That's the best part.

[potent arrow]

I

Dude what

How did it get picked up as that

What kinda network bullshit

Ubiquity what

[cerulean talon]

Don't worry, it's also picking up some other impossibilities, including a wireless-only EV charger connected to my 10gbe ports.

[potent arrow]

Ughhhhh

[cerulean talon]

And my TLC TCL TV.

[potent arrow]

Oh! I'm turning a shitty nucc into a pf sense box!

[cerulean talon]

Oh and it picked up a raspi as a Cisco WAP.

Dunno how the hell it did /that/

Also, nice!

I've got some SUPER chineseium boxes w/ 4 intel gbe's I use for that kind of meme dev work.

Auctually work super well.

[potent arrow]

Ooo

[cerulean talon]

This MAC address.

[potent arrow]

I

Dude

LOL

[cerulean talon]

Apparently, that block is owned by Xerox.

[potent arrow]

0___0

Xerox physical address typebeat

[cerulean talon]

We've got like 4 devices in there, that are not VM's, which is what the rang eis supposed to be for.

I'm terrified.

[potent arrow]

....

That's a recipe for disaster

[cerulean talon]

Oh well. SHIP IT.

[potent arrow]

[cerulean talon]

Just remember, you're looking at your future.

[potent arrow]

I have all the physical adresses indexed on my network lol

0_0

[cerulean talon]

We've got ~80-100 active IP's right now, which doesn't include any of the main VM hosts (Down for migrations)

[potent arrow]

Having all the mobile devices in my home on their subnetwork was the best idea I've ever had

[cerulean talon]

40,0/24 is my roomies, I'm 41, network/vm/infra is going into 42, and we're leaving all of 43 as DHCP so we can identify who to stab when the network goes screwball.

[potent arrow]

I ran out of leases a month ago and got confused. And for some reason it wasn't releasing addresses after leasing new ones,(I schedule these monthly)

[cerulean talon]

We ran into the same issue, DHCP had week-long leases and we burned 150 leases.

So we decided to give it 254 instead.

.>

[potent arrow]

[cerulean talon]

Also, I'm running out of 10gig ports

[potent arrow]

I fucking hateeeee DHCP I feel like it's the most common net issue I have to deal with

[cerulean talon]

Roomie runs it on AD, so I barely touch it.

[potent arrow]

Aaaaaa

Do not INVOKE AD IN THIS SERVER

So is my spare 24 port agg switch somewhere in the house.

[potent arrow]

F r e e

[cerulean talon]

:D

[potent arrow]

LOL

[cerulean talon]

Ubiquiti somehow doubled my order and sent me the second for free.

[potent arrow]

Half of em don't work

Woops I had my work label on it

Bruh give me it

[cerulean talon]

So I got 2 24 port aggs, 4 LR AP's, and 2 POE+ professional switches.

For essentially half price.

[potent arrow]

Do you have a physical firewall?

[cerulean talon]

Dream Machine Pro.

[potent arrow]

I'm sorry YOU HAVE MONEY

[cerulean talon]

Nomnomnom switches.

[potent arrow]

Mmmmmmm

Oh no you have voip

[cerulean talon]

We're SIP'ed to twilio.

We don't use UI Talk.

[cerulean talon]

Gotta have work lines somewhere.

[potent arrow]

I have to use QOS solely for voip

[cerulean talon]

Why?

Just have a 10gig backbone to your edge gear, and have 1000/50 edge.

nods

[potent arrow]

Fuck

Money over here lol

[cerulean talon]

The 10gig stuff is auctually amazingly cheap in general.

I think I got 40-ish SFP's for a couple hundo and a ton of fiber patches.

[potent arrow]

My budget is limited to TPlink sales and local liquidations

[cerulean talon]

We've moved to DAC's for the desktops and everything on the agg.

[potent arrow]

Oooo niiice

[cerulean talon]

I'll have to take a picture of the fiber loop.

It's uh, terrifying.

[potent arrow]

Wanna know something funny

[cerulean talon]

Sup?

[potent arrow]

I live next door to my parents

Did not want to pay for net

So I trenched from my server room

To this house

With fiber

It's beautiful

[cerulean talon]

That's what I'd do.

When I move next, I'm trenching multiple 25 gig fiber links between the property to the central switching/server closet.

I will have the speeds I want and the network will not tell me no.

[potent arrow]

I don't have a proper way to terminate fiber well, so I use a pretermin run I bought from the local ISP

So I have a giant ass loop of fiber in the basement because it was originally preterm from trunk to branch from the city

[cerulean talon]

Apparently, it's getting way easier to term fiber.

[potent arrow]

Network people in a nutshell

[cerulean talon]

Getting down to the point it's not much harder than cat-<insert whatever here>

I mean, network people don't like me.

