#

I was looking at them originally or similar older epyc/xeon stuff but buying everything separately got expensive

#

7D12 is ~£140 on its own

#

I imagine it’s more enthusiasts own TRs and the epycs and Xeons are pulled from actual servers

#

Most of them are from China anyway

cerulean talon
#

TR's only exist for the workstation market.

#

No-one would bother to put them into an acutual server, a TR is half the memory/PCIe lanes of an epyc unless you get the pro.

hazy frost
#

Yeah that’s what I mean

#

More people are buying the TR for home use in a workstation so it gets sold like this

#

Most epycs are sold by a company as spares individually

cerulean talon
#

Not spares, upcycle. The TR missed that, though the 9995WX is supposed to be drop-in for the 7995WX

#

The 7D12's were OEM sku's.

hazy frost
#

Like I can find a TR on marketplace but I’m never finding an epyc on there

#

Yeah it’s not just the 7D12 but its annoying

#

I wonder how cheap stuff is off AliExpress for these

#

They’re coming from the same place regardless

cerulean talon
#

For me it's about the same as ebay tbh.

hazy frost
#

Hmm

#

EBay stuff seems really expensive here

#

Might be shipping differences

cerulean talon
#

Maybe? 7d12's shipped here are ~80 USD

#

I know alot of mine came e-parcel or whatever they call that super cheap shipping setup for small packets.

hazy frost
#

It’s easier to find a 7402

#

And cheaper

hazy frost
cerulean talon
#

Wild, your ebay is weird.

hazy frost
#

Which is $130

#

UK stuff

cerulean talon
#

Silly UK.

my computer is the definition of mid-end now lol

#

sooo

#

are you going to do what ice did and buy a 5090?

kindred brook

#

I want the internet not for AI

#

But 1ms everywhere on the globe so I can play with frens without lag

sly elk
#

i wanna vertical mount my gpu

#

the rgb fans are so pretty

#

also random, i bought this 'refurbished: excellent' macbook air for my brother on amazon and uhhh

#

if that's their idea of 'excellent' lmao

hot shadow
#

rip that's like "Fair"

#

unfortunate

#

you can still get refund from amazon i think since you documented it

#

even eBay wouldn't like that and would refund in that case

sly elk
#

oh yea amazon's really great for this

#

the 'renewed' stuff has a 90 day no questions asked return policy

#

i already filed the return and ordered another from a different seller, which I am trying to cancel now because i realized it wasn't fulfilled by amazon and that means returning it will probably be a pain in the ass

lost python
#

ah fuck i cant decide if i want to go 49" super ultrawide or just regular ultrawide or if i wait for a better 45" 5k2k ultrawide

sly elk
#

it doesn't have to be perfect, but that bad was too much XD
just getting a cheap macbook to see if my brother likes it more than the cheap windows laptops he tried in the past

sly elk
#

-is sitting in front of a 57" super ultrawide-

#

i take it the 49" would be oled?

hazy frost
#

I stand by 49 being too hard to actually use productively

#

Regular 34” plus a vertical 27” is peak

#

Bending my neck too much to see the sides of the screen

sly elk
#

I love my 57" in terms of size and resolution, the vertical height is tall enough to feel pretty usable

#

tbh I think the 45" 5k2k would offer a similar experience, just not as wide?

hazy frost
#

I feel like 34” is the perfect point of u can see it easily even including the extra horizontal space which makes it more ergonomic

sly elk
#

from experience

#

I've owned 2 of the 34", and when I've used 38" monitors at work I liked them a lot more lol

#

the extra vertical space ❤️

hazy frost
#

38 is pretty close to 34 yeah

#

I’d take either

sly elk
#

the nice thing about 34" is it's the same height as 27"

#

not vertical 27" though

hazy frost
#

Any bigger feels like an effort to actually use the extra screen space because it’s so far over

sly elk
#

yea you don't, really

hazy frost
#

I just like the vertical one bc usually a 34 is enough to see everything u need on that screen and then u can read documentation or something on the vertical one

#

I’ll probably get a 34 when I upgrade a gpu

#

Lmao

#

I mean u use slightly more than a 34”

sly elk
#

frfr

#

my old setup was a 34" with a 25" 1080 on either side

#

but the way I used it was very weird 🙂

hazy frost
#

But theres a lot of wasted space presumably bc it’s annoying to turn ur head like an owl to glance over at stuff

sly elk
#

I actually like this a lot better

sly elk
#

and doxing the shit out of myself

#

-deletes the screenshot-

hazy frost
#

Lmao

sly elk
#

not the first time

hazy frost
#

I was gonna get an OLED for a 34” but then I realised I’d get burn in from stuff that doesn’t run ultrawide

