Software cab rebuild arrays so well these days upgrading the drives down the line if necessary wouldn't be too bad

[hazy frost]

I only realistically have like 2TB of things to store at any time anyway

Unless I start downloading more stuff

Might do if I had a NAS tbf

[tepid gulch]

I only have maybe 100gb of files

[hazy frost]

I have like 500gb worth of photos at a minimum I think

[tepid gulch]

Jesus

[hazy frost]

Among other things

[hazy frost]

Mix of camera old phone and new phone lmao

RAW files BIG

[tepid gulch]

Ohhh that's why

[hazy frost]

My phone alone is 170 or smth

Rn

[tepid gulch]

[hazy frost]

Yeah..

5K? Photos

Whatever the resolution is

4*

Actually nvm it’s 5184x3456

[tepid gulch]

So around 5k

[hazy frost]

Yeah

But yeah for sure most people need like 1TB

But raid 5..

U might as well for the extra $30

Keeping all my old drawing stuff bc I have 10 copies of each one for no reason

[tepid gulch]

[wide juniper]

Is this what a crashout is

I feel like I'm crashin out rn

The place in town doesn't do phone screen repair

Ok so the boost place does do phone repair

It'll be a hundred and twenty bucks but whatever

[lost python]

oh thats weird

i lowered the brightness of my second screen so i dont get blasted from the side while gaming, but doing that had the weird side effect that now my text is blurry

[wide juniper]

I have enough money to do the transfer in my savings account. Ohhhhhhh I could kiss me so much right now

[spare elbow]

does anyone know if the newest update of amd drivers is stable with xiv

the 25.6.1

ive been on 24.12 for the longest time bc its the only one thats really been functional for me

[wide juniper]

Seems stable to me.

I've been using AMD and outside of fighting with it to run older games at regular frame rates it's a'ight.

[hazy frost]

Go try new one- if no work go back to old one

The easiest way to tell

[spare elbow]

[hazy frost]

I’ve had to do the same regularly recently bc of how bad Nvidias new drivers are lol

[spare elbow]

yeahh i just asked bc im lazy

i need to do a cpu and mobo upgrade soon as well

[hazy frost]

I need a cpu cooler upgrade..

Summer’s impending doom for my temps

[spare elbow]

my local microcenter has a rly good deal on a bundle with a 7800x3d + mobo + 32 gigs of ram

so im gonna go for that

[hazy frost]

Oh yeah they’re good

If u wanna spend less they do the 7600x3d too still I think?

Also good u just get 6 cores instead of 8

[spare elbow]

yeah mine is just kinda old rn

11700kf

[hazy frost]

Could be worse

I had a 6700k

[spare elbow]

but $599 usd for that cant be beat

[hazy frost]

Yeah

Microcenter is great

Even their prebuilts on sale are cheaper than building a pc recently

[spare elbow]

7800x3d is just

what i need i think

[hazy frost]

There was a 5080 9800x3d for $1700 recently

[spare elbow]

because my issues with occult are making me just annoyed enough to do the upgrade

[spare elbow]

wtf

im good on gpu for now

ive got a 6950 xt

it runs hot but thats whatever

[hazy frost]

It’s just an overclocked 6900xt if u turn the clocks down a bit temps get a lot better

But yeah they just do that

[spare elbow]

ill live

in the winter i save on heat

[hazy frost]

Lmao

[spare elbow]

in the summer i just run ac a bit higher

[hazy frost]

Looking back at that card they really upped their game in efficiency

[hazy frost]

Blessed enough to have AC

I’m jealous

[spare elbow]

its not the best obviously but it works

and i got a good discount on it from mc

so

cant complain

[hazy frost]

Yeah

Any AC feels amazing in summer even if not great

[spare elbow]

im na i got good ac

i need it a little on the warmer end bc i have a lot of tropical plants

[hazy frost]

That’s cool

AC isn’t normalised in UK yet

Slowly we’ll get there I think it’s a must have in new homes now

[wide juniper]

D'you think I'll be able to get a refund for the phone they sold me?

I'm using it rn but like

I won't need it once I get the old one's screen fixed. So all I'll really want is just the service transferred back

[hazy frost]

Depends on their policy

[wide juniper]

Or maybe i can just get away with keeping this new one in case of an emergency where things are truly irreparable

[hazy frost]

Idk what ur contract with them is

[wide juniper]

Long as I don't drop it I should be fine

[wide juniper]

So

I have been told

They were able to fix the screen

But the motherboard is cooked

It got damaged and while it's usable it's only a matter of time before it goes down for good

But they got it working enough so that I can transfer everything to my new phone

[wide hill]

I think my router is dying

[tepid gulch]

Unplug it and plug it back in (every tech support ever)

[wide hill]

Man it happens every time too often

Something breaks and it needs to be plugged off

[tepid gulch]

I swear routers are sentient and act up on their own

At least they aren't as bad as printers tho

[wide hill]

I did a factory reset and it still isn't working

Nvm finally

Nvm got disconnected again

Maybe I need to plug the dam thing off, but I'd have to wait for tomorrow as it's in my neighbour's place

