[clever citrus]

the 3060 is 406

[real edge]

https://youtu.be/jGORmB6GoH8?t=891

well its just a tier list

[real edge]

those prices are oof

hm

is buying used available?

[wraith agate]

I guess anything below 1400 EUR is game

[clever citrus]

yeh but to much people here used them for mining

[wraith agate]

I don't want to buy something super cheap

[clever citrus]

i dont know much how to check un pretty new to gpu dont know much thats why i asked

[wraith agate]

I also don't want to deal with import fees

[clever citrus]

u from germany u guys dont have import fees like 2 %

if we buy somthing like 200 we have to pay import fess 300 xD

[real edge]

import fees?

hungary is in the EU

no import fees

[real edge]

6900xt? 6950xt? 6800xt?

[clever citrus]

u guys in un eu dont have to pay

[clever citrus]

saw a 6800 fro 600

ASRock Radeon RX 6800 Phantom Gaming D 16G OC, 16GB GDDR6 640

[wraith agate]

I'm not from germany

[clever citrus]

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, 16GB GDDR6 719euro base model

[wraith agate]

But yes

[clever citrus]

mb then

[wraith agate]

We don't have to deal with import fees

As long as it is coming from within the EU

[clever citrus]

only germany has no import fees outside eu then have agreements with other countrys

[wraith agate]

Mine has an import fee of I think around 22%

[clever citrus]

aiint much like 40 50 euro more i mean yeh when u go above

[wraith agate]

22% of 1000 EUR is 220

That means if I get a GPU for 1k eur from china, I'll have to pay 1220 eur

Which is almost the same as one of these EU cards, plus I'd have to wait a month for it to arrive

[real edge]

ok that is not that bad

in retrospective

[clever citrus]

dont have much xd

[wraith agate]

I guess I'm gonna get something from amazon

Yes it is expensive

But it contains everything

[odd sand]

Only 5400rpm but for archiving that's a crazy good price https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/109661585093459968/1100809841506799756/image.png

[real edge]

hmmmm

[wraith agate]

These are within budget and look good enough

[real edge]

gigabyte eagle?

[wraith agate]

Still a 100 EUR cheaper than the cheapest off brand card from my local retailer

Huh

[real edge]

I wouldn't buy anything for those prices tbh

ohh

oops

wrong ping

[real edge]

^

[wraith agate]

Also me thinks if the gpu are so much cheaper, then perhaps the other components are much cheaper too

[real edge]

do you have a 6650xt/6600xt?

available?

what prices

[clever citrus]

48

380

[wraith agate]

The ones I shared so far

[clever citrus]

4idc much

I just cant decide

[wraith agate]

Gigabyte eagle OC on local retailer's site is 1500€

[clever citrus]

6750xt or a 6700xt

[real edge]

both are very similar

[wraith agate]

Well almost, 1487€

[dull garnet]

how are 7900 XT vs 4080

[clever citrus]

What wpuld u get

Is it worth

To spend a little more for that 6750xt

[real edge]

at those prices I wouldn't get either

[clever citrus]

Yeh but currently i have a 1050ti

Usles

35 fps

[dull garnet]

perfect for fortnite on low

[clever citrus]

I dont play

Fornite

[dull garnet]

i do

[clever citrus]

Good game

Still

[real edge]

hmm

[clever citrus]

Prices aside ?

[dull garnet]

if you mean ff14, may i ask what cpu you have?

and settings

gf plays on a 1050 ti okay with her 5600x

[clever citrus]

3600

[real edge]

6950xt tbh, but the 6750xt is not worth the price hike I feel like

[dull garnet]

oof

[clever citrus]

Will upgrade later

[dull garnet]

get a 5800x3d for ff

pondering between same desk height with foot rest, and lower desk so that my feet can touch the ground

[potent arrow]

Desk thats the right height so you do not lift your shoulders up and cause long term ergonomic problems and foot rest

Aka what I do because I am a small asian lady

[torpid kayak]

well Vietnamese all use 75cm tall desk as standard here. My seat height is 55cm to accommodate such desk, and my feet touches ground with only toes and certain have to use a foot rest

which is just a plank

[potent arrow]

thats what I do

and I am vietnamese

coicidence? I think not

[torpid kayak]

AtlasOS, a modified version of Windows 10, is being discussed on YouTube. AtlasOS is described as a "transparent and streamlined modification of Windows".

AtlasOS is designed for gamers. To improve Windows they have removed Windows Defender, Restore Points, and Security Updates

what

[inland mauve]

that is streamlining Windows in the same way that you can streamline your network by removing your firewall

is this just a huge scam pushed by internet criminals?

to get kids to install a shitty OS that has zero security?

