4TB NVME?!

[latent mural]

LOL

[ashen spindle]

its not hard to fill up storage if you have any media that is higher than 1080p

[indigo delta]

lol yes

[latent mural]

OR YOU EDIT VIDEOS IN HIGH FPS

[indigo delta]

nah 3060 ti is the lowest you should go

[wheat plume]

cries in 1660

[latent mural]

I GOT SCAMMED DUDE 800$ FOR A 3060 TI

[indigo delta]

all my recordings are 1080p 60 fps or 4k 25 fps lmao

[reef patrol]

Myesh. Corsair were in a generous mood that day.

[indigo delta]

oh man...

[indigo delta]

link?

[latent mural]

it was during the crisis

[indigo delta]

i got a 3060 ti for $570 in april. tail end of crisis

[latent mural]

THAT AINT TOOO BAD

[indigo delta]

gonna save this. thanks duckie

not a lot of 4tb nvme's out there

[wheat plume]

expensive

[latent mural]

600???

GAWD DAYUM

[indigo delta]

yup. i was so sick of waiting already so i had to just snag it while i could

[latent mural]

LOL

[ashen spindle]

4tb is usually how far you can get for around the same price/gb at same speeds compared to lower capcity

there are 8tb but that come at a premium

[indigo delta]

i knew if i waited til july or august, it would come down to MSRP but i would have lost so much appetite for gaming already

[latent mural]

LOL

[latent mural]

8tb

bro

also why is my spotify folder so big

[indigo delta]

lmao you're discovering things

good

[latent mural]

LOL

[ashen spindle]

8tb is nothing new for ssds

[latent mural]

8TB IS A TON

[ashen spindle]

around for at least 3 years in consumer space, ignoring datacenter for now

[indigo delta]

not for content creation lmao

[latent mural]

bro when i did content creation i made videos in like 1080p 480fps

more than a gb per video

[indigo delta]

ima get one of these 2 next

just straight up 10tb

🤣

[latent mural]

LOL

[indigo delta]

then i can turn them into NAS later

[latent mural]

LOL

[indigo delta]

[latent mural]

you could download like

atleast 5 red dead redemption 2s on that

[indigo delta]

probably more

[ashen spindle]

48TB SSD module

[latent mural]

new way to measure

[latent mural]

ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW BRO

[indigo delta]

i thought that was a cereal bar or something

[ashen spindle]

data center stuff

[latent mural]

is it fast doe

[indigo delta]

or just your average youtuber

[latent mural]

LOL FR

[indigo delta]

marques brownlee's videos are in 8k

[ashen spindle]

well yeah operates on regular pcie3 speeds

[latent mural]

thats so big dude

but thats not even close to googles

petabytes daily

[indigo delta]

honestly i would love 1 petabyte lmao

[latent mural]

LOL

[ashen spindle]

yeah but this example was directly for using data sets in machine learning

so you regularly have data that takes up multiple TB a second, cant store that all in RAM

so you needs multiple of these to keep the system running

at fast speeds

[latent mural]

MULTIPLE??

how much?

for 1 of those

[ashen spindle]

idk however much fits in here, that is all one SSD for the system basically

[latent mural]

id say

like

20

thats so much

THIS PROVES WE LIVE IN A MATRIX!!!

lol

alright ive cleared up 50gb

[ashen spindle]

https://www.purestorage.com/products/file-and-object/flashblade.html

get a rack that has up to 1920TB of ssd storage that is accessed as if its one big ssd

[latent mural]

WTF

[indigo delta]

good job 👍

[wheat plume]

🤔 digital driver license...

[indigo delta]

hmm

[latent mural]

thank you 🙂

[indigo delta]

np 🙂

[latent mural]

btw another issue

my gpro superlight when i boot my pc defaults to 800 dpi

[reef patrol]

Sure - Why not?

