this is why I have a pc

sly elk
#

they do have a bench seat option on the silverado

deep sapphire
#

And as far as I’m aware only the work truck trims have it

#

Yeah on the W/T only

sly elk
#

i bet anyone can still buy them though

deep sapphire
#

They can yeah but why you would want one if you weren’t a fleet owner is beyond me they are very bare equipped lol

#

Single cab, hardly any creature comforts just a basic ass truck

#

And as a single cab owner

#

You feel cool but

#

They really suck

#

You can’t store shit in it

sly elk
#

let's face it, what we need is a suburban 9 seater

deep sapphire
#

LOL

#

I love how the suburban is on the Hollywood hall of fame

sly elk
#

i wonder if those still have a bench seat option

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

lol

#

maybe the gmc has it

#

ah ehre it is, yukon xl fat people mover

deep sapphire
#

Remember when the Suburban had a HD chassis option

sly elk
#

sadness. nope.

deep sapphire
#

Sad they got rid of the 2500

sly elk
#

what is wrong with these people

deep sapphire
#

A 2500 burb would be a good work vehicle

sly elk
#

so how many teenagers get one of those as their first car

#

(the one with 9 seats, of course)

deep sapphire
#

Hand me downs

sly elk
#

lol

#

those are basically the SUV for horse people

deep sapphire
#

Pretty much

sly elk
#

i wonder if there was ever a dash concept without that top storage box

deep sapphire
#

Yeah the 95 model didn’t have the airbag there

sly elk
#

ooo i like how this one has ash trays in the back back

deep sapphire
#

It was just a flat top

#

That’s what my interior looks like but gray

#

That red is sexy

sly elk
#

OH WOW TIL

deep sapphire
#

You can smell the cigarettes

sly elk

#

I can smell dying grandpa and cigs in that photo

deep sapphire
#

Based

#

Yeah 96+ had dual airbags

sly elk
#

the airbag thing is such an afterthought lmao

#

I also remember those 90s style 'cup trays'

#

if those are anything like the ones I remember, it's not a cup holder per say

#

they're too shallow

deep sapphire
#

Middle to late 90s interiors were so bad

#

Specially GM

#

GM in particular has never had good interiors lol

#

Like why are they so cheap in designing them

sly elk
#

I've always been a seat person lol

#

like I remember when I was a kid somebody in school's parents had a durango and I was kinda envious because the seats looked really nice and squishy.
That was nothing though., a few years later the lady my mom hired to give me rides home from school had a lincoln mk viii

#

that car had great seats lol

#

they don't look that amazing though

#

i need to go find myself an old maybach or something

deep sapphire
#

Toyota has pretty horrible seats I’ve noticed

#

They’re so fuckin stiff

sly elk
#

this is one of my favorite things about my wrangler yo

deep sapphire
#

My mom has a Tacoma and it’s like is this thing made of plastic or what

sly elk
#

the seats are nice and soft

#

not as soft as old car seats but

deep sapphire
#

Americans know how to make seats

#

After all we are all fat and lazy

sly elk
#

you kinda need the seats in the wrangler to be squishy though

#

it's a bumpy ride lol

modest moss
#

!faq juicy

opal pantherBOT
deep sapphire
sly elk
#

so the street i'm on, going a few blocks south is REALLY bumpy because there's these old trees inthe middle and the roots mess up the road even after they pave it

deep sapphire
#

Do you even go off reading

#

Roading

sly elk
#

can bounce out of your seat on that street

deep sapphire
#

Fuckin phone

sly elk
#

nah what for

deep sapphire
#

Smh

sly elk
#

fuck my jeep up? i think not!

#

haha jk I'm not totally above the idea

deep sapphire
#

MOAB BABY

sly elk
#

but i'm not going into mud. or deep water.

deep sapphire
#

Where’s your snorkel bro

sly elk
#

lol reminds me of this one post on the hmm gladiator forum i think

#

dude slammed his jeep into the mud and killed it

#

oh yea th is one

deep sapphire
#

Lmao

#

What an idiot

sly elk
#

apparently it broke their alternator, and that's at the top of the engine

#

sooo...