#

Waiting for better QD panels before I get one of those

lost python
# sly elk i take it the 49" would be oled?

oled yes and i am looking at the extra ultrawides because i do like the added immersion for some games.
but the 45" looks interesting because its as wide as a regular 21:9 ultrawide, but with added vertical height and higher res

#

the samsung 57 was interesting, but its samsung. i aint touching them anymore

sly elk
#

I would say

#

your horse sense is correct here

sly elk
#

the worst thing about the samsung 57" is it uses a VA panel

hazy frost
#

Samsung not offering burn in warranty on their $2000 OLED displays is a joke I think

sly elk
#

also, I bough tthis thing directly from samsung

lost python
#

the LG just has some issues apparently, especially with dimming and apparently isnt nearly as bright and colorful as the samsungs or others

sly elk
#

and the way their fucking store acted when I tried to register the warranty

#

i felt like i bought it off craigslist cash no receipt

hazy frost
sly elk
#

like hwen I went to register the monitor it said my serial number was invalid

hazy frost
#

QD OLED is almost exclusively glossy coatings which is a problem for some people

#

And they have raised blacks in lit rooms

sly elk
#

so I contacted them and they were like

hazy frost
#

So y don’t rly get OLED blacks unless ur in the dark

sly elk
#

send us a screenshot of your receipt

#

so I sent them a screenshot of the receipt FROM THEIR STORE THA TTHEY HAVE THE ORDER NUMBER FROM

#

and they said it wasn't valid proof of purchase

#

anyway, i've had mine over a year and it's been totally fine

hazy frost
#

lmao

#

samsung and asus wont be getting business from me unless its like 95% off

lost python
#

maybe LG will fix the issues and bring out an updated version.
or maybe i should just get the new alienware

hazy frost
#

alienware will use a samsung panel

#

most likely

sly elk
#

yea alienware actually has a good warranty though

hazy frost
#

yeah that parts tr uwe

#

still annoying if they have any issues with it tho

sly elk
#

but yea I haven't had any issue with my 57" and I love the size

#

and it looks good nuff

#

and the build quality isn't as bad as I thought it'd be

#

sure as fuck aint an apple display

hazy frost
#

i dont think qd oled is worth it personally unless u can sit in a pitch black room 90% of the time

sly elk
#

if the 45" 5k2k is an IPS screen i'd buy that

hazy frost
sly elk
#

all things considered

hazy frost
#

why even have oled atp

lost python
sly elk
#

comfy form factor and size

sly elk
hazy frost
#

need more mini led ultrawides

lost python
#

yes, we all use laptops

sly elk
#

RIP

hazy frost
#

lmao

sly elk
#

you MUST have displayport 1.4 or hdmi 2.0 i think

lost python
#

always have to fuck around with the monitor settings and ports every time someone new sits on it, because the monitor suddenly doesnt properly recoginize the signals from the dockingstation anymore

sly elk
#

otherwise you won't get 7680x2160

#

you'll get 5160x1440

#

most docking stations just do the usb-c to displayport thing

#

they are still constrained to whatever the laptop's gpu can push

lost python
#

ours has a dp and an hdmi port.
still dont know why they bought these

sly elk
#

or worse, the shitty displaylink docks 🤮

#

oh i have this lovely dell wd19tb from work

#

it has a vga port, a displayport, hdmi

lost python
#

lmao

sly elk
#

it's useless with this monitor

#

i use a special cable matters dongle that supports 8k@120hz

#

and it has some weird firmware hack that fucks with macs to trick them into allowing full res

#

works great with my 6 year old work laptop, doesn't work with my year old macbook air

lost python
#

i wonder how the philips evnia ultrawides are like. they seem decent specs-wise but nobody talks about them

sly elk
hazy frost
#

yeah

hazy frost
#

reasonable for the lower price usually but not great

#

its one of those where ABL is always on, lacking hdr options, no external power brick, and not a lot of control over oled care settings

#

similar to i think the coolermaster stuff

#

good panel, cheap on everything else

#

the AOC version is the best cheap one i believe

sly elk
#

ehhh i forgot if my scamsung uses a brick or not lol

#

i think it doesn't

#

i prefer the built in psu but can totally understand why not to do that

hazy frost
#

yeah its fine until it isnt, idm so much with companies with g ood warranty but philips isnt one id go for w ith it