[dull garnet]

probably

[sharp star]

just for the 10 extra frames in Fortnite

[sly elk]

of all the things to remove from windows

removing stuff like teams, onedrive, telemetry, any other bing crap

cortana

why not remove the actual bullshit microsoft tries to stuff in your computer?

windows defender is one of the rare MS 'value added' products I actually like

[late basalt]

Life will find a way to rudely interject with boomies

[minor hollow]

this is a darwin award asking to happen

[late basalt]

That’s Sarah working on anything electrical or mechanical

[minor hollow]

windows defender isnt even a resource hog anymore

compare that shit to macafee or norton or whatever

they really just trying to get people to run with no protection

[lost python]

lol

[minor hollow]

Holy shit

A witch hunter Robin pfp

That takes me back

Talk about handlebar hairstyles

[modern iris]

I've heard windows defender paired with like mbam free is good virus solution, that coupled with virus total and common sense practices should be all one needs right? My sub to mbam ends this month and money is really tight

[minor hollow]

Windows defender plus common sense practices is already pretty solid tbh

[modern iris]

Back in the day it wasn't as viable option though right?

[minor hollow]

Really just being careful what websites you visit and programs you install is like 75% of your protection

[modern iris]

Ye I use ublock origin plus mbam browser guard too

I do all that on top of paid anti virus,but damn shits so expensive

[late basalt]

imo paid AV is... unnecessary

if you dont do stupid shit recklessly, you dont need it

hell, i havent had anything other than the baked in shit windows has for almost 8 years no

[graceful pine]

I just defender with free malwarebytes

But yeah an os removing defender that must be being pushed by some hacker or another

[dull garnet]

it was

[minor hollow]

Its been good enough +common sense for a while tbh

[late basalt]

tbh i wish it was more obvious for people to take steps to disable forced automatic updates

because not only can they break things, but can also happen at the worst times possible

[dull garnet]

until like 2016 i was using win 7 sp1

no updates

no av

The size difference between a modern Chevy truck and a 1980s S10 is…gigantic.

[sly elk]

i don't think that 1980s S10 is at factory ride height?

but yes, i argue this all the damn time

huh maybe it is factory height

I do know the 90s s10 also sat really low compared to a modern truck

this baja s10 seems to sit a bit higher

even a 90s s10 parked by a last gen colorado is a comical difference

and compared to a silverado, that last gen colorado sits low

all I can say is I think this trend of higher and higher and more macho is fucking stupid and needs to stop

i'd make a joke about needing a ladder to get into the bed but

these stupid things aren't even fit for use

but that makes sense. ya know what is fit for use?

a real work van, not some cosplay truck

that said, i've never driven a pickup truck... new or old.. so I can't really comment on how fun they are to drive

[cerulean talon]

They kinda suck to drive if the city isn't built for them.

[graceful pine]

I don’t see that many pickups around here

But we don’t have much of the industry that would actually make big use of them

[cerulean talon]

My car got smacked by one yesterday, so I'm aware there's too many here still. 😄

[sly elk]

yep, my old car got totaled by one as well x_X

[kindred brook]

My friend is doing a new build

Does he need more than 16gb for rendering

Or save and upgrade his gpu

[sly elk]

o7 steamdeck

[cerulean talon]

Rendering what? Most rendering happens on GPU's now, so as long as his projects don't exceed ram too badly, the GPU will make it render faster.

[minor hollow]

Very few people actually use more than 16gb

[sly elk]

i wonder how many people have more vram than they do ram

[odd sand]

Privacy from security updates

Oh woops, was seeing that AtlasOS thing from earlier

[cerulean talon]

Edge would like a word with every last byte of ram you have available.

Not that Pycharm or Webstorm are particularly light (Thanks Java.)

Realistically, systems will use way more RAM these days than it seems due to disk caching, so more ram is usually better to some reasonable extent, even if it's all just in transparent caching for gaming/video/image editing/etc.

[torpid kayak]

it looks like some sort of plant monsters 😄

[minor hollow]

so worth tho

i have monitor arms for my work desk and my gaming pc

so much desktop real estate saved

[minor hollow]

i know edge is better now but i'm still never gonna use it

[cerulean talon]

It's edge or chrome, and they're about the same level of evil now in my eyes.

Firefox is just a bit too unstable w/ how I use it.

[torpid kayak]

I guess I will get one. They are sold like US$15 in my place

this stupid LG 27GL850-B has a stupidly huge stand

[minor hollow]

my parents visited me, my dad used my work pc to check in to his flight and he was like "i want this setup at home" for his triple monitor setup

and my mom was like "you don't need this because you just fall asleep in front of the computer"

[torpid kayak]

get this and fall asleep 😛

[minor hollow]

dude if i had the space i would legit get a predator thronos

not even joking

[torpid kayak]

[minor hollow]

i asked my dentist how much the chair was

the answer is very expensive

what a shame

i fall asleep every time

[torpid kayak]

obviously

unless you steal a used dentist chair and mod it

[minor hollow]

i mean i just want one of those chairs

the ergonomics are unreal

the problem is apparently even a basic dentist chair is like 20k

once they throw on all the attachments for the dental work it jumps up to like 70k+

[torpid kayak]

it is only $14k for your thonos!

