didn't Diablo 4 had some memory leaks or so?
diablo 4 had so many problems 
game was dogshit for optimization
if the release isn't any better 
don't remind me OW2...
ow2 was still more playable than diablo 4
the problem was the game would crash and shit and it was literally just the games fault, it was all over their forums and shit
tho you could play the game at launch just fine on the 30/40 series.
!hank
woah cute
OW2 suffered from horrible latency issues and didn't help that NVIDIA did stick with INTx until Ampere has arrived
OW2 is a bad game
thank god nvcleaninstall for installing drivers in msi mode by default
yet you still play it 
and that is coming from someone who played OW1 religiously
although xiv isn't much better 
i swear i saw you playing it the other day
OW2 you lost 12 games in a row
and it makes you not wanna bother playing it
WHERE THE FUCK IS START
oh there it is

I agree, I played OW1 myself from 2016 until 2018. peaked at top500 in season 9 but If I have to be honest
had a bit of hope for the game
as they did fix some of the major issues from OW1
going from 6v6 to 5v5 by making only 1 tank as the default, they got rid of Brig's CC
genuinely I enjoyed OW2 at its beginning until the balance problems were literally in front of my face at master elo
zarya vs zarya every single game
gross
that won't be for a long while

considering the series S is 10gb
we got a long time
10GB will be basically the minimum requirement
it's been forever at this point
time to move on gramps
I don't see 8 gig offerings like the 4060 lasting for too long in the market
the "saving grace" of the 4060 will be dlss 3 
it was put in quotes for a reason 
dlss3 along with fsr3 are trash
to be fair, the 970 had a driver mitigation. the NVIDIA driver would allocate 512mb for very lightweight information while the 3.5GB framebuffer will be used for everything
and honestly. the card has aged well
NO NEVER
I NEVER GOT MY...
what was it
3 bucks?
from that lawsuit?
https://i.imgur.com/wziloH5.png 3090 vs 4090 has a very large price gap lol 😮
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE SAVED UP FOR THE 4090
RIGHT @real edge

i still get messages from those GPU sellers btw
make a kidney fund so we can share the 4090 together :3
still offering me 4080s
nah. i already sold my spare kidney for this 3090

remind me of Arm upgrade in Megaman X4
You either has four charges of your default charged shots, or a super shot that makes short works of everything in seconds.
Window shopping for a number of gaming PCs that could be purchased altogether for less than the cost of a single nVidia Geforce RTX 4090 graphics card.
Consumer-grade graphics cards for £1500+ like nVidia’s brand new RTX 4090 don’t, in my opinion, have a great reason to exist. Rather than spend the RTX 4090’s release day picking over benchmarks...
tbh
you had a good reason to get the 3090
for the extra vram buffer
for your 3D work
some people did recommend for you to wait but you really really wanted to go through with it and I do not blame you for feeling pressured for an upgrade
pressure is a common shitty tech tactic
that companies employ
and if you want a 4090 you can sell your 3090 for like 1000$ and grab it for 1600$, although its not worth it in your case
you are fine with what you have
for a long time
its ok no need to feel pressure

