Granted all you needed to do to get the XOC bios of Galaxy was viod the warrenty

#

You send them a copy of the SN sticker.

#

And they void the warranty internally and give you XOC bios.

ashen spindle
#

I mean I'm most likely going with sapphire this time anyway but still going to miss seeing the KP cards

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

I have never tried for a 30 series but EVGA wanted HW bot profile previously

astral haven
#

I mean previously it was posted on tins website lel

vagrant pagoda
#

lol

#

that was a while ago

astral haven
#

1080ti
980ti

ashen spindle
#

20 series too I think

astral haven
#

Yea I think so too

vagrant pagoda
#

the 1080 bios was only public after it was leaked though

#

and only because people were flashing the wrong bios and bricking cards

#

but yeah it was atleast there

ashen spindle
#

completely forgot something I hope amd doesnt to on launch again

#

locking down the chips till the XTX versions were out

vagrant pagoda
#

yeha

ashen spindle
#

still dont get the point of it

vagrant pagoda
#

money

ashen spindle
#

wasnt made into a limited edition or bonus, just randomly at first and the the normal sku version

wheat plume
#

Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are now available for pre-order <3

#

I may get

#

Good I waited and didnt get the 6A then

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume ohhh

wheat plume
#

Oh?

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume why only 4k battery

#

Booo

#

I was gonna say this and that is rough but then I saw it was ยฃ600

#

@pale sigil damn.... That pro screen

#

@wheat plume

wheat plume
#

Hmmm???

pale sigil
#

Pixel 7 pro

wheat plume
#

I may get

#

Lemongrass color looks neat also

empty wren
#

Anything special about the pixel watch

wheat plume
#

Really shitty battery life apparently

#

according to leaked code

#

There is a code for a popup to appear before bedtime to remind you to charge it overnight

#

Does that mean it wont do Sleep Tracking???

crimson wigeon
#

Bruh

#

How can it be so bad

empty wren
wheat plume
#

^

#

most Xiaomi phones much cheaper than this have much bigger batteries

#

and most other phones from Chinese brands

empty wren
#

Not only that, they charge faster as well

#

21-23w is not much more than 18w

pale sigil
#

Yes but the camera and CPU don't usually compare

empty wren
#

I mean there a few phones that do now

#

But alright so far as Xiaomi goes fair enough

pale sigil
#

Xiaomi always fall flat with cameras

#

And other stuff like usb c 2.0

empty wren
#

I mean usb c 2.0 is not so bad, I am sure a lot of people use wireless transfer

pale sigil
#

It is for me pepecry

#

I can't drive my headphones pepecry

empty wren
#

Oh I see

ashen spindle
#

usb2 is horrible lmfao

pale sigil
#

And yes it's so slow

ashen spindle
#

the physical connector is the expensive part so it doesnt even save them a lot

empty wren
#

To be honest probably no reason anymore to use USB 2.0

#

USB4 supports 100W

astral haven
#

USB 2 supports 240w

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume

wheat plume
#

HOLY SHIT

#

I didnt know it was available to buy yet

#

also... expensive ;-;

#

Yeah...

#

24 hours is shit for a watch :/

astral haven
#

How about 24 days please

wheat plume
#

no watch gets that

empty wren
#

That would be nice

astral haven
#

My watch gets 20

wheat plume
#

Although my cheap ass watch got almost 2 weeks

empty wren
#

Just add a solar panel or something

astral haven
#

And yes it's a smartwatch

astral haven
#

But they are expeeeeeensive

empty wren
#

Probably less expensive to the watches you can wind by movement

astral haven
#

And a lot smarter lel

#

Movement harvesting is very low energy

#

24/7 always on display

shadow minnow
wheat plume
#

the Apple Watch is a lot more money and im sure it lasts longer than a damn day right?\

astral haven
astral haven
wheat plume
#

O.o

#

oh wow

astral haven
#

Those watches get good battery life by using lift to wake for the display

wheat plume
#

yeh, mine used that

#

it wasnt very accurate though

#

it would turn on sometimes when it shouldnt and not turn on sometimes when it should

astral haven
#

Aod goated

#

I wish other folks would go the Garmin route

#

It also literally can't be overpowered by the sun
The brighter it is outside the brighter the screen is

