly elk]

I know of a few machines that we set up in 2014 that are still being used lmao

and a few older ones that are still running

[jaunty light]

10 years isn't much for a server if you spec it out correctly at the time

[sly elk]

yea admittedly

they're still fine for VM servers

[jaunty light]

my 560 gen9s are pretty weak but that's only because by comparison a quad socket xeon gold with 1tb+ of ram is just unbeatable

what is this a classic job on a new truck

[sly elk]

similar idea

[jaunty light]

im ngl the lines just dont work in its favor at all

[sly elk]

if you look at an original they don't quite line up there, either

and i think the blue/white's skinnier stripe is more flattering, even if it doesn't really line up with the body lines at all hahaha

GPU in wall-oulet for your house gaining better resolution

[analog aspen]

does this mean my gpu has been overclock?

its different than my default clock so im guessing it was overclock?

[odd sand]

Most AIB cards have some amount of a factory overclock applied to them

[analog aspen]

xd

[odd sand]

Huh... never seen that before. Just a straight up USB-C to RJ45 cable heh https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Console-Compatible-Rollover/dp/B078PT5N24

[sharp star]

garden hose to HDMI exists

so anything's possible

[void dove]

its a basic USB serial adapter really, but instead goes to a RJ45 for Cisco console ports, and would work for a bunch of other network switch vendors as well who use a similar standard.

kinda a bit redundant if you're buying modern equipment, as even cisco switches use native USB now for console access

lol, i have 3 Cisco switches at my feet which use USB mini connectors for console access, and those have been decommissioned.

2 of them have console RJ45 as well

that cable is basically, these 2 combined, but with a usb-c interface instead of USB 2.0

i used to travel around with these in my bag 🙂

[sly elk]

I like using serial on a mac >> can just do screen /dev/ttyS0 115200 or whatever

[odd sand]

That explains why they were offering a USB-C to USB mini cable then

I feel like USB-C is kinda the most "the future is now" thing up until all the recent AI shit

You can find damn near anything as USB-C it feels like

[void dove]

yeap, there is always a need for adapters for old interfaces,. because of enterprises.
because, you dont replace equipment for many years, ALSO a lot of enterprise equipment uses older interfaces because they are simpler and more reliable.

[odd sand]

USB-C to 3.5mm, USB-C to HDMI, USB-C to RJ45, etc...

And also the fact you generally don't need a driver installed either. It just automagically works.

I assume some of them are literally doing like driver injection of some sort when they connect?

[void dove]

yes and no

they CAN, by mounting a virtual optical drive disk and installing

thats waht a LOT of old 3G/4G USB modems used to do

[odd sand]

I know they negotiate power delivery etc.

[void dove]

but in this case, USB has some basic shit built into it that you dont really need drivers anymore

for simple communications

if you do, Windows update has them, so windows will just download and install them in like 2 seconds

but the last TTL Serial USB adapter i used, im pretty sure didn't need a driver

[odd sand]

Was going to buy a new USB cable for the power bank I ordered, but realized my portable projector came with a 65W rated cable, so that should be good enough.

[void dove]

ill probably check it when i get home later

[odd sand]

And who knows, maybe the cable can handle 100W even

[void dove]

the old USB to serial RS232 i have, does need a basic driver, i have it downloaded, but it also just auto installs from Microsoft's servers.

[odd sand]

I have time to test it before the trip bc the powerbank has an LED screen on it that tells you the draw it's doing etc. so I can see if it's 65W or higher

[void dove]

good old CH340 used in every cheap AF usb serial adapter

[odd sand]

My phone charges fast af with the 65W adapter, so I really hope it's negotiating the correct power

It came with like a 9V 2.67A and the 65W adapter has a 9V 3A mode so maybe that's what its doing

[torpid kayak]

eh is Asus Dual brand okay for VGA? I found some 6700 XT at $336.14 + bonus an ASUS TUF AIO, vs a 6750 XT at $416.49
both with full warranty
amazon reviews look like they have so-so experience so far

[sharp star]

Asus is fine for GPUs

imo my best experience with GPUs was with EVGA but they don't make GPUs anymore

[golden stream]

like, if you want top perf, nvidia just go to EVGA 9rip), AMD go to Sapphire

[torpid kayak]

https://i.imgur.com/3Y2klld.png

their last GPU was (technically) a prototype 4090 that never made it on shelves

hm 😄

darn I want a 3080 so much. But it either burns my wallet with official one or risk my sanity with 2nd-handed one XD

I think my UPS APC can't handle when my gpu use more power.