[latent mural]

when i open the software it goes back to 1600

[indigo delta]

use the software to set it to the dpi you want

your mouse might not have on board memory

and defaults to 800 dpi

[latent mural]

OHH

MAKES SENSE

[indigo delta]

hmmm it should have onboard memory tho

[latent mural]

hmm

[indigo delta]

a lot of people have the same problem on reddit

[latent mural]

have they found a fix>

?

[indigo delta]

no idea, i didn't have to research the issue, i dont have a superlight

[latent mural]

ima research it later

[wheat plume]

weeb earphones

https://youtu.be/lCxyZgMsXS4

[indigo delta]

i'm happy with galaxy buds+

i got some IEMs but turned out didn't like them

[wheat plume]

the case is fucking huge

the earbuds are fucking huge

[indigo delta]

yeah, the bars on them o.o

they hang off your ears like earrings

O.o

[indigo delta]

they look like bluetooth sets

[wheat plume]

wat, Apple Music is on Android??

[indigo delta]

is it???

[wheat plume]

Apparently

[indigo delta]

huh. gonna try it. haven't logged into my apple id since i switched to s9+

[latent mural]

APPLE MUSIC ON ANDROID

WHAT

LOL

[crimson wigeon]

Uh, yes? Thought this was well known..

[wheat plume]

I thought they would make it exclusive to iPhone so you cant switch away without losing it

like most of their other features

[cursive summit]

Why'd you use Apple music

Doesn't apple music literally make you pay for each and every song?

[frozen ingot]

no?

[indigo delta]

Spotify really only got their shit together in 2016 and after that. Before that, iTunes was more accessible for those with iPhones

YouTube music also only got established in the last 4 years or so

Also because iTunes was just more easily accessible when I was on iPhone

Ugh I gotta log into my MacBook to get my Apple ID password lol

I'll do it later

[final flame]

the driver is large, it takes space to put a battery and a amp

still looks smaller than the xm3

[wheat plume]

hmm

🤔

oh ;-;

28 for shipping + tax

[cursive summit]

Get fucked

[indigo delta]

That's really not much at all lmao

Try buying an artisan mousepad 🙃

[cursive summit]

I am confused

In apple music it literally either gives me a 20 second song trial or asks me to buy it

[frozen ingot]

I had apple music for a while, was monthly fee just like spotify

you can still buy songs/albums like you could back in the itunes days if you want to though

[cursive summit]

67% is kinda cool tbf

About 50% performance gain, that's not bad generation over generation

[pale sigil]

Omg lol

[wheat plume]

what is preinstalled on an Xbox Series X where 805/1000GB are usable?

I doubt the OS can take 195GB

[reef patrol]

You're incorrectly assuming you have 1.000GB formatted to begin with.

[ashen spindle]

well for starters I dont think the ssd has 1000gb

ya

[wheat plume]

the 1tb in my PC has 953GB formatted

though, thats not the drive Windows is on

[ashen spindle]

https://www.tweakandtrick.com/2013/07/lost-storage-space.html

[wheat plume]

I know they do this

but how is it so much on the X?

[pale sigil]

Don't they use direct thingy like Sony

That alone requires reserved space

But also OS level stuff, the Xbox is full of bloat.

[wheat plume]

The Series X is a really damn good designed console

Visual design and thermal design!

[pale sigil]

Visual design its a box

[wheat plume]

nah, the top has a nice design with the heat vents

and the shade of green beneath it

One major downside is you cant just slip it into a backpack and take it with you on the go

WHOM'ST'TF

takes home consoles on the go with them??

[pale sigil]

My fave design will always be the Xbox One X

[wheat plume]

unless you are staying at a hotel for a few days

then maybe

[pale sigil]

Seconds being Xbox one s

[wheat plume]

looks like a ps4 slim xd

[pale sigil]

Not sure how

[wheat plume]

if you turn it sideways

[pale sigil]

Don't need to

I have one

Lol

[wheat plume]

huh?