#

It can effectively hit 10k nits in direct sunlight

wheat plume
#

wtf

empty wren
#

Yeah smartwatch seems silly

Especially on the android side

#

Okay so this a smartwatch with a Fitbit subscription

wheat plume
#

for 3 months yes

empty wren
#

I will say this though

#

Instead of carrying cards

#

You can use such smart watches to pay at terminals

wheat plume
#

I use my phone

#

is nice

#

except when the terminal is at a really shit angle and the phone barely fits in there

empty wren
#

Speaking of maybe even more safe to use the phone, since nfc can be toggled

wheat plume
#

cough cough mcdonalds

empty wren
#

I am concerned of someone snagging card info on the tap to pay cards

#

Since you cannot really turn it on or off

#

And I can pull the data off the card easily

wheat plume
#

im sure you can toggle NFC on the watch easily

stark bobcat
wheat plume
#

well, saying that, you cant on Pixel phones... there is no quick toggle. you got to go to settings to turn it off and one

empty wren
#

I got a hardware shortcut

wheat plume
#

oo?

empty wren
#

Volume button hold

wheat plume
#

ooohh nice

stark bobcat
#

Imagine having any sort of battery in your watch

#

๐Ÿคฃ

empty wren
#

I do find it strange though when gpay or apple pay is used no need for biometrics

#

Cuz if it was nfc could be kept enabled

empty wren
empty wren
wheat plume
#

oh gosh

#

the most cringe intro

#

(you can wear the watch) in the ocean
arent most electronics not really resistant to salt water??

empty wren
#

Still does not stop people

stark bobcat
empty wren
#

Oh

wheat plume
#

wat?

stark bobcat
#

No winding required only moving

wheat plume

very cool

stark bobcat
#

Well that is just the movement

empty wren
wheat plume
#

๐Ÿค”

#

that camera looks sus

#

must be a fake

empty wren
#

Nah I think Google loses devices or purposely does tjis

wheat plume
#

thar ring around the camera isnt in the phone

#

that bright ring thingy

#

wait nvm ,the pro does

empty wren
#

Yeah not worth copying these phones

#

Barely anyone buys em

wheat plume
#

Odd that the regular one doesnt have that bright ring

vagrant pagoda
wheat plume
#

Yeh, I know

vagrant pagoda
#

i think samsung is one of the few that is

#

and apple

wheat plume
#

They said you can wear it in the ocean in this video

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah thats a feature

empty wren
vagrant pagoda
#

samsung and apple are saltwater rated

empty wren
#

Because it probably has microphones and ect

wheat plume
vagrant pagoda
#

ive owned a galaxy watch 2 for 2 years

#

use it in the saltwater as deep as i can swim

#

no issues

wheat plume
#

timestamped

empty wren
#

Alright

vagrant pagoda
#

it has a water mode

#

and dose a gooffy tone thing to clear the mic/speaker when you turn it off

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume the sensor is smaller than the 6 pro

vagrant pagoda
#

tbo

empty wren
vagrant pagoda
#

i cant not have the dial

#

i love the samsung dial

frozen ingot
#

wait, samsung came up with something on their own that doesn't suck ass?

