It’s just them showing how much better of a store MC is compared to Newegg

rapid hollow
#

What

#

Technically yes because laptops do it but they have their own controller for such thing

hard drift
#

yes but the performance hit isn't that great 🤨 it's negligible unless you're running extreme displays.

rapid hollow
#

You could probably rest as long as you have 2 graphics cards because I don’t think of a reason it shouldn’t be possible

#

But also why would you do that

hard drift
#

....

rapid hollow
#

I think there are bigger priorities than the number of monitors

#

Multiple monitors are taxing but when you have multiple 4k’s

#

I don’t think another gpu would even help that

hard drift
#

It’s also just asking for more problems than it’s worth…

rapid hollow
#

I don’t think it would be a problem but consider the fact that you’re gonna have to run a gpu exclusively entirely for driving monitors and light work and have to manually set the actual gpu to do it’s work

#

So it needs to go from a gpu to another

#

It’s gonna be a bigger impact hit possibly than just eating up the perfomance decrease for running multiple monitors

#

You could even pass through mobo ports to the gpu on a Ryzen system with a G processor as an example

#

But it’s not worth it

#

microcenter is rull gud but you can't really consider it unless you live where I do

#

since they have like six physical stores in the northeast US

I'm going to the Penguins game at the Wild at the end of the month, so I plan on visiting the store in Minneapolis then

🙂 Edifier's amazon rep finally got around to my messages from last week. they're sending a replacement set of speakers out, yay! Hopefully that one doesn't make weird noise.

No idea

wide hill
#

imagine rebuilding all the drivers with the new certificates monkas

#

every driver has to be updated i guess

#

nvidia: "just use the new drivers"

#

but aren't certificates supposed to be password locked?

#

don't tell me the pk has no password

#

sounds like an nvidia issue

#

isnt it fine as long as you download from "official sources"?

#

don't download an nvidia driver .exe file which you got from your "discord friend"

#

ah, yeah i see

#

windows would see this and think "this is fine"

#

no virus here

#

there are too many npm packages

rapid hollow

#

i got an amd cpu and an nvidia gpu

rapid hollow
#

I just got an all AMD system

robust vessel
#

Intel and Nvidia

rapid hollow
#

Intel was worse than AMD for price when I built it and got attacked with some variant of Spectre every week

robust vessel
#

I just don't like AMD laughing

rapid hollow
#

Also nvidia was just
Pay for a rx 6600xt or even a 6700xt or you get a 2060 non super

wide hill
#

i got lucky and got 5900x on launch

robust vessel
#

I've had my 2070 Super before 30xx was out so cry

wide hill
#

well, it wasn't as scarce as the 3000 rtx gpus

#

oh yeah, i also too got the 2070 super

robust vessel
#

I love it

rapid hollow
#

i should've gotten a 2070 super earlier

rapid hollow
#

it was a non brainer

#

actually its more nvm

wide hill
#

my local webstore is only selling Ti's

rapid hollow
#

these are from the same store

#

without discounts

wide hill
#

lowest price is like 800 dollars for a 3060TI

rapid hollow
#

so like i think i can stomach AMD drivers for a difference of ~2 minimum wages

#

ironically i would've been fine to buy a 6900 xt for a grand-ish

#

just that i couldn't find any

odd sand
#

At the same time: If you download GPU drivers from some rando site, you kinda get what you deserve

rapid hollow
#

eh but just having a easy backdoor having the signature of the drivers means you can just download some type of project/game and get fucked

#

not that downloading games you wouldn't get fucked if it was a reliable source but now its just more prone to it

#

people should just be more careful when installing games from sources now tbh

#

and anything that could include a driver

jaunty light
#

Depends when it was signed

#

Mostly big problem for any certs signed before 2015

#

Then again what ms calls deprecated probably means it still works as it used to vivsmug

odd sand
#

That's the problem with script kiddies

#

You want to push them to opensource and release the drivers, okay fine

#

But releasing the cert just hurts everyone

jaunty light
#

"Hackermans": Open source code nao!! We have hax0red all ur datas!
NVIDIA: No.
"Hackermans": WE WILL LEAK OLD CERTS!!
NVIDIA: lol ok

Security is expensive and time consuming so everyone skirts it

I'm like 99% sure the step up quote I received mentioned tax

#

lol

#

I keep saying don't do it >>

#

are you really desperate for the extra vram?