#

id prefer to not have it if possible but some bricks are awful

sly elk
#

saaame

hazy frost
#

my briefly owned oled was the aoc one which was good besides the vrr flickering i sent it back for

sly elk
#

it's funny but almost all of the LCD monitors I've purchased were either dell or apple

hazy frost
#

mine have all been dell lol

#

i had a samsung o ne ages ago

#

but it wasnt anything fancy

sly elk
#

the sad thing is i would still buy this 57" again LOL

#

and yeaaa I do actually use the whole screen for work, it's.. well...

#

i don't really sit there whacking my head back and forth

#

it's more like if Ihave a few things going on they will occupy different parts of the screen and I just kinda move my focus over to that space

#

you may argue this is what switching desktops/spaces is for

#

and I'd agree, but my attention span doesn't work with that

#

switching between workspaces always causes me to freeze for a few seconds

hot shadow
#

i have a 49" ultrawide but they ought to call this a ultra-ultra-ultra wide cause what the fuck

#

honestly? it's too big

#

i have hit the point where this was just a "fuck you" buy

#

i mounted it up and it's not even the primary

#

DUDE IT'S A FUCKIN PAIN TO MOUNT, it's like a 2 person job min

hazy frost
#

I just find the extra unused space distracting more than helpful

#

OLED TVs are really cheap used so people buy 42” TVs and sit 30cm away

hot shadow
#

the extra unused space is for your vanity and 10000000000000000 eyeshadow palettes

#

💅

#

and like 10 tiny purses in a stacking cubbyhole thing, alternated with cute figs and plushies

hazy frost
hazy frost
#

time to make more storage out of the cheapest wood i can find that may or may not bend when i put things on it

hot shadow
#

i made this mistake too and now i dont have a vanity

#

i kinda just do it anywhere

#

but then again i guess ive always been like hobbies > beauty anything and then i regret it a lil

hazy frost
#

yeah..

#

i kind of want to revert it but i dont wanna cut my desk down and then regret that too LOL

hot shadow
#

if i had access to another bedroom then i'd just make that The Woman Den

#

probably

hazy frost
#

yes

hot shadow
#

you go in ugly, you come out hot

hazy frost
#

i have to do mine in the bathroom mirror or over my keyboard now

#

the mess

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

lmao for a bit in a diff apt i had a fuckin folding printer table to do that on, then i would put it away

hazy frost
#

perfect

#

im trying to work out how to make a floor length mirror that folds out from my built in wardrobe rn

#

i shouldnt be trusted with power tools tho

hot shadow
#

why not a door mirror

#

or put the floor length mirror behind the door

hazy frost
#

theres not enough space to stand in front of it there

hot shadow
#

ooo

hazy frost
#

like

#

maybe ill draw a diagram

#

art skills

#

representation

hot shadow
#

i got lucky cause my bathroom sink area has a closet in front with mirror sliding door

#

but i really like big big mirror too, i used to have a whole wall be the mirror

hazy frost
#

i wish

#

not being able to see a full outfit before i leave making me lose it

hot shadow
#

i keep buying mirror, desk mirror, hand mirror, compact mirror, everything mirror

#

im gonna turn the husband into a mirror i dont need him to be flesh anymore

#

car? mirror

hazy frost
#

hat with a mirror taped to it

hot shadow
#

phone? it's just mirror pretending to be phone

hazy frost
#

i should just get a mirror for my desk instead of bathroom one

#

but using my phone as a full size mirror to see outfits driving me crazy

#

not sure how to hinge it on the wardrobe tho

#

how to h old the weight of it properly

hot shadow
#

i think for a bit we had a full length mirror in the living room instead

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

just for anybody to use

hazy frost
#

mirror

hot shadow
#

lol

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

it just slides out

hazy frost
#

oh yeah that would work idk why i didnt think that way

#

hmm

hot shadow
#

i guess if you just store it in there that's fine

#

even if it's like regular standing perhaps

hazy frost
#

damn theyre like £150

hot shadow
#

yea fuk

hazy frost
#

maybe i could do it myself

#

its just a rail with a mirror on it

hot shadow
#

you ever buy mirror tiles?