I think better to buy one or two generation behind of current gen. Though 50xx is gonna terrible at this rate.
nah. it's ok
im quite happy with the 3090
im really pleased with it
and legit
im happy to hear that
the ONLY laptops/PCs that has given me grief are the ones i've not custom built
Tbf, I expect my gpu to do one of two things
Explode a fiery death when it goes
Or last until the heat death of he universe
And so far the second option seems more likely
gonna build my first PC. Wish me luck :3
good luck
good luck bud
I don't have those 😄
Figured
(im trying to convince my clinic to take my old logitech membrane because the china wireless one they have is fuckin trash)
so i have an excuse to sell and get a mechanical
Quietly break the connections for the space and enter keys 
i dont even need to.
the fuckin numpad works on and off
the A key doesn't work
like
the vowels
most of em
i think like...3 of em
hm my Logteich keyboard has its keycap's letters fades away
it looks like someone just scratch the paint off 😦
am supposed to replace keycaps often?
no, sounds like logi-shit 😛
meh 😦
i stopped buying them years ago, they screwed me over on warranty twice, both because of devices failing, so yea, take from that what you will.
I guess I will avoid it when my thing finally breaks then
I have several logitech stuffs. G502 mouse works fine. The 5.1 speakers too. Only the G512 keyboard has keycap fading problem
Keycap fade would be considered normal wear and tear, so warranty coverage seems iffy on that
they seem to have become a bit, hit and miss in recent years, in terms of product quality and service.
True
For as much as people shit on razer lately, I have an old Lachesis that still works from like….7-8 years ago
i used to run g400 mice, Both broke at the connection to the mouse, because the cable was so flimsy and had no support.
love the shape, so i found a copy cat mouse from Roccat
I just stopped using it because I couldn’t be bothered cleaning it anymore 
and i can't kill the thing
it was cheaper than the g400
and has a braided cable
and is otherwide the same shape
and has RGB logo on it, the g400 did not back then
its overall better, in many ways, except the software is crap
But i dont use the software, so i dont care 😄
i make my own macros
I’ve got the 502 now, but my only complaint is that it’s like….1/2 an inch too short
keyboard i replaced with a roccat as well, but it was an odd mini keyboard
interesting, not bad quality, but one of the keys i broke off
oops 😛
wwell outside warranty thou (unlike logitech 😦 )
so i replaced it with a Corsair K55, been very happy with it
my old logitech g510 still works, but id gotten sick of how bulky it was
so its catching dust
g400 was a mx518 replacement wasnt it?
and i debate if i should buy several for backup
well
they re-released the MX518
As one of the most-beloved gaming mice ever, MX518 has inspired legions of fans around the world to ask Logitech G to bring it out of retirement. And we heard you. We pulled the original tools from the Vault and meticulously restored them—right down to the original glossy keyplate. It’s the classic, comfortable shape you know and love, now with ...
yeah, purely a marketing stunt, since the g400 existed
i've YET to see a mouse that can has it's exact shape
for a replacement
i actually have an easier time to get the new 518 rather than the g400
but the side curve
has more buttons same shape
the left side thing is just a skid, your thumb can rest on, doesn't change the shape much
slightly less shape, but still has the thumb side on the left
however this is the full basic copy of the mx518/g400
mine is an older version of this
its basically identical
but same shape
ah here, i have this exact one
doesn't exist anymore afaik
specifically went for it because its a clone of a g400
im surprised logitech hasn't attempted introducing the shape into more designs
their new ones are...
i dunoe
not great
yeah i know what you mean
and this has a braided cable, AND reinforced where the cable meets the mouse, no cable stress, that broke 2 of my old g400 s
id have to try to break this thing
i HAVE debated getting one of em custom braided cables

Well then... that's where my ram went
I have 32gb ram and I couldn't start my VM bc I didn't have enough ram... 93% usage.
Been trying to figure out why that is then close the Pikamee stream tabs and the /vt/ thread window and RAM usage drops to 48%

is that why it runs like shit?
well it would for that video benching a 3070ti on ultra at 1440p yeah
but hey I'm getting around 60fps in this opening cutscene
is VRAM the bottleneck for performance in this port?

just pay the price of an excellent gaming PC for a single component and you will never play a bad port again
watch miqo'te in limsa at 200 fps
Midwest is all the same 
already seen as low as 27 fps
so realistically I'll need to drop the settings a bunch
might as well just install the remaster on ps5 and save on power
even this high preset needs 10gb vram
lol
medium is over
fucking lol