#

there are other reasons I suppose

#

like the multi-card link thing works on only the 3090

#

the 3090s, iirc, don't have LHR

#

lol

#

they already received it?

#

should have put it in a steel cage to make sure it wouldn't get crushed if a truck ran over it

#

lol

#

how did evga package it whent hey sent it to you

#

mine was in a brown box that was barely any bigger

#

it may have been in a plastic bag but there were no seals on the gpu box

#

lol i coulda swore there's a gpu company that doesn't even use an anti static bag

#

maybe asus?

#

they do that with their motherboards >>

#

mine came packaged kinda like this

#

i think it had a piece of plastic but I can't remember

#

looks like asus does use a bag for the gpu at least

jaunty light

Yea they bag GPUs still. My past few MBs have not been

Maybe my asrock amd board was

Some seem to use a bag and others use vacuum molded plastic

I think my 770 was a bag. I don't remember about the 1660

All my asus cards were bagged

i'm surprised they don't just use an esd box 😄

i think my tomahawk was bagged

i put my capcom play system 3 in that bag

I’m sure that Amazon knows they’re burning through employees fast

So they’re annoying everyone to work for them

Offers may be enticing but working under a batman the animated series cartoon villain isn’t that good

LOL

#

I dunno, Jeff Bezos gets a lot of shit but I don't feel like he's any special kind of evil

#

not sure he's done anything worse than say, walmart, which is terrible, but still

#

yeah

#

but it's on par or even often slightly better than how most of their competitors treat their workers

#

which is still dog shit

#

I've argued on the internet about that exact rebuttal before "just because most warehouses treat their employees like shit doesn't make it ok. nobody should be treated like that"

#

(edited to fix)

#

mmm

#

MS during the balmer days sent indians to my school that only seemed to want to hire other indians

#

IMHO the fundamental principle that made MS unattractive to me is still true

#

the company builds products for IT sysadmins to manage and companies to buy from each other and micromanage their employees via

#

I still don't think MS makes anything for end users in mind

#

with stuff like WSL and windows terminal it does appear they finally cracked the end user suggestion box open 😄

#

but that seemed born out of necessity

#

"Sir we can't let these damn millennials keep convincing their managers to bring macs into our enterprise organization!"

#

"I... I thought the developesr were satisfied with Visual Studio Team Center Foundation Edition 26!"

#

MS: "Introducing Github 2.0! Now you can use group policy to choose which developers can commit to which repositories!"

boreal surge
#

Yeah iirc I once asked why macs when I interned and it boiled down to 2 things:

  1. Better Corp management tools
  2. unix

Macs are pretty damn good for some use case scenarios and MacBooks are class for anything that isn’t gaming, especially the new ones

Well tech company so not an option for e.

Imo still overpriced for spec by buck, unless you really want those retina screens

Doesn’t matter what it is you’ll always pau the Apple tax unfortunately

BUT a m1 mac air is under a grand and that one is pretty damn good

My company's mac pro constantly tries to fry my lap whenever I work.

Yeah it’s a Intel mac pro probably lol

modest moss
#

did I just miss a conversation where an MS employee thinks they have the moral high ground over other bozo tech giant corps?

sly elk
#

newer mac laptops cut off the mic/camera when you close the lid

so if you keep the laptop closed it won't be able to listen/see

#

They wouldn't let him defer the coop bc of the surgery? Seems like something a doctors note is good for

#

My favorite thing about MS this year is how they change, rename, and move around the actions in Security and Compliance Center every 1-2 weeks!

#

Also how the results window for Exchange admin review is like 5 results high and CANNOT BE RESIZED

#

I'm sorry, 5.5 results high ... so you can just barely see the next one but can't interact with it

#

I don't even remember anymore. They keep moving their shit around

#

There is stuff that was under security that was then moved to compliance, that was then moved entirely out of the domain to Exchange admin

dreamy chasm
odd sand
#

Then of course there is the shit hiding in Portal and MCAS

#

Most of which isn't quickly accessible via the Waffle

#

You just have to have the different URLs memorized and bookmarked etc.