#

laughs in bixby button

astral haven
#

I actually miss the Bixby button tbh

frozen ingot
vagrant pagoda
#

the button kicks ass

wheat plume
vagrant pagoda
#

used it all the time

vagrant pagoda
#

but not with bixby

astral haven
#

I bound it to be my flashlight

frozen ingot
#

when I still used my assmung it was locked to bixby only as far as I remember

astral haven
#

Insanely fast toggling flashlight

frozen ingot
#

at least via the OS itself, you sorta had to use some clunky app bypass thing

empty wren
astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

my new phone just has a programable button

#

love it

frozen ingot
#

but samsung gonna samsung

vagrant pagoda
#

single tap = normal camera, double tap is flashlight, long press is IR cam

frozen ingot
#

they keep ridiculing apple yet they nick so many bad ideas from them dogekek

vagrant pagoda
#

but yeah its why i havent got a new watch

astral haven
#

Double tap power is always camera for me

vagrant pagoda
#

samsung dropped the dial

wheat plume
#

LOL

#

yep

#

Samsung love to mock Apple and then copy them a few months later

astral haven
#

What they didn't do is make a notch

wheat plume
#

yeh they did

astral haven
#

They did not

empty wren
#

People will still argue the pinhole is a notch

astral haven
#

Which it isnt

wheat plume
#

The waterdrop is a notch

astral haven
#

Also no

wheat plume
#

this is a notch

frozen ingot
#

am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about notches etc

wheat plume
#

Yeah, IDC much except the Apple one is too wide and the Pixel 3 Pro is too gigantic

frozen ingot
#

people be like ermagerd a notch literally unusable reeee

empty wren
wheat plume
#

Yeah, but you can land a plane on this

astral haven
#

The problem with an actual notch rather than a teardrop is you literally have more image covered by the notch than you gain by a bigger screen

frozen ingot
# wheat plume

that's kinda fugly tbh, apples notch looks a lot better

wheat plume
#

yep

wheat plume
empty wren
#

I was imagining a notch like the second screen on the v20

astral haven
#

The screen sizes exist regardless

frozen ingot
#

am increasingly wondering if I'll ever buy a new phone again with the fuckin prices these days havo

ashen spindle
#

NVIDIA RTX 4090 at 600W and 3.0 GHz NVIDIAโ€™s new flagship GPU has now been spotted running at 3.0 GHz, and thatโ€™s with GPU stress tool.ย  The RTX 4090 featuring NVIDIAโ€™s newest Ada Lovelace architecture can easily run at very high clocks, much higher than previous architecture. NVIDIA themselves have already shown the card running [โ€ฆ]

astral haven
#

If you use your phone a lot, consider the time you use it per day

frozen ingot
#

could buy a dank gaming pc for the price of an iphone these days

astral haven
#

I use my phone more than my PC by alot

frozen ingot
#

I do use it quite a bit, but I struggle to find the value in that $1500 pricetag over the 2.5 year old phone am already using

#

you get a bit better performance, camera and screen aaaaand that's about it

astral haven
#

I am very sensitive to stutter and particularly annoyed by jitter

stark bobcat
#

I prefer hole punches over notches but to each their own

astral haven
#

I do not think I could go back to 60hz as a daily driver

#

60hz on my work phone annoys me incessantly

frozen ingot
#

on my computer no way, on phone I don't really care much

empty wren
stark bobcat
#

I am blessed by poor eyesight lol I don't see the difference directly but I know I play better on higher refresh rates

frozen ingot
#

a big reason why I even upgrade every 2-3 years to higher end models is because of the cameras

wheat plume
#

im happy with 60 on phone

#

but for desktop I want higher

astral haven
#

Yea I can instantly tell between 120 and 240 on desktop
Takes 1 second on my phone to tell between 60 and 120 tho

frozen ingot
#

if you want that cutting edge camera you'll have to cough up flagship money most of the time

ashen spindle
#

am certain 80% of people who are fine with 60 on phone havent used one with more

empty wren
#

Tried higher refresh on a phone slight improvement maybe easier to look at but probably not as big of deal since not a lot moves and if do watch anything mostly in 60 framed anyways

pale sigil
#

So I agree

frozen ingot
#

I'd rather pay less and have longer battery life personally

astral haven
wheat plume
#

Seems that Google Pixel 7 phones will automatically send your data connections through Google One VPN

#

odd

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

so

empty wren
pale sigil
#

Google has a VPN?

stark bobcat
astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

is CM's software still total shit>?