#

oh i found the forum post

#
#

it's basically 27 pages of everyone calling OP an idiot 😄

deep sapphire
#

LMAO

sly elk
#

to be fair, the commercials do, without a doubt, advertise this kinda stuff

hard drift
#

probably go after false advertisement or something

sly elk
#

if you go into deep enough water you're supposed to change the fluids i think >>

#

I dunno

#

it just generally seems like not the greatest idea

modest moss
#

I don't think she's in the wrong tbh

#

they literally run adverts showing jeeps blasting through mud

hard drift
#

10-20% increase namazuconcern

modest moss
#

nah I'll buy a standard ps5 when the pro drops and the standard gets a tad cheaper

#

buy a used one from a nerd who upgrades maybe

hard drift
#

lol maybe

sly elk
#

hmm what would i get

hard drift
#

i see the ps5 pro being higher for price

sly elk
#

xboxes have forza...

#

but then there's all those jrpgs

modest moss
#

ps5 + a medium range laptop and use that nvidia streaming thing maybe

sly elk
#

but i already have a nice pc so whatever

sly elk
#

-pets nice pc-

#

i probably could've bought 6 or 7 xboxes

#

one for just the rgb alone

#

one for the case, three for the gpu

modest moss
#

can't all be shit like stadia

hard drift
#

yeah, as long as it's not stadia haha

sly elk
#

that's 5 xboxes right there

hard drift
#

geforce now is pretty good when you pay for it, and xcloud is nice because gamepass so you don't have to buy games

sly elk
#

heh maybe i should just do another bumble profile

#

stand next to my computer and be like

#

if you don't like my pc swipe left

modest moss
#

actually my next gaming pc will have a 3090 in it, when my mate buys a 5000 series and sends me his 3090 out of pity, lol

sly elk
#

that's a legit concern

sly elk
#

for all those 'dog moms'

#

at least my pc won't shit on the floor

#

because the wall or the roof leaked or a pipe leaked

#

and the water got into the outlet

sly elk
#

fyi if someone wants a reall yoverpriced gpu, zotac has some in stock again.

#

i think you can do better with scalpers

#

yep definitely cheaper things on ebay

hard drift
#

if only i could even use ebay haha

odd sand
#

Yeah it's kinda disgusting ppl aren't calling out the AIBs more for the pre-scalping but what do you do

sly elk
#

the thing that stuck with me most was how dirty the floor was in that truck

#

oh man I haven't heard a post beep like that in far too long

#

bah that's it i'm buying apc speaker

#

i wanna know what my asus board's beep sounds like

sly elk
#

?

#

maybe

modern iris
#

what armor is that?

warm mesa
#

Xbox series s costs as much as a rx 6500 xt

#

Amd definitely isnt price gouging here, ridiculous thought

wintry jacinth
#

Most newer GPU msrp's cost as much as a console tbf.

#

Only problem is managing to get one that's more powerful than the latest consoles right now with all the stuff going on.
Because most prices rn are so wack that older GPUs are costing as much as a Series X while being as good as a normal One X/S

untold onyx
modest moss
#

I think the Hrothgar may be beginning to suspect something...

jaunty light
umbral moss
#

🤔

#

I'm still extremely confused on why AMD thought that 6500 thing was a good idea

#

did they just find a bunch of broken 5500 GPUs in a closet somewhere and decide to ship them as new?

jaunty light
#

Monies

umbral moss
#

if they're brand new GPU chips, why in the fuck did they waste any fab time making them

hard drift
umbral moss
#

🤔

#

but they spent money and fab time on junk

#

that seems so wasteful, even as a prove-in for the process

hard drift
#

yeah but atleast you can buy them 😭 not that anybody should

dreamy chasm
#

Probably just to fill in that currently nonexistent market price point

hard drift
#

yeah but that price point is dead pretty much now... unless the 3050 is that good

dreamy chasm
#

The 3050 won't be msrp

#

Probably will be scalped to all hell

umbral moss
#

the blasted post-miner hellscape we live in where you can buy a $90 bargain bin GPU for the low price of $200 before tax and shipping

jaunty light
hard drift
dreamy chasm
#

Also have covid shortage costs to take into account

#

I don't think amd is making much money off of these lol

hard drift
#

lol yeah

umbral moss
#

honestly, they could probably get better returns on their fab time selling xbox APUs with dead CPU components haha

hard drift
#

at msrp the 3050 is a steal compared to the 6500xt more than likely

dreamy chasm
#

Either way, gpu is shit but shit is better than having a 5800x or a 11700kf with nothing to power it.

hard drift
#

also nvidia doing stupid advertisements too

dreamy chasm
jaunty light
dreamy chasm
#

Then continue on to selling for 400

umbral moss
dreamy chasm
#

Like every gpu with an msrp

#

3050 is probably a response to Intel dg2

#

But, idk

hard drift
hard drift
jaunty light
hard drift
#

so nvidia wins

jaunty light
#

You can't prove that. Superior AMD technology enhances memory access!