I hope FSR3 is good
it will be open source
like 2 was
why?
DLSS 2 is better quality
Don’t know why but steam won’t open for me, it’s running but it’s not opening
I couldn't even find a DLSS option in TLoU
tried restarting your pc?
I did and even reinstalling though funny thing is that steam shuts itself down in task manager
wtf
That’s weird
Wtf
Reuters -
“DETROIT, March 31 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N) plans to phase out widely-used Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies that allow drivers to bypass a vehicle's infotainment systems, shifting instead to built-in infotainment systems developed with Google for future electric vehicles.”
Wonderful. Now the 2 choices we have for phones will carry over to our cars 
not quite
they specifically say they're ditching android auto support as well
which is where it gets funny
True, but -
General Motors plans to phase out widely-used Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies that allow drivers to bypass a vehicle's infotainment systems, shifting instead to built-in infotainment systems developed with Google for future electric vehicles.
GM's interior computer system already runs android
back when we got our cadillac in 2018 I used to rather regularly see it glitch out and out would pop a dialog saying something like "Android is restarting" lol
I haven't seen that much lately
it also has the settings page where you can force stop apps
If I understand it correctly, they are ditching the more open android setup for an integrated Google/GM system
(I’m very paranoid about this stuff though)
lol
I guess my best corollary is older Ford power steering. I learned to drive on my dad's old Ford Ranger. If you turn the steering to full lock and push it slightly more the power steering goes RRRGGGRRRGRRRGRRRRR and it sounds like it's about to explode. It's not broken, that just what all the Ford power steering systems from the time did. Made a bunch of racket and drama because "Ferd."
didn't notice it, uninstalled it anyway
Of course, wouldn't want people modding their cars for free now, would we?!
Do we have a push to talk button now that works globally?! 
it's not electron anymore? 😮
the thing I never understood about teams
is why searching history is so bad
hell I found out recently most companies only let you search back a week or a month max
😄 I bet it also moved the location of the mute button again
nope 
haha
20k markup, screw that.
Just remove dealers from the entire process, thanks.
my truck does that too lol
!hank
!hank
Anyone else also not able to open steam?
mine works fine
!hank
Yeah I even reinstalled, and restarted
I would suggest contacting steam support
!hank
Oh hell no April fools is starting
!hank
Does that mean the accursed uwu bot is active?
it is
!hank
OwO. Quality post Kupo.

Is that command just pulling random catgirl pics
API'ed from nekos.best, so not fully random.
thats a nice oinker in your pfp
thanks babe, figured I should have something related to the game we mod for
homie add a 4090 to that iphone delivery
LMAO

My PC…..just needed a dang update
oof, all fixed now?
Yeah…….this is embarrassing
we've all done it
I was freaking out all day, over literally nothing
!hank
Very blue. nods
Hmmm
how viable is it to convert a tablet into a second monitor but maintain it's touch screen capabilities?
or is there a monitor with touch screen capabilities?
IIRC there's a few apps that support that type of thing.
im debating getting a second monitor just so i can have either streams or different textbooks open simultaneously
so I can make notes and study without alt tabbing
I highly suggest it myself, it's nice to have that level of flexibility.
Second in general.
do you recommend getting the same model?
Mismatched screens are /awful/
ah
gotcha2
im debating using one of em monitor arms
cuz my desk space is very limited
If I could on my setup, I would.
!hank
my side screens are lower res but that's fine because my middle screen is a 34" anyway so the side ones are wayy off to the side anyway
but yea I agree, especially on a duo
Triple identical 4k's is the way.
I need to install the work monitor upstairs in case I have to do work not at my main desk.
This job is tempting
But I don't know if my Bachelor of IT (Advance Networking) + Cloud Engineering will work

This is a job to be Network Infrastructure Engineer for FFXIV
Just s/udp/tcp/g and you can be the network eng for square.
i think that's the first time i've seen someone use sed syntax since my IRC days
You can use it here.
The what
I often correct small mistakes w/ sed syntax. :P
it'll cookie whatever you said in your last message lmao
The pay for this job pretty good
What?
Square changed over from UDP to TCP which broke ACT months ago, and again recently.
idk why they'd use tcp
No idea, I just recall it breaking /everything/
i'd insist on the server sending an acknowledgement back explicitly, I wouldn't buy relying on tcp protocol to do it for me.