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

I pay for that

#

Where's my vpn

frozen ingot
#

I know the higher refresh rate phones can vary the hz for battery etc

empty wren
frozen ingot
#

but you still pay more to get it

vagrant pagoda
wheat plume

i hav eone

do you upload in original quality?

empty wren

I don't upload raw

stark bobcat

I have a 240 screen and I cannot see the difference between 60 and 240

It's just down to poor eyesight

There was a good few years I didn't any ger surveys because of Firefox containers havo

misty saffron

they have plenty without you getting paid however

astral haven

The 40c surveys are usually me just complaining about how the privacy has gotten worse and someone actually has to probably read that

empty wren
#

Yeah they did the same to acquire face data with gift cards

wheat plume
#

mine are only select checkboxes

stark bobcat

Also as a business user I probably get more surveys maybe?

Oh NVM it's on my personal
Tho that's where I pay for the business account so idk

@wheat plume im enjoying mine

99 euro .-.

I'll just wait for a sale that will never come and use the cheap ass dongle and stand I have instead

Damn the usbc is only for power

@wheat plume wanna buy mine? lenny

gusty kiln
#

No native triple display

wheat plume
#

wait, so the Dock comes with another charger brick and cable??

astral haven
#

Well yes?

wheat plume
#

Thats handy to leave that one plugged into the Dock and bring the one that came with the Deck

astral haven
#

For that price it better lel

wheat plume
#

right?!

gusty kiln
#

Isn't it a passthrough power

pale sigil
#

Quite expensive charger

stark bobcat

Maybe 6 if they have the new display engine

Anyone wanna buy a steam deck and jsaux dock?

wheat plume

Called it

wheat plume

customs and all that .-.

stark bobcat

I love china they always say stuff you order isn't worth shit

pale sigil

You're paying customs regardless

stark bobcat

So no customs sometimes

pale sigil

I also didn't get charged customs

pale sigil

@stark bobcat sadly can't get away with that on Ali etc now

stark bobcat

My dock came with nothing about the product etc, was just in a small brown box.

wheat plume
astral haven
#

Oh my that was fast

wheat plume
#

They casually teased that the Dock was released in this xd

stark bobcat
#

I suspect for that price they might not need resaervations

wheat plume

for the Deck?

stark bobcat
#

a bit too rich for me

wheat plume
#

wat? it was reserve until now

stark bobcat
wheat plume
#

oh, yeh doubt it

pale sigil

I just want gen 2 already

#

Bored of my deck

stark bobcat
#

I like it but I only use it on the train or plane

wheat plume
#

you do need to reserve the Dock ;-;

pale sigil
#

I can never use it on the train

#

Always packed

stark bobcat
wheat plume
#

It let me add it to cart earlier

#

its still there LOL

silk trout
#

100 euros for a dock holy shit

crimson wigeon
#

Bruh

wheat plume
#

why can I buy it from the website

#

but not in the steam app

#

the steam apps says I need to reserve

ashen spindle
#

are you sure you can buy it on the site

#

likely just going to error out or so

wheat plume
#

got to login

stark bobcat
#

if it doesn't and u want it u should do it now

wheat plume
#

I did want it but its 99 euro ;-;

ashen spindle
#

well if you just look at the option while not logged in the obviously logging in means you cant buy it then

wheat plume
#

yeh, I can go through the purchase process via the website

#

Then why in the steam app is it reserve only?

stark bobcat
#

I want more videos about intel arc reeeee

#

gib content

wheat plume
#

embargo still

ashen spindle
#

because unless you actually buy it we dont know if the website does go through with a purchase

#

no embargo is over thats why we had videos about it...

wheat plume
#

i dont want to get it for this price :/

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

May get jsaux one

ashen spindle
#

right wattage yeah sure like that matters lmfao

stark bobcat
ashen spindle
#

some people love talking out of their ass

#

its much more better

silk trout
#

there is no way usb c has any way to regulate this

stark bobcat
#

I can smell him from here

ashen spindle
#

definitely not, only valve can do it

stark bobcat
#

while the sentiment is not wrong it just makes me shudder

silk trout
#

me after plugging in my 65w usbc laptop charger into my phone and it exploding due to wattage

#

clearly how it works

stark bobcat
#

I'm not that well versed in the usb standards so I have a question: if you were to go from usb a to c the usb c would not know the correct values for charging right?

ashen spindle
#

yes thats the joke, the device knows how much it needs and wants to pull

stark bobcat
#

I am aware of that

astral haven
#

Dumb USB a ports only output 5v

#

Smart ones can output whatever

#

Generally they stop at 12v tho

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume find me a phone

wheat plume
#

Uh

#

Xiaomi....

