My ass is not responding to any of them

Why does Nividia need to update every second man

Also hello #general-discussion

omg

So I was wondering for a good while now, but does it matter if you either choose express or costum download when updating the nividia drivers? I usually just choose express, but I heard on Reddit (I think) that one option is superior

[neon shell]

@deep sapphire Stop talking to your cat girlfriends. You're the resident Nividia expert

[deep sapphire]

huh

oh

express is fine

only do custom if you dont want geforce experience

[neon shell]

oh

Ok back to catgirl rp now

What the fuck

This thing better wipe my ass if I’m paying $10.5k. Damn

[inland mauve]

what the fuck 10k toilet

what the shit

[sly elk]

why is it so expensive lol

i thought the top of the line kohler was 3500

o_O WTF home depot wants 8625 for a numi 2.0

they were way cheaper than that when the first numi came out. wtf

also why would you buy an eir if you could get a numi 2.0 for less

but it's still too much X_X

[modern iris]

Why do you need to pay more than $200 for a toilet..?

[sly elk]

more than $200 I can understand

more than $1000 starts getting silly though

but one piece toilets tend to start around $200

[sly elk]

and tbh

after buying one once, I never want to deal with a fucking two piece toilet ever again

emphasis added on FUCKING two piece toilet

[modern iris]

Link is safe I swear, it’s Home Depot.

[sly elk]

two of the worst toilet incidents I remember involved a leak between the tank and the bowl

[modern iris]

One piece toilet?

[sly elk]

the worst of all time in our family was a defective handle that got stuck in the open position

and somehow the toilet wasn't quite plugged, but it was enough that a constant stream of water pushed a clog

[modern iris]

RIP your water bill

[sly elk]

nono i woke up to

the sound of rain but inside the house

i realized it was coming from the bathroom and run to open the door and it was a nightmare

and the 'rain inside the house' was water falling from the 2nd floor to the first

[modern iris]

So it’s more RIP your ceiling?

[sly elk]

yep

and the flooring

and having to have a dehydration machine adn blower fans everywhere for like a week

it was a nightmare XD

[modern iris]

The idiots upstairs flooded the bathroom so bad it punched a hole in my ceiling.

They had to redrywall the whole thing

[sly elk]

american standard makes a one piece with a flat top

like the fancy kohler

and it's like $500

[modern iris]

I’ve never seen a one piece toilet.

[sly elk]

https://www.amazon.com/American-Standard-2548A100-020-Elongated-Low-Profile/dp/B08J1BK4MS

hmm more expensive than I remember

still <$1k

here's a cheap one piece

https://www.homedepot.com/p/323288626

here's a really cheap one piece

https://www.homedepot.com/p/317676800

we have one of those and it works well, but I hate the flushing mechanism (those buttons annoy me)

[modern iris]

So no tank?

[zinc sluice]

???

What the fuck am i reading

korean communications commissions charged twitch 500k usd fine because they stopped vod and clip@replays

Twitch is shutting korea off in like 3 days

This is actually a bitch move

LMAO

Its been like half a year since vods been gone

Actually more than a year

[modern iris]

Why do they want to shut Twitch off in Korea?

And why does stopping VoD and Clip replays warrant such a huge fine?

[sly elk]

Ahhhhhhhhh I uhh it’s nice having an iPhone that isn’t slow as fuck

[zinc sluice]

Something something net neutrality something too expensive to run in korea so theyre completely banning koreas geoip

Vods been banned for the same reason for so long

Theyre only now fining them becuase theyre leaving the market

insane

[modern iris]

😦 So what makes stuff more expensive to operate in Korea?

[zinc sluice]

im not an expert myself so im not too sure but i think the entire nation piggybacks off of some other internet provider

So the entire infrastructure is shit at its core? Idk

[modern iris]

But they have a lot of high tech. Why does a country with one of the largest tech companies on Earth need to piggyback for internet?

[sly elk]

that's fucking funny

isn't that like... most of twitch's ... thing

streaming esports

aka korean teenagers getting paid bank to play fps games

[zinc sluice]

im p sure they started off like that and never went back to fix the core issue

yes

its mostly overwatch

And league

but like

still

this is fucking idiotic

[sly elk]

I think that was a small part of why overwatch league fell off lmao

[zinc sluice]

annoying for me bc i cant watch my fav streamer

[sly elk]

let's watch the almost all-korean FLORIDA MAYHEM fight the also almost entirely korean LA valiant

ok that was not the best of examples because I think at least for a while those teams were 50% not korean lol

[zinc sluice]

My moms friends cousin is boston dps.

idk if hes still there

[sly elk]

i think overwatch league is done

[zinc sluice]

Oh yeah

Its like entirely over right

[sly elk]

weird link

https://www.dexerto.com/overwatch/ex-owl-gm-reveals-overwatch-leagues-breaking-point-2534080/

“I think it sucks, from a meme standpoint, that our league was so dominated by Koreans that didn’t speak English very well,” he said.

ya know it's not that this is a problem, by any means

it's just, they were trying to sell it to the US market lol

and also idk

you could blame 2020 covid hell for at least half the problems

it was fun to watch for a while

https://www.theautopian.com/the-nicest-2000s-lincoln-town-cars-now-cost-as-much-as-a-new-bmw-330i/

why am i not surprised lol

also that car being defunct is living proof Ford's exec team has no idea what the fuck they're doing

[zinc sluice]

As i read that article i see this on my tl im not even an ow player nor interested in owl LOL https://vxtwitter.com/attikun_ow2/status/1760659809958068308?s=46&t=dSWcL-dyUwSHXBt7MF0n_g

[pine thistle]

afaik it's this:

"Sending-party-pays policies—in which companies such as Netflix pay mandated prices to have their services delivered the last mile to customers—distort prices in the complex peering and transit services market, resulting in inefficient traffic management," the paper said.

and since companies like twitch and netflix transmit big amounts of data they have to pay huge fees

which is a little silly tbh

[umbral moss]

Covid certainly fucked the league, I got to see the last event before in person events were canceled in Manhattan

There wasn't another in person event until what, fucking 2022?