[minor hollow]

lets be real thronos has worse ergo

for gaming, sure

for sleeping, gotta go with dental chair

whats up

[zinc sluice]

is there a way to implement soft "floating/shaking" effect easily or do i have to keyframe position like every 5 frames

[potent arrow]

uh floating/shaking?

I do all of my effects in AE not premiere

just edit it as a composition and use that if possible otherwise you can create a preset and apply it to each clip

[zinc sluice]

yeah i just did it manually with position

pain but whatever

Buttons are so much better

can we just accept that sometimes the old way is, in fact, the best way

[wide hill]

maybe that is why they are making it

I'm just looking at that weird shifter paddle thing under the steering wheel

like

why

who the fuck sat there and said "this is a design that people will like"

[hard drift]

Convenient

[umbral moss]

are they a fucking space alien that never drove a car before?

[hard drift]

Touch screen is not

[umbral moss]

the fuck it is

look at it, it's like a paddle for an AC vent

Lol

[umbral moss]

how is that more convenient than a big shifter

[deep sapphire]

Looks like a fuckin electric razor

[sly elk]

yea that's the thing i notice every time i see that pic

and for some reason all the news sites reporting it have that same pic

[sly elk]

my other favorite thing about that pic is it shows no buttons anywhere

Is there such a thing as a Ryzen 5600x am4 board that has ddr5 memory slots?

[hard drift]

no

am4 doesn't get ddr5

[modern iris]

That narrows it down then. Ty

Is team group tforce Vulcan z good ram? Or what about gskill?

[hard drift]

gskill is pretty well known, idk much about tforce aside from it works

[modern iris]

Next question,is it worth it upgrade to a 4.0 board for a 6700 xt? Currently using 3.0 with 6600xt

PCIE I mean

[deep sapphire]

If you are going to be buying a new board anyway of course

Gen 4 isn’t even that new tbh

I'm resisting the urge to get some 4k144hz monitors.

It's taking way too much effort.

[sly elk]

i should just go 3x 4k144

[cerulean talon]

I'm thinking about it.

My current 4k's are limited to 30 on HDMI and it makes me cri.

Probally just get the updated predators, I've had good luck w/ em so far.

And I'm only /slightly/ abusive to my hardware.

[sly elk]

just a tad

3x dualups would be interesting

[cerulean talon]

Hey, I clean them once a year.

Get out the nice LCD wipes and everything.

[sly elk]

ahh here we go

triple dualup!

i don't like it

i wonder how they would match for height with a 42" 4k in the middle

oooo

so the 42" lines up nicely with a set of dualups

not perfect but pretty good

that color difference is rough hahaa

[odd sand]

Just take a file to the bottom /s

Are the sides supposed to be white like the center? Because uhh....

[sly elk]

that's what i'm saying XD

lol when i bought my side monitors, one was greenish like that middle one

everyone was like "oh the factory didn't calibrate them! Just calibrate it!"

dude no amount of calibration would fix that

it was like they left a protective sheet on the backlight before sealing the backlight to the screen or something

[odd sand]

I haven't seen color reproduction that bad since my parents 4:3 LCD from like 2004

[sly elk]

one of those?

[wraith agate]

I'd call the retailer or send an email with the pictures, make sure all three monitors are set to white background

[sly elk]

lol in my case i bought mine from dell and sent them a pic and complained and they sent a new one

nbd

new one was perfect

LOL

[umbral moss]

tftcentral gave the new 32" predator good marks

apparently it has the lowest input lag of the LCD panels they tested

only OLED units have faster times and that's because the pixel response time is just faster

personally, I kind of want to try that asus 1440/360 monitor even though it's $1100

[golden stream]

Can go CRT, what is input lag
Joke aside, CRT is HEAVY AF

[umbral moss]

I mean, CRTs were just made before post-processing became a thing

if you had a CRT TV produced today with the same amount of post-processing an LCD produces, it too would be incredibly slow regardless of the pixel switching speed

[cerulean talon]

I'd go 28", but tbh, I just need it to be fast enough not to tear

[hard drift]

what about ghosting/inverse ghosting though 😭

[cerulean talon]

I have old man eyes with massive astigmatism :p

[hard drift]

it's pain when you're able to see it 😭

[cerulean talon]

I'm something like -7.5/-2.5/17 with 170 in my other eye

I'd take not needing 200-300$ lenses off-market tbh. It's expensive to see

[odd sand]

Something like that, yeah heh. Thinner bezel though. Like 3/4" all the way around. Still 1024x768 though I think.

