[hard drift]

that's asking for a lot lol

[trail flame]

Question, I'm getting 1200usd in government stimmy in a few months that can be spent on anything local.

Would it be possible make a nice pc with this as budget

i haven't been tracking prices since the 1080ti was a thing

[hard drift]

do you have a micro center nearby?

[trail flame]

i live in hong kong

everything is nearby

:D

[hard drift]

i cannot speak to hong kong so idk

[sick edge]

Wasnt it amd who tried to do something like that though? not intel. they might still be since they have that APG now

[trail flame]

assume having access to parts isn't a problem

we have an excess of ps5s still

somehow

[hard drift]

assuming you can get things at msrp, yeah you can build a good system for that

[sick edge]

I dunno whag the texh proces would be in the motherland no...

[trail flame]

Anything to recommend?

I would prefer something more compact

since I dont have a lot of space (hong kong wee)

[hard drift]

still wouldn't count on it but we'll see

[sick edge]

that being said Korea had the posted noctua 3070s and we havent heard anything since....

so maybe even the motherland has problems.

Uuh.. I foegot which motherboards qere for smaller buolds but those probably...

itx?

its the form factor... thingy.

[real edge]

3xx mobos will now support 5xxx processors

it depends on the motherboard manufacturer

[sick edge]

that dell inspiron though... never again. XD

[glass wadi]

i may have made a poor judgement and bought something i didn't actually need

but oh well

new monitor

[real edge]

what model?

[glass wadi]

prism+ x270

i bought it cause i thought my old monitor was dying

i checked the power source and fiddled with it so i thought it was the internals

turns out it was the power source

so i'm buying a new plug to try it out

if it works im gonna sell the old one it to a friend probably

[real edge]

I have never heard of that monitor before

that is usually a bad sign because I am pretty up to date with the market

seems to be a singapore local product?

[glass wadi]

yeah

https://fxtwitter.com/Focke_3/status/1471864763953324032?s=20&t=-lVtbkFR6vGXUI8mZREajg

[real edge]

I cannot see any of the response times(tested, not marketing bs) anywhere on that monitor on any reputable review site

nevertheless, I hope it works well for you

[glass wadi]

me too

[real edge]

seems to be a VA display

if you want to test the monitor then go to blurbusters

see how smooth the UFO is

https://blurbusters.com/category/testufo/

disable the stars

so that you can see dark smearing as well

if its too blurry or there is too much dark smearing

then I would suggest returning it

[glass wadi]

yeah i did that, works fine

there's nothing wrong with the new one

hdr tints it a little but i think that's just normal

[real edge]

if its hdr400 then its not worth using

[hard drift]

Hdr on most monitors isn’t worth using

Too few zones to get a good experience without some easily noticeable problems

[glass wadi]

if anything i don't think i would have found the power source problem with the old monitor

since i didn't have any other cables that fit to be able to check

[deep sapphire]

Rigid makes pretty good stuff

Lifetime warranty too

Maybe that’s only in the US? No idea

Yeah I guess it’s not technically a warranty but Home Depot will ship it out for repairs for life I think

Not sure how well they uphold that but yeah

Milwaukee has a good warranty at 5 years and their power tools hold up well

But rigid is half the price

[umbral moss]

yes, but mostly because you can't achieve proper fuckbright white levels without pulling up the black level to somewhere around "dolphin grey"

HDR isn't a thing as long as you can't actually achieve a high dynamic range

[potent arrow]

@tame fulcrum I mean my paslode nailer is pretty good I have a 3.5" one for framing and a smaller flooring paslode for hardwood.

Not cheap tho

Oh lol you are talking about miter saws

I personally use my dad's DeWalt or my festool if I'm doing finer work

[umbral moss]

I need a good set of volume wood cutting gear 😔

using a hand saw to do miters sucks

[odd sand]

LTT selling me on QD-OLED but spicy price as expected https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-34-curved-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3423dw/apd/210-bcye/monitors-monitor-accessories

[hard drift]

if only it was smaller and not curved 😭

[modest moss]

so a completely different monitor?