So the salary for this job is around 9.7mil Yen
Or 110k AUD
But I have to pay a lot of tax
man, some of my software runs in space and I wouldn't take a job that involved databases 
I love databases tbh.
Oh what
Database architecture is just fun.
I'm interested working in Data Centre, because I can say "I make sure this place keeps running"
yea see that's... that's my part
Less it gets burn to the ground
Mongodb is fine if you want 0 data reliability
What's Mongodb?
Just use memcache tbh.
it's not so much the data reliability, I just meant I like key/value stores
eg
not structured data
I've written a MongoDB wireprotocol query translator to PSQL wire protocol in python.
:3
and this again may show my ignorance 😄 I thought mongo wasn't structured

knowing sql as a programmer is important because any time you deal with data meddling it seems to come up
i got a laugh out of that when i was playing with spark and stuff back in the day
I mean, yeah, SQL is glorious because it's nice and standard, and simpler than trying to write a new DSL every 30 minutes when someone says "Oooh, new data lake"
but to me heavily structured relational models scream "I know the entire problem before I even begin touching a computer and I've planned everything out perfectly, and it will never change"
i like what happens when somebody says "no we can't let people use sql, they might break things"
I'm studying to take my CCNA, CCNP and Oracle Python Certification
and then they produce a syntax like SQL but worse
On one hand, lemme introduce you to kupo, on the other, lemme introduce you to sqlalchemy.
Sqlalchemy and I have had... words.
Oh no, what's Kupo?
I'm currently a maintainer for KupoBot, the bot that supports stuff like
!hank

How does it feel maintaining KupoBot?
In relative terms, KupoBot is a very small project compared to the ones that I've maintained for jobs in my career.
Small in his case being something like 50k discords and 5-10mish users.
It's a fun project for me with very interesting constraints that I don't usually have when employed and working on a project.
5 - 10mil user right?
Mmhmm.
I guess it's like coding bit for fun
Pretty much, he's a fun project, and brings up some interesting problems.
Which leads to interesting solutions that fit well into his problemspace.
Any funny problems you can share?
Sure, the easiest is the !hank command, which is an alias of !catgirl. In kupo's original configuration, he had the abitilty to have commands /disabled/ in a channel (All enabled by default), but not the ability to have a command /enabled/ in a specific channel, while being off everywhere else.
Ohhhh
This is slightly problematic for commands that are highly likely to be spammed, and the way his checking system was written was for the former, not the latter.
So one evening I hashed out an entire access-control-list system, embedded it into his core, added a dozen-ish new commands, so we could have !hank. The system will support far more commands and usages into the future, but it's weird problems like that.
The other big one was his SQL upgrade, but that was it's own death I'm still debugging from time to time.
That's something you don't see in professional work
Guess KupoBot is like any other Moogle
Usually, no, the scope of kupo being /extremely/ public, and having to think through command structure and utilization is /extremely/ rare in most jobs.
Discord bots as it turns out are fascinating examples of a weird cross for programmers, particularly ones like me whom are backend developers, where our backend code /is/ the frontend code, so things we rely on the frontend hiding isn't doable.
Ohhhhh
I'm not into that level yet
I prefer dealing with user testing and quality control testing
(For real though, there is a test bot and discord I do most of the testing in, or in one of my test discords)
Fair enough
Kupo's a little too big for the "I'll just push it to prod" meme.