Or maybe it's my phone

[earnest sedge]

IPvanish iis such an weird vpn

It has splitunneling but you have to select all the apps which are NOT gonna use the vpn instead of simply letting people select which programms
will utilize the connection

[brave oxide]

Reverse mudfish

[potent arrow]

cuz most ISP routers are dogshit hitrons in Canada

they over heat and break

if you google Hitron router issues, it's rampant

[tepid gulch]

I use a tplink wifi 7 router

Do I have any devices that can use wifi 7? Absolutely not

[potent arrow]

ngl the ROG ally

is pretty sick

[sly elk]

i wonder if the xbox ally is going to be the way forward for 'xbox' products

[potent arrow]

didn't they manufacture the new Xbox handheld lol

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1de113lkdpo.amp

Xbox ally LOL

[sly elk]

that's what I meant uh asus is making it like

[sly elk]

i wonder if this means ms doesn't wanna make xboxes anymore

[potent arrow]

probably not but shift to Xbox being a console for gamepass

[sly elk]

it already is xD

[potent arrow]

I bet they'll roll into gamepass entirely

I mean don't they sell.. games separately? and some games don't run on the Xbox?

[sly elk]

like in the last idk 5-10 years I'd say MS' strategy has been 'here's a console to play the games you were playing on your pc, but in your living room'

[potent arrow]

....I actually can't name a recent Xbox exclusive....

[sly elk]

it wouldn't make sense for microsoft to make xbox exclusive games

[potent arrow]

I guess... that's just what consoles usually do

[sly elk]

err rather lemme say that a different way

[potent arrow]

Xbox is just a glorified DVR at this point compared to the ps5

[sly elk]

it makes sense for microsoft to make and encourage microsoft xbox/windows exclusive games

[hazy frost]

Literally just an upgraded rog ally

But Microsoft branded it so they can charge more money now

[hazy frost]

Forza motorsport and uhhhh

But any Xbox exclusive can be played on pc now

Like call of duty isn’t an exclusive

World we live in where Nintendo just released the best value for money handheld console again

People saying buy a rog ally they’re like $800 😭

[potent arrow]

got mine for 600$ cad

[hazy frost]

I mean yeah but MSRP is £600 or £900 for the X version

Even steam deck OLED starts at £520

[wide hill]

basically gonna allow third party (even steam deck) to run the "xbox os (aka windows lite)" in the future

as they partner with different companies who want to also enter the handheld gaming market

im gonna bet its probably allowed to install the steam deck os onto it aswell?

[hazy frost]

steamOS in the year 2037

its just linux anyway

i feel like xbox OS will just be worse than steamOS by the time it comes out tho bc linux support is getting better for handheld gaming

and if xboxOS is anything like windows at all itll be horrible on handheld

[sharp star]

SteamOS in three weeks then

[hazy frost]

true

i have actually been impressed with the switch from what ive seen this week

theyre already in stock again in 4 days here lol

they actually followed through with 'we'll make enough'

[sharp star]

Yeah it's a good console but my biggest complaint with it has to be the cartridge situation

Other stuff like the downgrade from OLED to LCD I can live with

[hazy frost]

i was mad about the oled thing when isaw the spec list tbh

tyhen i saw reviews and damn that LCD display is actualyl very good

also theres no tooling for an oled screen of that size resolution and refresh rate

steam deck is 800x whatever

the cartidges suck but now that a lot of triple a games will be playable its just in line with other console pricing for those too i imagine

better hardware than the steam deck for £125 less

if u already have a steam library different story ig

[wraith agate]

SO! I got a new laptop however unfortunately the layout of the keyboard is german, is there a way to replace keycaps? it's an ASUS TUF gaming F17

[hazy frost]

Just find keycaps in English or native language for the same layout

You can probably find it online

They don’t all have completely unique sizes or anything

[wraith agate]

neat, I shall start looking

but if you got any recommendations please send me

[hazy frost]

Just the official ones that would come on an asus laptop but in another language shouldn’t be hard to find

Like it’s all just ISO for European ones I’m pretty sure

So u can get British English or other European ones

[weak harbor]

can you recommend me a notebook that doesn't cost too much but doesn't run ffxiv like crap too, for a friend

something that's globally available as we're both italians, from amazon for example

[hazy frost]

Depends what not costing too much is

[weak harbor]

let's say as less as possible, he's a student and he doesn't save a lot

however I don't want to recommend something that doesn't let you enjoy the game

[hazy frost]

I mean that’s still kinda vague

And what does not running like crap mean

[weak harbor]

something more than minimum requirements I guess

but costing as less as possible

is it still vague? I'll try be more specific

[hazy frost]

I guess but minimum requirements aren’t very high tbh

I know that ‘not a lot’ of money is relative to some people that’s €200 and some that’s like 700 tho

[weak harbor]

yep, I'd like something that as cheap as possible as he tends not to save at all xD

it's a "big" investment but his gaming pc has been dead for more than 2yrs

repairing is out of the option as it's old as fuck

[hazy frost]

I see

Well does he need a laptop for portability tho bc if u have a monitor and keyboard from the old one a prebuilt is still less money

[weak harbor]

I guess it'd be a bit easy for him, he's often traveling between two cities to study

[hazy frost]

Italian Amazon doesn’t rly have anything

[weak harbor]

I think he'd be happy with a gaming pc, but portability may be less hassle

rly?

besides that ebay would be the next option

[hazy frost]

It’s probably another case of it being best to order from Netherlands/german Amazon or other stores

[weak harbor]

what pc have you got in mind?