[sly elk]

the price isn't bad?

they were hovering around $1100 on slickdeals/buildapcsales

[hard drift]

basically lol, i don't like curved and i don't like wide

[odd sand]

Being 34" it's not particularly curved or TOO wide imho

My friend has the G9 Neo and while it's impressive, I don't know if I could handle that as a daily driver

The curve is like 6-9" deep end to end it feels like for 49"

[hard drift]

i mean yeah it's not too bad i just prefer flat/ typical monitor sizes

[potent arrow]

Eat shit and die the best monitor is this shitty 4" one I found on amazon1!1!1!1

FULL HDR

[kindred brook]

I wish I had a monitor that could transform

from ultrawide

to 4:3

some games benefit from ultrawide

some benefit from 4:3

pepe hands

[sly elk]

I'm all over the place on that

part of me wants a large 4:3 tv

I also think ultrawides are... kinda useless tbh

[kindred brook]

there are some nice CRTs

for retros

[sly elk]

and I say that as the owner of an ultrawide

[kindred brook]

nah Ultrawide definitely has advantages

I used to be part of ultrawide gang

it sucks for streaming

[sly elk]

one thing that makes me legit angry

is that nvidia's multi-monitor-combining-for-games thing doesn't work if your screens aren't all the same res/shape

that's fucking bullshit yo

fuck nvidia for that one

[hard drift]

amds does 😎

[kindred brook]

dood I was all over that

when first eyefinity launched

even bought the 100 dollar adapater

[hard drift]

adapter???

[kindred brook]

yeah you needed

an "active" monitor cable

or some shit

[hard drift]

weird

[kindred brook]

this was

like 2000 tech

https://techgage.com/article/amd_updates_us_on_eyefinity_announces_30_cable/

this was HUGE

[hard drift]

rip

[kindred brook]

@deep sapphire

I WAS REMINDED OF THIS

lololol

I gave into the hype

I still got my 100 dollar cable

I had 3 HP monitors

https://www.amazon.com/HP-W2408H-24-inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B0013AHADQ

I think I had 3 of these bad boys

[odd sand]

Funny how the definition of widescreen has changed over the years heh

Sidenote: given the random nature of tech questions posed over the months/years ... I really wonder sometimes if ppl think we're an official squeenix discord or something lol

[late basalt]

Probably

[hard drift]

partnered means official so it must be /s

if this was an official server we'd get away with a lot less lmao, not to mention the wrongful mutes/bans and such

[odd sand]

We already "get away" with a lot less bc of it being partnered

Whenever that got reinstated

[hard drift]

nah, it'd be even worse if it was official

SE gms and shit are garbage

[late basalt]

First thing to happen if it was an SE discord is ed getting yeeted out the window

[hard drift]

Rip

[odd sand]

That's pretty much all official discords. I've yet to find a single one I could tolerate being in

They divide content into so many subchannels and infract for being off-topic left and right to the point nothing of substance gets talked about. The only channel that moves is the general chat filled with shills gushing about nonsense in the game in circles

Worst example was I was trying to talk about what I liked/disliked about a game and had comparison images. The images had to go in the media channel, and they yelled at me for "mentioning other games in general chat" and expected my comparison to write half the sentence in general chat and the other half in off-topic lmao

:OmegaLUL:

[sly elk]

good grief

[dull garnet]

yare yare

[odd sand]

Actually, it's only the AA/AAA that are that bad. I remembered I'm actually in a few indie ones like for Satisfactory or DRG and Timberborn and they're fine

[sick edge]

SatisfCtory should be fine, the whole company memes. XD

[odd sand]

Sigh... I need to talk to our project lead I think. Looked back through my paystubs the last few months and stuff is still messed up

Apparently got a small raise last year in Sept I wasn't told about, then on Jan1 I changed contracts and the first paystub was very low, bumped up slightly for the 2nd half of jan, but still lower than before the new years, and supposedly we were supposed to be getting a raise to even more than what I had last year and that certainly hasn't happened yet still =\

[sharp kernel]

Should I buy it or keep waiting for prices to get lower?

[odd sand]

Only you can answer how badly you want/need a card now

They're going to continue coming down in price over the next couple months

[real edge]

gpus will continue dropping

3080 is already 1k euro or under

[dull garnet]

Torvalds?