hard drift
#

it'll just get decimated by the nvidia gpu

dreamy chasm
#

pci gen 3 bandwidth on x4 is the saddest shit

hard drift
#

the 6500xt is literally DOA

dreamy chasm
#

At least its in stock, I suppose

jaunty light
#

Inferior nvidia product needs software to upscale the jraphics because it sucks!

hard drift
jaunty light
#

A true insult to the eyes, "1080p", it lies, this is xbox 360 quality!

hard drift
jaunty light
hard drift
#

amd literally cost themselves the low end war 😔 could've raised msrp a bit more and had more to compete

hard drift
#

and it can run x16

jaunty light
#

All benchmarks are fake unless ran by lisa

hard drift
#

so the 6500xt literally DOA 😭

jaunty light
#

Finally the return of the 6950

hard drift
#

it's just so bad for consumers to keep refreshing the shit for little to no gain and probably increased prices

I meant @odd sand

#

He’s tagged as muted

modest moss
#

aha, I didn't notice

sly elk

probably dropped a link in here or used the short version of the word for the thing cars use to connect the motor to the drive wheels

#

that one has gotten every car enthusiast in here before.

late basalt
#

I don’t think it’d be a link

sly elk

i dropped like a daily mail link once XD

pretty sure that was othe one that got me muted once

i think it had a forbidden word in it

Trying to find 2.5G networking adapters is apparently difficult. Any of the namebrand ones appear to have been discontinued in favor of 10G. Despite, ironically enough, onboard networking on higherend motherboards has more recently just reached 2.5G

Decided I'll run pfsense in a VM on my home server after I move. Had the PAN-220 from work, but switched contracts and had to give it back

sly elk
#

if I did this all over again I'd probably get stuck on that task again too

pfsense on an old sff machine at this rate is cheaper than a dream machine 😄

I actually saw this truck last week

Cracks me up it landed on Reddit

#

I would’ve gotten a pic but I was driving

jaunty light
#

Who was driving it

deep sapphire
#

No idea lmao

jaunty light
#

A 5'2 manlet?

late basalt
#

I’d specify a size a bit more than that, but considering the decals on the driver’s door, enough said

#

The funny part is that it probably got shit mileage before this

#

But now it’s extended, and a dually too

deep sapphire

I think it’s pretty funny, that takes skill to custom fabricate something like that

sorry, let me be more clear, should I update to windows 11?

deep sapphire
modest moss

but there's no rush

I'm not yet

I'll wait for a service pack

heady forge
#

service pack?

odd sand
#

They don't do SPs anymore.

#

Maybe you mean like the 22H2 update?

modest moss
#

they do the equivalent, they just call them major updates

#

right

late basalt
#

tbh, i wouldnt bother upgrading unless win11 offers something crucial that you absolutely need to have that win10 doesnt offer

sly elk
#

i'm reminded of something

odd sand
#

Win10 falls into that Win7 realm of it works moderately well

sly elk
#

i forgot who the person was but they were in the news for doing something really dumb and dying. they had 6 kids

#

it's like a rule that when somebody is dumb as a brick, they have a bunch of kids

odd sand

There are some nice things with 11 though, like the improved multimonitor and window support, cleaning up the clunky start menu etc.

you reminded me of a thing

sly elk
#

someone went to sell their used laptop and someone offered to buy it and it was an obvious scammer

#

back then apple made iBooks and PowerBooks

#

so this dude decided to counter-scam the scammer

#

and played along, and sent this

jaunty light
#

Seems legit!

sly elk
#

i can't find a video of it anymore but it did get delivered and by power of the internet, some people in on the joke decided to hang out at the delivery location

and they had a video of the reaction of the scammer opening it

I finally found a monitor that isn't overpriced to all hell

#

that's a lot of words to describe that it has vesa mount holes

#

@odd sand Have you ever heard of the monitor brand koorui? @ . @

potent arrow
#

Smh

#

Off brand monitors smh

odd sand
#

Nope. Never heard of them.

modest moss
#

based on one reddit thread they're ok

odd sand
#

Any weird noname ones tend to be B-stock of ones like LG or Samsung, etc.

dreamy chasm
#

I'll take B stock panels

#

I just want a working monitor

#

It's like

#

120 bucks for the 75hz 1080p panel

#

They also have a 27" 1440p one for 200

#

Which doesnt seem too bad

modest moss
#

they're probably fine, is it from a place you get warranty/returns?

