these things

are pretty awesome

the network tech gave me some

WTF

THATS EXPLICIT?? LOL

wait

check how is that explicit

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA

mods plz

the bot is against me

yeah

oh

thats what I sent

LOL

[sly elk]

That sounds like a lot of wood for a deck

Especially the plywood

Are you building a shed?

[kindred brook]

lemme see if I cut it in 2

[sly elk]

Ohh OK lol

[kindred brook]

oh clyde

blocked the bottom half

interesting

[sly elk]

Lol

[kindred brook]

guys

I don't understand

how does this work

how does a 20ah

become a 11ah

just by changing the v?

[deep sapphire]

Because batteries are rated at 3.3v

Using 5v decreases the capacity by said value

[kindred brook]

is it sort of like when you use

an electric car

to tow something

[deep sapphire]

I dunno I’m not an EV expert

[kindred brook]

and the range significantly decreases

[deep sapphire]

But it adds significant load to the motor

It’s no different than a normal engine, more weight means the engine has to operate in a higher RPM band and no overdrive

[kindred brook]

ah ok

[sly elk]

I think you're looking at a powr bank right?

[kindred brook]

yerah

[sly elk]

Their reasoning feels a little sus alhough watts = volts x current

[sly elk]

And they are correct that converting from one voltage to another incurs a loss

But there is no way to take a 3.6v 11000mAh battery and get 5v 20000mAh out of it

Now if you said that you were using a 3.6v 20000mAh battery and able to supply 11000mAh at 5v I'd be more likely to believe it

[deep sapphire]

Oh I read that backwards then

[deep sapphire]

This is what I assumed LOL

maybe they made a mistake

[sly elk]

Right their way of saying it sounds backwards

I spent a while reading about power banks and ended up getting a 35 dollar belkin one lol

And I'm still not thrilled with it because it only outputs 15w total

But that's good enough for the use case I wanted it for

In other news water is water

[lost python]

you know, nvidia always kinda made some neat new technologies for their cards only, which then got adopted and refined by the masses for everyone. like physx, grassworks, hairworks, upscaling, etc and the same is kinda happening with raytracing too now. and its neat because it kinda pushes certain aspects of video game graphics forward.
after RT i really hope nvidia will do something to make extremely accurate sound. like have sound realistically bounce around various rooms and surfaces and have it be realistically dampened by various objects. just so that the rest of the industry finally gives it the attention it needs.

because god damn does the immersion und experience change if you have actually proper sound that also behaves like you would expect it to in different environments

[austere socket]

I guess that would be a natural extension of light raytracing, yeah

I've always wanted to hear proper sound simulation in games

it's a little more difficult to market because there's no visual element to it, but there's not much else they can innovate on with computer rendering at this point

[deep sapphire]

The CSB determined that nvidia is fuckin with their customers causing massive casualties

the video starts off with seat memory, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks .. these are all things that GM and other companies have been making for decades now and.. they are usually reliable

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/gachi-gachimuchi-kazuya-super-kazuya-danny-lee-gif-22011418

[sly elk]

like the only time you run into unreliable is like "the 1st model year of the 3rd gen of that car has weird windows"

or something

[deep sapphire]

I didnt watch it but I think I've seen that before

is it full of water

[sly elk]

then we have the electronic parking brake - these have been around forever, lane keep assist, park assist, etc

hmm?

[deep sapphire]

the reddit post

[sly elk]

nah this one is

this one's some luddite whining about features in a new truck

i assume after they took that video

[deep sapphire]

oh LOL

[sly elk]

they hopped into their 1985 toyota t100

[deep sapphire]

they're seriously mad it has buttons

he should see the GM turn stock

an infamous shitshow of why does it have so much shit on it

[sly elk]

last week I took an uber home from the car rental place and the lady that picked me up was driving a ford fiesta

k

it had power nothing

first time I've seen crank windows in a looong time

actually, I'm surprised uber allows that o_O

[deep sapphire]

https://www.amazon.com/Turn-Signal-Multi-Function-Switch-Trailblazer/dp/B07P2Y1WHM

[sly elk]

like she was driving the car they told me to expect, for sure

ford also hasn't sold fiestas in a little while

yea in a 2023 i doubt you have to worry about power windows

the thing you have to worry about is like

clock springs

and I doubt even that now

i'm sure they cheaped out in some places to afford the fancy interior

also some of those things....

a push button gear selector could potentially be much more reliable than a mechanical lever one

especially when you need to have stuff like the brake pedal interlock

and the ignition interlock, and the thing that keeps you from slamming it from drive into reverse at 30mph

(ok that one's just electronic even if you have a shift lever - it'll wait until you slow down to like 3mph and slam it into reverse and scare the crap out of you)

[deep sapphire]

didnt older GMs tell you to press brake to shift out of gear but put the wording on the actual brake peddle

[sly elk]

LOL

idk

my favorite shifter really is the one mercedes used to use (and chrysler borrowed for all the 5 speeds that used their transmission)

why? because it has no button

[deep sapphire]

the dial?