[real edge]

point is: wait

[odd sand]

Sorta... you have some cheap ones at small shops in Greece you said, but that isn't what im seeing elsewhere still

[sharp kernel]

Thank you guys

[real edge]

4 month price progression

different card

[real edge]

yea that is odd

but I still have seen a steady decline over the past few months

the electricity price hikes will make mining too expensive now, couple that with how energy hungry graphics cards are and you're gonna see further drops

proof of stake is still on the horizon for etherium

and new gen graphics cards will release later this year

Q4 2022/Q1 2023

[hard drift]

New cpus and gpus otw late this year

[real edge]

what I say is a prediction though

not fact

[odd sand]

There are new ones every fall though, aren't there? At least for CPUs. GPU I guess are every 2 years

[hard drift]

It’s safe to assume considering intel is in fact coming this year at least

[real edge]

so my prediction is that the best time to buy would be after next gen gets announced

we may see prices finally drop to near msrp levels due to low demand due to the next gen being near

and market may get flooded with old cards

due to ppl selling them for the new gen

[umbral moss]

evga had cards at MSRP for a few hours today

not just insta-sniped

also, consider that a lot of rule 4 shit has happened in the last six months and there's a huge drop in GPU demand as a result

[odd sand]

I thought evga was still doing the signup and you get emailed?

Or do they drop cards every wednesday now?

[umbral moss]

I think it was a direct drop on the site, since there was an article about it

they were like "GPUs are staying in stock! the siege is over!"

[deep sapphire]

Glad some of us waited

[hard drift]

I mean i have 0 regrets

[deep sapphire]

Not you

[hard drift]

100x less problems than 5700xt

[hard drift]

Then who lol

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

We know you won’t upgrade :p

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

Original take

[deep sapphire]

LOL

[hard drift]

3 times in the span of one minute

[umbral moss]

4090 GPU next january? 🙏

[deep sapphire]

Why buy a new GPU when you can buy this

https://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Performance/809/19432060/10002/-1

[hard drift]

Don’t think about it lol

It’ll be worse than current power draw

[umbral moss]

maybe my 1000W PSU will actually get used then

[odd sand]

What does evga define as MSRP these days for the 3080 cards?

[umbral moss]

$1250?

isn't that the MSRP for the 3080 ti?

[odd sand]

I think the FEs are 1199, but I was wondering about regular 3080

[hard drift]

3080ti has no msrp

[hard drift]

Regular 3080 is like 700msrp

[odd sand]

I checked their site and their prices are actually their original MSRP plus the tariff markup that I don't think has been dropped yet still. Cmon Joe

Pleasantly surprised.

[umbral moss]

gotta keep that trade war going because that's how you get people to like you, make their shit more expensive

personally, I'm a big fan of the 40% increased prices because of someone's temper tantrum

honestly, I just want to get through the 30 series so I can build a new PC

oh yeah, intel's thing that will be about as good as the XGI volante

big pog

[sick edge]

Ive been kn the 3070 waitlist for a year and a half now... good lucm

[umbral moss]

even if intel gets their shit together and arc isn't a dumpster fire, it's still going to be a long time before they hit retail channels

[sick edge]

for evga specifically

[odd sand]

IMHO they intentionally released the 12gb just so they could inflate the price to AIBs

Do they even make 3080 10GB anymore?

[sick edge]

I mean there was their decision to sell 3050s

[umbral moss]

12 should be the floor for GPUs these days

[odd sand]

Isn't the 3050 somehow worse than a 1050ti or something?

[umbral moss]

table stakes for a new GPU in 2022, 12GB of VRAM

[sick edge]

But also i believe all the newer gen gpu models have smaller vram onboard or skmetbing yeah

[umbral moss]

get away from me with these shitty ass 8-10 GB things

[sick edge]

didnt kne kf the first 3090s have like... 24 gb or something ridiculous?

Us

[odd sand]

There was talk the 3080ti was supposed to have 20 I think, but they cheaped out and gave it 12

[dull garnet]

don't they all have 24GB?

[sick edge]

Not anymore I dont thi k

[dull garnet]

looks to me like they do

[odd sand]

3080ti is pretty shit though. over 50% higher MSRP for 2gb VRAM and like 5fps gains @ 4K

[umbral moss]

there's really no value add in the higher tiers of the 30 series because of how close they are to the thermal throttle

[sick edge]

huh maybe it dodnt affect the 3090s... they were p there in price anyway.