#

LOL?

#

Sony Xperia 10 IV

#

comes in very pretty purple too

#
  • headphone jack with high quality DAC
pale sigil
#

That cpu though

wheat plume
#

do you play games on the phone?

fair gull
wheat plume
#

this is within budget

fair gull
#

fuck budget

#

buy good and have it last

#

my xz premium from jun 2017 still does literally everything

gusty kiln
#

60 hz screen

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

Ui smoothness > display Hz on phone

#

if the UI is not smooth then the Hz dont matter if its above 60

ashen spindle
#

more hz more smooth

wheat plume
#

not if the animations arent smooth

ashen spindle
#

unless ui is broken

wheat plume
#

or stutter

#

MIUI really loves to stutter .-.

#

even on my previous phone with a SD845 CPU

ashen spindle
#

sounds like an issue solved by not using broken stuff idk

wheat plume
#

broken stuff
it wasnt broken

#

except a small crack on the screen

ashen spindle
#

if it stutters I dont call that functioning

thick elk
#

to be fair my 60hz oled looked better in motion than my current 120hz lcd.
But responsiveness of 120hz and higher polling rate for touch really does make a huge difference.

wheat plume
#

Is there a way to disable tooltips in Windows?

#

They appears too close to the buttons and sometimes I end up not pressing them

#

ITS SO BAD

gusty kiln
#

My samsung with 120hz oled is basically butter

wheat plume
#

cause OneUI has nice animations that dont stutter

thick elk
#

AOSP also fine in terms of animation smoothness if it were not for the fact that animations is the first thing I nuke on any phone.

#

or pc for that matter

wheat plume
#

i cant disable animations, I get motion sick

thick elk
#

It just makes things feel more responsive to me, feels a lot snappier and with only a small hit to how pretty things are.

misty saffron

#

Get 5 IV

wheat plume
#

Maybe the Docking Station is this price to make up a little for selling the Deck at a loss?

ashen spindle
#

no they have this tiny little shop called steam where they make massive wins

wheat plume
#

LOL

stark bobcat
#

I don't know if they actually sell the steam deck at a loss

gusty kiln
#

Think mostly the base model

cursive summit
#

Even if they do they still get back any of that loss with steam

gusty kiln
#

Think valve was surprised by the number of sales for the higher end model

wheat plume
#

They were

ashen spindle
#

yup gabe said they expected more orders on the lower models

wheat plume
#

they said that

#

Probably because people didnt know that SD card would be almost just as fast for gaming

ashen spindle
#

but that it might also just be skewed since early adopters are more likely to go for the biggest option

gusty kiln
#

Now they can be more bold with the performance

wheat plume
#

Most people these days recommend the 64 or 256gb model

ashen spindle
#

the performance isn't what they can increase till next gen chips

#

you're not going to get a 100w chip in a deck

#

so they cant really get more there than exists and at the time that was the best option for an APU

stark bobcat
gusty kiln
#

I guess performance isn't the right word. Thinking like screen resolutuon and speaker upgrades

stark bobcat
#

speakers are damn good

ashen spindle
#

screen resolution would only make it worse in this gen since you would have the same performance still

gusty kiln
#

For next gen I meant

ashen spindle
#

oh yeah

wheat plume
#

what I want most on Steam Deck 2 is OLED screen

gusty kiln
#

Yeah

wheat plume
#

IDC if its the same resolution or not, I just want OLED

#

The Deck screen is perfect for the size, for the resolution

#

In games its not a problem usually, unless you need to see something in the distance

ashen spindle
gusty kiln
#

Who is that

cursive summit
#

Radeon's chief tech officer iirc

ashen spindle
#

senior vice president

#

head of gpu section basically

I hope they succeed in building something good, as having a roadmap is one thing but executing on it at good yields is a different matter entirely.