[sly elk]

no

i'm looking for a pic

[deep sapphire]

best gear selector

[sly elk]

you'll have to settle for the mercedes style shifter in an older 300

i like those >>

[deep sapphire]

oh, yeah those were pretty common in japanese make too

[sly elk]

but mechanically they are annoying because eventually the brake interlock breaks since it's made out of plastic ><

because of course it is

but the evil shifter that replaced it was awful

[deep sapphire]

only fitting, chrysler were the reason it was mandated by the government anyway

[sly elk]

like

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

the dial is way better >>

fite me

[deep sapphire]

no arent you like 6'6

[sly elk]

the dial aint great, but it's better than the hot trash the bad shifter was

rofl no i'm only 6'

[deep sapphire]

that ford rental I had

[sly elk]

nyah fuck this shifter

[deep sapphire]

the column shifter felt like a plastic sponge

[sly elk]

what happened was i think audi was the first to use it on the zf8

[deep sapphire]

didnt that thing kill someone

[sly elk]

and somebody in chrysler's design studio was like

[deep sapphire]

that star trek actor

[sly elk]

OMG LETS COPY AUDI

yes it did

but ya see, audi paired it with an electronic parking brake

chrysler didn't

every car that used that shifter has a manual foot actuated parking brake

[deep sapphire]

I hate those

[sly elk]

tell me about it

[deep sapphire]

mine broke on my truck and its a pita to put it back on

[sly elk]

my favorite is a hand brake

[deep sapphire]

same

[sly elk]

i will pass a foot brake over an electronic brake though

after having one in the cadillac. I mean, it's nice not having to push in the foot brake because that sucks

but ehhh

somehow you're driving and your electronics die

what do you do now?!

gotta hope you can find something to chock the wheels so it doesn't roll away

i'm really not sure how we got to a point where everyone decided not having a handbrake was ok

[royal forge]

is there a reason why the CAT 7 cable seems to be much slimmer vs others?

[deep sapphire]

tbf wire gauge is only an american standard

i legit cant tell if my internet speed is improving with ethernet

i bought a CAT 5 cable

[deep sapphire]

and its also stupid as fuck

[royal forge]

but it cant fit under my stupid door

[deep sapphire]

why would they make it smaller as the number goes up

AMERICA STOP MAKING CONFUSING SHIT

have some 1 AWG

Buffett also explained why he thinks Apple has such a strong brand loyalty from its users, saying that people wouldn’t give up their iPhone even for $10,000.

“If you’re an Apple user and somebody offers you $10,000, but the only proviso is they’ll take away your iPhone and you’ll never be able to buy another, you’re not going to take it. If they tell you if you buy another Ford car, they’ll give you $10,000 not to do that, you’ll take the $10,000 and you’ll buy a Chevy instead.

[sly elk]

He drives Cadillacs

I'm pretty sure if you told him he could never buy a GM again he wouldn't take the 10k

[deep sapphire]

he has fine tastes

[sly elk]

he's like real life cotton hill i guess XD

boy what are you doing with mah cadillac car?!>

i got a laugh out of the sites that made noise about him driving such a 'modest' car though

idk it's not a rolls royce but it's not a rav4

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufk1snW4VcM

[sly elk]

as for $10k to not ever use another iphone

[deep sapphire]

even has the hat on

[sly elk]

would you really turn down $10k?

i mean, there's plenty of stuff i wouldn't do for $10k

but $10k to dump iphones forever? idk

i'd have to think about it, but I wouldn't 100% say no

i will say, the gold xs I have, even with that stupid intel modem, damn fine piece of electronic equipment, man

i don't think the new ones are as nice >> the ugly camera box always gets me hahaha

[deep sapphire]