[umbral moss]

even under water the 3080ti/3090 are crippled on the GPU side because of the TDP limiter

[odd sand]

Zotac is kinda the lowest tolerable brand for GPUs. They're like 1 step up from PNY heh

[umbral moss]

PNY is hot garbage lmao

I remember I had a PNY ti4200 that died after like 18 months

[deep sapphire]

[umbral moss]

you think I won't hold a grudge against a company for 20 years?

[dull garnet]

frankly I didn't even realise PNY were still around

[umbral moss]

I refuse to buy apple products because they bricked my ipod touch with a firmware update in 2009 and their solution was "buy a new one"

[odd sand]

PNY has always been meme-tier quality

[umbral moss]

ultra

[odd sand]

He only paid triple what I paid for my 3080 to get 10fps on me woot woot

[umbral moss]

can we ban marketing from saying or using "ultra" for the next 50 years

[odd sand]

fidgets nervously looking at the Z390 Aorus ULTRA box

[dull garnet]

you're okay... don't play the new world beta

[umbral moss]

oh yeah, that's ULTRA performance pogggggggg

[dull garnet]

ultra price tag

[umbral moss]

big price tag, neckbeard performance

[dull garnet]

lost ark is awful

[sick edge]

Really? I heard it was mechanically fun

lots of zurg rushing though

[sly walrus]

so many bots

Which I guess if youre into that

isnt that every asian mmo?

every asian mmo released in the west, pretty much

i just really really hate how it controls

[sick edge]

every asian mmo in asia. XD

[dull garnet]

and an isometric camera

ew

[sick edge]

.... isnt diablo isometric?...

[dull garnet]

yes

[sick edge]

You realize how hard it is to keep track of telegraphed animation outside of isometric?

ah so its just a personal thing for you. fair enough.

I dont like how valorant plays. But everyone else loves it so.

[dull garnet]

gomen

I didn't install valorant bc of the drm lol

[sick edge]

its... an online game.

[zealous wolf]

its extremely difficult to even play a game with isometric views due to years of being spoiled by 360 degree based games....

[sick edge]

strategy games......

im trying to think what yoh mean by 360

[zealous wolf]

uhh, like FF14 for example...

like the camera isnt stuck in 1 position like Lost Ark/diablo...

[sick edge]

you mean.. first person?

oh third person

[sly elk]

levels of sanity

3080 > 3080ti > 3090

[sick edge]

I mean, it's not so much spoiled as it lets tbe game focus on other things

[sly elk]

wait it's like that 3 headed snake meme

[zealous wolf]

seeing those makes me feel slightly paranoid....

[sly elk]

3080, 3080ti, 3090

[sick edge]

Shouldnt that be raytraced?

God rays derp face

[sly elk]

lol

yes the image should improve from left to right

but we're talking 10% improvements

[hard drift]

tariff won't be be going away anytime soon most likely 😔

[zealous wolf]

ended up looking at some uh benchmarks for the 5600x, and well...

seems like it shadow realms the 2600x and 3000 lines...

[boreal surge]

Yikes.

Also I swear everyone I worked with in tech is married and has/is currently having kids

[dull garnet]

it does

[jaunty light]

Im single and ready for kids, lets go

[hard drift]

yeah, 5000 was a huge improvement especially over 2000

[hard drift]

don't do it, kids are evil

[jaunty light]

We can have kids too

[hard drift]

🤨

not a chance

[dull garnet]

in this economy?

canned laughter

[boreal surge]

No I’m pretty sure most kids don’t give their parents severe and legit burns.

[hard drift]

oh i for sure do

[boreal surge]

Well specifically toddlers.

[zealous wolf]

too expensive to raise a kid tbh...

[hard drift]

true

[zealous wolf]

plus if i wanted my own child, id have it grown inside of a future birthing chamber in a hi-tech tube...

instead of future partner dieing from childbirth...

even i myself wouldnt want to be pregnant either...

hence the idea of a hi-tech birthing chamber...

[hard drift]

not allowed atleast not yet

[zealous wolf]

until the tech gets there, which i am hopeful...