But yeah
I'm interested in taking this job
But my qualifications still a bit lacking
IMO, be up front about any lacking skills and go from there.
Especially building physical servers
It's unlikely to be physically assembling.
I really want that Square Enix job
It's more likely to be OS loading and setup in terms of "building"
Rarely is any large enterprise going to make you physically build servers if you're doing IAAC.
But I don't know if my study for Bachelor of IT (Advance Networking) is viable
You'll never know until you apply.
There's also a non-zero chance that there's other, side positions they may not list you could work at in a junior role, etc.
Yeah this job is actually a lot more stable + it's always constantly open
So I was looking at the other jobs, anything art related for the studio is all contract base
But somehow IT related stuff is Permanent
Ye, I meant more as a junior sysad.
That's normal.
Not all companies will advertize a junior sysad role, but if someone comes in higher than they are, and the company feels they might be a good fit, they'll occassionaly open up.
In the end, the only thing it costs is some time (and pride from time to time), to apply and find out where you are.
I'm just more curious what does this job entails
Server building and maintenance is one thing
But I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into
Yup, you never know until you tried
Ohhh
CCNA Data Centre is a good place to start

!hank
hmmm
dang
i feel kinda migraine-ish tonight since getting back home lol
and my screenbar light thing came so I decided to try it

I've got the smoker going, so the entire house smells of mesquite atm.
has nvidia ever changed the design of NCP rofl
as far as I can recall NCP has never changed its look even in the mid 2000s
no
i remember being very impressed with amd adrenalin because of exactly that lmao
you buy an amd card and you use adrenalin for everything except rgb
then you go get any nvidia card and you hvae to put up with nvidia's ancient control panel and some janky engrish app that wants admin permissions
amd andrenalin is good
they have ass in their name what did you expect /s
and the weird names they come up with for every single thing

yeah
I want a peerless assassin but they are out of stock. Is there any decent alternative in this list: https://hotgear.vn/collections/tan-nhiet-khi?sort_by=price-ascending&page=1
it looks like a snake baring its fangs
it's en eagle
waiot is it not?
yeah their name is based on Horus the Ancient-Egyptian god, who's got the head of a falcon
isn't this it?
I see a Peerless Assassin but it’s SE
it has three fewer fins than the PA120
I asked the shop. It ran out. By the time I assemble my PC, I may need an alternative

I’m seeing PA120s out of stock because Tech Jesus gave it high praise
Yeah why isn't it just the top part. It looks like a hawk with like a double chin or holding out a tiny fist to me, but I assume its supposed to be an open mouth?
i don't think there's a single actually american diy pc parts brand
I mean
corsair, crucial, patriot are close
PNY
them too
Sabrent is ostensibly HQ'd in Cali
but mostly that stuff is made in china
they actually make most of their shit in new jersey
and in corsair's case
i think the american company is basically a marketing/sales shell
i'm not sure they have americans working for them doing EE or CS stuff
most of them are either Taiwan or China yeah
though they at least hire someone that can write english really well to write the documentation and the UI labels
PCB manufacturing is expensive, I know the biden administration is trying to change that and provide better capabilities in the states
it is, but I'm not talking about that
a lot of those companies straight up outsource all of their engineering
ALL of it
every last ounce
Be Quiet! is German, Noctua is Austrian, Fractal is Swedish, Thermal Grizzly is German
that’s all I remember from Europe
the only way you'll get computer parts that were designed by Joe in Texas or Alex in California is by buying from apple/(maybe hp/dell)
this in itself isn't a guarantee those brands aren't also shell companies
true

like my dygma keyboard - that company is from spain
turns out
they have an office of social media marketers and like 3 people who manage the product
though technically I think most of AMD's radeon technology still comes out of Canada
the old ATI building in markham ontario
and one dude that goes to china and has 99.999% of the keyboard engineered and built
the one they sell for $350
for $350 they could probably make most of it in europe but no why do that
(it's why I fucking hate kickstarter projects)
to be fair, if you're trying to kickstart a project for a $100 part and it's going to compete with $50 stuff, i get it
but when they decide that budget isn't a concern
why do they still do it -_-