I throw lots and lots of tiny packets across the network to make sure their switch gear is up to my standards.

"Don't want to respond to my /24 block assigned to every server? Not my problem, fix it network minion"

[potent arrow]

Heres a throwback to when I spammed photos of the project in this channel

[cerulean talon]

Seems accurate.

Screwdriver in the drywall is a feel tho

[potent arrow]

What a better way to cut drywall

Then a flathead

[cerulean talon]

Chainsaw.

Chainsword if you're in the 40k universe and/or have more funds than I do.

I also will accept "Spare 1u server you enragedly slam through the drywall because it's not working right"

[potent arrow]

Boltor at that point

I have actually cut out a chunk of tile ceiling with an IO shield before if that counts

[cerulean talon]

I want a little more control, a little less splash damage than that.

Ah yes, the classic "Everything's a saw if the material is soft enough"

Also I'll allow it in place of a 1U.

[odd sand]

172.16.0.0? That's the start of Class B private addressing

Or did you mean the mac addresses?

I assume Xerox PARC made the mac address system, in which case them having 00:00:00 wouldn't surprise me

[cerulean talon]

The MAC address.

Huh, yeah, PARC did make MAC, didn't know that tbh.

Private addresses I'm well used to. :D

MAC's I don't look at nearly as often as how badly I tend to break IP addressing.

too bad it's so damn expensive

Damn that’s gorgeous

[cerulean talon]

Good lookin card.

[hard drift]

but it costs as much as a 4090 😭

[dull garnet]

just like the 3070 version

friend was considering that one and it was more than a 3070 ti

[sly elk]

if they made an all black chromax version, that would be tempting if I were in the market for a 4080....

then again, most of the 40 series cards are ugly anyway

How confusing

[torpid kayak]

I used to see 6700 xt recommended here instead of 6800 xt here cuz better value. Does has 6800 xt bad value? 🤔

I forgot who recommended it 😄

[paper tusk]

it runs fine on 22h2 (although the latest monthly patch has a ssd speed bug when copying files that are multi-gig)

there's some jank during hunt trains (fps related) but i think it's a driver bug (and I need to put ram back to 3600)

[paper tusk]

it's perfectly fine although kinda in a tight spot value wise compared to 7900 xt

or the 6750 xt for a tier under it

[torpid kayak]

You kidding, we'll charge even more for the new process. More performance means more chips we can sell for more, by shifting consumer gear to datacenter gear.

[hard drift]

😭

one can hope for better

[inland mauve]

I remember when we thought the price for the 1080Ti was exorbitant

[cerulean talon]

I also have some serious questions about wtf it's doing.

[inland mauve]

now we're happy if we can pay that for a 4070

[cerulean talon]

How does GPU processing enable smaller transistors unless it's a modeling simulation, which would be better shoved to ASIC's anyway once it's stable as a model.

Entire thing feels fishy to me, and an excellent excuse to charge more money.

[proven spade]

Hey there can someone suggest me the best fans possible for my setup? Money is no object. Using corsair 5000D Airflow + a top mounted 360mm AIO (Deepcool LT720)
Besides the case fans, replacing AIO fans could also be done in the future
None of my parts are throtling with current passive cooling. (13900K+4090)
I imagine Noctua fans could be it

[kindred brook]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/11x2eso/finally_finished_full_custom_loop_pc_on_the_1000d/

[sly elk]

Performance wise i think the best are noctua or Corsair ML fans. I think I’ve seen another similarly good fan but I can’t remember who made it

Oddly the newer ML elite have less static pressure than the older ML pro

I think

Ml elites are 2.90 mm h2o and 58cfm at 30.4 db

Hmm but that’s better than the ml120 pro rgb

But non rgb ml120 pro can do 75cfm and 4.2mm h2o at 37db

[proven spade]

Do I use 3 120 or 2 140 ?

[sly elk]

Either way magnetic levitation beats any kinda bearing in longetivity

[proven spade]

yy

does noctua make those?

i read somewhere 6 years warranty

[uneven spade]

1080ti or 3080 for 700$ was like one of the best deals ever. yeah it was out of reach for the budget gamer but 700$ was a very accessible price point overall

now we are paying 800$ for 104 die

but prepare for the next joke soon

RTX 4060 with only 8GB of VRAM

[umbral moss]

almost all of these things are basically "try a hojillion configurations and use this efficiency % as a guideline"

like how they figured out how to make novel transistor layouts by letting the algorithm make 50 billion guesses until it managed to pack the required number of transistors per mm

[cerulean talon]

Interesting.