[hard drift]

i mean even if tech was there not allowed because it's considered unethical or something along those lines

[zealous wolf]

wouldnt be ethical if you want eliminate childbirth related deaths....

countless tbh...

theres prob again, countless reasons why...

The US version of this is some tax free education investment account. Any withdrawals for college expenses for these are apparently tax free.

I don’t think govt matches shit in the US.

But I’m here on a student visa, so I know jack about finaid details.

[odd sand]

Never heard of any matching for stuff like that

[boreal surge]

I’m assuming icehunter is in canada...

[odd sand]

The only matching you might get of any kind are companies that match funds put into 401k up to a certain amount

I forget if my company is 4% or 6%

[modest moss]

not mine tbh

[odd sand]

To be fair, 401k for most people maxes out at like 18% a year, which you have to be making A LOT or live like a miser to put that much away and still have decent spending money

And if you cap that, there is always the Roth IRA or dumping it into Index funds

[boreal surge]

I only have one for the free money from the company.

[modest moss]

"I don't have an accountant" but doesn't mention an investment advisor, lol

[boreal surge]

Well not being able to yank out your money at a moment’s notice is a big risk. Esp if you ain’t staying here.

[odd sand]

Yep, take at least as much as you have matching for bc its free money, but beyond that really depends on how much risk you want

[boreal surge]

Well everyone’s things have dropped bad in the last 6 months.

looks at Meta stock

[odd sand]

How much 401k dips depends on if you have one where you choose where the funds broadly are put

If you micromanage it more, you can avoid the worst of the major dips in the market by shifting it into bonds or something else conservative while the market goes wild

But if you don't think you're good at that, just let it ride since it's going to be in there for decades

[potent arrow]

•~• don't even know what a 401k is

I'm too young

All I know is to abuse my TFSA

[odd sand]

[odd sand]

Yep, that's the one downside to fully online stuff like Coursera: Need a lot of willpower and dedication to see through it like a normal school

Easy to slack

Pluralsight is the go-to site for Microsoft-related certs

Udemy has curated classes for pretty much anything, but you have to take the certs separate

That's a pretty nice quote from Silent Cal. All I know about him is "nothing of particular note happened during his presidency" heh

[sick edge]

Or give up cause you're lazy and probably won't amount to much.

Oh I KNEW that was a name from somewhere.. yeah, president. XD

Yup, on me. Not like the pressure wasn't heavy enough

So you're saying.. a relationship fixed your issues.... thanks. That's so easy...

#singlelyfe

XD

But love sounds to be a requirement... 🤔

And the love isn't gonna come from me so.... I believe that's called the krebs cycle.

I mean closed loop.

Sorry, been watching a lot of Glaucken-something on youtube shorts.

Still dunno what the krebs cycle is

[sly elk]

You don't want to depend on someone else for validation

but at the same time, there's no need to gatekeep yourself away from having relationships with people

[buoyant falcon]

So weird how every so often them YouTube auto-subs will be able to accurately transcribe a sentence that I'm unable to understand myself.

I hate the fact that they're the best chance most people have about learning about rally these days

the astro even had a v8 option at some point I think, and those are rwd

4 wheels be overrated

[boreal surge]

Whathisname? Ken Block? He was pretty eh when pitted against all the EU RX/rally drivers

And I'm talking about when he actually raced with ford factory, not brough an updated escort to rally mexico (which I will admit is cool)

[modest moss]

my cousin's husband has some decent racing experience, few drives in british touring car championship, bunch of titles in manufacturer specific racing

[deep sapphire]

I dont think the astro had a V8, I know the Ram Van had the 5.2

I don't know about the v8, but GM had some tricks for making FWD not torque steer so horribly

but I think it IS torque vectoring

daily reminder when the modular engine first came out in the mustang it only made like 180 hp while the camaro made almost twice that

Quick question, do electronically controlled differentials exist?

[sly elk]

I mean it can accelerate surprisingly fast if you slam your foot to the lfoor

like it'll apply the brake to the slipping wheel

[deep sapphire]

no I mean, all 3 american automakers have automatic 4WD which engages the transfer case if it detects traction loss

[sly elk]

OH

you can even get a wrangler with that 😄

[deep sapphire]

fuckin Toyota, cant believe I gave them 500 bucks

[sly elk]

(it was something introduced like a year or two ago)

I don't have it on mine hahaha

eh does your state not allow you to cancel the order and get your deposit back?