What ever happened to the amd x exynos collab?

Hope exynos gets their shit together

Just found an open source smartwatch firmware!

#

Looks neat

Why even bother making a smartwatch

#

Why not make a smart wrist

real smart watches has battery life lasting more than 2 days so you can actually check the time when needed mm

More than possible

#

btw @latent mural fwiw, the 3399 can lock 20k fps which will b good enough fro 8khz

#

m2s will run that, and i would hope most future non-razer 8k mice run that too

#

and m3k to obviously

#

i play eroge and visual novels

#

damn

somber schooner
#

ye

#

also pretty sure qsxcv does something pretty similar to motionsync but without the added delay

#

M1K/M2K firmware already reads SPI data right before a USB poll, so latency wise MotionSync would introduce little to no benefit

#

it does

astral haven
#

It literally by definition must

gusty kiln
#

it's like uncap vs gsync

astral haven
#

It could do forward projection (for VR) but that would not give you this smooth results

#

Takes last and current into consideration

#

Or at least all the data since the last poll

#

Yes so it has to wait for a frame to be generated so it can interpolate between them

somber schooner
#

even with the "hw motionsync" of 3399 there's a latency penalty around 1 frameperiod

#

im pretty sure u 1v1'd qsxcv about this before

astral haven
#

Which isn't bad
But like it's some latency

i was looking for his excat words so i wouldnt butcher it, and u were the one that was 1v1ing him about it in the zaunkoenig chat

#

nope

astral haven
#

whats the program and procedure for making those graphs

somber schooner
#

mousetester

#

but run 1.4

#

1.5.3 is broken on high polling

#

idk wtf they did to it

#

8khz shows random 20khz polls

#

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ

#

ye but 1.4 still works flawlessly

astral haven
#

well ive got 12khz to test out so lets try 1.4 lel

#

will it get the report rate wrong if i get the cpi wrong?

#

xcounts is report rate right?

#

oh its just distance

#

anyways
smoooooooth
12khz

#

how

#

zoom in how

#

oh wow my main mouse is alot less jumpy goodness

#

wow the m2k is not very smooth either in 8khz mode
in 1khz mode its smooth tho

astral haven
#

no, they dont update that fast because the sensor itself doesnt detect movement

#

any good mouse will only report when it detects movement

#

^ that

#

i have a keyboard that does lmao

#

it noticeably raises my computer power draw just by plugging it in

stark bobcat
#

Sooo who here is holding AMD stock?

Alex from ltt: "arc is unusable in rocket league"

I love that 2 of the ltt people actually like rocket league

ashen spindle
#

Stock dipped because they released new guiding numbers that were down from expectations but thatโ€™s going to be the same for intel and Nvidia, market is saturated and all, itโ€™ll go back

stark bobcat
#

So you are saying:"buy the dip"?

ashen spindle
#

all im saying is all semi is going to have that dip, says nothing about how/if/when they get out of it

Linus jank tips

@stark bobcat I watched it for hours XD

#

It was pretty bad ngl

#

Ofc they played destiny 2 as soon as I fell asleep

#

Oml

stark bobcat
#

It wasn't unexpected for me but it is very hard for me to justify buying one of these when my 1070ti will perform better or similar in the games I play

#

I really hope enough enthusiasts buy these

fair gull
#

still hoping the perf is a driver issue

ashen spindle
#

depends

#

in some games yea in some nope

stark bobcat
#

I'd say in many games it quite likely is

#

Translating dx9-11 to dx12 must have quite a bit of overhead

ashen spindle
#

they dont translate dx11 to 12, just 9

stark bobcat
#

I just hope they make game specific optimisations for games that are played a lot

ashen spindle
#

and thats not really a driver issues really, they can't fix hardware blocks missing with drivers

stark bobcat
#

Really why does dx11 run so ass on it then lol

ashen spindle
#

because its still just made for dx12 primarily

stark bobcat
#

Big oof

#

I mean I guess they want people who play newer games to buy these cards

#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

ashen spindle
#

it's also easier to put more stuff in for newer things if you dont support old ones

stark bobcat
#

Csgo will get source 2 at some point and rl will be ported to ue5 but that will take a while