[pale sigil]

In person

I don't see it

Quite different

Only similar things is having two layers

https://imgur.com/gallery/SSeux8T

Goals

Tempted to buy a PS4 pro

[latent mural]

ps4 pro?

what is that

[wheat plume]

ps4 Pro

[latent mural]

when did a pro version come out

[latent mural]

so its just a better version

[wheat plume]

much better apparently

[pale sigil]

Basically 60fps version

[latent mural]

i see

[pale sigil]

Or well 45-60fps

Or 4k30

It has various modes in general

[latent mural]

sounds pretty good tbh

[pale sigil]

Performance, resolution and something else

[wheat plume]

I very much dislike PS controllers

[pale sigil]

Same Lana same

Can't stand em

[wheat plume]

yeh..pretty meh

[pale sigil]

I bought a third party which helped

[wheat plume]

After using the Deck so long now
The Xbox One controller feels so strange xf

I love the feel and shape of the Switch Pro Controller

[pale sigil]

Haha I feel the same ngl

After using the deck

[cursive summit]

It's worse than Xbox controller but it works

So much damn better than the joycons

[wheat plume]

I like its feel and shape better

[cursive summit]

Joycons are Nintendo's crime against humanity

[wheat plume]

^

[cursive summit]

The pro controller I genuinely don't mind at all

Had one for about a year

It works, no big issues with it

[wheat plume]

I dont use it often, but its still worth it for when I do use it

[cursive summit]

I just really really like the Xbox controller

The feel of it.. is amazing

[wheat plume]

what one?

[cursive summit]

I got mine with Series S

[wheat plume]

Ah

[cursive summit]

Idk what that would make it be

But man it's a good ass controller

[wheat plume]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the +85s button on Aniyomi?

[empty wren]

They shrunk it this time around and still is great

[sharp badger]

Kinda interested in the 8BitDo Ultimate but looks kinda uncomfy to hold when comparing in to the Xbox controller 🤔

[wheat plume]

I wanna get it

itll be nice to use on PC and then keep my standard xbox controller for Deck and phone

i like the charging dock, thats a great feature

[sharp badger]

Yeah it's got a lot of features

The Kingkong 2 pro controller looks good too

[wheat plume]

Uh

Where's the 1 comment?

[cursive summit]

Prolly sorted out or something

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/ytn96h/aw3423dwf_cannot_do_10bit_144hz165hz_11122022/

kekw

[ashen spindle]

thats the freesync model right?

[fickle ore]

Yea the 165hz model

Well this released"" today as well

[ashen spindle]

thats not even listed on the dell website, is that a us release only for now?

wonder if that means they just use some panels that have defects or so for the freesync model?

[fickle ore]

I have no idea whats even different

That is freesync too I think

huh it's smart I guess

[tropic nacelle]

Ooo wondered when it would finally release.

So it's £100 more than the launch price of the Alienware one, I will look but I doubt they added anything that makes it better overall as dell warranty is better and generally Samsung QC is dire (or at least it has been for me in the past)

[ashen spindle]

aliendware also has had multiple deals on it

200€ off currently for example

[tropic nacelle]

Yeah I got mine for just over £850 in the end with Topcashback and bluelight discount at the time.

Seems actual price is £1399 on Samsung site! So 300 more ouch.

Looks like it's a smart TV for some reason, only real plus seems to be USB c + hdmi 2.1 (really hate dell didn't add this!)

Glad I didn't wait for this

[ashen spindle]

couldnt really add hdmi 2.1 because that would need a newer gsync module

idk how much more that cost, if it exists in big enough orders and if the rest would've fit

[cursive summit]

How much slower will the XT be I wonder, that's a sizeable decrease in CUs

[stark bobcat]

I like how now "the connector isn't crap" is a marketing point

that should be the norm

[cursive summit]

Wtf is a 12 pin, though

[shadow minnow]

Probably not as much as 4080 is compared to 4090

[shadow minnow]

The connector has 12 normal pins

And 5 or 4 sense pins forgot now

[cursive summit]

My PSU certainly doesn't have one

[shadow minnow]

It’s same as ampere connector + the sense pins on top

[cursive summit]

Is that a new thing with RTX 3000?