Also, a weird choice to blame kr players when the orgs simply didn't bother to use tendies to cultivate western talent

And the pre and post show ended up being dogwater after they let Monty quit, because they didn't want a meme variety show but didn't have any genuine desk analysts to do a stats or strategy segment

Thry basically did everything they could to drive the concept into the ground and then acted surprised when all the org owners voted to tell them to eat shit

[lost python]

well then, oneplus started annoying the fuck out of me with constant notifications about their stupid watches and keyboards in their stupid shop that is never in stock anyway.

how did charging money for API calls work out for them

[dire viper]

If you can get physical access to a Tesla, a Tesla does not actually fully delete information that is deleted, you can get access to peoples addresses/saved locations

Also Elon Mode

Which is self driving with no safety at all

I wonder why it’s called Elon mode

[sly elk]

I think the blame rests on blizzard entirely lol

Don’t blame the players blame the game

[umbral moss]

I mean, a fair complaint is that the orgs didn't have any players from the actual locations they represented

It's like Seoul x14

But at the same time the orgs also gave no effort into any farm system that might have given them western players of comparable talent

Fusion uni was the only decent tendies team but anyone on it was basically consigned to AA hell

[sly elk]

Yup

You are more eloquently explaining what I was thinking lol sorry

I do think the players who did owl are amazing players and were fun to watch

Blizz just did what companies always do with no long term planning or trying to cultivate talent lol

It’s funny because in other sports the cultivation does happen

[dire viper]

Pandering to Korea is a way of making a lot of money

Also ngl, doing the OWL and Contenders split was like ass backwards

Cause a lot of Contenders players were at OWL level after a single season, a lot of them just needed the chance to get familiar with being in a team setting

[umbral moss]

I mean, not everyone can be first string on the aaa team

Someone has to be the big fish in the AA pond

[umbral moss]

The thing is that the misuse of tendies wasn't blizzard's decision, the orgs just didn't give a shit for it and didn't leverage it as a way to keep their backbenchers seasoned

Blizzard's big failure regarding tendies was that they never really established a real path to pro, you could Claw your way out of ladder and onto a tendies team, but how do you get from tendies to owl?

If an owner didn't personally want you on a team you were pretty much doomed to sit in AA hell

[dire viper]

true

but also lmao

you have players that were literally better than most tanks in OWL stuck in contenders

[umbral moss]

Yeah

[dire viper]

Coluge

[umbral moss]

Because the orgs didn't care for tendies at all

[dire viper]

bro literally was mopping the floor with OWL main tanks in scrims

[umbral moss]

You could literally dunk on super/Choi single handedly in tendies and nobody would notice

People really wanted super to be the goat but he got so exposed when Choi wasn't keeping him alive anymore in 5v5

[dire viper]

yea 😔

5v5 kinda just sucks

[umbral moss]

Same with jjonak

Jjonak so good (but don't pay attention to anamo giving him God level peel and hard pocketing to pop off on zen)

[dire viper]

johnny g making jjonak look the fraud he is

johnny G is a comp cheater lmao

[umbral moss]

I mean, to be totally honest, I would rather have Kariv from LA valiant on my team than jjonak

Jjonak plays like a 2head because he expects the other support to peel for him

Kariv just quietly puts the team on his back and sleep darts sombras in the 0.4 second destealth window

[dire viper]

Viol2t is always the answer

[umbral moss]

I'd say Kariv is comparable, considering the mixed roster valiant was able to end the winning streaks of shock and titans

Season 3 valiant was so underrated

[dire viper]

yea but Viol2t is funny when he flames

[sly elk]

great players have great support backing them XD

fuckin finally

[odd sand]

That someone finally made a comprehensive head to head review of both of them?

[glossy ravine]

Okay, the HyperX headset I bought a few months back is like 1000x better than the Turtle Beach headset. My one issue with it. No bluetooth.

[umbral moss]

Isn't hyperx actually like, pretty good on the whole?

[dire viper]

they used to not be great

they are just ok now

[umbral moss]

I love my head tracking mobius but the pleather on the cups dry rotted away so I have black dandruff when I use them now

All the money was put into the drivers and the dsp I guess

[deep sapphire]

Disagree they make some of the best gaming headsets you can buy for the money

Had mine for 4 years and still sounds great, nice aluminum construction too

[dire viper]

ya they are fine now

[umbral moss]

I think they got good when Kingston bought them?

[dire viper]

I remember a while ago they werent

I dont buy headsets so

[umbral moss]

I need new cups for my mobius but audeze seems to have moved towards selling the lcd gx for gaming

If I had $800 to blow I would have upgraded

[deep sapphire]

HP owns them actually

[umbral moss]

Did Kingston ever own them or am I just living in a Mandela effect

Omen is dece though, it's not like, the best but if you absolutely had to buy a pre-made it's well within the good value zone

[deep sapphire]

They owned the memory brand

I thought the same thing but the hyperX gaming division is HP

[umbral moss]

Oh

So I'm only slightly stupid 😌

[glossy ravine]

It's my only issue because phones removed the headphone jack and barring connecting my steam deck dock to my phone's charge port, there's no way to connect it.