[odd sand]

They don't do anything but email and skype/zoom and stuff, so there's been no reason to replace it 🤷‍♀️

[dull garnet]

HD CRT need to process low resolution signals and upscale them which introduces latency

[umbral moss]

isn't tearing a function of a mismatch in refresh rate and actual framerate?

[cerulean talon]

And a lack of gsync because I'm on HDMI 1.4 ;.;

Or whatever the pre 2.x HDMI is, and it's garbo.

The clear answer is to upgrade to a 4090 /and/ new monitors. nods

This will solve all my problems, right? RIGHT?

[umbral moss]

🤔

I have g-sync on my XB270 lmao

2016 tech 💪

also, I'm pretty sure akko shipped my switches via human mule

10 days to go from dongguang to NY

But get this. A shipping manifest spotted by VideoCardz also shows an ROG Ally with another unannounced name: the Ryzen 7 7840U, a 3.3GHz chip with Radeon 780M graphics that’s suspected to be all but identical to that Z1 Extreme.

where are the wholesaler people in this server at? what's the tray pricing on these things?

And unfortunately, I'm KVM'ing my center and right monitors on HDMI, so I lost gsync. 😦

[umbral moss]

HDMI 1.4 can't do frame recovery operations because the extra bit data you'd use with DP is wasted on HDCP shit

based DRM schemes, thanks sony

[cerulean talon]

Oh, is that why?

[umbral moss]

yeah

[cerulean talon]

That's fucking stupid.

[umbral moss]

you lose 8 bits of bandwidth per clock because of the HDCP header on every packet

DP doesn't use DRM so you can use that extra space for the frame recovery info

[umbral moss]

it's what you get when you take the DVI spec and make the connector worse, then expect it to do a bunch of things it wasn't designed to do

I genuinely hate HDMI and I want to see the spec get thrown into the sun

along with all its creators and sponsors

give me SDI-18G 😌

[odd sand]

I had an early Samsung HD TV that was CRT 720p/1080i but some logic board died on it after only like 3-4 years and of course the replacement price was like $800...

So at that point LCD 1080p just came out, so I got a Sharp Aquos 32"

[sharp star]

wonder when we should expect another video on the exploding Zen 4 CPUs

[umbral moss]

I'm a big fan of AMD trying to sweep it under the rug"

"uh, yeah, seems the issue was users manually overclocking and not at all our automatic voltage adjustment system"

[sharp star]

If mine explodes I'm going to buy a 13700K

[umbral moss]

I member the "watercooling" OC profile on my board setting the vcore to fucking 1.8V

like, why

[sharp star]

y tho

[umbral moss]

yeah, exactly

1.8V hasn't been a safe vcore since like, fucking K6-2 lmao

[odd sand]

My friend wants to OC his 7800X3D, so I'm going to laugh super hard if he ignores the issues talked about atm and melts his.

damn should I sell

my 12700k

for this bundle

wtf

its so cheap

[deep sapphire]

and why would you do that

its cheap because it sucks

[real edge]

the 7700x is a good cpu and the ram speed looks right

but

[dull garnet]

AMD

:D

[real edge]

I would look at the motherboard

[deep sapphire]

AMD? in my chat?

I only buy CPUs from companies that lost 140 percent Year over year growth

[umbral moss]

it looks like you can't OC the 7X3D parts at all

[real edge]

if the motherboard is good go for it

but if the motherboard is shit nope

[deep sapphire]

no dont go for it, he has a 12700K

its not even a year old

[umbral moss]

if you touch the voltages on the chip it destroys it

[deep sapphire]

just keep your processor

[real edge]

ohh'

12700k

[deep sapphire]

you wont see any benefit

[real edge]

then nope

[dull garnet]

overclocking hasn't been a thing for years

its all about undervolting now

[umbral moss]

AMD seems to have accidentally configured their dumb auto-boost thing to also adjust vcore because the non-x3d parts can handle it

[deep sapphire]

I kinda wanna go to microcenter

[umbral moss]

which is why the x3d parts self-destruct without the bios update

the board doesn't know it can't adjust vcore using the auto-boost thing so it just vaporizes the chips instead

[dull garnet]

you'd have to be a dumb idiot not to update your microcode for the new cpu

[deep sapphire]

when you build a new PC to play the latest star wars game and the game runs like shit and 10 minutes later your processor explodes

console gaming really was the better option

[umbral moss]

these are AM5 boards with shipping/new bioses...

like, they literally fixed this two days ago

[dull garnet]

in conclusion, amd

[deep sapphire]

AMD tried to throw board vendors under the bus

[umbral moss]

yeah

blaming MSI for bad voltage management or some shit lmao

[deep sapphire]

but lets be real they wanted to look much better than they were

[umbral moss]

except it's all boards and the issue is the way AMD implemented auto voltage

[dull garnet]

zen 3 my beloved...

[dull garnet]

did you get a 13900K?

[deep sapphire]

13700K

[dull garnet]

hank...