[umbral moss]

it's not that exciting, but it lets nvidia promote their dedicated ML accelerator hardware

we developed a novel way to improve litho yields, but you have to buy our $1.5M data cruncher to try it out

[cerulean talon]

Makes sense, when I heard "yields" my brain goes "physical production" over "brute forcing solutions"

The "cu" bit threw me off as well, as my brain literally only just now went from reading it as "copper" to "cuda"

[umbral moss]

I mean, that is the yield

if you make 50 chips per die because your answer to everything is "throw more transistors at it", the instant one of them has ten critically defective transistors you've just pissed away the profit on that wafer

so reducing defect rate improves yield

[cerulean talon]

Yeh, makes sense, just not how I was considering it.

Brain's a bit distracted with interview stuff today, and saw yield, saw cu, and went "How do GPU's help physically make, as in etch the photolitho masks"

[umbral moss]

you make the GPU using shitty masks, then the GPU helps make good masks

like making lasers to make lasers

[sly elk]

you're using a 360 aio? so use 3 120s?

I went from a 2x140 aio to a 3x120 aio and can't really say I noticed much of a performance/noise difference

maybe a little more noise? I just liked how 3x120 looked better

i'm sure 3x140 would look amazing if I could fit it >>

[cerulean talon]

lithomask-ception. I approve.

[umbral moss]

pretty standard tool making strategy 🤔

[proven spade]

360aio, but I meant for front, 2 140 or 3 120 ?

[sly elk]

whatever floats your boat

I think there may be a slight difference in amount of airflow but the difference is going to be seriously tiny. I'd consider 2x140 vs 3x120 to be an aesthetic choice

last night I saw a "car companies don't want you to know this trick" video on fb

[wraith agate]

I usually don't see ads because I use ublock but unfortunately solitaire has no adblock

[sly elk]

what was silly is the video showed the dude sitting in a kia, opens the glovebox, shoves the keyfob into a slot, and voila the car starts

like as if we're not supposed to know

I haven't read the owner's manual, but I'm pretty sure that slot in the glovebox is for starting the car if the battery in the keyfob dies

and the car companies DO in fact want you to know about stuff like that, it's in the owner's manual if you bother to read it

also up there in importance with newer cars: How to jump start it without blowing up the high voltage fuses, how to release the fancy shifter out of park, etc

[wraith agate]

lmao see I don't know those but because I don't have a car

nor a driving license

[late basalt]

“Hi, AAA? My battery died and I need a tech to come out”

[sly elk]

"No problem! I just wanted to let you know we're swamped right now since it's 5pm on a friday so it'll probably be 2-3 hours"

-4 hours later- "Sorry we still haven't found anyone to come out to you yet"

[cerulean talon]

Wait wait, we're supposed to know how to take care of cars?

[modern iris]

i just wait until my car dies or makes a funny noise

i guess i could look at the warning lights but that would be too easy

[odd sand]

It's even better than that: their system always says they'll be there in 90-120mins even if they haven't found anyone, but they never tell you that. I had them dick me around like that for 4 hours until everything in the area was closed. Luckily I was in a truck stop lot and a motel6 was next to it or I could have had to sleep in the car in 30 degree weather on the side of the road

[sly elk]

yea that's why you want to learn how to do things. Even if you default to calling AAA and it usually works out fine 🙂

no you dont, just disable "show apps in outlook" setting, in options > Advanced.
its very simple. not registry edits required.

[lost python]

that settings doesnt exist for me

[void dove]

then turn off the "try it now" toggle next to "coming soon" at the to right of the outlook window.
if that also doesn't exist, then what the fuck version of outlook are you even running, thats not normal.

[odd sand]

I mean, he had a complete character arc where he supposedly learned to love one woman and got married. Presumably the popularity of the movie wasn't expected so to make a 2nd movie they basically retconned the character arc from the first movie

I mean, he does the same thing in the second movie too

So I've got a question for the Sound People around here, if they've got the time.

I was at Best Buy yesterday getting some paper/ink and saw a Razer Soundbar and it got me to thinking that maybe with the last of my tax refund spending money I'd like to upgrade the sound for my entertainment.

I've done a little research but I'm still a little lost.

(I currently use a Corsair Virtuoso XT for my PC and an Astro A50 for my Series X....and nothing for my Switch other than monitor sound.)

I watched a few reviews on the Razer Leviathan (the one I saw in BB) and decided to pass on it. I saw a few good reviews on one called the Creative Katana V2, and the couple of BOSE ones I watched reviews for looked okay but they said they might be a little expensive for the performance.

Any suggestions or guidance on which one/what to get?

Particularly I'd like one that will work with my PC, Switch and Series X without needing a bunch of cable management (changing wires all the time) and sounds as good or better than my headsets.

As a secondary question; how exactly do you get the whole chat thing to work with a good sound system for games? It seems like any decent quality headset you'd wear to talk and hear other players would reduce the enjoyment from the sound system....but you also don't want everyone hearing idiots dropping Hard Rs in Halo over the speakers either.