Not exactly the most elegant of solutions but it technically works.

The HyperX has a detachable microphone. Is there such a thing that could add bluetooth to that Headset or am I SOL

[sly elk]

lol holy shit, frontier wants $90/mo for my internet service now

and 40 minute wait time to talk to someone on the phone lol 😄

[glossy ravine]

Outside of another 200 dollar headset, HyperX doesn't seem to sell a headset with Bluetooth in it.

The reason my Turtle Beach one broke is because my head was too big lmao

[sly elk]

lol upgraded to 1gig for 49.99

but I'm sitting here pondering

... will I even notice the difference lol

ahhh poof they want to send someone out to setup an eero router. eww no thanks. I'll stick with the 500 plan (which is cheaper! yay!)

[odd sand]

That's what I've heard is that as much as you might be able to meme on HP in other areas, their prebuilt gaming PCs are actually acceptable.

At this point, more solid than Alienware

[kindred brook]

will I see any real world performance gains if I move windows to my 990 4tb samsung drive

vs my 2tb 980 samsung drive

[cerulean talon]

Not really, windows doesn't load /that/ often from disk to really benefit from NVMe's IMO.

[sly elk]

i wonder where coconut battery got their battery info from

i also think it's funny af that the iphone 13 is known as the iphone 13 😄

windows 3.1 on an LCD hits different

chat do you guys have headphone recommendation

general gaming, good bass, preferably long enough wire that i can have it routed around my desk and plugged into io

Also need to know which direction im being shot from on shooters

i have beyerdynamics dt 770 80 ohms and i cant find a ear cushion replacement in korea

I was using bose qc35ii before this but i hate that its 2.5mm to 3.5mm 😭

i did get 3.5mm extension for just that so if i really wanted to i could use that idk

Thoughts

thoughts and opinions

[lost python]

not even third party ones from china or something?
because the 770s are pretty good already.
but what is your budget and what you connecting them to, just your mobo? do you want open or closed back? (i assume closed since you mentioned you want decent bass)

[zinc sluice]

closed yes

My friends scream a lot in my ears and im still w my parents for like another year

Maybe i should check alibaba or something lol

[bitter girder]

Check out if the Philips fidelio x3s are available

[zinc sluice]

I only found ones for like 660 and 880 but only 770 doesnt exist for whatever reason

[bitter girder]

They’ve got really nice ear cushions

[lost python]

they are open

[zinc sluice]

open back :(

actually

How are open abcks

i never tried em

my first reaction to switching over to dt770 was that “holy shit why is it flat” when i tried playing valorant lmao

[lost python]

to me they are less claustrophobic than closed, you sweat less below them and the sound in general feels more... open. like the difference between listening in a big studio and a tiny cramped one

also beyer says these guys carry their spare parts in south korea

the 770s shouldnt be flat at all

[zinc sluice]

What the hell

Maybe i should look it up again

[zinc sluice]

Thats what i thought too it was strange but it was like noticeably less “3 dimensional” compared to qc35ii??? For some reason idk

[lost python]

i mean, if you are used to artificially strong bass then i can see why they might sound like that (and bose really suffers from this), but otherwise unless you have some software fuckery going on on your PC like these virtual surround sounds etc, it shouldn't be flat

[zinc sluice]

oh yeah its definitely probably bose bass thing

I read abt it somehwere before

I dont have anything going on w programs aside from realtek and asus rog thing being weird

Used to occassionally blow my eardrums up for some reason

[lost python]

windows also has some stuff that you can enable and many games do too

yeah sounds like asus

[zinc sluice]

like i mean holy shit +200 db i need to take my headphones off type shit

i made my own pc and i wanted to have like clean and easy to use audio driver stuff bur nope

Realtek and asus :(

Im gonna see if my qc is useable

or maybe i just stick to 770

I just have spare budget i can spend so i was thinking where i can spend it

maybe i just buy valorant phantom skins.

[zinc sluice]

Do you prefer open backs? And does the sound leak out that much?

[lost python]

well you can definitely hear more of your environment and people around you can hear what you can hear, if its loud enough

but since that isnt an issue for me, i really prefer open yes
but ideally i would like to get some closed ones in addition someday, because sometimes i just really want to shut out every other kinda noise

[zinc sluice]

thank u

[zinc sluice]

maybe ill get this if i REALLY wanna spend money

[sly elk]

i use 880s lol

[bitter girder]

They’re a nice option

Y'know about 2 years ago I was wishing the tech bros shut up about NFTs and sure enough they did because they switched to AI

[modern iris]

So I saw W11 Home supports 128GB RAM. How do you fit that much on one motherboard and where do you find that much?

[sly elk]

4x32gb sticks

[real edge]

^

[sly elk]

have you never seen xeon setups lol

[modern iris]

Who needs that much is the better question?

[sly elk]

those can take a tb of ram sometimes

honestly, it depends on what you're doing, and how good it is at being cached in ram

[modern iris]

The workstation W11 supports like… 6TB?

[sly elk]

hmm does that mean the non-workstation versions only support 128gb?

that... sounds kinda asinine

in gpu terms

32gb at this point is like your nvidia 4070 whatever

64gb is the 4080 whatever

128gb is the 4090 whatever equivalent of ram lol

[modern iris]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/memory/memory-limits-for-windows-releases

[sly elk]

ohhh ok

yea I imagine someone who has 128gb+ ram is probably going to have win11 pro anyway

one of the funny things about that is when they did the free upgrade from win7 to win8 I think it was

they downgraded win7 pro keys to win8 home

same with win7 pro keys on windows 10 and 11

so you got downgraded from a 192gb max to a 128gb max haha

[modern iris]

6TB is more like server level RAM, right?