Why yes, I do collect ewaste
!hank
If they work I wouldn't call them ewaste at all >>
but even so -shrug- they are like art pieces
a lot of old hardware can be seen that way
Even if they didn't work, they're history, and something to be preserved in some quantity imo.
yea
And I /severely/ dislike macs.
But they're a fascenating part of the history of consumer PC design, particularly in the era they were released in.
like there's a similar faction of people who nearly fetishize old IBM hardware
not that long ago I ran into a dude on reddit that avidly collects compaq presarios
like they loved the design of the ones with the rocket ship shape
I suppose calling it that is a bit of a stretch lol
There's one old machine I want to own more than any other, and I might build a replica some day, just for personal joy, which is a cray-1.
Yeye.
there's something lovable about a supercomputer you can sit on
-chuckle-
i wonder if anyone ever got laid on one of those
I wonder if I can find eng diagrams for one somewhere.
I bet you could mount a bunch of half-depth servers in there no problem.
the wiring in the middle is insane lol
i mean you could fit full size rack servers inside the seat part anyway lol
Yeah, but that's not classy.
ofc
you could put some interesting hardware in the base and then have the tower made into a cooling system
which I think is the opposite of how it actually worked?
Yeah, like a massive passive cooler
And correct, the base was the cooler.
So, the seat height is 19", the columns are surprisingly small, only 56" diamater.
I'll just build some custom rigs or something to make it fit.
why so many cables
Interconnects were all point to point back then.
There weren't the super fancy busses or bus-style architectures we have now.
A memory stick on your computer technicaly has 288 wires per stick. :D
Oooooh.
That could be fun.
Install like 70-80 mitx rigs and build my own supercomputer with custom wiring harness...
lol
What?
i think it's a cool idea
Some days, I just gotta be a turbo nerd.
Be like my friend who has a 340 ish rpi cluster
Had to help him set up the power to it
Shit was fucked
TURBO
No need.
I can just band all the PC's on my roof rack into a cluster if I need that much power.
I am considering a 6 compute module setup tho.
I used LED drivers inside a breaker box
I found the most ADORABLE mitx board.
And those to a custom rpi header
wait does every pi have a switch?!
no lol
that would've been amazing
Tbh, they needed to just put poe on the raspi.
or at least an electronic switch box
And not use a hat.
they never did?
It's an external hat that hijacks some of the lines.
tbh that makes too much sense
the raspberry pi has always been almost awesome but fundamentally flawed
sometimes the flaws give it character
I use clones or my own dev board lmfao
like I have a retroflag gpi I felt compelled to buy for some reason a couple christmases ago
it
Loved their products, but when they went "lol, consumers can figure it the fuck out, we're going to support buisnesses" they lost any chance of me doing business w/ them.
it's like the 2021 equivalent of a game gear
it's huge, heavy, and eats batteries like a sumo wrestler eats ramen
the little pi zero w performs well enough to run n64 games
but it's the most uncomfortable portable gaming device i've ever used, aside from a regular gameboy, which makes sense because its' basically a regular gameboy
then you have something like the zelda game & watch, which is a lovely emulator package, but it has 4mb of flash and it's a royal pain in the butt to mod them
it's small, it's lightweight, the controls are surprisingly comfortable, and the screen is detailed enough that i like playing on it despite it being small
one thing I'd like to see that I haven't seen yet
ya know those arcade1up cabinets
it'd be cool if they were able to offer them with the modern adaptions of the games that atari and whoever kicks out for things like pac man and galaga and tetris
(without all the 'please be a whale and give us tons of money' mobile monetization)
there's a modern galaga on apple arcade that is really cool in terms of music/art
I love my MiSTer for that sort of stuff.
hmmm
do i want a macbook air or a macbook pro >>
i still like that 16" framework laptop but I want one of these arm processors for myself lol
It's so beautiful, it doesn't need floating point.
It makes my heart float.
I suppose that was at the height of the Futurism craze right?
Kinda like Disney's Tomorrowland
it's a computer you can sit on
well, more accurately, it was a computer made to be sat on
you can sit on most computers 
I suppose it makes efficient use of space bc then you don't need other chairs
IIRC futurism was more 50-60's, this was mid-70's.
It's also cray.
Dude was wild with all his designs..
the idea was to have it setup in the lobby or something i think
i wonder how many people ever actually got to sit on one
Haha
This demands installing wooden paneling and a rivetted red leather armchair in the corner
And some shag carpet /s
a little bit of ford-on-ford violence
!hank