😔

[umbral moss]

this is pretty typical though, new socket/chipset and a shitload of "oh shit our engineers didn't see that" bugs

member when intel added DDR5 support and the boards would also shit themselves

My friend bought this bundle and told him to return it

[deep sapphire]

if I can go 7 years without a new CPU

you guys can go 1

[kindred brook]

sorry hank I told him to return that

and get the amd bundle

for 20 bucks mnore

[deep sapphire]

wow

WOW

[kindred brook]

yeah

[real edge]

you will see little to no difference

ok the 7700x with ddr5 will be faster

[deep sapphire]

what does your friend have now

[real edge]

but not enough to warrant the income

[kindred brook]

he has a 3770k

[deep sapphire]

oh

[umbral moss]

ye, same

[deep sapphire]

OH JESUS

OH LAWD

[kindred brook]

he bought that 12700k

[deep sapphire]

HOLY POOP

[kindred brook]

and I was like

alright just return that

he didn't open it yet

[deep sapphire]

I mean

[umbral moss]

I have a 6850k, it's almost time to say goodbye to this board

[kindred brook]

and geet the 7700x

[deep sapphire]

either would've been fine

but okay

[kindred brook]

the bundle was 450 last week

[deep sapphire]

oh

[real edge]

for 20 bucks more the amd bundle is worth more tbh

[deep sapphire]

thats a decent savings

https://tenor.com/view/training-day-denzel-washington-chess-checkers-alonzo-harris-gif-4684398

[real edge]

ddr5 and 7700x combo is faster,

[deep sapphire]

intel vs amd

[real edge]

but either one is fine

[zealous wolf]

too many amd & intel CPUs to choose from though..

but for a B450F, you have 4 gens to choose from..

[deep sapphire]

either avenue will net you good performance

[kindred brook]

thats what I was thinking

I was like holy moly just return the 12700k and get the amd bundle

[deep sapphire]

uuuuuuh AMD bros?

[kindred brook]

you get 16gb more memory

32GB

ddr5

[deep sapphire]

uuuuuuh AMD?????

[kindred brook]

OOF

is he going toe xperience that?

[deep sapphire]

yes

should've stayed intel

but you dont listen

[real edge]

no

[zealous wolf]

the 1 advantage that amd still has is 1 board can support multiple gens of cpu's..

[real edge]

upgraded from a 2700x to a 5800x3d

in one board

[kindred brook]

HANK IM STILL ON INTEL

[real edge]

if I did not break it

[deep sapphire]

okay good

[deep sapphire]

we wont have to worry about having to flash our bios every 3 minutes because our CPUs can explode

we just turn our PCs on

and it works

[kindred brook]

lol

[deep sapphire]

[umbral moss]

I distinctly remember the first gen DDR5 intel boards being dogshit too

and intel hasn't made a true enthusiast level CPU in like 15 years

[deep sapphire]

d-delet this

thats because

they dont charge you 1000 dollars to have an unlocked multiplier

[umbral moss]

intel hasn't had any engineering direction since sandy bridge lmao

gelsinger is the first engineering CEO in 20 years

[deep sapphire]

thats nonsense

bob swan was the only non engineering CEO intel has had in recent memory

[umbral moss]

intel's product stack is so enshittified by the finance dickhead who was running the place

[deep sapphire]

and bob swan is an idiot

intel is doing just fine

and we need them to be

domestic production is important

[umbral moss]

intel is struggling because they have to come up with new uarch without changing x86 and they also need to regain fab advantage

[deep sapphire]

this has been debunked how many times now?

[umbral moss]

they think ribbon fet will solve their issues but like, they also bet big on UV multi-patterning

[deep sapphire]

im gonna go do something else cya

[zealous wolf]

having to shell out a new intel cpu+board for said socket each new gen has always been a fat L..

esp for those who cant afford it..

[umbral moss]

lightly modified so you can't have forward compatibility

LGA1156-1/-2/-3

[zealous wolf]

and this board is running a ryzen 5 1600, and ive got my eyes on slapping a 5600/x onto it one day

[odd sand]

Why run potat when you can run yam?

[umbral moss]

why do either when you can make vodka

[zealous wolf]

cause cant afford upgrade yet..

[odd sand]

My hopes and prayers are with your wallet.

Only $180 USD, shouldn't be too long to save up, yeah?

Put $20 a week aside

[potent arrow]

Rob a bank.

[zealous wolf]

that can be done, ive saved up for this 6600 gpu in the past

[odd sand]

Pleasure a guy named Rob for bank.

[umbral moss]

this is a winning strategy

but you have to do it a certain way

like investing 50 million shares and then shorting your own position and tanking the value of the bank with a public call for a bank run

most forms of stealing are legal if you do it with financial instruments instead of a gun 😌

[zealous wolf]

[dull garnet]

the first version has a small bios chip so I think they dropped zen 1 support... but they're shite anyway

[odd sand]

USA USA USA

[cerulean talon]

Gen 1 ryzens were amazing chips when they came out.