[lost python]

does it have to be a soundbar?

external sub yay or no?

you use a headset. thats the only real solution to that

or you dont do voice chat

[dull garnet]

Sounds like you are used to trash

[lime wasp]

Not really, but the ones I was looking at were that because I figured they'd fit best with the space I have.

The Creative Katana V2 (and the $250 version of the Leviathan) had a sub so I'm not opposed to the idea of one.

[lime wasp]

I'd have to be.

I hang around on Discord after all.

That Sticker was way bigger than I thought it would be ._.'

[dull garnet]

Don't buy pc brand audio

[wraith agate]

I thought Razer was only good at audio

[lost python]

well i can tell you right away that the creative is "okay" if it was 150€ less and super bassy
razer is crap
one that i personally enjoyed is the Yamaha YAS-207

otherwise just get a decent pair of hifi speakers tbh. there are a lot depending on your budget though.

or if you really want to do voice chat while gaming, invest into a proper headset

razer has never been good at audio

I don't know the conversion but in the US the 282w Katana V2 is $350 and the 180w version is $190.

It's a 40 Series card.

That fits in SFF cases.

question

how do I reset my graphics driver to a previous version?

my game is stuttering worse than ever

[modest moss]

!faq ddu

[opal panther]

How to do a clean reinstall of your drivers

Step 1: Download Device Driver Uninstaller.

Step 2: Download the newest driver from your graphics card manufacturers website: AMD and/or Nvidia.

Step 3: Disconnect your internet and restart your PC in safe mode.

Step 4: Run Device Driver Uninstaller and click on 'Clean and Restart' after you select your device type and GPU.

Step 5: After the PC restarts and you are disconnected from the internet, install the drivers you downloaded from Step 2.

Step 6: After you install them, restart your PC one final time and reconnect your internet.

[modest moss]

Download the driver you want to use first

amd or nvidia sites will list older versions if you poke around

[wraith agate]

hmm

before I go for it, I might try an old trick

I restart my PC

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/the-princess-bride-inconceivable-word-meaning-gif-15941434

when I hear SFF I think of a computer smaller than a 40 series card

[wraith agate]

adorable

finally a PC that looks average next to me

[sly elk]

that said, that dual fan 4080 might fit some sff cases

I'm not a fan of the look (but I would be if it was all black) but I also can't hate em for trying different colors

also it uses normal fans sooo

you could theoretically take the card apart, put in chromax fans, and paint the shroud

Building cars is hard. Building Ford Broncos, it seems, is particularly difficult. The truck’s production has been stymied at every turn by issues from chip supplies to improperly-built parts, but now it faces a new issue: The Ford Ranger. Ford is pausing production on all manual-transmission Broncos, as well as the Base and Everglades trim levels, to revamp its Michigan Assembly Plant for the next-generation Ranger.

[deep sapphire]

What the fuck is ford even doing anymore

You can’t even make enough mavericks which I honestly forgot was even a thing

[sly elk]

https://layoffs.fyi/

[odd sand]

The Ranger will probably be a medium-sized truck still anyways, right? I can't imagine they'll make a bench-seat light truck again in 2023

Also doesn't make sense from the perspective that Broncos are popular now and they're gonna pause production for something else?

[sly elk]

they already have the maverick to take the place of what the original ranger was

the ranger they sell now is basically the f150 of europe

the maverick is already the length of a full size car

the 10" difference between the ranger and maverick is tough to comprehend, but the maverick is based on a fwd suv platform so it's probably roomier inside

maverick vs f150 though

this pic tells a better story

the old ranger is shorter but has more bed because it has less cab XD

[odd sand]

Randomly picked the 1992 Ford Ranger and it was apparently 181-198 inches long depending on the bed length.

And yes, I can't imagine them selling a standard cab truck anymore bc the margins aren't big enough for them even if there might be demand as service trucks

Funniest thing to me was Napa going from Ford Rangers to like Fiestas or something

[sly elk]

yeeeaaa

i've seen worse

before the rangers, most of the napa stores in the bay area had geo metros

WITH THE HAT

at its height, that location had a bunch of rangers

now they've only got one uh yaris?

hol up is that only 2 slots cards?
ngl that's a sleek design if not for Noctua brown

[sly elk]

sadly can't find a pic of a white geo metro with that goofy napa auto parts hat on it

oh well

[odd sand]

Oh yeah it wasn't Fiestas it was the Yaris right.

Which makes a certain amount of sense, since they rarely haul anything big. Don't need much space for a few brake rotors and pads, or maybe a radiator.