I love iPhones because they just work

[sly elk]

they're like a lexus

but idk I feel like saying they just work is a bit of a stretch sometimes :]

i guess i'd go with

it's like why americans go to egypt or whatever

and eat mcdonalds

some americans that do that are dumb and just eat american food everywhere they go, I get it

but i think most will try the local foods and be adventurous and stuff

and then finally like on the 5th day they're tired and fed up and they just want something they are familiar with, so off to macas they go

that's how I see iphones lol

[deep sapphire]

the older I get, the more I embrace technology that doesnt piss me off

thats iPhone

[sly elk]

that's.. exactly why i'm questioning the logic lmao

[deep sapphire]

every android phone I owned always had something extremely annoying about it

and yes that is biased

and that is my personal experience

[sly elk]

maybe i've just reached this stage of using computers that I can find fault with anything :\

but yes, I can say that I've been pissed off at my iphone before

to be fair, if I bought a brand new one right now I probably wouldn't run into some of the things that my xs lag bombs on

[sly elk]

but this is character!

for example i put my fold 4 on the table and it wobbles like a mofo

come to think of it, so does my xs >>

but the way it's setup it doesn't wobble quite as much

there's also this quirk

https://tenor.com/view/tensura-slime-bunny-shame-anime-gif-22521003

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/throw-out-rage-parks-and-rec-nick-offerman-ron-swanson-gif-17688925

[sly elk]

and no that quirk deosn't actually bug me that much

there's a more annoying design quirk than that

[deep sapphire]

did they ever fix the hinge issue

sand getting in it

[sly elk]

so, to list the flaws:

1. It doesn't sit flat in the ideal place to wirelessly charge it.
2. the gap when you close it
3. there's a plastic trim piece around the edge of the screen that, on the top and bottom of the phone, is not quite flat. It actually angles up a tiny bit towards the hinge, where there's a gap because ya know, hinge..
4. There's also these plastic trim bits that come out when the phone is open to keep you from breaking the middle of the screen, you can't really see it but you can feel it if you run your finger down the edge and it's weird
5. also, there are bumpers on the edges

(also for the cost, the cameras are trash)

(but I will give samsung a pass for this because they don't try to cover it up)_

when you turn on the selfie camera you can see how grainy it is indoors, but they didn't try to amp the noise reduction algorithm up to 11, ya know?

[deep sapphire]

do you feel like you got good value out of it

[sly elk]

hmmm

yes, but...

i got a good deal through google fi, $800. I would neeeeveerrrr spend the $1800 msrp. never. that's insane.

but as a gadgety fun phone? yea sure I enjoy messing with it.

i even had a few 'i'm glad i got this' moments, which .. is odd. but uh, nothing like my new camera hahah

been like a week and I'm still surprised how much I'm enjoying it!

[deep sapphire]

I once owned a Nokia N900

I understand gimmick phones are kinda cool sometimes

[sly elk]

yep

[deep sapphire]

I loved how it had a full linux terminal

[sly elk]

the other thing I came to for making that decision at the time was

[deep sapphire]

maemo 5 was a cool OS

[sly elk]

i don't really need a top of the line phone cam

and i don't really play games on my phone, but if I did I'd like the ability to run whatever (android yay!) lol 😄

and i don't really live off my phone so battery life is nice but not a huge deal

i can live with my xs' shortcomings for now

the n900 was like the ultimate nerd phone back in the day

older smartphones were fun but spooky too

my htc g2 was so unreliable that I remember having a dream or two where I needed to call 911 but my phone was glitching

but that n900 had a physical keyboard and those are amazing for running emulators

[deep sapphire]

N900 has a cool piece of trivia to it as well

[sly elk]

yea?

[deep sapphire]

it was the first phone to get angry birds

[sly elk]

HEHE

I remember when that was the benchmark

like when the whole hp touchpad fire sale fiasco happened

and there were various other random 'i tossed android on this thing' "oh yea? can it run angry birds?"

did it have a place to hold a stylus?

aha

it's like the mark of the zorro for any truly enthusiast phone

they either come with a stylus or they support drawing on the screen somehow 😉

i am liking that green a lot

oh that's interesting

the model 3 is getting a refresh that apparently does away with the duck bill

[royal forge]

Ok ya nerds

I see some articles talkin about how flat CAT 7 cables are worse vs normal ones

How much bullshit is that

[potent arrow]

Don't get flat cables

Well rephrase, I don't get flat cables because all my stuff are poe

Also if the run is long

Don't do it either

Cuz I'm pretty sure they arnt twisted pair, so you will have crosstalk memes

I need to get a new monitor

144hz / 1440p

Suggestions if anyone has one currently?

that gigabyte that one dude is always talking about

or was it msi i forgot

M270Q X or M270 Q P

[solid panther]

hmm

[sly elk]

i forgot which one is better but @real edge is a big fan of it

[real edge]

M27Q-X

[solid panther]

Oh I can go up to like a grand AUD

its been a while since I upgraded my monitor

[real edge]

hm

[solid panther]

Maybe like 4 years?