[hazy frost]

U can look locally I’d just look for something cheap with a 3060/4060 that isn’t MSI bc their lower end stuff has quality issues

They should be like €400 used but Italy can be more expensive

If he’s studying with it outside of home maybe something with an igpu so the battery life isn’t terrible

U can send anything u consider here and someone will give advice I’m sure

[weak harbor]

ty so much

what about this? https://www.ebay.it/itm/396710734313?_skw=notebook+rtx+4060&itmmeta=01JXD5EF0WTJ8E7MTKHZZR3G8Q&hash=item5c5dcd69e9:g:GRwAAOSwb3toI5VC&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eJOjhB7gbP2Ja05qEMVEMppxAzKYIMgRTUQEFaBweKLbVfpuarYd2ag8lga6Mq20aO2VUTz16F5C7gCuwGnZQiyAfe%2BQQOUr0E02RXJOqkQVuXgIAhY31nDfuNe6n3WUh%2F967SwgF7S2QcCAacTha3YdOldLWwisqb62q9BpMI5ngwvSja0UB8SMnZ3ccMewMu59wm43szqEAH5G0iB%2FDpkOuNIqc%2FdslPySJFF%2FIuOyKGvWnohPgChE6YwI06Nq4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8zwuaXrZQ

it's a bit hard to find something around €400, but this is close

this looks like a nice offer tho, it's way above minimum requirements

[lost python]

a notebook 3050 is pretty slow. it will likely run the game, just not super well, but if you dont care about higher settings etc, it should be okay

[weak harbor]

here in the recommend specs it says NVIDIA® Geforce® RTX 2060 (6GB)

[weak harbor]

isn't it good specs according to SE?

I found also a Gygabyte G5 i5-11400H Ram 16 GB SSD 512GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 6GB

for the same price on another site

[lost python]

higher number does not equal more performance

the 2060 is faster than the 3050

[weak harbor]

ah okay

[lost python]

and even more so than the laptop 3050

[lost python]

would be a much better system tbh

[hazy frost]

Yeah laptop 3050 is even more of a pos

It’s just ewaste atp

Desktop one is bad enough

[weak harbor]

how do you compare graphic cards if you've never learned them?

you look at performance comparison?

[lost python]

learn about them. look at benchmarks etc online (but stay away from userbenchmark and similarly named sites)
lots of youtubers testing too

[weak harbor]

I see

[hazy frost]

Techpowerup have the most reliable direct % comparison on their website

It’s not perfect but it’s way better than anyone else’s

[weak harbor]

I found another one same gpu (rtx 3060 ) CPU AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H

[hazy frost]

That’s also good

[weak harbor]

but I'll recommend him the gigabyte its cheaper

[hazy frost]

For ffxiv cpu matters tbh so

5800h isn’t bad

[tepid gulch]

Become a nerd

[hazy frost]

It’s quite. A bit faster than the 11400h is

[tepid gulch]

[hazy frost]

still good on power efficiency

[hazy frost]

Don’t call us out like that

[tepid gulch]

Also remember certain games run better on different cards

And some cpus play better with certain games too

[hazy frost]

That’s also true

Though the difference between a 5800h is too big to the 11400h to matter

[tepid gulch]

Oh laptop parts

I'm not even up to date on those

[hazy frost]

I mean we’re talking older ones bc cheap atm

All I know is AMD stays winning rn in every market

Ryzen AI processors in laptops beat everything in efficiency which fr is what matters in laptops

[weak harbor]

does AMD stand for Amigo my dollars?

[hazy frost]

lol

Advanced micro devices

[weak harbor]

:>

[tepid gulch]

Yesh

Amd just be winning

I haven't even looked at any intel processors in like 2 years

Getting same or better performance for usually less than half the power

[hazy frost]

When ur competition shoots themself in the foot but u only dropped a hammer on yours that happens

It’s not like they’re even doing a good job most of the time

Mediocrity winning

[tepid gulch]

They need to hire better driver makers

[hazy frost]

Intel confirming their current socket supports ONE generation of CPUs is funny as hell

[hazy frost]

We don’t talk about Nvidias rn then

[tepid gulch]

You do not need to upgrade a socket every generation come on Intel

I wonder if the 10000 series amd will still be on am5

[hazy frost]

Presumably they changed architecture realised they didn’t get it right and need to reevaluate everything again

[hazy frost]

It’ll be like 8000 where it’s laptop processor/refresh

11000 is guaranteed to be on am5

[tepid gulch]

[hazy frost]