Consumer-grade chips with AES-NI? Glorious.

Then again, we can say that about most every major processor release in the last decade. 😄

[deep sapphire]

no they werent

they got destroyed in single threaded workloads and had terrible CCX latency

they literally sucked at everything they did, the only good thing it did was force intel to get off 4 cores

like if you bought an 1800X, not even 2 months later you could've gotten an 8700K

intel's 1 percent lows are faster than ryzen in general

🤣

[cerulean talon]

Damn, didn't realize they were /that/ bad off tbh.

I was using more of the weird processor extensions, so I was delighted to not need to buy xeons. 😛

[real edge]

tbh

ryzen was good at sparking competition and giving us actual cores

but 1st gen was just experimental

ryzen only became good beyond zen 2

[deep sapphire]

yeah

zen 2 was an actual good chip for the time

z1 and 1+ were not good

[real edge]

indeed

it feels like we are reaching the ceiling on CPUs already tbh

Beyond stacked cache I am not sure where else we can go

it feels like bothj companies just minmax their stuff now

[deep sapphire]

I do hope that things trend upward but it still feels like we are approaching the limit

feels like we are approaching another 4 core era soon with stagnation in tech because things are minmaxed already

[deep sapphire]

eh, maybe performance cores will stagnate a little but they can still perfect big/little architecture

[real edge]

I think the next step is to introduce something tech wise beyond just better cores or technology gpu-wise, something like direct storage for example, I think new tech along those lines is the next step

not tiny nm and increasing costs

[cerulean talon]

But increasing profits is good!

Yeet bloated x86 for something semi reasonable

[real edge]

you mean combine gpu and cpu into one?

[cerulean talon]

I hate the m1, but I need auctually power most of the time, and that's not a m1 specific limitation

Nah, gpgpu is cuda and whatever amds cuda competition is, moving compute off the CPU and into highly parallel envs

like a single superchip responsible for everything?

thats what GPGPU is

x86 is just 32 bit stuff no

[cerulean talon]

x86 is often used to refer to x86_64 AKA AMD64.

[umbral moss]

x86-64 is x86 with 8 more registers

[cerulean talon]

SHHHH.

We're in denial about that.

me looking at the tracking info for my switches

[cerulean talon]

Accurate.

[umbral moss]

I have almost 500 switches in transit

[inland mauve]

that's a big network you're building

[umbral moss]

keyboard switches

[inland mauve]

[umbral moss]

I don't know which ones I want to use and I didn't want to find out I liked a set only for them to be out of stock for the next two years

it's aight though, I have to get the keyboard frames before I can put it all together

making a keyboard for my girlfriend for her school computer, plus an upgrade for my g710+

[inland mauve]

tbh I wouldn't overthink it

imo the basics are red and blue switches

[umbral moss]

for her they have to be quiet-adjacent, so she'll probably want linears

[inland mauve]

red switches for quick response hotkeys, blue switches for nice and comfortable typing

[umbral moss]

but I don't know if I want linears or tactiles so I got one set of each in the spring strength I wanted to try

[inland mauve]

or be a freak like me and use a red switch keyboard for everything from gaming to typing

[umbral moss]

I'm probably going to have to turbo-pad her keyboard so it doesn't make noise when she's typing

I use browns for everything right now

although with how hard I smash the keys a linear with a stiff spring would serve the same function and I wouldn't be wearing the stem down

reds are too soft, I think

I bought a bunch of purple framed akkos with the intent of building out a purple-themed keyboard with my indigo ceramic keys

for her she just wants "it works" so I'll probably get a set of hyperx pbts and whichever switches are the quietest

[cerulean talon]

The secret is that you end up using a mix of switches in order to truely enjoy your hardware. nods

[umbral moss]

the nail that sticks up gets the hammer

[cerulean talon]

P.much.

I keep around pre-lubed lynx and panda knockoffs, and depending on the mood I'm in that day, a bad switch gets swapped with whatever I feel like.

[umbral moss]

I know you can hyper optimize your XXXTREME GAMEN performance with special switches in WSAD or whatever but the truth is that I'm not that skilled to be able to compress These Switches differently from Those Switches

[cerulean talon]

The only keys safe are WASD, C, V, and ctrl.

[umbral moss]

they're all getting mashed down to the plate

[cerulean talon]

Everything else is mood dependant.

[umbral moss]

I don't think these akkos came lubed but it's not a big deal to test one out and see how annoying it sounds

it's like $35 to get a yuge fixture to dismantle and lube them yourself, and I'm a lazy sumbitch so I might just dunk the springs instead of delicately painting them lmao

[cerulean talon]

But yeah, my fingers fall so hard, I'd have to get some of those stupid resistant springs to not bottom out every switch on every tap.