5?

[real edge]

how much is the alienware AW2321DWF

in AUS

[sly elk]

there is no aw2321

[real edge]

whatever the numbers are

ultrawide oled

[sly elk]

27"?

oh that

i think it's aw3423

AW3423DW

that's somehow 2 grand in aus 😮

[solid panther]

Yeah jesus calm down

gorgeous monitor tho

not sure I need 34 inch tho

[sly elk]

i'm sure you can get a 144hz 34" for <$1k aus even

[real edge]

its 1k$ so I thought it hm, exchange rates

lol

[solid panther]

yeah lmao, I dont need insane high end

I can probably jump to like 1200 or 1400 at most

I dont want to wreck my account too much

[real edge]

ok so do you want an ultrawide or a normal display

1440p or 4k?

[solid panther]

1440p / 144hz

don't need ultrawide

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/brilliant-i-like-this-top-gear-jeremy-clarkson-richard-hammond-gif-18951630

[solid panther]

Oh that

Alienware one is OLED

and I have an OLED TV so I know how gorgeous it is.... fuuuuck

Ok maybe I could... splurge up to 2k.

maybe

[sly elk]

fuuuuuck

[solid panther]

maybe

I'll put it on the list at least

[real edge]

if you do get an OLED

just make ABSOLUTELY SURE to take the necessary precautions

screensavers, remove static elements from your windows desktop

[solid panther]

I already have an OLED

I know the procedures

Oh huh

shit

so I might be able to get the AW3423DW for like

1200 AUD

[real edge]

as for normal displays, cannot go wrong with the gigabyte M27Q-X

[solid panther]

thats about 800 USD

I'm talking to another friend who works in an electronics store. HE can get it for 1200. Not supposed to sell it on to other people but like

who gives a fuck

I could totally do that

[paper tusk]

https://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-g34wqca-34-ultrawide-144hz-1ms-freesync-hdr400-curved-gaming-monitor-ac50345 ?

[real edge]

nah

if you want a cheaper ultrawide

for gaming

get an LG IPS ultrawide

they are good

and a step down from OLED pricing

[solid panther]

I'll slap an LG onto the list if I cant get this AW

but if I can get the AW I'll just go that route

I'll need to upgrade my graphics card later this year too, which is why I didnt wanna push the budget too far

[real edge]

34GP83A-B

is the ultrawide

[royal forge]

Its the only one that fits under my door

[real edge]

as for lower budget

the gigabyte costs 400-450$

classic 27 inch 240hz 1440p display

whatever you choose will look amazing so take your time and think about how much you want to push your budget

gigabyte = 400 USD
lg ultrawide = 700 USD-ish
OLED Ultrawide = 1000 USD-ish

[solid panther]

I got the uh

LG C2 for my TV

So I'm kind of hooked on how good OLED looks

[real edge]

you can use that TV as a monitor btw

[solid panther]

You want me to use a 55 inch TV as my monitor?

are you ok?

[real edge]

nah

there is a 42 inch

that ppl sometimes use

500 inches on my desk

like 2 feet from my face

not 500

500 inches would be uh

Im tryin to see if there is someway to improve my own Wifi connection

Is there any ?paired device? that i can plug into a router so I essentially get a dedicated wifi connection?

[inland mauve]

the best way to improve your wifi connection right now is to move to Wifi 6

get 802.11ax

because it has a bunch of new technologies to improve the stability of connections

and it is not widely adopted yet so there won't be as much interference

[potent arrow]

I mean a much simpler option tbh is nuking an isp router in it's entirety

Or if you can do that, disable the wifi on the router and throw a TPlink omada AP onto of it

Cuz in general ISP routers suck Doo Doo horsehit

[royal forge]

Cant touch the routers. Belongs to isp and landlady gets pissy

So i can only improve router to pc

Modem then to my own router/net infra

Have a few hundred just sitting around now

Lmfao

Doesn't that hurt the retailer more than nvidia

Nvidia already cashed the check

[modest moss]

it's only double what it should actually cost

[buoyant falcon]

I have a smart TV. When I first got it I connected my PS5 with one of the faster HDMI ports. But I decided that I wanted to go ahead and plug my PC into it for a bit and swapped it with one of the other HDMI ports. But even though I swapped them, every time I switch the TV over to the PS5's old HDMI, it automatically turns on the PS5 and switches over to the new HDMI that it's on.