They guaranteed 2027 minimum

[tepid gulch]

Am5 is a great socket

Theres still lots of room for better cpus

[hazy frost]

It’ll probably be we get 11 then a refresh then maybe some old binned x3d like am4 did

[tepid gulch]

Amd does some weird releases for sure

[hazy frost]

Intel released nothing

[tepid gulch]

Who

[hazy frost]

New CPUs didn’t even beat their old CPUs

And had more issues bc of hyper threading going bye and more e cores

[tepid gulch]

E and p cores seem like a waste of time to me

[hazy frost]

Intel committed

Too late now

AMD just gave us double the amount of P cores instead

[tepid gulch]

Meanwhile amd can have p core performance with e core energy usage

[hazy frost]

190w 9950x

16 P cores

[tepid gulch]

Yeah

Meanwhile a 14900k can draw like 500w

[hazy frost]

32 threads

Ultra 9 by Intel is 8 + 16 and 24 threads

[tepid gulch]

I forgot they made their naming scheme absolutely stupid

[hazy frost]

Yes

Ryzen AI is the new top of the like laptop stuff from AMD tho

They just stuck AI in there

[tepid gulch]

A good use for Ai

Managing a processors clocks

[hazy frost]

They do actually have enhanced features in terms of AI but they’re just

Better processors as well

They announced the Z2

For handheld

[tepid gulch]

Laptop is all about power usage so amd will always win

[hazy frost]

Zen 5 cores RDNA 4 gpu

Actually getting the latest and greatest from them

[tepid gulch]

They're integrated stuff has gotten pretty decent

[hazy frost]

The Intel AI ultra mobile whatever tf they call it is slightly better than the regular ryzen ones sometimes now

But the ryzen AI ones are better than those

[tepid gulch]

Intel ultra ice cream shop super chocolate

[hazy frost]

But yeah handheld gaming could get really good soon..

It’s being used in the new Xbox handheld I think

Which says to me this thing is gonna cost at least $900

The current ally X is $800 and that’s just asus markup

[tepid gulch]

People are thinking 999

Which is ridiculous

[hazy frost]

Yeah I mean as a handheld I’m sure it will be worth that at first

[tepid gulch]

Im waiting for their next actual console thats gonna have steam

[hazy frost]

Until other companies get their hands on the hardware for theirs

And charge $200 less

[hazy frost]

Xbox gamepass is kinda unbeatable if u play more than 3 games a year tho ngl

£12 a month and some of the games are £60-70 each now

Sorry 10 a month

£120 a year

[tepid gulch]

Xbox making more on.game pass than from people.buying games

[hazy frost]

I’ve been tempted recently bc doom for £70 is taking the piss 😭

I think steam numbers are so low bc everyone’s playing it on gamepass due to that

[hasty harbor]

alright fellows
i have a question when it come to pc
so i got myself a nice AMD Ryzen7 7800X3D and a mother board thats fits it, now come the problem the cooler i have only support am4, any good am5 coolers thats worth getting
my case is pretty big

[lost python]

thermalright peerless assassin

cheap and more than good enough

[hasty harbor]

got any link for them?

oh thats its name

[sharp star]

ID-Cooling A720 also good but you have to contend with its noise issues

[hasty harbor]

i thought it was 3 dif versions

[sharp star]

yeah that’s the thing with Thermalright lmao

they flood the market with similarly performing and named stuff

[lost python]

well there is a black one, a white one, one with bigger fans, one with rgb.
doesnt mater too much though

[hasty harbor]

which one would you say its worth it

[sharp star]

The Phantom Spirit is also an option if you want a seventh heatpipe

the difference between the normal and SE versions is that the SE versions are slightly cheaper but the heatpipes are exposed, while the normal versions have covered heatpipes

that's for aesthetics

https://www.thermalright.com/product/peerless-assassin-120-black-v3/ this was announced at Computex lmao

[hot shadow]

none because i outgrew skyscraper fan

that thing is for people in their 20s and for scared beginners

[tepid gulch]

Koenigsegg just made an engine that makes 800 HP that only weighs 85 pounds

[hasty harbor]

rn im looking at these 2

[sharp star]

you can't really go wrong with either

[hot shadow]

if they're samey then you pretty much pick the one that looks nicer in your pc case

[sharp star]

imo go with whatever fits your budget and/or your case

[hot shadow]

and from whoever lets you do refund easily in case you hate it

[hasty harbor]

i can go a bit high, but im up for any tier, low, mid, high and end

of course

id look into these 2

[sharp star]

yeah then I'd probably suggest the A720

[hot shadow]

i would also care about how it attaches, some of them have an ugly bracket

modern ones are easier but not all

[hasty harbor]

what ya mean

[hot shadow]

i mean exactly what i mean

everytime i buy a heatsink in the past there is a small chance i wont like how it attaches

[sharp star]

I actually hate how the Liquid Freezer 3 attaches lmao

[hot shadow]

sometimes it's a twist with fingers, sometimes it's twist with screwdriver, sometimes there's weird hooks???????????

anything can happen

[sharp star]