#

could just throw it on the wall all over the place up n down

#

3M sticky lmao

hazy frost
#

hmm

hot shadow
#

ive seen people ghetto duct tape those

hazy frost
#

i wanted it out of the way tbh ill probably try the pull out one first

hot shadow
#

ye

hazy frost
#

if it doesnt work thats probably the best i can do

#

idk what kind of rails youd buy for that tho

#

i might as well buy a premade one with the prices of stuff god

hot shadow

i still kinda want that mspaint mirror ...

come to think of it

malls seem to be a pump and dump too

#

use city/county money to subsidize building a giant building and give the stores a tax break for 20 years or whatever

then the custodial company takes ownership of the building

The enemy of AI “for the people” is overproducing dedicated cards imo. Making it generally accessible means more people can buy in and then drop it after a month or two, power users who actually need the compute already have what they need

Malls are weird

Most malls actually aren’t that bad

Luxury watch stores besides Breitling and Tag Heuer fail here, but a make your own jewelry store has thrived regardless of not being built on 200% profit margins

What's this about skin mask

hot shadow

its ok cause it turns out doxycycline gives you 0 acne whatsoever and kills it actually

Okay but is it for the skin or made out of skin?

hot shadow

for skin

#

it's a near-infrared red LED mask

wraith agate
#

I see

hot shadow
#

it beams your face and your rosacea and acne disappears

#

your pores also get smaller a bit

#

overall even tone and the texture improves a lot in 2 weeks

basically it MAKES YOU LESS UGLY

so everyone goes in their socks

welp

#

tbh I'm not sure how they're going to overcome that one lol

#

the ev charger already had a bad reputation for bad/glitchy software

tepid gulch
#

Unintended acceleration oh god

dire viper
#

Unintended acceleration investigations are fun

#

The Toyota one was really funny

#

The service announcement for Toyota was to remove every sort of pad or floor mat from vehicles

#

Cause they found that the issues were people were using unanchored floor mats that were sliding over the pedal

#

They will be able to pull the main PCM and check the pedal inputs to the acceleration inputs

#

So if it’s truly unintended it will show

#

If its user error it will show

#

People tried to do fraudulent claims against Toyota during that period and the PCM never lies

sly elk
#

but it would probably still be obvious

#

because an intentional pushing of the pedal would give you a steady and constant stream of values

sly elk
#

like 50,51,55,50,50,51,48,60,65,80, 120, 165, 235, 300
vs 50, 4680, 48, 2600, 51, 2600, 3100, 56, 48

#

yea idk how they'll recover from that, the ev charger already had a bad rep

#

and i'm not buying jalopnik's take here

#

having software to handle throttle input is nothing new. not even in stla cars.

#

the old charger had an electronic throttle since it came out in 2005

#

in fact the first few years a few people complained about unintended lack of acceleration when the bracket holding the plastic gas pedal broke off

tepid gulch
#

Poor Dodge

#

I mean

#

Stelantis

sly elk
#

i wonder who they can even blame anyway

#

afaik that car was engineered by a hodge podge of contractors and random hires across eastern europe lol

#

this is probably hyperbole but I'm beginning to think they just took the lx platform and did some sloppy engineering to make it accommodate an EV drivetrain

#

but if they did that they wouldn't have had to create a whole new factory to build it

#

so that's giving them too much credit lol

#

welp lol

sly elk
#

yea I mean usually they're built that way but engineered that way is a different story

sharp star
#

competitive with the 5060 Ti huh

sly elk
#

i get the vibe the wrangler or maybe the gc was the last vehicle they actually engineered in the US lol

#

because they laid off a lot of the american engineers

#

my favorite thing is the 8gb card

sharp star
#

lmao

sly elk
#

someone was talking about the 8gb rx480/580 and i was thinking

tepid gulch
#

Ah yes 8gb

sly elk
#

that card came out in 2016

#

and amd is basically selling the same thing 9 years later

sharp star
sly elk
#

i wonder how much more performance you get anyway

#

if we look at the 8gb 9060 as a modern day rx580

tepid gulch
#

I mean both companies have had 8gb as their standard until the past 3 or 4 years

sly elk
#

i think adjusting for inflation it's actually cheaper

#

yea but it's hilarious that their entry level gpu was 8gb then and still is

tepid gulch
#

Yeah

sly elk
#

(to be fair, the bargain bin rx480 was 4gb)