#

Shame tho games like valorant are relatively new and still dx11

stark bobcat
#

I wonder what kind of person will buy these cards .... Maybe a person kinda like me but with more money to burn

ashen spindle
#

OEMs, overclockers, tinkerers, people who dont want to get amd at all and think nvidia costs too much

stark bobcat
#

Oh boy I can already imagine what a person who would buy oem system is gonna think about intel gpus

#

Hopefully they'll be functional enough to not burn too many

Can anyone identify the macbook air? dogekek

#

I don't think it's the M1 version, but some fool is selling it for 50$, citing dead display

#

Judging from Louis Rossmann vids the cable is prolly dislodged and it's an easy fix

stark bobcat
#

Those bezels tho

cursive summit
#

I think it's the i5 2017 version

#

At which point it's an eh laptop, don't really care

stark bobcat
#

Probably worth more than 50โ‚ฌ if repaired but there might be other things wrong with it

cursive summit
#

It's defo more than 50โ‚ฌ

#

But not really worth bothering if not M1

stark bobcat
#

Wat

#

Pre m1 macbooks are still good enough for many people

cursive summit
#

I'm not saying they aren't

#

I just don't really want one if it's not M1 dogekek

stark bobcat
#

I mean with those bezels did u think that was a m1?

cursive summit
#

I have no clue honestly

#

My interest in Apple is 0

ashen spindle
#

why do you want a m1 then if you have no interrest

cursive summit
#

Interest, as in, I have no clue how their designs look nowadays

stark bobcat
#

Like this

cursive summit
#

I could have googled that, thank you dogekek

stark bobcat
#

I mean you can instantly tell that is an old ass Design by the trackpad and bezels

pale sigil
#

@cursive summit its getting the screen that's iffy

stark bobcat
#

Even windows laptops have smaller bezels nowadays

pale sigil

Is it not 2012

And apples trackpads have only grown

Ahh if only you didn't have terrible taste when it comes to gamesOctoDab

I play everything dumbass

stark bobcat

I have never played fortnite in my life btw

indigo delta

RTS, RPG, MMO, MMORPG, MOBA, ARPG, FPS

#

Fighting games

Racing games

PC, console, mobile

fair gull

name every game then

indigo delta
#

The ones I play in every genre?

fair gull
#

no every game in existence

#

๐Ÿ˜›

#

just no need to insult each other

indigo delta

I honestly was going to type every game I played in every genre but it's too much lmao

#

Fuck it

fair gull
indigo delta
fair gull
#

be the better person and dont stoop down to someones level. in the last like 10 messages i also didnt see anyone insulting you

indigo delta
#

So thanks for not even recognizing that

indigo delta
fair gull
#

thats an opinion re:recognizing

indigo delta
#

But it becomes an insult if I reply with the same intonation right?

fair gull
#

no you literally called them dumbass

indigo delta
#

So I should be passive aggressive in my comeback then?

fair gull
#

idk why people dont realize that just not agreeing with someones opinion is an option

indigo delta
indigo delta
#

Is that how you would have preferred me to react?

#

I don't think I have terrible taste in games

#

And I embrace whatever game developers make

#

Because I studied Computer Science and I understand the pain and work of creating video games and not to mention, releasing them

fair gull
stark bobcat
#

I for one have the best taste in games. I am the arbitrator of all that is good

indigo delta
#

Even if a video game is subjectively "terrible", there was blood, sweat and tears that went into the process

stark bobcat
#

I was just egging you on mate

indigo delta
indigo delta
fair gull
#

are you trying to pick a fight?