dreamy chasm
#

I'll have to check

#

1 year warranty

#

30 day refund/return if defective

modest moss
#

I'd be reluctant from a rando seller, but if it's a decent retailer then take a punt

dreamy chasm
#

seems to be a verified store

#

So I think I can probably trust this

#

Though, I'll double check local online stores to see what they have in stock too

modest moss
#

even on aliexpress their 'official store' has 0 feedback

#

I'd be reluctant

dreamy chasm

late basalt
#

hell, settle for a tv if it's cheap enough

dreamy chasm
#

A tv is one thing I won't get

#

I'll just go used at that price

late basalt
#

lets get real, is there any significant difference between a "monitor" and a "tv" at that price point?

hard drift
#

yes

dreamy chasm
#

If I get used or a half decent IPS panel new?

#

Yeah

late basalt
#

then you arent after a working monitor

#

you're after more than "just" a working monitor ¯_(ツ)_/¯

dreamy chasm
#

Aren't you a smartass

#

anyways

#

I'll check and see if there's anything else in the price range

#

It's either the p2414hb or the koorui panel at this point

late basalt
#

🤔 amazon not an option either?

late basalt
# sly elk

i swear i've watched the show this is from, but for the life of me i cant place it

dreamy chasm
#

u tell me

#

lol.

modest moss
#

oof, I went to look at the cheapest 24" ips monitor on aliexpress just to see what's what

modest moss
#

monitor £60, shipping to UK £30, changed shipping to where I think you are and shipping jumped to £100+

sly elk
#

oh it is lol

#

ya know what's great about apple. for $5000 you get a monitor with many holes on the back. But no vesa mount holes.

#

for that you need a $200 adapter.

odd sand
#

If all you want is A Monitor™ it should be pretty easy to find one for cheap on amazon. Or even whatever UK has for craigslist

dreamy chasm
#

im in narnia

sly elk
#

for all the ranting apple cultists make about how that's a TOOL FOR PROS AND PROS USE VESA MOUNTS OK!? it should have fucking came with a vesa mount on the back

dreamy chasm
#

shipping costs make buying from there not worth it

modest moss
#

that's her issue, she lives miles away

dreamy chasm
#

#

at least

modest moss
#

kinda weird that China wants triple the shipping though, I guess they have more crap sent here overall

sly elk
#

heh

odd sand
#

Most monitors come with a vesa mount, don't they?

sly elk
#

guys i think we found out why video cards are so expensive

odd sand
#

They're made out of ground up NFTs?

sly elk
#

nah thye're using maxed out mac pros to design the websites

#

naw cheap monitors don't have vesa holes

#

ah ever been in /r/battlestations and seen a pic where someone had a monitor that did, but they used those clamp things anyway

dreamy chasm
odd sand
#

It's not surprising they want the price of an entire monitor for a clamp when the stand is $1000 and the monitor is $5000 I suppose. Once you're that deep into copium, might as well take them for all they're worth.

modest moss
dreamy chasm
#

yeah

#

We have some providers here that offer better shipping rates from china

#

So

that is the classiest looking room I've ever seen that had a mining rig in the corner

dreamy chasm
#

Yeah, that one

modest moss
#

only 60hz but probably not dreadful

dreamy chasm
#

I have a 60hz panel, I don't mind them

#

The closest thing to "intense competitive gaming" I play is ffxiv and monster hunter lol

modest moss
#

yeah I'm fine with them, but the youth tend to be all 10000000000hz or bust

dreamy chasm
#

I'm meh on it

#

I'd rather have better colors and contrast

#

Every 144hz panel im my price range is going to be dreadful anyhow

modest moss
#

yeah they'll be shit tn panels probably

dreamy chasm
#

There's this sanc brand that seems to be going around on one of my local sites

#

mmh

modest moss
#

I like ips, they're pretty

dreamy chasm
#

Same

modest moss
#

my pinks gotta be rich and shiny

dreamy chasm
#

I'm fine with VA or IPS

#

I'd like to avoid TN if possible, though

modest moss
#

I googled sanc monitor and they actually have a manufacturer website, that koorui didn't

dreamy chasm
#

neat

#

Most of their stuff is 200 bucks but

#

There's some cheaper 75hz panels

#

There's also nvision with lots of reviews on some of their stuff.