[sly walrus]

alpha, get me five 40-somethings with significantly dulled attitude

[sly elk]

I recall hearing that when ford discontinued the ranger in the US back in like 2010, the reason they didn't announce a replacement was they found most of their buyers bought it because it was the cheapest car they sold, regardless of type or use case

and they decided they had other cars that were similarly cheap and people could just buy those

It turns out that most Ranger owners don’t agree with me. “Ford has conducted research that shows that the majority of Ranger buyers don't purchase the vehicle because it's a pickup,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford's Vice President of Global Product Development, in an interview with Autoblog. “Instead, they come into the showroom looking for the least expensive, most economical Ford available.” Kuzak also mentioned that the automaker hopes those looking for cheap transportation will opt for the Ford Fiesta, while shoppers who want big utility in a small package will consider the Transit Connect.

[odd sand]

Saw people meme'ing on Reddit about Mighty Morphine Power Rangers Oww, my back!

[sly elk]

lol

[odd sand]

Yeah I think that's largely what happened is they shifted from the Ranger to the Transit Connect

[sly elk]

and then discontinued the transit connect 😄

[odd sand]

Did they really? Are they insane?

[sly elk]

hmm I thought they did

oh they discontinued the passenger transit connect

wait wait no

they DID

Ford initially planned to manufacture the third generation of the Transit Connect in Mexico for export to the United States and Canada, instead of manufacturing them in Spain, to avoid having to manufacture the cargo variants of the Transit Connect as passenger vans and then convert them to cargo configuration after entry into the US before being delivered, while still avoiding the 25% US chicken tax tariffs imposed on imported commercial vans and trucks. However, Ford cancelled these plans due to declining sales of the small van segment in those markets.[32][33]

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a40980275/the-ford-transit-connect-is-leaving-the-us-after-2023/

I think whoever is running ford is currently trying to run it into the ground

[odd sand]

Oh I heard about that. The irony is the "chicken tax tariff" was their own lobby doing lol

[sly elk]

it's the only thing that makes sense to me, which is freaky because a couple years back they seemed to be making one madly successful thing after another

eh there's more to it.

The third-generation Tourneo Connect for the European market was released in October 2021 as a rebadged and restyled fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy.[27]

see basically ford decided to stop making transit connects ENTIRELY

not even in europe

they're just selling a rebranded vw caddy now

[odd sand]

They lobbied for the tax to prevent foreign vans and trucks from being sold in the US, which then fscked them here where they wanted to build them outside the US

So they would put a cheap plastic seat into them that could be unbolted after being brought into the country

[sly elk]

yup

that is ironic af

i like the vw interior with the ford wheel lmao

[odd sand]

Doesn't make sense bc the small van market is very popular and profitable isn't it?

[sly elk]

idk

So I'm gonna guess Dell/Alienware and any other QD-OLED displays are at higher risk for burn-in than WOLED

It was so annoying because I bought them less than a year before they went EOL

[uneven spade]

ethereum exploding

[sharp star]

Ethereum should literally explode

[uneven spade]

like all of that crypto bullshit

ohh the channel is showing some restoration signs (nvm, the scammers are trolling)

[royal forge]

Uh

The fuck is happening?

To LTT?

[royal forge]

Hacked or meme

[potent arrow]

This is a common crypto scam lmfao

I've seen it on multiple channels before

It's just a 2FA hack

[royal forge]

Then why old Linus vids

[potent arrow]

It deleted/hides videos so old stuff is probably coming back up

John Heinz and a few others I followed had the same issue lol

YouTube is probably trying to restore their videos rn

[royal forge]

Ah

[potent arrow]

I can name so many channels this has effected

It's hilarious how all of them had google 2Fa too

[royal forge]

The musk rat streamin was a surprise

[potent arrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf9ERdBkM5M

Bypasses 2FA lol

[golden stream]

Ehhhhh LTT got hacked??

Their twitter is also gone

[royal forge]

i see their twitter still

[golden stream]

Their twitter now set privated
The handle still LTT but not the display name, display name be NOT LINUS

[royal forge]

hmm

https://twitter.com/LinusTech

[golden stream]

Ohhhhh ok I searched the other handle tho

TechLinked gon as well

[royal forge]

i mean

wouldnt you WANT 2FA normally

[uneven spade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/231848857401556995/1088426461179949086/image.png

the main channel is down

[uneven spade]

Google's 2FA is shit lmao

[royal forge]

what would the alternative be?