[deep sapphire]

im sure I'll have to fight them on it

or do a charge back

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

how you gonna offer a fuckin off road spec vehicle WITH NO FRONT TOW HOOKS

AND THEN SAY "OH THE DEALERSHIP CAN ADD THEM"

[sly elk]

uh

i'm surprised you didn't think all this through 😦

[deep sapphire]

LIKE GEE THANKS MY 70,000 DOLLAR TRUCK NEEDS A 5000 DOLLAR PACKAGE

well in my defense based on previous trends I didnt think it was going to be priced so horribly

hell nobody did

I was expecting like high 50s

[sly elk]

i'm surprised the dealer took a depos... wait no i'm not some dealers are scumbags

[deep sapphire]

pretty much

[sly elk]

at least it was only a $500 mistake

[deep sapphire]

there is a heavy rumor going around

that they are making a Tahoe SS

[hard drift]

ss?

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/surprise-shock-shocked-dwayne-johnson-the-rock-gif-11210067

[deep sapphire]

SS is chevy's performance vehicle designator

[hard drift]

ah

[sly elk]

didn't they already make an escalade V?

a Tahoe SS makes sense

might drum up some interest in it

because the current model i don't think has the same cachet the old ones did

Tahoe/Escalade used to be the NO QUESTIONS ASKED BIG SUV

like you could bet someone like the rock drove an escalade haha

supposedly they didnt wanna call it an SS because SUVs at the time had high insurance premiums so they called it a Limited

[deep sapphire]

[deep sapphire]

thats exactly why they think one is being produced

but im sure it'll cost 90,000 dollars

god forbid anyone be able to afford anything anymore

oh lol

what tool is that?

ohh

have you tried the card out yet?

put it through its paces?>

[odd sand]

Everyone and their mother is getting an O11 atm it seems

I dunno what I want to do with monitors. I have this 240hz 1080p, but if I got a widescreen, it would be a waste as just a side monitor for discord or something

Rather just buy a cheaper 60-75hz panel for that

Considering mounting it on an arm I can pull in front of the ultrawide to use for FPS games and such

[sick edge]

O11?

[sick edge]

careful not to vortex I guess. XD

you can always adjust the fans and find out

[odd sand]

I guess I should have checked more closely when moving in. I just assumed Spectrum was my only choice here, but I just talked with the maintenance guy and he says 80% of the building is on ATT Fiber

I guess that's why TDS fiber never happened here bc ATT squeaked into the area

Going to call them today and set up an install appt and tell Spectrum to take a walk

[umbral moss]

It’s $1,599 and adjusting the height is another $400

#justapplethings

[sly elk]

newer building!

[sly elk]

AND one of the cables is permanently attached!

[umbral moss]

[odd sand]

Sorta. It was built in like 2010

And they definitely didn't have fiber in the area back then

But who knows, maybe the builder was forward-thinking enough to lay dark fiber into the building

[sly elk]

yea the power cord appears to be permanently attached

the thunderbolt cable is not, thankfully

@odd sand I think new buildings built in existing AT&T areas get fiber, even if the existing buildings don't have it in the area

I've heard of it with houses before

though I doubt they'd run fiber to a house by itself xD

but like, a small tract of new houses in an at&t area would probably get fiber even if the neighborhood around it doesn't

if I didn't already have 3 monitors that in total cost me less than the $1599 studio display, I'd probably buy one

as for the $400 stand, I somehow get the weird impression it really costs that much to make

but 3lbs of aluminum isn't worth that much hahhaha

I don't get it. the iMac g4 had a similar kinda arm but was even better because it had rotation instead of just the dual pivot action

[umbral moss]

for what though?

it's a 5k/60 display with a single backlight zone

no HDR

no VRR support

it's not like it's some exotic ultra-wide gamut panel tech that justifies the 60hz since it can cover 95% of the theoretical color spectrum

it's not a reference monitor, just old stock that apple couldn't get rid of since they discontinued the computer that used to be attached to it

[sly elk]

i know huh?!