tepid gulch
#

It is faster ram

sly elk
#

I don't remember if they also made a 4gb 580

tepid gulch
#

But still

sly elk
#

amd's ceo pulling that 640k should be enough for anyone thing

sharp star
#

Good luck finding a 9060 XT at MSRP though

sly elk
#

i don't like saying htis

#

but amd's ceo is a fuckhead

#

just like nvidia's ceo

#

oh wait that's too bad because i'm saying she's a fuckhead

sharp star
sly elk
#

yep lol

tepid gulch
#

Well let's see

#

The 9070 is 311% faster than the rx580

#

So extrapolate the 9060

sly elk
sly elk
#

so maybe 200% faster

#

welp there's our 9 years of tech

tepid gulch
#

The 580 is still around $400

#

A 9070 can be for 600 area

sly elk
#

idk imma sit here waiting for some random chinese startup to make a gpu that is somehow faster than a 5090 and uses 10w of power

#

probably not happening because physics

#

but it'd be funny if it did

#

and also i'm not sure how much the gddr7xftwbbq ram costs

sly elk
#

they were $250 to begin with

#

$200 when you could get a 1070ti for $379

#

CONSIDER THAT

#

there was a time you could buy a 1070ti for 379

#

a 70 series card for 379

hazy frost
#

Weren’t they $400

#

For the cheapest one at MSRP

tepid gulch
#

The issue is they're only around 3GB per chip as of now

#

So that's the majority of the price of the card

hazy frost
#

VRAM is actually one of the things that is expensive

tepid gulch
#

So that's what

#

$320 of vram on a 24gb card

hazy frost
#

Things are still overpriced but gddr7 does cost stupid money

tepid gulch
#

Samsung really makes everything don't they

you kind of cant avoid their components anyway

fortunately the people using them have better QC and customer service

then again if you're wearing a dress we can have a cute smaller purse

hazy frost

theres the skirts with shorts with pockets under

#

i need to get those

tepid gulch
#

It's all a conspiracy between the clothing and purse industries

hazy frost
#

real

#

only pants in womens section that have pockets are cargos

#

but yeah only google and apple have a 'pro' that isnt large

#

even the plus or whatever from samsung is bigger so

#

u can only get base model small from most companies

tepid gulch
#

Base model pants

sly elk
#

-shrug-

#

luckily more companies have been including size charts

#

but some companies do a real shit job at it

#

the best ones: "here's a size chart for this particular product. Make sure to check it because it's not the same as our other stuff!"

#

the worst ones: "here's our size chart for pants, shorts, pajamas, and overalls"

#

and it's like a crooked scanned sheet of paper with coffee stains on it

hot shadow
#

not only that but you buy the right size then it stops fitting after the first wash

#

cause maybe you underestimated how it would behave and maybe you -did- size up and then it fucking shrank anyway despite air dry

#

or worse, you buy what you think is the right size but because one of your 3 measurements is off by a bit because you have a normal human body, suddenly the entire dress won't fit

#

or the company lied and it's also 2 inches smaller

sly elk
#

lol i bought this shirt from hot topic that says xl on the label but it's really like medium at best

#

i was pissed about that because their shirts always fit so i never really bothered to fit check it, just threw it in the washer

hot shadow
#

well on the bright side you can always learn a lil sewing and edit it

#

in that case you add side panels

#

maybe even fix the neckhole and cut the armholes a bit to be wider if necessary

hazy frost
#

Solution is probably learn to tailor clothes but no one has time for that

hot shadow
#

we do, it's like 10 minute yt tutorials and a lil trial n error every night for a bit

#

not so bad

#

I think we make these old skills seem fearsome but they're really not so hard

#

it's a joy to take a big big fatguy shirt then tailor it down into a vintage off shoulder tshirtdress

#

the more jank it looks the better

hazy frost
hot shadow
#

yeaa

#

i guess it's prob more of a pain for men cause their motivation is shot when they buy some normalass clothes but they can only tailor it into more normalass clothes

#

at least we can tailor a too-small long jeans into something fabulous

#

without being called gay

#

speaking of which, these new sewing machines are fucking amazing wth, they do embroidery for us all digitally

hazy frost
#

Yeah I should probably buy some of the equipment for stuff if not just for tailoring clothes

#

Idk how much time I’ll have for it but we’ll see

inland mauve

it makes perfect sense for this to happen

it goes completely in line with business idiot logic

#

that reduces every form of human experience to inputs and outputs

#

AIs are just a black box between those two

#

and the black box needs to be as cheap as possible

#

so if you can just replace it with a bunch of super cheap engineers and sell it as AI and that makes you the most money

#

of course a business idiot is going to do that