[sly elk]

yeaaa

to be fair, I can't imagine someone caring about having more than 128gb in their personal desktop computer unless they have a very specific reason

[modern iris]

Probably 3D modeling, 4K video rendering, etc

[sly elk]

yep

the sad thing at this point is the upgrade from desktop to workstation is so steep now x_X

[modern iris]

DNA sequencing for science.

You know what’s weird? The phone I’m holding is more powerful than the first Cray supercomputers.

[sly elk]

hell it's pretty funny at this point where you can find surprisingly powerful processors inside just

crap

I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I've heard of full out microcontrollers running linux in the darndest things because they're so cheap these days

i do recall someone installing (I think) linux in the spare space on a hard drive controller before

this is old as hell now lol

http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=1

also with the fancy rgb accessories, many of those have microcontrollers on them lol

yo dawg i herd u like computers so i put a computer in your computer

[velvet flint]

I was forced to upgrade to windows 11 against my will

Can you explain why it sucks to my parents who don’t believe me

[modern iris]

It doesn’t seem that bad to me- why are people so hesitant about W11?

[sly elk]

Honestly if I didn't enjoy building computers and tinkering with them and playing games sometimes

I'd have a Mac studio and just be done with it

Fuck that Microsoft shit

Even then I probably ajoukd just use Linux

[modern iris]

Same. If I wasn’t a PC gamer I would have bought a Mac.

I had a 2017 Macbook Air and it was decent.

[sly elk]

I just bought a new one lol and I love it

Macbook air and a gaming desktop is a great pair

[velvet flint]

How am I supposed to explain….

[golden stream]

I can use linux with ease but can't wrap my head around mac

[velvet flint]

I mean how do I explain to them that it sucks and Microsoft won’t listen

[modern iris]

Well why do you think it sucks, personally? What’s wrong with Windows 11 in your opinion?

[odd sand]

What person would be wanting to run more than 128gb ram and not be using at least Pro? Also until very recently, you couldn't even get more than 128gb on a non-workstation mobo bc modules were only 32gb.

Now they make 48gb DIMMs for DDR5, so you can technically get up to 192gb

That reminds me of toy story 2 , I know why but can't articulate it

[pine thistle]

I hate that they decided to remake the taskbar and throw away features like small icons, also the unnecessary double context menu in the explorer

[sly elk]

That is a big phone lol

[odd sand]

I never used small icons on the taskbar, but I definitely feel you for the double context menu. A solution seeking a problem if there ever was one

[deep sapphire]

welcome to Windows 11

we love to keep losing marketshare

[potent arrow]

I hate windows 11 solely because I have to support it

[sly elk]

i was asking because pro and "pro for workstations" are two different things

and i wasn't sure if the max for pro was 128gb, it's not.. it's 2tb

[odd sand]

Ah, bc of course they are. I assume Pro for Workstations you pay per core or something stupid like that?

[sly elk]

no it's like $350 or something

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-pro-for-workstations/dg7gmgf0kr4m

309

Up to 4 CPUs and 6TB of memory.

lol

[odd sand]

Regular pro is like $100 more than Home I think. I buckled down and paid for it on my system simply bc I didn't want to mess around with hacking around RDP etc. when I would be using the system for running VMs and other homelab and work stuff

[sly elk]

it makes me laugh when people go buy a 4090 and shit and still pirate windows

there's an unwritten law that ham radio owners always build their desk lmao

i think it's part of the license

someone from the fcc comes to your house and verifies you made your desk out of scrap wood

[pine thistle]

the problem was a manager needing a promotion so they decided to abandon the promise for rolling release and go back to major releases

[odd sand]

Ah okay, so not per-core but a similar idea. I wonder at what point does something change from being a workstation to a server bc 4 xeon CPUs is a serious amount of computing in one package

[sly elk]

they also do annual checkups to make sure the plywood desk is still there

[pine thistle]

• probably noticing that major releases give press coverage

[sly elk]

if you replace it with a commercial desk you lose your ham license

[sly walrus]

you don’t know if Big Desk outfitted the storebought desks with radio waves that steal your fingernails

better to diy

[sly elk]

ahh it makes me laugh because this is a like 30+ year old tradition xD

i've been seeing ham radio setups like that as long as I can remember

oof

I haven't signed into reddit in a bit xd but I think it was because I used a program to delete all my old posts

that's ok, the apple subreddits were always useless anyway

iirc twice my posts got deleted from /r/iphone for asking if anyone else was experiencing a particular bug

because you're not allowed to speak critically of apple in any apple subreddit

[odd sand]

How about one of these badboys: https://www.supermicro.com/CDS_Image/uploads/imagecache/600px_wide/intel_motherboard_active/x10qbl-4ct.jpg

[sly elk]

yikes lmao

i see that and immediately think TYAN

[odd sand]

A subreddit being a hyper-bandwagon? Nowai

[sly walrus]

did an ai make this

[odd sand]

And Apple of all fanboy shill groups? nowai

[sly elk]

yea idk what's worse

tesla stans or apple stans

[odd sand]

Nah, that's a board designed specifically for a rack case where the cutout is where the PSU would go

[sly elk]

tbh probably still tesla/spacex/elon stans

because apple stans usually keep to themselves

they are rabid assholes when you poke around macrumors for a bit

but the tesla/spacex/elon stans are EVERYWHERE

[odd sand]

https://www.stealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/SR-1515a_insiderear_large.jpg

and find someone in the comments talking about how spacex did it better, or nasa is doomed to fail and an embarrassment to humanity, or how that EV can't hold a candle to tesla

[sly elk]

-winces at the thought of how loud it will be-

how often do people actually need a 1u rackmount

[sly walrus]

now imagine 20 of them, stacked on top of each other

[odd sand]

Yeah at least the 2u you can get what? 60mm fans?