CUTE
Trans hair
i didn't notice. i like the colors
i wanna know why the y pointed a monitor at the wall lol
Made a custom desk for the wife and I!
comment:
This is fancy. Out of curiosity, do you guys often use it concurrently? I only ask because I think my husband and I would kill each other using the same 8 feet of desk space.
this seems convenient
@real edge dont suppose ypu remember why u recommended the gigabyte m27q?
Vs the m27qp?
with decent contrast, decent motion performance, good colors
the M27QP is the better refresh of the M27Q
Ah
if you have a chance of getting the QP at a tiny price increase you should
the Q X is the elite version so to say
Alright. Colors etc shpuld be the same right
makes everything better but has a bigger premium
Im thinkin about a second monitor
Think of the M27QP as everything the M27Q is but slightly better in everything
if its 10$-20$ more or whatever it may be worth the uplift
tho the Q X is the one I would recommend for extended heavy use
but its usually like 100-150$ more so whether its worth it to you varies

i need a new dash cam
I assume they swivel it around for work or when they want to focus on a game without distractions
is there a point of locking a game at 60 FPS? 🤔
You save performance because the human eye can only perceive 60 fps

Also, stability
For example if you uncap frames and it yoyos, i'd settle for 60 over a yoyo-ing 80
physics
let's say my FPS is 100 in FF14, with reshade it is 70. Now I lock FPS at 60, will the performance get affected when reshade is on?
FFXIV’s physics break at 60+FPS
like there’s a hurricane where a gentle breeze should be and tits are made of cement
hey im the doctor here
it is better to uncap FPS for other games?
depends
am a master. bow down to me, you servants!
is the physics tied to fps
i think i can tell between 60 and 144
or rather 60 and higher
30 is a defo
like.. i cant go back to 30
if im watchin someone play, i can tolerate
but if I'm playing
Red Alert 2 at 10 FPS :3
even 60 is dependent on the game
a 20 minute mission took me a hour 😄
I only ever reach 30-60 FPS with the current PC
get an upgrade
my bro has like 1.4tb of garbage in his photos library on icloud
and apple being apple
if you tell photos to download the entire library
it'll do so at a snails pace that makes the USPS look ambitious
in fact after sitting there 20 minutes the "downloading 6840 photos" hadn't incremented in count at all
I think they do it on purpose to keep you subscribed forever
https://i.imgur.com/0h1Dz7A.png lol this is a mouse? I thought it is a spaceship
reason #298315 I will never use icloud again
shit, they’re still making those?
also calling a mouse Mad Cat with R.A.T is kinda funny XD
also if you select too many things on the icloud website it'll tell you that's too much to download
this is bullshit
should I replace my stock AIO fans ?
If you like wasting money
LMAO cmon
i mean...
it's not like there is a lot to gain from a 13900K
also it isn't throttling
That fan isn’t playing lol
see if a fan spins backwards that means it'll run cooler
try the same with capitalism
Catpilism
something to show you
!hank
couple of besties
BOGOF
double 
just stop being poor
???
boi, i'd gain nothing from upgrading lol
not yet atleast
this is why I dont invest in the AMD ecosystem

Won't need a pc on a ship anyway sailor

i'll get one of the framework 16 laptops 
so i can upgrade the gpu
he'll be busy reading hentai like the rest of the guys in the navy
reading hentai? 😭 that's lame
should've joined the army
not a chance 
Do y’all agree with the Linus tier list
yes
The one, only and infamous NVIDIA Flow FX spoof video that NVIDIA made to honour their enthusiast customers who had to put up with the excessively noisy fan blower than the NV30 based GeForce FX 5800 shipped with.
Dan Vivoli and Tony Tamasi are still at NVIDIA after all this time.
Tony Tamassi, ex 3dfx marketing hosted the developers panel at ...
nvidia even made fun of themselves for the FX 5800
the leaf blower LOL