yea it's also 5k though

the only other 5k screen is $1299

and comes in a shitty plastic case and looks gross

and 5k is not just "1 more than 4k" it's almost 50% more pixels

they should've at least made it 75hz I think

[umbral moss]

almost as if one more "k" is a huge multiplier 🤔

[sly elk]

but I think beyond that they'd run into bandwidth issues without doing some kinda weird compression

[umbral moss]

the LG ultrafine is also way behind the times

[sly elk]

yea

[umbral moss]

there was a lot of interest in 5k when apple announced the 5k macbook thing, and then everyone was like "nah actually"

[sly elk]

idk

take alienware/samsung's 3440x1440 QD-OLED right now by comparison

everyone's acting like it's the second coming of christ but it's hot garbage

hot steaming garbage compared to a 5k 27"

3440x1440 34"ers came out for the first time back in like 2012

[umbral moss]

I mean more that nobody has tried to make a newer display

[sly elk]

the desktop screen technology industry is garbage

[umbral moss]

QDOLED is desirable because of the increased lifetime and contrast ratio, mostly

it's not because of the size or resolution

[sly elk]

and it kinda always has been

[umbral moss]

if anything, the fact it's an ultrawide makes it less desirable

[sly elk]

they still sell 1080p ffs

[umbral moss]

because people need $50 monitors to display excel

[sly elk]

te only reason people shit all over the 5k is because 1337 g4m3rs n33d m0r3 fps

[umbral moss]

not everyone is looking to blow a mortgage payment on slightly higher resolutions

that you end up negating with hidpi scalars anyway

[sly elk]

idk

[umbral moss]

since windows native hidpi support sucks absolute shit

[sly elk]

I think higher dpi > HDR

[umbral moss]

and it just magnifies the screen

[umbral moss]

honestly, color quality and refresh rate are the two things that have the most visual impact

high resolution means nothing unless you're well inside the visual resolution range of the subpixels

like watching a 1080 display that's 120 inches diagonal

no shit that's going to look like ass

the difference between 120 and 218 is pretty close to non-existent when you're sitting 6 feet away from a 27" diagonal

[sly elk]

LOL

I disagree on that one

but I'll concede this

for a gaming computer I'd want the 34" alienware

for a work computer i'd want the 5k >>

really i'd want the 6k 😦

[umbral moss]

without fixed dimension windows there's no value-add for higher resolution

for the same physical screen size, what do you gain with MORE PIXELS besides making your GPU sad

[sly elk]

i mean 34" 3440x1440 isn't as bad as 24" 1080p

24" 1080p is awful

[umbral moss]

yeah

[sly elk]

also idk

[umbral moss]

27" 4k is terrible though

teeny weeny eye strainovision

[sly elk]

windows hidpi is at least vector scaling

but windows apps are shit at handling it

[potent arrow]

Me sitting here with a 35" 1080p

[jaunty light]

Wats wrong wit dat

People will inevitably use scaling and turn 4k or 5k into 1080p (maube 1440) that looks nicer because of density but is no better for productivity

[solid dirge]

Technically speaking, a rock attached to a stick is technology.

Discuss the rock attached to the stick.

Not a spear: those are sharpened rocks.

[sly elk]

oy believe me I don't think I can legitimately justify it

except I did use an imac with that 5k screen for about a week and it was a really really nice screen

though after 10 years of existing it really should cost half as much 😦

[sly elk]

I think it's also kinda insulting because they sold the exact same screen in an iMac for 1799. Then again the computer that came with it wasn't worth more than like $400. and you count inflation. and there we are. haahahahah

[odd sand]

kitchen needs a full remodel. screams 80s heh

Range looks nice though

[umbral moss]

electric oven 😤

begone, gas range

[odd sand]

At least make it induction

[umbral moss]

induction is mad cool but it's kind of annoying since it requires special pots

power boil electric tops are good enough honestly

how often do you need to flash-boil water

[odd sand]

Living like a heathen heating up the entire area instead of magic magnets directly heating the pan

[hard drift]

electric sucks ass

[odd sand]

"special pots" being any pot set that isn't a $100 walmart special

[umbral moss]

you need pots that have the induction coil in it, which isn't "every pot"

[odd sand]

My original pot and pan set I think is just aluminum, but I do have 2-3 frying pans that are ferrous

I haven't heard about requiring some sort of special induction coil inside them, merely that they needed to be magnetic/ferrous, but maybe I'm wrong.