I still use it because it's fucking sweltering over here in bumfuck Philippines

[hot shadow]

sometimes you need to keep the backplate from the previous one for some reason!

so it depends..

this is the gamble part, you won't know until you get it

[hasty harbor]

[sharp star]

https://noctua.at/en/drop-mito-mt3-noctua-keycap-set holy fuck this is ugly as sin

also lmao

[hot shadow]

hahahhaa it's a different weird brown

[hasty harbor]

if you wonder what i had before it was corsair hydro h100x

[hot shadow]

i guess it's chocolatey

at least it leans toward dessert color

[hasty harbor]

yeah i know its old, but my old cpu was intel i7 6700k (i had it since 2019

[hasty harbor]

mm tasty

[sharp star]

I don't remember when the 14nm memes started

I wanna say around Haswell or Skylake

[hot shadow]

i still have a ryzen7 7700x currently in this pc

dont need to care for several more years

[sharp star]

Yeah I'm on a 9800X3D

shit's amazing when undervolted

[tepid gulch]

I'm on a 7800x3d

[hasty harbor]

swagger

this is what im using rn, sadly it doesn't fit and only work up to am4

[sharp star]

Yeah I'm sure you can jury-rig it but it'd probably be better in the long haul to just buy an entirely new cooler

[hasty harbor]

which i am going to do
just need to fine a good one tho
im a brainlet when it come to this

[tepid gulch]

I use an arctic liquid freezer ii

360

[sharp star]

I'm using a Liquid Freezer III 420

[tepid gulch]

Nice

[hasty harbor]

this one?

[sharp star]

Yeah, that, but the regular one

Not the Pro SKU

[hasty harbor]

ah

i might need a new case if im going for those triple fans

this is the one i have

[sharp star]

god I hate those gamer cases of the late 2000s/early 2010s

https://www.antec.com/product/case/flux-pro this is mine

[hasty harbor]

looks nice

[sharp star]

The Lancool 207 and 217 are also very strong options

[tepid gulch]

Gotta update my chipset drivers

[sharp star]

https://bsky.app/profile/jeffgerstmann.com/post/3lr7brlekys2o INCREDIBLE

Jeff Gerstmann (@jeffgerstmann.com)

Nvidia drivers have gotten so fucked that developers have to check your installed version and pop-up links to hotfixes on launch. Doom did this and now Dune Awakening is, too.

I love the times we live in

However as someone who bought an Nvidia card before AMD upped their game I’m crying rn because nothing WORKS

[sharp star]

Nvidia drivers are so bad these days that they feel a lot more like STDs than actual fixes

[hazy frost]

Yes

I just wanted them to maybe have some fixes for what was going on in MH for me

But no..

[brave oxide]

they are getting ready to launch 100% AI generated drivers tailored to every game

[sharp star]

I just wanna talk to Jensen

dawg what did Tim cook this time

Why does he look like my sleep paralysis demon

[tepid gulch]

Tim Cooked

[hot shadow]

oh god the fuckin looking glass memes

[sly elk]

just apple things

the only thing I can add here is the magic mouse wasn't designed to be plugged in

they stuck the plug on the bottom so they didn't have to change the top shell

aaaand let's face it, so that people wouldn't leave it plugged in all the time

https://www.sohrabosati.com/blog/the-apple-magic-mouse-design-is-intentional-and-brilliant/

i think it' shitty because table lint will clog the port up lol

[dire viper]

Have they considered just like making a good mouse

Apple why even try

Give up

[neon shell]

Does anyone here know why this pops up when I try to turn on fps limiter in nividia control panel?

Would be nice if it actually said what the problem was in the error message

[brave oxide]

I could almost get a taste of all the boots this person ate skimming through this

I don't remember having this issue, and yet the links were purple... Odd

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1j8vlu0/nvidia_control_panel_access_denied_when_saving/mh9ckfi/

Did you see/try this?

@neon shell

[neon shell]

No I didn't

I'll check it out, thanks

[brave oxide]

Have Nvidia control panel closed when you do that

[neon shell]

alright

o7

Is there much of a risk if I mistake while doing this

I'm probably overreacting as I often do 😛

Wait nvm. I totally misread the comment lol

[brave oxide]

I believe that's where it saves control panel custom settings

So nothing irreversible

[dire viper]

My ass might be going to school for nuke tech

Seems interesting enough and someone needs to hunt down orphan sources

[sly elk]

LOL

this aint just boot licking it's deep throating them

it is the most bullshit mouse design though

i can't even use those fucking magic mouses

the last time i used one i got a hand cramp lmao

[hot shadow]

gotdam...