Any idea why it's doing this?

[inland mauve]

I think that at this point they're just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks

[austere socket]

I just looked these up, that's some insane technology

gotta be absolutely worth it tho

[deep sapphire]

were you thinking of putting your hot dog into one?

like the demos of course!

[modest moss]

my TV was doing this

I had to go into the HDMI settings on the TV and disable one of the HDMI link settings

you can apparently do it from the PS5 too

[real edge]

flat is justice

[torpid kayak]

hm

is 50-60W idle okay for GPU to have?

[void dove]

depends on the gpu

doesn't sound bad thou

also really depends on what you are doing with it

if you have multiple monitors, idle power will be higher

[torpid kayak]

I check around and see people ranting 7900 xt has consumption power problem when idle. Other GPU of Nvidia and AMD draws like 10-15W at best during idle at native resolution and max refresh rate. Me is eating 30-40W with the same setting. And eat 10W more with HDR enabled 🤔

[void dove]

yes, but what do YOU classify as idle

[torpid kayak]

web surfing or office work? 🤔

[void dove]

thats not idle, thats in use

[torpid kayak]

hm ok

[void dove]

50w, is more than fine in those circumstances

web browsers, use your GPU

especially for videos

but also for just rendering webpages

[real edge]

ye

[torpid kayak]

I see

[real edge]

ofc it won't go jack full load at 300w or sth

[void dove]

and i wouldn't be surprised if office apps do as well

[real edge]

but expect a little bit of use and some power usage

but not much

for example

when I watch a video or play gbf I see like what

1-10% use

depends on video resolution or how taxing gbf wants to be

[torpid kayak]

😄

[real edge]

nvidia shadowplay also uses gpu

(or relive in your case)

but again it will not be much

just some watts above idle

[void dove]

also depends on the power profile you have applied to your GPU

[torpid kayak]

hm it is high performance 🤔

Theres actually a window for Android tablets that sprung up in the last few years

Specifically cheaper intro level art/drawing tablets

The main problem is android UI and apps are all designed around phone sized screen resolution

So the shortcuts and functionality is limited, but at least hardware is fine

Used to be androids were cheap shit tablets with no middle ground and a scarce high end lineup

[dull garnet]

i wouldn't have bought a samsung if there was anything else half decent at the time. definitely would have grabbed a xiaomi pad 5 instead if it was available

for like half the price

with 80% of the features

only bought it for manga reading

but i was looking into getting a tablet for drawing with a screen (i have an old huion drawing tablet but definitely having no visuals is a worse experience) and having chatted with a few artists, a surprising number are using the samsung s6+ tab (?) which is like $250 and includes the drawing pen

which is way more affordable than the starter level apple equivalent

hm for some reason, I cannot make GPU fan curve drop to zero RPM in light load. 23% is the lowest I can reach. It always spin at 450-500 at the lowest. Is this normal?

[void dove]

depends, does the GPU actually support zero fan speed?

not all GPUs do

so setting zero speed wont shut the fan off, fans have a minimum fan speed they need to maintain be able to keep spinning efficiently.

the card has to be capable of shutting the fans off entirely, if it isn't built to do that, then you're shit outta luck

you May be able to hack it in with a VBIOS flash, but you risk bricking the card entirely, and id assume, its not a high end card with 2 VBIOS chips, otherwise, it would have a silent mode

Mmmm. Vbios hell

My ADHD brain loves busy pictures like this

[cerulean talon]

I could see that

[wraith agate]

Also

Me and my mom had an argument yesterday

The PC I want could potentially cost nearly $3000, and she thinks that price is not grounded

She still thinks $1000 PCs are the high end

[cerulean talon]

I could send the bill for my desktop if you'd like her to faint

[wraith agate]

That could work

[cerulean talon]

It's only like 16k rn

So reasonable

[real edge]

she is correct when she says that 3000$ is not grounded if its for personal use, you can make a high-end PC for around 1000-1300$

It all depends on your use case

[wraith agate]

Heh

[cerulean talon]

Disagree, you can blow that entire budget on a GPU and it not be enough

[wraith agate]

Well as a game dev, I kinda need the extra horse power

[real edge]

you can get a 6950xt for like 600$

in the US

a 5800X3D for like 300$

[cerulean talon]

A 6950xt does t have enough vram to boot my system properly in graphical mode

High end is high end

[real edge]

and you got a decently high end gaming PC

[wraith agate]

I am thinking about a 4090, if I can get one

[cerulean talon]

6950xt was never a high end card