Its triggering the alarm

[royal forge]

Good thing the inspection was complimentary

[sharp star]

so undervolt?

or power limit, idk

[analog aspen]

was thinking of not using UPS

[golden stream]

hmmm

yeah prob undervolt can help

[dull garnet]

i doubt enough to make a difference

that said, my card is pretty conservative with power draw even when boosting, don't know about modern high end cards

Uh oh this one doesn’t have a preview

[sly elk]

oof

also: icehunter changed their name lol

one of the very few noctua things i own

[sly elk]

LOL WUT

that's gotta stink

i like how the seat is just.. imepccably clean

but there's garbage on the floor

[deep sapphire]

LMAO

[dull garnet]

nothing brings me so much joy

[sly elk]

$250 for a 6600xt, $250-ish for an arc of some sort, or $389 for a 3060

that 35% price difference is probably worth dealing with some level of bullshit

like most of the time I see someone looking at or buying amd/intel GPUs it's because they can't even afford an entry level nvidia equivalent

[dull garnet]

wouldn't you prefer something that works

[royal forge]

Blender is indeed fun.

But i would argue the AI gave ur face a bit of a shave down on the jaw

As in the chin is sharper

Cool tech tbh

Wasnt there a prank involving a japanese biker who drove around JP but used a faceapp filter to become a cute girl?

So got loads of followers or smthn

[dull garnet]

that biker was ice

I think its doable in blender with the particle system

Also depends on how "true to original" you want it

Hmm

Iirc there was a way to make accurate maps in blender via irl maps

Iirc it was pulling height maps??

If you can pull that info frm the game

It can be 100% accurate

BUT, i'd just recommend just pulling the ground mesh

Pull the ground mesh, merge em then upres

Or rather subdivide

Some sculpting to smooth it

As long as you dont fuck with the base mesh TOO much, you can even use pri textures

Also

Cute

I wonder if Codingway gets a ping everytime we use this command

@tame fulcrum https://youtu.be/Mj7Z1P2hUWk

Its interesting, of course

I mean, shit, if you want, you can even do particles for the leaves

But thats blender

I dunoe how you'd do that in UE

I've been tryin to bring my animation into UE from blender and its a bit painful

Thats.. quite pricey

Ye, but imagine tryin to load that shit

[dull garnet]

[cerulean talon]

Hrmph. That was slower than I liked.

Need more ram friendo.

[dull garnet]

😳

[cerulean talon]

If that wasn't the truth tho.

I think half my active machines are at 128. I want to take the next one to the 1T mark tho.

Truth.

Isn't nvidia doing a stupid GPU again this cycle?

New titan or something?

Damn I was hoping for a new titan series.

ti just feels normal now, titans felt special.

[dull garnet]

buy yourself a sharpie

titan

[cerulean talon]

No, I have classy sharpies already.

I got into pica markers, and never looked back. :P

[wind thistle]

Yeah, rumours about a 4090ti and a Ada RTX Titan @tame fulcrum.

The latter with 2 16-pin plugs.

[rigid hill]

50x series will be an industry changer

[cerulean talon]

That'd be what? 900w max? I'm kinda down for that in a card.

Need a side-car 12v power supply at that rate.

[hard drift]

1200w

1275 technically

[cerulean talon]

Oh I didn't realize those were 600 ea.

Still okay with this.

[hard drift]

Well, technically, the standard can be whatever it wants since it’s supposed to make power delivery a lot better and more stable for lesser psus but generally speaking they are 600

They are more or less just connectors to limit the maximum the GPU is allowed to draw

[cerulean talon]

If I wasn't concerned about grounding issues, I'd just use 2 circuits and slap down a dedicated 12v supply at this rate.

Sheesh.

[deep sapphire]

I love her

[cerulean talon]

Kupo knows my taste for purple. I approve.

[hard drift]

Thot

[jaunty light]

yeah that's the good stuff

oh and I already follow them since I have good taste

[modest moss]

weeb

[jaunty light]

thems are some big ass trees bro

[jaunty light]

[modest moss]

you should ask Gist to change it

nobody listens to me

[jaunty light]

it's because you are small and pink, raise your voice

[modest moss]

I think it's because I raise my voice too much

[jaunty light]

is that even a feature of blocking people

[modest moss]

let's test it

[sly elk]

hmm the way google fi handles plan switches is really obnoxious

[modest moss]

honk type

[jaunty light]

69

[sly walrus]

and then you click on them

[sly elk]

if you change plans, the plan change doesn't happen until your next billing cycle :S so if you want to add people to your account, they'll get added to the crappy plan you have (if you want the new plan lol)

[sly walrus]

and it's 0 blocked messages

[sly elk]

the way discord does blocking is so annoying lol

where it shows you every time a blocked user's message appears - in a way that sorta highlights that

[jaunty light]

it wants u to click on reveal

like playin a lottery scratcher