#

120 bucks for their 75hz ips panel

#

Shit stand, but seemingly decent panel (?) with vesa mounting holes

modest moss
#

sounds like it has potential, check warranty/returns, if they're good about that it may be worth a gamble

dreamy chasm
#

I'll be remounting both the new monitor and my current dell one once I can afford to, I think

#

Just a simple 2 monitor mount, probably

#

1 year warranty, 30 day returns

#

Seems reasonable enough

i'm not planning on gaming at 4k, its mainly for like story games which i could do at high which will probs not be as insane as running 4k maximum everything

but its mainly a viewing monitor

#

since i got a high refresh 1440p which i pref for gaming

odd sand
#

Don't get a 4k for gaming unless you have a topend system. Not worth the fps hit

blazing summit
#

its not for gaming, just something that has a high resolution for youtube or just watching high res video

Even console 4K is a misnomer

i got my 1440p high refresh monitor for gaming

odd sand
#

If it's for productivity and the like then sure I guess. I use them for work

boreal surge
#

Well your gpu has to do extra work to upscale that 1440p pic to 4k though no?

blazing summit
#

huh?

odd sand
#

Not really

dreamy chasm
#

You know, as bad as the 6500xt is

#

It's probably the closest thing anybody has to being able to make a gaming computer for under 700 bucks

#

That isn't 5700g based

blazing summit
#

i'm just not happy with it having 4gb vram and only runs at x4 of the x16 pcie slot as well as the 64 bit memory bus, those things just absolutely kneecap its overall performance

#

the rest of the card is pretty decent but i guess those flaws are what keep costs down

dreamy chasm
#

Much better than a gt 1030

#

Though, you still should cop a 580x 4/8gb / gtx 1650 etc if you're able to cop one for around the same cost

dull garnet
#

You know it's fucked when you're justifying the 6500 XT

dreamy chasm
#

The market really is fucked right now

#

And it's fucked that what I'm saying actually makes sense

blazing summit
#

i'm just fortunate that i got a 3070 before the market went crazy

dull garnet
#

Building on a budget just doesn't make sense rn

#

😔

blazing summit
#

and they almost quadrupled in price

dreamy chasm
#

You can still get cards for msrp

#

It's just

#

Really fucking hard

#

Impossible if you're outside of the US

blazing summit
#

i mean its not terrible

#

in the uk but thats on ebay

#

which is quite dodgy kek

dull garnet
#

If you're in the UK get a bot to notify Nvidia store drops

#

Friend got a 3070 for MSRP that way, I got my 3060 Ti that way too

blazing summit
#

no idea how to run a bot tbf

#

so i'm stuffed

dreamy chasm
#

Before the cost of a gpu, a 6500xt will bring this to 700 or so

#

Actually the first time in years you can get a "budget" rig going

#

lmfao.

dull garnet
#

Well, you don't need to run a bot. There are discords that can do that for you and notify you as such

dreamy chasm
#

Hi Sarah

potent arrow
#

: P I just wait my turn and I'll get the cards....

#

Hiii cyan

#

I'm just gonna forget the 6500xt exists tho

#

Straight into the poo pile

dreamy chasm
#

I mean

#

What else can you get for 200-230 these days

#

A gt 1030?

potent arrow
#

At that point I can use the multiple rx480 or even the few 580 I have kicking about

dreamy chasm
#

Oh, I meant this in the context of a new builder

#

Those cards would work better, yeah

potent arrow
#

Only reason I would use anything with that power is for clients who want to do mild Photoshop/premiere stuff

#

Otherwise I do the ole

#

Slap the Apu in that bitch

dreamy chasm
#

The one thing I'm wondering at this point is why Intel hasn't bothered releasing a 12th gen cpu with xe graphics built in

Probably can't manufacturer any with good yields atm

#

The only cheap SSD brand I'll mildy accept is Adata

#

The other ones bring untold suffering

#

I had a client's machine with some china brand SSD confusing the pcie controller causing his gpu to wig out

#

Spent 8 hrs before I noticed that shit in event log

dull garnet

Imagine not having g-sync

blazing summit
#

is g-sync a must use? never bothered with the gsync stuff but my display is g-sync capable

dull garnet
#

It is variable refresh rate, so a must if you value image quality

#

Your monitor will have a range of frames it is active between

My own is like 45 and 165 fps

if it rode just a tiny bit higher it'd be a very nice ride height

as it is, I wonder how it handles

AHH I was just reminded of something really stupid that I used to hear a lot on the jeep forums

whenever someone complained about handling there were people who'd recommend getting a lift kit and meatier tires