[uneven spade]

avoid passwords altogether

go with security keys

Stuff like YubiKey exists for this very reason

the idea of normal passwords should just burn in hell already

[wide hill]

from what i heard, they stole the login cookie token

so, if you got access to the browser cookies, then it would be as if you were always logged in

since the cookie is grabbed when you already confirmed with a 2fa

one way to fix this, is to make every single tab a seperate cookie-cache.
new tab? login again.

but that could only be done on your own browser

[graceful pine]

2fa can only do so much with a skilled hacker

[deep sapphire]

This should be a wake up call for google to get their shit together

The fuckin rampant scams and security is so bad on YouTube

[graceful pine]

Plenty of YouTubers I would never think would get hacked have been lately

Like a heavy metal guitarist I watch he got hacked like a year ago

Dunno why someone would hack his account

[modest moss]

Whale recommended authy

[uneven spade]

Google just doesn't give a shit lmao. they are within the same mindset as Internet Explorer that went through

basically sit and do nothing

[graceful pine]

Forget if Brin and Page are still at the head of google

Would think they would care

[golden stream]

I use Authy tho, it's fine

[wide hill]

authy?
https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/26/twilio-breach-authy

this one?

[potent arrow]

I just recomend using a password manager and yubikey lmaoooooo

and I use keypass 2

[modest moss]

That reads like it was phishing

[wide hill]

internal phishing

or i think so?

[modest moss]

Yeah, but isn't everything vulnerable to that

Gotta gamble somewhere

[wide hill]

According to the company, the as-yet-unidentified threat actor convinced multiple Twilio employees into handing over their credentials, which allowed access to the company’s internal systems

on a different article

however

2fa shouldn't have been accessible internally either?

you'd hope they encrypt it, and you decrypt it when entering in with a password

oh nvm

The attack used SMS phishing messages that purported to come from Twilio’s IT department, suggesting that the employees’ password had expired or that their schedule had changed, and advised the target to log in using a spoofed web address that the attacker controls.

they were using their phone numbers to send fake links, to make it look legitimate.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/90812/rtx-3080-ti-gpus-reportedly-bricking-while-playing-diablo-iv-beta/index.html @deep sapphire another game killing nvidia cards

[torpid kayak]

13600kf worth to consider over 12600k if price gap is 100 usd?

[hard drift]

what's the price gap comparing it to the 12600kf?

but overall it's not a huge difference going from 12600k to 13600k so it depends on what you want to spend it on. you could use that extra money saved for a slightly better gpu or a bigger ssd

[torpid kayak]

Around $230 for 12600k

[hard drift]

that's the k or the kf?

[torpid kayak]

K

[hard drift]

i mean personally i'd go for the 12600k and use the money saved on something else

[torpid kayak]

Mhm i lean toward that too

There is also 5600 which is 50 buck cheaper, but i think to die on the hill of 12600k

[deep sapphire]

You know what’s funny about this

They had the same exact problem when Starcraft II first came out

The menu ran at an uncapped frame rate causing GPUs to run at max utilization

People would idle at the menu not thinking anything of it and it was killing nvidia fermi cards

[real edge]

LOL

[hard drift]

Fermi was horrible 😭 the fucking grill

[deep sapphire]

The architecture was actually pretty good for the time it’s just the die was massive and it generated a ton of heat

It did really well in computation workloads even beating the 780Ti

But let’s be real Kepler was a meme

The GTX 700 series became obsolete so fast

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

Why aren’t you cool like willie Nelson in his ragged old Chevy

[hard drift]

I’m not cool because I’m sick 😭

[deep sapphire]

Pleb

[hard drift]

Gonna develop toned abs from all this coughing

[deep sapphire]

Need to quit smoking

[hard drift]

Lmao

Second hand smoking gonna kill me

[deep sapphire]

I remember when Skype had a hidden emote for smoking and it had a smiley face coughing with a smoke hanging out of its mouth

Fuckin discord mobile

Gif isn’t playing

[hard drift]

I don’t know what you mean it’s playing on my end

[wide hill]

don't upload a 10gb gif

I’m not willie Nelson because I’m not 89 and a country musician

what is that title lmao

[sly walrus]

i had a samsung blu-ray player once that i swear to fuck was haunted

[hollow hamlet]

oh my fycking good

[lost python]

because amd can only use its HDR mode with freesync disabled for whatever reason

[real edge]

my odyssey G7 is working really well but I see a lot of people on the internet complain about theirs

[hollow hamlet]

all my google searches and services are blocked in express vpn

Just started today, been using the vpn forever

wtf

ven my gmail app on my phone. Everything google, across desktop and mobile just will not work. Everything else is fine... what's going on today? Did I miss something?

eh, I don't need to see my email rn anyway, i'll check it tonight. :\

[modern iris]

Does anyone know the logistics that goes behind banning an app? (due to the tiktok controversy)

I'm in software engineering, so dont be afraid to get more technical in the response. Lets say TikTok gets banned in the U.S. What exactly is "banned" by law?

The entire code? The name? The entire company? Patents? Etc..

What would stop the company from creating "TokTik", if TikTok gets banned, with the exact/tweaked code?

I never understood how software can get banned, since software is just code.