[sly elk]

gimme a 6u with 140mm fans

[odd sand]

I'm debating for my next PC whether to have a separate homelab server, or simply build out a homelab that can do decent gaming and slap that into a corner and run usb/fiber to my desk

[sly elk]

lmao

it looks kinda comical in a rack

[odd sand]

Too bad we don't have dual CPU motherboards for consumer CPUs anymore

[sly elk]

yeaa

[odd sand]

Of course it does: You're simply shoving a tower case into it horizontally

[sly elk]

i'm not sure anyone actually uses rack pros

[odd sand]

https://tenor.com/view/tight-fit-train-not-fit-gif-12692141

[sly elk]

you normally see this kinda setup when someone wants a lot of mac server thingies

[odd sand]

Beowolf clusters of macminis lol

[sly elk]

they do for sure have their use case lol

like those video editor carts

adn tbh

apple has hyper specialized the mac pro for those people specifically anymore

[odd sand]

I mean, I get it: It's the only time apple has ever produced a SKU that is actually very reasonably priced for the compute it offers

[sly elk]

by aggressively giving anyone else who ever bought/wanted a mac pro the middle finger

[odd sand]

The recent LTT video on that topic was pretty funny and sad

For the same price as the Mac Pro, they made a PC with 50-100% better compute AND you could buy a refurb M2 Max laptop to still scratch your Apple itch

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

[sly elk]

yea

but apple made it abundantly clear they don't want to make mac pros anymore

[odd sand]

Although in their defense: Apparently the last Mac Pro they had was $30k and this one was only $12k or something

Sure, but then simply don't make it anymore?

[sly elk]

also that computer

ignoring the specs for a moment

it looks like a piece of crap

they could use something nicer than that lol

if you're going to spend $10k on a pc build at least use a nice case

[odd sand]

Honestly, if Apple wanted to do something really cool, they would produce "compute nodes" the form-factor of the mac-mini that slotted into some cheese-grater backplate and let you buy them for like 4-8-16 of them or something

[sly elk]

oh well at least linus used a threadripper

if they used a 14900k i would've laughed

[odd sand]

I mean, they're supposed to be workstations, so a 2P xeon would make decent sense

[sly elk]

yup

the old mac pro at least had a xeon and supported like 1tb ram and stuff

the apple silicon one doesn't make sense

apple silicon in general just... eh....

ehhh

ehhhhhhh

iphone soc in a computer

I was kinda ok with them using it in the macbook air but I think the whole SoC package is stupid for desktops

[odd sand]

I can't hate on them for their silicon design bc at least it was something new and different

And the power efficiency is crazy compared to x86

[sly elk]

yea it does really shine with laptops

[odd sand]

I hate the walled garden, but what they're able to squeeze out of it is very impressive from a technical front and has driven others to attempt the same at like Qualcomm and I forget if Nvidia wants to get into it again

[sly elk]

walled garden?

[odd sand]

Never heard that term before? Where they make products that all work with each other but very hard to get them to work with other companies products

MS pioneered the mindset, but Apple took it to the next level in recent years lol

But I need to stop chatting here and get on my bike ride while the weather is still warm

[sly elk]

oh that's what you meant lol

have fun!

[odd sand]

Wish games were more multi-threaded so Xeon could make more sense

But even on the server end of things, I think they're still not great.

Like minecraft server I want to say is only 1-2 threads lol

Think UE might be a bit better

Apparently you can do it, but most on UE are still single threaded for physics etc.

[sly elk]

i need to clean my computers

but i'm too lazy to atm xD

[sly elk]

ahh finally cleaned my watch band thoroughly lol

used a toothbrush 😄

[odd sand]

Woopsies https://www.wired.com/story/apple-vision-pro-crack-in-front-screen/

Also I've heard there are a lot of people buying them to shoot streaming content then returning them within the return window

[inland mauve]

the old classic, buy an expensive electronic item, make content with it, return it, then claim it as a business expense and get the money twice

[sly walrus]

not like there’s much of a use there

got to try one out last week and all they showed me was entertainment stuff

[sly elk]

the tough part about it is, it's possible there are some great industrial and commercial use cases for these

[sly walrus]

sure wish i saw those

[sly elk]

but you have two things that make that difficult

first: getting companies to splurge on these for their development teams in case there might be something

[sly walrus]

he price, and the price

[sly elk]

and second: getting employees willing to wear these for an extended period of time

like in a factory doing assembly or something

#1 is also kind of an issue because, a lot of the time you can optimize your work experience even with a cheap employer by just buying your own shit

but the apple vision pro isn't a peripheral, it's a whole damn computer, and requires cloud hosting and icloud stuff

so that's another set of barriers to cross in corporate-land

first, any company that gives out heavily locked down Dell laptops will never touch these

second, a lot of the ones that would might still object to the icloud requirement

third you can't just use your own personal one because of the whole cloud account thing

[sly walrus]

these are keyed to your face, and calibrated to your eyes specifically

so that’s an issue

[sly elk]

yep

so from a workplace point of view they'd have to burn $3500+ per each user and hope that it works out

[sly walrus]

you can’t just pick up someone else’s headset and use it

[sly elk]

and gets them a return on their investment

but also, a lot of companies will set people up with a 5 year old dell laptop lmao. some are still using hard drives and windows 7