#

I assume it's the problems caused by being a giant monolithic company where each subdomain is a different team with their own product mgmt and teams

#

So everyone has their own ideas on what is best for workflow and where different things belong

#

Another recently favorite: You can now (finally) log into Exchange Online via Modern auth ... you just can't use any cmdlets that aren't EXO

#

So in a case where GPO blocks basic auth on your machine ... you have no recourse to accessing Message Trace

#

Which is like, the most useful tool in all of Exchange Online lol

#

Bc as far as I can tell, it's the only 100% reliable listing of mail flow, and it's fast too

#

The regular search via the GUI is built off some sort of index it compiles

#

But under heavy load that means it doesn't actually list all emails received, so when you're trying to track down malware or phishing etc. you can't be sure you're seeing everything without the MessageTrace/MessageTraceDetail

#

And running a compliance search every time is a waste of time bc you have to sit waiting around quite awhile for those to finish

#

I left that position a number of months ago, so it's already getting a little foggy, but that was my rant lol

#

But if you did want to, to make it more concise: Since related tools are now spread across multiple subdomains and domains, it would be nice if you could jump between them via the Waffle similar to Office having all their related apps under one menu

#

SCC, Exchange Admin, Portal, MCAS, etc.

#

Email search under SCC: Results window should be resizable, or at least grow in size if you flip closed the graph. Instead it just floats the tiny results window to the top of the page.

#

And lastly: Machines looking to be more secure by disabling basic auth lose access to MessageTrace/MessageTraceDetail when connecting to Exchange Online powershell via purely Modern auth

#

I don't understand exactly why, but I suspect it's bc the modern auth token still needs to be passed by basic auth bc winRM doesn't support modern auth

i mean

which a lot were expecting this to be a more budget friendly version of that

sly elk
#

the funny thing is it's a 5k 27"

#

from the bezel thickness I wonder if it's the same damn panel from the 27" iMac

rapid hollow
#

When I looked at the XDR monitor I didn’t think the studio would even be comparable

#

I really just saw the studio monitor as a iMac version of the monitor

sly elk
#

that makes sense

#

they used that name for their monitors before

rapid hollow
#

I’m impartial on hdr because who would be watch that much content that hdr would be a deal on that monitor

#

Hdr is better handled on phones and big TVs

sly elk
#

like up until the cinema display, anyway

rapid hollow
#

it should have more than 60hz because its just way more fluid and doesnt make your monitor look clunky and old when everyone and their mother have 70hz or more

sly elk
#

I don't disagree

#

again, I think they just stuffed the 27" imac screen in there lol

rapid hollow
#

and a better stand because fuck having shitty basic ass monitor stands

#

for the price it has, there is ironically better options

#

its not like the 5 grand XDR where it had the convenience with macs and actually was great

sly elk

?

#

I do think the extra $400 for the height adjustable stand is total BS

hard drift

it's better than their 1k one for the xdr monitor haha

sly elk
#

it's mostly the same stand lol

rapid hollow
#

which fucking monitor do you buy at 1.6k that doesnt have a BIT of height adjustment

sly elk
#

as far as I can tell the only difference is the $400 stand doesn't have the magnet attaching it to the back of the monitor

rapid hollow
#

my old ass 2007 4:3 lcd that was somewhat well priced had it

sly elk
#

well, here's an argument

#

most people who would care about that, would just buy the vesa version for the same price

#

and just pop it on their monitor arm and not care

#

you could also just do that, and get a cheap height adjustable stand (though it'll be ugly af)

the lack of proper features being sold with the base product being solved by just do it yourself

"Just dont buy it" is the stupidest argument i had for a very expensive premium monitor lacking such a basic feature

now that I think about it some

the price really is awful xD

I spent $1492 for a 34" ultrawide and 2 25" monitors

jaunty light
#

Shame!

#

$1500 4k OLED or bust!

sly elk
#

to be fair, my monitors are really low res by comparison

#

5k is annoying lol

#

the cheapest 5120x2880 monitors I know of are still like $1200?
vs 3840x2160 for like $300

#

like no doubt the 5k screen picture quality will make my 34" 3440x1440 look like crap 😄

#

but 4k UHD has 56.25% the amount of pixels that 5k does

#

it's pretty funny 😄

#

but the 5k screen has 72.43% the amount of pixels the 6k screen does

#

man 4k is a great marketing term

#

"It's only 1 less than 5k! It's almost as good!"

would be easier to have stuck with the horizontal res (1080/1440/2160/2880) but hdmi specs is the same level of stupid that gave the world "usb 3.2 2x2"