[umbral moss]

yeah

it's money better spent on o-rings and keycap pads

so you don't WHUMP every key

[cerulean talon]

But WUMPUS requires WHUMPING.

Tbh, using noise-cancelling over the ears means I lost half the noise anyway, so they all sound pretty similar.

[umbral moss]

the specific noise of a mechanical keyboard is like, anti-ASMR to my girlfriend

so I need to make it as quiet as possible

[cerulean talon]

My roomie wants the old hard clacky IBM board.

[umbral moss]

I was thinking about replacing the silicone pad that keychron sends with the V6 with an equivalent thickness piece of cork

cork is the shit, it's so good at sound dampening

[cerulean talon]

The amount of background noise in this house kills keyboard sounds anyway.

[potent arrow]

@umbral moss lol did you get the akko lavenders? Because those are what I rec to everyone

Also I don't lube springs individually either

[umbral moss]

I got lavender, purple, demon, and, uh...starfish?

[potent arrow]

I throw them all into a bag with silicone lube and shake it vigorsly

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/impress-based-american-psycho-very-based-impressive-very-based-gif-21665669

[potent arrow]

I uh have a lot of them, they are in my none "main boards"

Because the switches I really prefer are way too expensive to outfit all my boards with

[umbral moss]

the demon switches looked interesting but I worry the spring is too light

[potent arrow]

I recommend filming and lubing

[umbral moss]

film is the anti-crash thing that goes around the base of the switch, right?

it's not an actual film

[potent arrow]

Uh like the piece of plastic between the top and bottom housing

[cerulean talon]

Wait, what's your main switch?

[potent arrow]

I use durock switch film

Neapolitans

[umbral moss]

who makes those?

[cerulean talon]

Huh, neat looking mix.

[umbral moss]

I saw tecsee ice grapes and those looked cool but they seem kinda expensive for what they do

[cerulean talon]

I almost want to try more meme switches, but I'm too lazy to rebuild switches properly. 😄

[potent arrow]

its hard to see but that clear plastic there is the film

https://www.deskhero.ca/products/neapolitan-ice-cream-switch

The Neapolitan switch was crafted with our Cannonkey's custom bottom housing mold to mimic the feel of a Zyko switch - a popular Frankenstein switch made from a Zealio v2 bottom, panda top, and halo stem.

[umbral moss]

that seems a little too esoteric for my fingers to be able to detect

[potent arrow]

I like the feel and the sound of it lol

[umbral moss]

that's like handing me a glass of wine and being like "you have to taste the earthy notes in this"

[potent arrow]

Its defintely a huge feel difference for me

Its legit for me atleast, the difference between boxed wine and bottled wine

[umbral moss]

I'm also one of those people where trying to sell me on the Super Crisp Soundstage where you're like "the glass-like breakover at 8800Hz is spectacular" does nothing

I can't tell the difference between a $10,000 speaker and a $500 speaker

[cerulean talon]

So you're saying you're /not/ into audiophile grade NVMe's?

[potent arrow]

bro lol

[umbral moss]

I don't believe monocrystalline oxygen free zero-phase copper does anything for your sound quality, no

[cerulean talon]

It only helps it's on the 3rd new moon.

That's why it's so hard to detect.

[cerulean talon]

Would you prefer the audiophile network switch instead?

[umbral moss]

my favorite audiophile snake oil was the fucking rocks that they were selling to hold up your signal cables

[cerulean talon]

Or the network isolation cable designed to smooth out spikes in your network signals?

[umbral moss]

because touching the ground introduced some kind of hum from agartha or whatever

lmao

[potent arrow]

I wish I had a photo of my frienmd's headphone cables

[cerulean talon]

Those people need to be smacked over the head and given a tour of some really poor place so they can learn maybe to donate some of that money to Red Cross instead of chasing incomprehensible gains in their audio quality

Yea I wanted an epic rig at work for one of our servers

[modest moss]

it was cheap

[sly elk]

One IT dude was like

You can’t be serious

The other thought it was cool lol

[modest moss]

Impala you don't count, you're one of the least normal users possible

[cerulean talon]

WHAT? THIS IS SLANDER!

[modest moss]

[cerulean talon]

I'm a perfectly normal user.

[modest moss]

yeah just a typical gamer running fortnite on medium settings at 1080p

[cerulean talon]

Exactly, I just run 300 forenites at once at 1080p.

Gotta win some how right?

[modest moss]

even I can get wins on fortnite

[cerulean talon]

I've never won a BR in my life.

[modest moss]

if you suck bad enough you get mostly bots lol

have you played enough

[cerulean talon]

Probally not.

I'm more of an arena-style shooter player.

I've got probally 20-30 hours on BR's.

[modest moss]

it took me quite a while for a solo BR

but honestly the most satisfying wins are the family squad wins, with my wife, daughter, son

[cerulean talon]

I could see that, but that means I need friends.