[inland mauve]

it depends on the exact wording of the ban, but generally it means that it is policy not to allow a certain application to be run for certain conditions, and the understanding that people will follow the "spirit" of the ban and not try to find loopholes around it

if you want to make the ban also enforced on a technical level you're going to have to think about using an application like InTune, which forces a mobile device to follow technical limitations put in place by an organization in order to be allowed access to certain digital services of that organization

[odd sand]

In the case of Tiktok I believe it's essentially looking for a ban on that corporate entity and any related companies or subsidiaries

[uneven spade]

Fermi indeed had issues in terms of temps, yields and etc but as an architecture? it was awesome. Kepler on other hand was a complete disaster

[odd sand]

So they aren't allowed to have a subsidiary company roll out an app called Rikrok to get around the ban

[modern iris]

Thank you guys for explaining!

[graceful pine]

In reality people would likely circumvent the ban

VPN or even a tor browser

[inland mauve]

in my experience you need enforcement, because a lot of people don't fully understand the risks of the digital world and/or just don't think about it

[modern iris]

If TikTok is banned, Apple would likely be forced to remove it from the App Store. @graceful pine

[graceful pine]

They would yeah

[modern iris]

Android can just sideload tho

[inland mauve]

so for a government agency to be absolutely sure that TikTok won't come anywhere near their data, they would need to use something like InTune

[graceful pine]

But there would be a lot of potential ways around it

[inland mauve]

and ban devices not enrolled in their InTune program from accessing their web services

[graceful pine]

Which is all sorts of potential privacy violations

[inland mauve]

we do the same thing up to a certain level, for a mobile device to get direct access to our internal network, it has to be enrolled in our InTune programme

but people don't need InTune to read their email on their mobile device

so we could still go further with it

[graceful pine]

intranet and stuff is another matter

[odd sand]

Yeah generally the way it's done is use endpoint mgmt of the gov devices to make sure its not installed, and check network traffic logs for any traffic associated with Tiktok

[graceful pine]

I imagine you would be able to access tik tok through a tor browser

[inland mauve]

also have a clearly communicated Acceptable Use policy, and make sure that people understand they're expected to follow the Acceptable Use policy and that violations of it may have disciplinary consequences

[odd sand]

Can't sites have embedded tiktok videos though? So I wonder how that would work

[uneven spade]

Kepler was a meme due to its SMX layout. 192 CUDA cores per SMX while each SMX had only 4 warp schedulers (each could address up to 32 threads at once. 32x4=128). so 1/3 out of each SMX went unused unless you did write extra code to account for that issue. however, this wasn't the worst part of it. the unused cores still ate bandwidth

tanking performance even more

[inland mauve]

that's a good point, I know that you can circumvent Youtube bans by watching a Youtube video embedded on another site

[umbral moss]

the issue isn't watching tweens do stupid dances, it's the fact that the app harvests all your data 24/7 and sends it back to the CCP

[graceful pine]

like the first step that was taken makes plenty sense

[odd sand]

Yes, I'm aware

[graceful pine]

it's banned on all government devices

that makes plenty sense

[odd sand]

I dunno why anyone at an age they would be working for a govt position would want to be on tiktok anyways

[graceful pine]

some politicians used it for advertising actually

well political adds

most notably the youngest senator in the senate

[umbral moss]

it's literally aimed at rule 4 politicians who specialize in outrage generation and they have a larger social media team than they do legal advisors

[odd sand]

I say that and then my brother sent me a link to him "going viral" on tiktok yesterday bc of a neighbor

[umbral moss]

one thing that a particular group of politicians has figured out is mastery over using the internet to recruit and radicalize

[graceful pine]

though if people still access tik tok through a tor browser

[umbral moss]

and tiktok is where The Youth is these days, so you can see a whole bunch of supremely awful content aimed at them going through that channel

[graceful pine]

I feel that would block a lot of the potential data harvesting

I don't know fully how tor works

[odd sand]

Couldn't they still hire a 3rd party to post the outrage content to tiktok for them?

[umbral moss]

this is literally why gettr and truth exist lmao

[modern iris]

TikTok, as far as whats fundamentally known, does not send "american data to the CCP". You're just echoing baseless thoughts.

TikTok is not even a Chinese company, and the CEO is not Chinese.

[inland mauve]

Tor might mask your IP but that's not going to do you much good if the app has access to a bunch of other apps on your phone and can just pull the data directly from there

[umbral moss]

bytedance isn't associated with the chinese government?