[wild wyvern]

I wonder if an 2tb ssd is enough or i need 3tb

[sharp star]

2TB is enough

[golden stream]

2tb ssd is enough
but is it rly enough
can up w another 2tb ssd

[wild wyvern]

i plan to uhh get an 4tb SSD

[odd sand]

There are for VR headsets in general, but I dunno about $3500 ones. They have like AR repair guides for equipment

[sly elk]

yea that was the other thing i was thinking about

MS did this with hololens years ago and companies did buy those

since ya know, microsoft

and even that effort was a flop

and not for nothing, the microsoft units started out at $3k and went up to $5k during their time. They were priced similarly and the later ones I think were standalone

[odd sand]

https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/partners/splunk-edge-hub-physical-data-sensing-and-monitoring-on-the-edge.html

[sly elk]

and while they weren't quite as fashionable as apple's headset

i'd say they still looked pretty nice

and unlike apple's headset you could see through them

[odd sand]

And then there are things like this which can use machine vision or VR camera inputs to stream data that normally you wouldn't have logging on

https://www.edgehubcentral.com/

Not an entirely new idea to have a 3rd party device that can stream logs from other things including industrial devices but still

[sly elk]

interesting

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

[wild wyvern]

question

is ana 4tb ssd worth it?

[odd sand]

Depends on how much storage you want and how simple the build

4tb is probably more than 2x 2tb ssd

But some motherboards only have one slot.

Or you could get like a 1-2tb ssd and then an 8tb hdd for the same price

If you have room for spinning rust

[wild wyvern]

i have like 1 ssd 1 500gb hdd

[wise jay]

I got a single 4TB m.2 right now and its pretty nice

[odd sand]

For me, I have two 1tb ssds in my system and then an 8tb hdd I swap games to the hdd I'm not playing atm or they don't need the faster speed

[golden stream]

rn I have 2tb main disk (divided to 2 1tb partition, each for linux and w11), 1tb essd for backup stuff, planning get another 2tb ssd for second disk and another with an nvme/ssd box reader

it depends on how many slots on the motherboard, limitation and how much space you need, and purpose

[wild wyvern]

im thinking of sata SSD

[golden stream]

sata ssd imo is ok

hol up lemme pull the abomination

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_px298IF2k

[odd sand]

There is almost no price diff between sata and nvme at this point. The cost of the flash is the sticking point

If you're trying to save money, the lowest end drives are going to be barely faster than a HDD and lack dram cache and be qlc so low write durability

[golden stream]

that reminds me of my olde sata SSD 🤔

I think its health was like wot, not so bad but the speed was eh and the storage was tiny

ok found it

yes it's a cheap ass sata ssd
speed wise, it's only faster than my spinny like 15%

test method: copy-paste the whole FF14 gamefile from essd to both

[odd sand]

Yeah a decent modern hdd gets like 300MB/sec and the 256mb dram cache helps a lot too

[golden stream]

tho booting w10/w11 from that cheap ass ssd is still waaaaayyyy faster than hdd, thanks MS

[odd sand]

Really wish autocorrect would stop changing it to bed lol

[golden stream]

[odd sand]

Speaking of bed... I must torpor for work in the morning

[wild wyvern]

i mean im gonna just get an decent one

[velvet flint]

so due to issues I had to get the laptop reformatted and

I actually have no idea how to restore ffxiv stuff

yes I did backup the data and the "app" but

do I need to do a clean install of ffxiv or

[golden stream]

no

you can just copy paste to the correct location (local setting files), only need to download the client and link the correct .exe file (gamefile)

sauce: me have 3 systems and 3 copies of XIV, which are a deck, a linux and windows, no time to download everytime

[velvet flint]

Uhhhh what does that mean

[golden stream]

literally ctrl + c and ctrl + v

for example: I have xiv gamefile actually float on desktop directory lol while the local setting (HUD, macro, etc) must be in Document directory

thanks for xiv having decade old structure you can backup things and no need to redownload

note: third party launcher, but you can do this in official launcher
after copy the gamefile into the system and downloaded the client, the client should have an option to link the .exe file somewhere in it (like this)

meanwhile, the local save files (aka My Games folder) MUST be in My Document, or Document directory

after that, recommend to run integrity check aka filecheck, seeing if there's any broken file or not

then just launch as usual

[velvet flint]

It’s quite possible I didn’t copy and paste the game file but I’ll check

[golden stream]

the gamefile itself should be around 50-ish GB for FT and 70-80GB for full game

[wraith agate]

I hate these videos

I hate them with a passion

[sharp star]

why did the thought of getting a MacBook Pro cross my mind

[wraith agate]

let me help

[inland mauve]

Dead Youtube Era

[wraith agate]

I like longform essays that actually make sense

But this is sensationalized bollocks

The real threat of AI isn't it going rogue or stuff, it's corporations using it to lay off even more people

Or worse, finding new ways to exploit us

[inland mauve]

AI directly contributes to climate change because of how much power it takes to train models

[wraith agate]

That too

AI IS climate change

Well among other factors but it is a big help

[inland mauve]

at least it's not a complete waste of energy like NFTs were

[wraith agate]

Mostly

But if they keep using AI to generate garbage art then it is

[inland mauve]

but yeah corpos using AI to cut costs even further, causing both huge risks for labour and the demand side of economics, and the unexplored risks of widespread use of AI in corporate processes

I like the axiom that since an AI cannot be held responsible, it shall not be allowed to make decisions

[golden stream]

allow me to make AI creating even more garbage art until it melts down

[wraith agate]