I'd love this but at the same time I'd hate trying to wipe it all the dang time

and also the initial setup

one wrong move and that shit on top will shatter

lol

[sharp star]

Apparently ChatGPT went down and

[sly elk]

@dire viper someone was talking about how mercedes used to be understated luxury and I was thinking about it. I think one of the most understated looking cars you can get for 100k is probably a ct5 blackwing lol.

it's just such a bland boring design. I still think it looks like a nissan altima

[wraith agate]

that goes into my Mandela Catalogue

[hazy frost]

If they get price cuts to like $200 they’ll still be good despite how stupid it is

Which I imagine is what will happen

It’s still cheaper than the 8GB 5060 so AMD once again just had to make a slightly less garbage product

Was more impressed by the 9800x3d doubling 1% lows over the 5800x3d

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

-# Reuters Legal (@legal.reuters.com)
Walt Disney and Comcast's Universal filed a copyright lawsuit against Midjourney on Wednesday, calling its popular AI-powered image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism" for its use of the studios' best-known characters.

[sly elk]

idk. as a software engineer you can make a lot more working at google or meta

errr I should have painted that picture differently

there is less profit margin in making that kind of stuff

but i'm talking in terms of space things I guess

outside of spacex, for example, there are a lot of companies that accumulated VC money to build rockets and then failed because they literally lit all the money on fire

Hey so I have one extra file that doesn't seem to be mentioned at all in the reddit post. The update.bin one. I'm scared to delete it. I don't know that much about this stuff

[brave oxide]

Everything in the Drs folder can be deleted and will be recreated

[neon shell]

ok ty

[neon shell]

I was about to say, this isn't the meme channel but then I searched up what midjourney is

[neon shell]

It worked btw. I was able to change my settings again \o/

[spring raven]

https://tenor.com/view/godzilla-let-them-fight-fight-ken-watanabe-watanabe-gif-5687182

[neon shell]

So I'm having this weird issue where I can run the game at 144 fps easily but when I go to a zone like HF my fps goes down and up from 144 to 50 fps. Anyone know what settings I can change to help with this? It's annoying me greatly

My specs are way above the dt recommended specs so it makes no sense to me why it would lag like this

[sly elk]

what kinda cpu do you have and how much ram do you have? you're using an SSD, right?

perhaps your computer is really strong in the GPU department but lacking in those?

[neon shell]

4060 and 16 gb ram. I'm using an ssd yeah

[sly elk]

there will always be framerate drops when you go from say, a quiet indoor map to a busy outdoor map with weather

4060 is the gpu not the cpu, what cpu?

[neon shell]

oh woops lol

misread that

[sly elk]

no worries ^^

sorry that came off more condescending than I meant it to xD

[neon shell]

nw

[sly elk]

idk about ffxiv but 16gb for a gaming computer is beginning to teeter on the low side. I'm not sure if upgrading that might help. If you were using like an i3 or something there may be room for improvement there as well

[neon shell]

I do have more ram slots

[sly elk]

honestly that's not a bad cpu

[neon shell]

I can always buy more ram if needed 😄

yeah ram is 16 gig

I followed this to a degree when I built my pc

do you think more ram would fix my issue then?

Also I'll stick with the zone acronym bc I don't wanna spoil ya

[sly elk]

it's ok XD I don't really play anymore, which was why I was going to say... i'd wait to see what others weigh in

your specs sound totally fine, and as I mentioned, busy maps will cause fps drops to happen

but maybe more ram might help, still I'd wait to see if others confirm that thought 🙂

[neon shell]

sounds good

[paper tusk]

could be a settings issue but hard to tell since only comparison I can cook on the fly comes down to finding the worst place in HF and going from there

try setting transparent lighting quality to normal, and Screen Space Ambient Occlusion to GTAO standard (instead of max/high)

[neon shell]

Where is the GTAO setting

[paper tusk]

bottom of graphics settings

[neon shell]

much better now

tysm

It was the lighting that causing problems

I set it to normal and now I'm sitting between 90 to 144. On occasion it does drop to 78 bc this zone is a mess of effects galore lol

btw is there much of a diffrence between normal and high quality? Or is it not noticable

[paper tusk]

if there is I'm not noticing it compared to reshade changes

[neon shell]

What’s your transparent lighting quality? Curious

[dapper nymph]

i wouldn't think it's a ram issue, im assuming this is either a ddr4 8x2 or a ddr5 16gb single stick

[neon shell]

Ddr4 8x2 yeah

[neon shell]

We use the same settings actually. lol

Ok ty again

[paper tusk]

np

[dapper nymph]

what drivers are you using

[neon shell]

Umm wdym specifically

[dapper nymph]

nvidia

4060

[neon shell]

Ye

[dapper nymph]

what drivers

[paper tusk]

the driver version (ex)

[dapper nymph]

unless you're zoning into heritage found during a hunt train, it shouldn't be dropping to 50 fps

[neon shell]

One sec

I’ll take a photo

[paper tusk]

can take a screen region with windows key + shift + S

[neon shell]

I used to have it at the latest drive but it just made 14 slower so I went back a couple versions

@dapper nymph

[dapper nymph]

i see it

i don't know what else could be causing that aside of whatever settings you have may be too high for the 4060

i do not think more ram will fix the issue even if it's running on default 2133 speeds

loading into HF except for a hunt train with max object quantity would not cause you to have prolonged periods of 50 fps

[neon shell]

Well this did seem to fix it

[neon shell]

the nvidia optimization program is telling me turn this off. Interesting

Umm I solved the issue. I was a dummy and forgot to turn off fps limiter xD

[sly elk]

ooo!

awesome!