[graceful pine]

it's owned by Bytedance

which is a company in the people's republic of china

[umbral moss]

tiktok tried to save itself by making a subsidiary that's based outside of china but the app is identical

[graceful pine]

the ceo is Singaporean sure

[modern iris]

Saying a company is owned by another company does not speak any volume in contracts or legal data collection

For example, Nestle owns a shit ton of companies

But all their subsidiaries are independently ran

As is Tiktok with Bytedance

[inland mauve]

there is no transparency on TikTok, no data processing agreements, no audits, no certifications, no idea why it needs to collect all that data, we just have the promise of the company to go on and promises are just words

[umbral moss]

nestle is also the most evil megacorp on planet earth, so your example is kind of weak

[inland mauve]

IMO TikTok should've just been the start of the ban

[modern iris]

I specifically chose that because of this.

So no, my example was perfect.

[inland mauve]

did you just ask your first question as part of a bad faith argument on why TikTok should not be banned?

[modern iris]

Not all of Nestles subsidiaries are evil, or evilly sourced.

[graceful pine]

literally based in Beijinh

[umbral moss]

tencent is closer to a "we have no idea what our subsidiaries are doing"

[modern iris]

Is Riot games a chinese company now?

[umbral moss]

nestle is lockstep, goosestep towards "we want to control everything you can eat or drink"

[modern iris]

Tencent owns them.

I would argue the majority do not view it that way.

[umbral moss]

riot's data collection policies have raised a lot of eyebrows, so yeah

people do question if riot is, in fact, a chinese company now

[modern iris]

As has every single american company in tech

[inland mauve]

"American companies do it too" is not a good argument

Google and Facebook have raised plenty of eyebrows themselves

[modern iris]

It wasnt used as an argument, it was used as a reply to the same value as what was originally stated

[graceful pine]

it's a start on cracking down on malicious data harvesting

and with tik tok's direct ties to the CCP

[umbral moss]

yeah, whataboutism where you bring up the exact same problem is like... 🤔

[inland mauve]

this really is just a bad faith argument

[graceful pine]

there is straight national security interests involved that kicks the ball rolling

[modern iris]

I dont think you are understanding why I brought up the exact same problem

This is not a TikTok problem, and TikTok should not be banned. It is a fundamental problem with industry wide tech standards

Our Government is absolutely dog tier when it comes to tech policies and laws regarding consumers.

[umbral moss]

tiktok is the first domino to fall

[modern iris]

And it will be the last

[umbral moss]

don't expect insta or youtube to come out of this unscathed

[modern iris]

Because Facebook has existed for several decades now.

[graceful pine]

we hit the CCP first and it tips the dominoes

[umbral moss]

facebook has existed for several decades and they've largely enjoyed protection from the law under the "well, rich people are making money so it must be OK" policy

[modern iris]

Again, TikTok is not related to the CCP as to what is publicly known, or as far as their legal data collection is concerned. (in response to Roan)

[umbral moss]

that shit isn't flying anymore

so companies like google and facebook are starting to shit bricks as they realize that monetizing user data without consent or transparency isn't going to be a viable business model for them going forward

that's why they're all pivoting towards "the metaverse" or "AI chat"

[inland mauve]

you are missing the point, the problem isn't that it goes to the CCP anymore, it just sent the ball rolling where people are now thinking "hey exactly where is my data going and what are you doing with it"

the GDPR in the EU does not apply to just Chinese apps

it applies to every form of processing of PII

[umbral moss]

GDPR should be an international standard

[modern iris]

If you believe they will be going after American based companies after this, you're insane. Our congress has absolutely zero understanding of how this works. A congressman literally asked the TikTok CEO if "TikTok has access to our home routers".

[umbral moss]

and it's why facebook and google started whining to the US government

[inland mauve]

it needs some improvements, but something like it definitely should

[graceful pine]

it just takes some good ole cold war tensions to tip the dominoes

[umbral moss]

we have congressmen who were alive before alexander graham bell invented the fucking telephone

[modern iris]

This has been a hot topic since 2009, and a congressman specifically mentioned it was a similar experience with Mark Zuckerberg. Who is still doing very well with Facebook, btw.

[umbral moss]

no shit they don't have any idea how the internet works

[inland mauve]

but right now it needs some enforcement of the Legitimate Interest legal ground, because I keep seeing companies abuse that ground

[modern iris]

My point is that congress does not care about our privacy, otherwise companies such as Facebook would have already been banned.

[odd sand]

Jack Ma was disappeared for a few months before resurfacing and was forcibly divested of Alibaba. If he can get steamrolled by the CCP, any company with majority business in China can.

[modern iris]

Congress only cares because TikTok = china to them.

[inland mauve]

so then make them care, this attitude of "TikTok should not be banned because you don't ban Facebook" isn't going to change anything

[odd sand]

It would be naive to think China doesn't have access to all the data collected when they forcibly install CCP reps in all major companies and monitor the internet there with deep packet inspection

[modern iris]

Im not trying to change anything, hence why I dont think TikTok should be banned.

[graceful pine]

it's far better to at least use the cold war tensions to kick start the data regulation

than do nothing