stark bobcat
#

Idc about fortnite as I said I never played it I just think it's funny to see how people react when I say that usually no one gives a fuck

indigo delta
indigo delta
#

Also I don't sense any humor or sarcasm in your delivery

stark bobcat
#

Huh? I can post my options here as much as I like as long as they don't violate the rules

indigo delta
#

Honestly when I banter with other people, we get it

#

But you, you provoke people

fair gull
#

i dont understand why you resort to being passive aggressive towards me. just dont insult people and if you cant ignore someones opinion (that in this case they told you without really insulting you directly) just state your own opinion without insulting them

indigo delta
#

Your kind of "banter" or "egging people on" doesn't come off as "all in good fun"

stark bobcat
#

Sometimes they are not

#

In this case it was

indigo delta
#

For me that's straight up insulting when you don't bash on what someone's preference is

fair gull
#

having bad taste isnt generally an insult

indigo delta
#

But that's your perception. Not mine

stark bobcat
#

If you want my real opinion: I don't know anything about fornite or you for that matter to make any kind of judgement. I think fortnite has cool colabs and building looks silly. I can't say more than that since again: I've never played it.

indigo delta
#

What's NOT insulting is if you hear someone playing something that you think is bad and you merely reply with "oh cool. I don't really play it myself. Not my cup of tea"

stark bobcat
#

T'was a joke mate

fair gull
#

even if it insulted you the wrong thing to do is insult them back. to end all of this: if you feel someone insulted you dont insult back and let mods handle it.

indigo delta
#

But if you straight up and make a statement "oh you play that game? You have terrible taste". That's an awful thing to say

indigo delta
stark bobcat
#

And again it was a joke - I can't make any judgement on fortnite since I never played the damn game

indigo delta
#

And also don't forget the first time you greeted me on this server as well. Because you just have terrible manners

ashen spindle
#

the use of something like a dab emote usually makes it extremely clear it's not a serious comment

stark bobcat
indigo delta
#

I asked a simple question about whether the rapid trigger function on the 60he makes a big enough impact to warrant a purchase (before I ordered). And what was I greeted with? Remind me what your answer was again?

stark bobcat
#

Brother

indigo delta
#

Oh yes. Somewhere along the lines of implying that I'm an idiot for asking that question, yes?

stark bobcat
#

Let it go

indigo delta
#

So please, do not engage with me. Don't respond to my messages. I was replying to @pale sigil not you

truly marvels of technology

cursive summit
#

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is doing remarkably well several months after its launch. Based on the Zen 3 core architecture and leveraging 3D stacked V-Cache technology to triple L3 cache, it is still one of the fastest gaming chips on the market. Even the next-gen processors from AMD and Intel fail to defeat the 5800X3D โ€ฆ

#

I wonder why

#

It's not like Intel boosted X3D sales

#

By showing how their new gen is useless compared to a last gen product dogekek

#

I do want to know if AMD actually invented a brand new product sphere

#

Intel will rush to release their own X3D equivalent

stark bobcat
#

The x3d is the best am4 cpu I could think of a couple of reasons why people would want it

cursive summit
#

X3D is competitive with Zen 4

#

That's just how good it is

stark bobcat
#

For people already on am4 it's a much better value upgrade in the short term than anything else

ashen spindle
#

urgh hope someone else is going to list the sales, dont want that twitter account they used as source to be seen anymore

oh god I clicked on it... it's for the MOBILE website

#

who tf cares for that

halcyon moss
#

well their mobile app uses it

#

and it is.. interesting for sure

ashen spindle
#

its not a product for mobile so keep it the same as on desktop and not make it something that follows design for a 19.5:9 format

#

but in the end I also wouldn't care if this is the style they would have on desktop

#

because I dont play steam as a game I just use it as a launcher and shop, really couldn't care less how it looks

but lacks any fixes

#

it being a ryzen issue is well documented

#

and reported

As far as I read the most common fix is to rma the CPU

guess i made the right choice with intel back then

And mine is well out of warranty lel

u can try to update bios

which board are u on?

which cpu?

if that one example means amd sucks really really bad then what it intel doing where my original 8700k just died after a week of stock usage havo

this is news to me