[pliant sentinel]

Y'all, I have a possibly silly question.
I'm working on setting up a laptop, Windows 11.
I vaguely recall from years ago, advice to install software from an administrator account, and then actually use the computer from a different login. That's what I'm aiming to do. (May or may not also have another windows login on there for my partner.)

Can I do that with FFXIV? Will it cause any problems?

Surely the app doesn't have to be downloaded and installed separately for each user profile on a machine...
(Hoping someone has an answer b/c my internet isn't great, and that's a ton to download twice. >.>)

[brave oxide]

The default install folder (program files) is shared between users, but settings are stored in each user's documents folder, so different users will have different settings

[pliant sentinel]

Cool, thanks!

[sharp star]

I like how there’s plenty of stock remaining for the 8GB 9060 XT but none for the 16GB version

thanks Frank

[hazy frost]

When they’re inevitably ending up at like $200 they’ll still be good

It’s a stupid design to be limited but even limited by vram at a certain price they perform better than anything else regardless

Honestly a lot of the markets in that video look better than NA

It’s just American skill issue atp

[sharp star]

Even SEA for some godforsaken reason totally not related to current events

[hazy frost]

It also proves that all the Europeans crying online about ‘it’s a different market bro ok that’s why I bought this card’ are just wrong

[sharp star]

But we’re also getting used to taking it up the ass with silicon so

[hazy frost]

Lmao

I mean the 5090 is crazy

But the mid range and low end stuff is actually good there too

I swear European ppl be lying to themselves to make it feel better that they paid like €1000 for a 5070ti

I do wish they’d included like atl one Eastern European country tho

[earnest sedge]

Anyone else microsoft edge very slow

I would use firefox but all my bookmarked stuff and logins are on edge

[hazy frost]

just move them over

[real edge]

I never thought that paying 1100 euro for a 4080 would feel less of a scam

[hazy frost]

40 series purchases looking real good these days

People got a 4080 for €1000 and a 4070ti for like 650

[sharp star]

Yeah I think I'd recommend the 40 series in most cases anyway

[hazy frost]

Problem is Nvidia stock goes poof after new generation unlike AMD stock

[sharp star]

Yeah

[hazy frost]

Honestly atl 40 series if u had last years card you’d get smth out of it, if u own 40 series u get nothing unless u buy a 5090

[real edge]

[hazy frost]

Honestly..

That’s not a bad price rn

For Europe in general

Especially Greece right

There’s a 4090 near me for £700

Stolen or stupid

Definitely stolen looking at the profile but lmao

[real edge]

ye

cheapest 5080 is 1070euro

[hazy frost]

Tbf that’s actually pretty good lmao

With ur extra taxes that’s cheaper than they are in NA and some of Europe as well

The only way to get a cheap 5090 is wait for direct restocks from manufacturers atp

[slender hull]

ill stick with my 4090 rig and then switch to amds high end GPU offerings when it dies because of how scummy nvidia has become.

@cerulean talon know of any ways to help avoid windows updates just deciding to assblast the bootloader in the future?

[hazy frost]

It would be my overall choice and recommendation bc it’s actually cheap too

Idk if it’s available everywhere tho

It’s one of my favourite cases aesthetically but doesn’t match what I’ve got going so I’ve avoided it

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, install linux.

[dapper nymph]

how hard is it to install linux from win10

[hazy frost]

not that hard, just make sure everything u want to do on ur pc works properly on linux

before switching

[sly elk]

if you're going to do it on a desktop, i'd highly recommend getting another ssd and installing linux on that

so that you don't have to mess with your windows stuff or sacrifice it

[sly elk]

someoen made a random fb post complaining about that shifter knob

the worst part is the person complaining was the passenger lol

the knobs feel very different since one is waaay bigger

[hazy frost]

It’s still an insane design choice

Passenger gets in car and goes to turn the radio up

[wide hill]

a knob made this

[sly elk]

I think the problem is where they put it not that it's a knob

they should have recessed it further

[hazy frost]

Or not put it near the centre console lmao

Weird place to put a knob like that

[sly elk]

it's a van

the only other place they could put it is on the other side of the steering wheel by the door

usually floor consoles in vans are removable

or at least, not really setup to hold a shifter

though in a way I'm not sure why

the console in that van doesn't look removable, especially the hybrid version

the hybrid one pretty much looks like a normal car one

idk, i've driven a couple of those before and can't really say I had a problem with accidentally shifting lol

looking at it now i think the radio knob should've been where the radio is

it's goofy and not good looking anyway

why can't they just use a column shifter lol

when they used a shift lever it was weird too

almost looks like a slot machine lmao

the buttons i find even worse lol

the sienna one looks like a car, which I .. definitely approve of

buuuut omg that radio

[hazy frost]

It’s a stupid design tho

Like putting it there makes no sense

[sly elk]

that toyota radio should just be illegal

it's sooooo big

[hazy frost]