[umbral moss]

I remember seeing pots listed that are specificall for induction cooktops

even steel or iron ones

I assumed there was something unique about them that a normal pot doesn't have

[odd sand]

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/cuisinart-chef-39-s-classic-pro-11-piece-cookware-set-in-stainless-steel/1061984493?categoryId=12063

$170 for the set and compatible with induction, assuming "compatible with all types of cooktops" includes induction

It's entirely possible you could include an interior layer specifically tailored to induction that would theoretically make it more efficient. But all that's required for induction to work is they be ferrous. Although some brief googling says there are some stainless steel that arent induction capable

[umbral moss]

probably non-magnetic blends of stainless

[odd sand]

I've got one of those Red Copper skillets and a nice emerilware 3ply sauce/frying pan (emerilware is just a rebadge of All-Clad)

If I ever need to take on a robber, that thing is sturdy af heh

[umbral moss]

get a cast iron skillet

make smashed melon at midnight

[odd sand]

Unfortunately I don't think they make emerilware anymore, or at the very least it's not an all-clad rebadge anymore or I would get more of them

My new apartment once again has an electric coil range and not even ceran top. What is it with good apartments giving shit ranges

[umbral moss]

my new oven has a glass top with heaters on it

two power boils

[odd sand]

I think what I'm going to do is buy a 2-element induction hotplate and put it over half the range after taking the two coils out

With the coils removed, that's an extra half an inch of height, so with the hotplate there it shouldn't be too high off the top

[umbral moss]

also, apartments are still run by shitheads looking to make a buck, so you're lucky you even got an oven

and they didn't just leave a milk crate with a sign that says "hope you like ubereats, idiot"

[potent arrow]

Bollocks

LG gram 14" time REEEE

[odd sand]

It's so silly bc the cost between a coil range and ceran top is like maybe $100-150

[umbral moss]

yeah, but that's $150 they could, you know, not spend

[odd sand]

They're already spending like $5M on the building or something, so what's another $5000 for some decent ranges

The irony is the "step down" apartments across the street actually have ceran top

[sly elk]

I see you've met my landlord 😄

[odd sand]

I've thankfully never had a bad landlord. Maybe that's because I've never lived in a large city

Pop around here is like 300k and even my lower income apartment years ago: They were old but well maintained and always came out to fix stuff within a day no questions asked.

[dull garnet]

oh heck yeah my neighbour had some edutainment magic school bus game on pc

[odd sand]

The sad thing is they censor stuff like that from kids, but at very young ages let them see inappropriate stuff on TikTok or Youtube etc.

My nephew has started saying damnit in like 3rd grade which I did a doubletake on lol. But it could be worse. I remember in college, there was a town park next to the dorm and I swear I heard 2nd and 3rd graders dropping F-bombs while playing basketball lol

And they wonder why younger ppl are falling for fake news and being radicalized now: It's because they haven't let them read about the unsavory parts of history

[dull garnet]

censorship and the internet always makes me think back to all the internet safety mechanisms in place by ISPs back in the day. I used to only have access to a limited AOL profile

[zealous wolf]

cause they dont know how to fucknig parent thats why....

[sly elk]

ah my mom has a story about this. back in the day when we had to take the bus everywhere she saw this cute little kid like just barely old enough to talk on the bus

said "what a cute baby!" and the kid said

"uck you"

[zealous wolf]

even i was disciplined when i was a kid for those things too....

[sly elk]

then later on the bus ride some other kid said something and the baby looked over and said uck you to the other person, too

like that's all they knew what to say XD

[odd sand]

lmao I mean, at that point they probably don't even know what they were saying

They might have thought it was just a normal greeting

Yeah, that's the way to do it at that age

[boreal surge]

It is admittedly weird, people aren’t willing to teach seemingly inappropriate stuff with context but let kids get exposed without context on the internet

Also it feels like they’ve stupefied kids cartoons.

[zealous wolf]

and then they have the gall to say "tHiNk oF tHe cHiLDreN!1!" to enact stupid shit when its their own effing fault for being a shitty parent....

[zealous wolf]