[modest moss]

haven't done that in a while actually, should get the squad back together

[cerulean talon]

And that's /way/ too much work.

[modest moss]

yeah that's legit understandable

[cerulean talon]

Also, could you imagine me with kids?

My house is dangerous to adults, much less children.

[modest moss]

just adopt Sarah

[cerulean talon]

[real bone]

never ever ever update your phone as soon as there is an update, they dont make sure their updates are fully functional

[finite frost]

welp. too late on that

[real bone]

can grab a recent nokia for like 30$ it will only do phonecalls and text but its better than refurbished.
Refurbished Apple and Samsung are like 70% of the original price but anything can happen at any time since their repairs only fix the basics to work the rest they cover by selling you a 2-3 year insurance

ok im off have a long flight ahead

[sly elk]

the blue hair girl's staring at the camera the whole time is funny lol

[deep sapphire]

gas guzzlin 6.4

[sly elk]

i wouldn't be shocked if they got better gas mileage because of the torque

[deep sapphire]

can tell you right now

I rented a ram 2500

I got 11 MPG combined lol

[sly elk]

i drive my jeep 100% in town and that's exactly what I get

with the 3.6 v6

[deep sapphire]

11 MPG with a V6

oh my god

get rid of that thing

[sly elk]

from experience, when I had a 300c with the v8 it got about 13-14mpg when driven 100% in town

well the thing is

https://tenor.com/view/uwu-cute-yui-hirasawa-k-on-anime-gif-17848977

I drive so little it just doesn't matter'

i mean I guess it DOES add up

i've driven my jeep 7000 miles in 3.5 years. at 11mpg that would be 636 gallons of gas at idk, $4.50 /gal average? (So about $2863 in gas) If I had a car that got 25mpg doing the same, it would've cost me $1260 in gas instead.

that's a big number but also, in 100% city, the amount of cars that actually get 25mpg

[deep sapphire]

7000 miles in 4 years almost

thats nuts

[paper tusk]

silly monitor question: mystery chinese brand (165hz 1msec latency/will need to use overdrive, 3 year warranty) or msi (even less reliable reviews, curved screen, 75hz 1ms lat 4ms response, no brightness spec, 2 year warranty)

[sly elk]

lol are you looking at the VA msi 34"

[paper tusk]

maybe >.>

[sly elk]

I have one of those!

[paper tusk]

https://www.msi.com/Business-Productivity-Monitor/PRO-MP241CA/Specification

just a llittle lower budget

[sly elk]

ahh ok

i have this specifically https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B61XJ9K1
No idea what to say about that one, lemme take a look

@paper tusk that monitor sells for $109 in the US, an d it looks... pretty much what I'd expect a $100 monitor to look like

[paper tusk]

yeah, cheap

[sly elk]

it has hdmi and displayport and it has a built in power supply so it takes an iec plug instead of having a power brick

oh and it has a cheap stand but it has vesa mounting holes

the internal power supply makes the monitor look a little chunkier

[paper tusk]

I have a 100mm stand so works for me (which i can't do with the chinese mystery machine)

[sly elk]

it looks like it has a similar style of bottom bezel to the 34" msi I have

which is a weird trend i've been seeing lately

on every other monitor i have that has a 'thin' bezel, the bottom bezel is a thin piece of plastic glued on

on those msi's it's actually a fairly thick piece of plastic

[paper tusk]

probably still better than my current hp (main monitor/discord/browser)

[sly elk]

i'm gonna say

I wouldn't buy a curved monitor if it wasn't ultrawide

that one doesn't have much of a curve but I can't see why i'd pay extra in a smaller size

huh it's 1500R, that actually is fairly curved

dang

yea i wouldn't buy it based on the curve and the whole 27" but still 1920x1080 thing

i mean, if you really want that low a pixel density

[paper tusk]

the mystery brand is one of the few with a dci-p3 claim (of course the colour accuracy probably sucks) https://www.amazon.com/KOORUI-FreeSyncTM-Compatible-Ultra-Thin-24E4/dp/B09TTDRXNS

probably a bad idea

[sly elk]

but for the price, the msi looks fine to me in terms of quality and features. At least in a "I need a monitor now and this one's in stock and in my price range"

[paper tusk]

but I was never good at good ideas

[sly elk]

now, if you have time to shop around and wait for a deal don't buy it

yea let's talk about that KOORUI

[paper tusk]

I have 2-3 weeks before I decide

[sly elk]

ok good!

the best case situation is the one where you have the $$ and time

anyway, that koorui is smaller, so 1920x1080 makes more sense, it's not curved, which again makes sense to me at 24" lol

it has an extra port but the standard for those ports is hdmi 1.4 and displayport 1.2, which is old.. but at 1920x1080 it doesn't matter anyway

[paper tusk]

yeah I'm mostly attracted to the option of higher than 75hz for once in my life