Wish it was like that

[golden stream]

the issue atm: AI even w bell and whistle, still do their work pretty bad
Copilot/Chatgpt still write garbage code which frustrates higher devs/senior devs
AI image gen still hard to get specific details and still wayyyy too much color dodge

[inland mauve]

yeah that's the internal risk to company processes

[golden stream]

the real use for AI is for more specific cutting edge stuff, like enhancing/upscale, assist in inbetweening, correct color, etc etc

[inland mauve]

people who don't understand forcing the use of AI on people who do understand

[golden stream]

like, using AI to assist junior dev is fine, and pray that senior dev may have enough patient to deal w junior dev + AI shenanigan

AI/algorithm to assist in YT shiet imo is kinda....fine????

the risk here is more about the learning model, which may contain a lotta copyright stuff

but ngl I do want to train an image gen AI but with only my own work so it can assist in my stuff

[inland mauve]

oh true I forgot about the legal risks

and that circles back to the Air Canada case, where the courts ruled the refund policy hallucinated by the AI was binding

hence the axiom to never let AI make decisions, because they cannot be held responsible

[bitter girder]

nice laptops bit pricey but i love mine

[umbral moss]

If Ai isn't allowed to make decisions, as in, its generative nonsense is limited due to trying to limit legal liability, what's the point in buying $500k worth of gpus to power a data center that amounts to a simple pre-programmed chat script

[inland mauve]

ayyy

dang that sucks x_X

[deep sapphire]

Like the article suggests

[sly elk]

i seriously didn't notice a performance difference when I changed my ddr5 clock speeds lol

[dire viper]

I know whats wrong with it. It aint got no gas in it.

[sly elk]

i still pushed it to ddr5-6000 because that's what is said to be the most effective on a 7800x3d but still

LOL

bad gas

GM designed the i9 after making the 3800 v6

[dire viper]

this is why you shoulda gotten a 13900KS hank

it'll run crappy longer tha nthe other ones will run

Ya

You just need really good timings

I don’t remember how to figure out how low the overall latency is tho

There is a formula for it

[wild wyvern]

is 16gb ram or 32gb ram better if i multitask mostly

[golden stream]

32

also context I taken is w11?

but if your budget is limited so 16 is fine

[wild wyvern]

win 10 viy

16 is still fine now right?

[dire viper]

Yea kinda

If you’re running the most modern games you’ll want 32 gigs of whatever is fastest for your setup

[wild wyvern]

oh well

yes i might

[dire viper]

Otherwise 16 is fine

[wild wyvern]

im going for an r7 5700x soo

[dire viper]

It’s just a lot of games can use upwards of like 10GB of ram now?

[wild wyvern]

Im not suprised lol

[dire viper]

Yea with a 5700X you’ll want RAM that can do 3600Mhz

And then find the lowest timings possible

[wild wyvern]

i think i will just get the same brnad for 2 rams

[dire viper]

The AMD infinity fabric stuff is goofy but the 5 series benefits directly from 3600Mhz cause it’s optimized for it or something

That’s what the smart people have told me

[lost python]

there are plenty of games listing 16gb as the minimum requirement now, so yeah

honestly i would just go with 32gb since DDR4 is dirtcheap now

[golden stream]

I'm aiming for 64Gb rn

[wild wyvern]

oh idk about ddr4 price in malaysia here

[golden stream]

but no memory inténe ửok just yet so I'm idling in 40GB lol

[golden stream]

it should be cheapo enough

[dire viper]

I haven’t played a game made without the last two years

Well, P3R

But that’s not exactly the most intensive game

[lost python]

google is such a fucking joke

[wraith agate]

lmao

The musky boy for once make a valid point

Why is that option not there?

I had to use secret programming knowledge to skip it

[inland mauve]

well you know why, it's a dark pattern so Microsoft can go "well you can skip it" but ensure that most people won't

the irony is just that Elongated Muskrat is angry when someone else does it

[sharp star]

it’s especially funny because he presents himself as a genius and innovator who will one day take us to Mars

[inland mauve]

he has always measured with two different measures, one for himself and one for the people he has to share this world with

[wraith agate]

It's why he wants to go mars

I say, let him, I have a better candidate for human habitation anyway. Say would you like to live on some floating cities on Venus?

[inland mauve]

Starfield taught me that Venus is more hospitable than Earth with a thin atmosphere

[golden stream]

it's a dark pattern, used only for retails to preload dummy acc

or, aim for retail

can just google it w a phone, ezpz

[umbral moss]

If only his hob knobbers ever stopped to use one single braincell to have a critical analysis moment for what he's actually done, personally

[lean frigate]

I might have found the issue
I Just uninstalled the Game and then installed it without the Update that Released Yesterday
I then Played through the Boss etc again and i didnt have any issues during the final cutscene🤷🏻
I then read that they changed a Line from aerith in the Update
So my guess is that they broke Something?
Gonna Play through it with the Update again now

[sly elk]

lol he only has work email addresses

that's dumb

[sly elk]

they made it harder with win11 ><

before it was just unplug ethernet

so apple really did have a car project after all

and they just canceled it

https://www.macrumors.com/2024/02/27/apple-cancels-electric-car-project/

my favorite part

Work on the ‌Apple Car‌ is winding down and many of the people that were working on the car will move to Apple's artificial intelligence division to work on generative AI under AI chief John Giannandrea.