Even if people don’t have issues it’s still more of a chance than 0

[sly elk]

it looks just like the one the camrys i've rented have

i hate that radio so much lol

the buttons feel like a casio alarm clock

but other than the awful radio

the toyota interior looks the best >>

[hazy frost]

Tbf how often are u pressing buttons on the radio

It probably has CarPlay or android auto anyway so it’s set and forget unless u get a call

[sly elk]

then

why have that big ugly black border

[hazy frost]

Bc u still need buttons

And tactile buttons are infinitely better than screen no matter how crappy

[sly elk]

you know what's worse than all of that

capacitive steering wheel buttons

[sharp star]

Yeah I just went back to iOS 18.5

[green aspen]

Shifters? I have a racing wheel that's unused and may want a cheap shifter but I notice it's such a niche market that it's very pricey.

Though not many games have decent sims for practicing driving habits so getting a shifter isn't a big deal...

[dire viper]

the dial is not bad at all

idk for me its just whatever

it would be a deal if it was in a sports car

but otherwise its fine for a commuter

there also arent any big issues with em from what I know at the dealer

the transmission will probably explode before the knob will have any issues

[sly elk]

EHEHE i thought of something maniacal to do

take one of those dial shifters and retrofit it onto a sim driving rig for laughs

i suppose it'd be more fun to do that with an allison truck shifter

for that authentic city bus driver sim

I do think it's worth considering the 9060 XT over the 7600 XT if your budget still allows for it

Also availability

[dire viper]

9060XT exists?

It has availability?

[potent arrow]

we shouldn't be talking about a 7600xt if a 9060xt exists in that price range and availability

[sharp star]

It might be the greatest car ever made

Still the fastest naturally aspirated production car ever

Fastest naturally aspirated v12

Not even the early F140 powered Ferrari’s like the Enzo can top it

Its price reflects that and when you read what Gordon Murray has to say about designing the car it’s quite incredible

The engineering and accounting break down for the car literally was: The Best Possible

Chassis? The best possible. Engine? The best possible.

Chassis designed by McLaren itself, engine designed by BMW

Just like back in the old days, when McLaren was running 1000hp turbocharged BMW 4 cylinders

[neon shell]

Wdym by naturally aspirated? I'm not that much of a car person 🙂

[dire viper]

No forced induction, meaning nothing compressing the air

The McLaren F1 was also never designed to race but was lightly modified to race. It did spectacularly.

Both the cars in this video still exist. The Fina F1 is privately owned and Porsche still owns this GT1. I actually met the guy who ran Porsches maintenance crew for the werks race term and the 911 GT1 in this video is a car he personally worked on. Was very cool to meet him.

Wanna see a funny looking car that I saw years ago?

[dire viper]

Yes

[neon shell]

lol

[dire viper]

C3 Coupe

Not a split window. If that was paint, that paint job woulda been like 10-15k

Maybe more

Color shift pigment is incredibly expensive

[neon shell]

I'd assume so. I think he was taking it to a local car show

[dire viper]

I think that’s actually baller

C3 Corvettes are cool

I want one of the funny ones that came with a nascar engine, option code L88

L88’s have big hood bulge cause that’s the only way to fit the damn engine

[neon shell]

That looks nice!

[dire viper]

They were also raced in Europe

[wild wyvern]

Wait

The c3 body is nice tbh

if a video file has this in its overview, does that mean it is constant framerate?

[hazy frost]

what did they break t his time tho

[sharp star]

Everything

[dire viper]

They finally fixed the fucking recording bug that’s been a thing for months

Holy

[sly elk]

name that car

also wtf jalopnik

The Lexus RX embodies many of the same attributes that big sedans used to, all with a more ergonomically accessible height that doesn't require folks to climb up and out of a low-slung sedan.

BIG SEDAN?

the lexus rx is fucking tiny lol

but I do rather permanently associate it with old people because the first person I knew who drove a lexus RX was one of my brother's psychiatrists and that dude was old af

[hazy frost]

Americans

Smh

RX being tiny is definitely an American thing to say tho

It’s the normal size anywhere else

Tbf on the bigger side but not as big as the full size luxury ones

It’s the same size as a 5 series or E class

[tepid gulch]

Well yeah

Because it is

Europeans and your smol cars but yet somehow the Mercedes pickup truck is only available in Europe

[hazy frost]

Small cars and they’re just not tractors

American cars have gotten far too big to be reasonable

[tepid gulch]

Like this?

[hazy frost]

That’s ridiculous yes 😭

The Escalade always has been kinda tho

[tepid gulch]

750hp in a luxury SUV is dumb

[hazy frost]

If a pedestrian gets hit by one they’re never coming back either

[tepid gulch]

And the rich are usual the worst drivers too

And they're the ones to buy these

[hazy frost]

Like the difference between a defender which is basically the biggest car u see here and one of those is crazy

[tepid gulch]

36 inches of legroom in the 3rd row

Bruh

That's insane

[hazy frost]

It’s just stupid

No one needs this car

[tepid gulch]

Ofc not

[hazy frost]

And it’s genuinely a danger to other people