[sly elk]

I guess it's good I hadn't joined apple because i would've loved to work on that

[deep sapphire]

maybe Microsoft should take notes instead of firing people because they are contractors

[sly elk]

i don't recognize the logo on the wheel

[umbral moss]

I feel like there are better ways to integrate machine learning into the driver experience than "it drives itself while you whack it to pornhub"

[sly elk]

some EVs are electric guzzlers though. like the hummer truck and cybertruck and rivians

giant pigs that produce a ton of tire waste

[umbral moss]

Aim a little lower, yall

[sly elk]

and imho instead of all this posturing about uh epa gas mileage or whatever

we should make it simpler

class anything over like 5000lbs as a commercial vehicle and require a CDL for it

and maybe mandatory anger management classes lol

[umbral moss]

Isn't there already a miles per kwh spec that largely replaces the empg nonsense

[sly elk]

idk

[umbral moss]

To be fair, even an ev sedan weighs almost 5000 pounds so you basically kill the ev market

[sly elk]

then maybe a little more but not much

like i think model 3 sized cars are fine

[umbral moss]

Evs are just stupid heavy because they're functionally power wheels for adults

[sly elk]

maybe even model s cars

[signal fable]

it's called DS if im not mistaking

[umbral moss]

You should look at the wet weight of a model 3

[sly elk]

and a model s weighs 4700lbs?

a model 3 weighs 3900lbs-ish

[umbral moss]

It's the fact people want to see 700 mile max ranges instead of like, 100-ish

[sly elk]

looks like 4250lbs for the long range

[umbral moss]

Carrying 18k AA batteries is heavy

[sly elk]

most f150s weigh less than 5000lbs according to the spec sheet

which is pretty much what i'm saying

the f150/silverado 1500/ram 1500 should be the benchmark for "largest/heaviest vehicle a regular person can drive"

and, yes, I think that trying to stop these stupid behemoth EVs is my reason for that xD

[umbral moss]

I would prefer they just exploded these little dick trucks and brought back s10 size trucks

[potent arrow]

holy mother of God

this has to be a marine diesel right

[sly elk]

i agree

i am also totally fine with the idea that evs should only have like 100mi range and be considered city cars

[umbral moss]

I mean, you can still have evs with 100 mile ranges in the fuck hole of nowhere

[sly elk]

yea it's hard to really decide on a number

[umbral moss]

It takes way less time to charge a 100 mile pack than a 700 mile pack

Even on level 2, which is easy to run anywhere in the us

[sly elk]

ya i wanna say if you had 4 25mi packs

that would be almost ideal

it might still be uncomfortably heavy/large to swap out though

[umbral moss]

Level 3 at 350kw will charge a 100 mile pack in what, 15 minutes?

It takes you that long to find the fucking key to the piss bucket

[sly elk]

because a wrangler 4xe only gets 22mi off a big battery

iirc it was said to weigh around 800lbs but I don;'t think it actually does?

assuming a nice aerodynamic small car could get 3x the range you're still talking only 66mi

and we're talking about a gas tank sized 'under the back seat' battery

[umbral moss]

I'd believe that weight depending on the chemistry and how they packaged it

[sly elk]

true

and 8x100lb battery modules would suck :\

interestingly that metal shelf has a max weight of 350lbs

[dire viper]

showing off Mitsubishis updated AWD

[umbral moss]

The outlander still exists?

[dire viper]

yes

like the only car the sell lmao

they still sell the Mirage tho

honestly, I kinda wanna buy a newer mirage once I get a place and turn it into a lil rally car

[umbral moss]

Can you get the mirage in the US?

Seems like all the good cars are fucking jdm exclusive

Usdm? Hope you like trucks bitch

[dire viper]

yuh

Mirage is US

a Nissan and the base Mirage are the cheapest cars in the US

the Mirage gets 40mpg combined

[umbral moss]

Poggin

[dire viper]

the most expensive mirage is only 19k

and it gets lots of like normal stuff

for 19k

its a 1.2 liter engine lmao

thats why it gets such great fuel economy

[umbral moss]

Yeah lmao

[dire viper]

honestly mitsubishi just needs to make a cheap hot hatch or AWD saloon like the EVO

the Lancer was pretty outdated, it suffered from the WRX issues

[umbral moss]

Until you turbocharge it

[dire viper]

the WRX only got heavy with very little power gain

and the STi was in the same boat

[umbral moss]

Where they don't care about homologation anymore so the car slowly devolves into a fat version of itself that costs way more than it should because of its name?

[dire viper]

yuh cause Homologation isnt real anymore outside of like

GT class racing

the factory rally WRX you can buy from Subaru is like

[umbral moss]

Bring back the talon eclipse

[dire viper]

90% not a WRX

[umbral moss]

Although it's funny that you can usually find talons cheaper than eclipses despite being the same underneath

[dire viper]

its cause the Talon is stinky

[umbral moss]

Yeah, that's like my legacy, it's mostly a fucking outback with a regular trunk

[dire viper]

did the Talon get a GSX trim with AWD and the 4G63

[dire viper]

yuh

[umbral moss]

Yeah, it's a dsm... 2?

[dire viper]

they made a Legacy Wagon

i kinda want one

they are cool

[umbral moss]

I remember the talon had a speed variant

[dire viper]

Legacy Wagon goes hard

[dire viper]

pretty sure that one has an oceana front bumper

[sly elk]

see the corolla that is bigger than the old camry

[dire viper]

cause it looks like the US bumpers have much bigger fog lamps

yep, that one has a JDM/Aussie bumper

[sly elk]

hell the first gen avalon was 190 long. the camry is solidly larger than that now lol

[sly elk]

i always wondered why 90s cars bothered with an upper grille

[dire viper]

cause looks

also more air

your radiator on the bottom is gonna eat most of the air flow

[sly elk]

you know what would be funny

[dire viper]

its why Subaru actually bothered with the STi's and made hood vents