[shadow minnow]

Ampere only FE had 12 pin

Now new all cards have 16 pin

Which is 12 + 4 pins for communication with PSU that are small

[cursive summit]

So, can I just combo 2x 6 pins or a 4 and 8 pin

[ashen spindle]

are you drunk

[shadow minnow]

No it’s different

I think so

[shadow minnow]

No way you didn’t hear of the nvidia adapters burning

[cursive summit]

Nice, upgrade to a new PSU to be able to use your new card

Well fuck Nvidia then

[ashen spindle]

no?

[shadow minnow]

No you just need an adapter that ships with card lol

[ashen spindle]

bruh are you drunk seriously

[shadow minnow]

I really think he is tbh

He doesn’t write drunk but thinks drunk

[cursive summit]

Nahh just stuff an 8 and a 4 pin in it, it's fine

[shadow minnow]

I wonder if you google memory loss will the links already be purple

But electronically 12 pin is equal to bit above two typical 8 pins with good wiring
While being smaller

[gusty kiln]

https://i.redd.it/stbbjsmdmxz91.jpg

[cursive summit]

Ahh yeah I forgot about that slide

[shadow minnow]

So you can get adapters from 12 pin to 2-4 8 pins

[gusty kiln]

the XT is bad value

[cursive summit]

Looks like a lot less FPS for 100$ discount

[shadow minnow]

How did you forget about the nvidia adapters burning though

[cursive summit]

This bodes badly for 7800XT

[gusty kiln]

7800xt might be 6950xt performance

[ashen spindle]

how does it bode badly for a gpu we dont know the specs of?

[stark bobcat]

and the price for that matter

price is so important

[cursive summit]

If 7800XT is just 6900XT/6950XT perf, you can just get the 6900XT instead for a similar price

[gusty kiln]

hopefully 600 USD

[ashen spindle]

who says you can get the 6900xt for a similar price?

we dont know the price

[cursive summit]

Assumptions

[shadow minnow]

It’s always fun to see Quin arguing with other people as long as the other people doesn’t include you

[cursive summit]

And let's be real, they aren't pricing 7800XT for less than 700$ most likely

[ashen spindle]

6800xt was 650 so could be

if they can make it cheaper with smaller dies thats a easy market share grab

[stark bobcat]

if only scalpers didn't exist

[ashen spindle]

I mean, sure, but you can get them for like 680€ atm

[sharp badger]

Yeah one can get them quite cheap & new depending where one looks

[stark bobcat]

yeah I meant more like the msrp when the cards released didn't materialize

I hope it won't be the same here

[ashen spindle]

well on release that wasnt really known yet so it wasnt a fake msrp for those cards

[stark bobcat]

I despise scalpers so much

[sharp badger]

It's one way to make extra money but it's a shitty way

[gusty kiln]

wonder whats the profit margin on chiplet gpus

[ashen spindle]

not as massive of an advantage as they have on cpus but most cost is still silicon space

https://www.semianalysis.com/p/ada-lovelace-gpus-shows-how-desperate

[latent mural]

They need to make money too

[ashen spindle]

now granted its not 1-1 since it doesnt outright compete with a 4090 but its a close approximation

[latent mural]

They got families too

[stark bobcat]

they need to choke on my penis

get a real job

[latent mural]

That is kind of a job tho

It's kinda like crypto/invest

[ashen spindle]

no

[stark bobcat]

something that adds no value to society?

also investing and crypto are different

[latent mural]

Its like buying a wooting 60he for 500$, you could wait and get it for 200$ but you want it NOW

[latent mural]

how lol

Crypto is internet money

you can invest in Twitter

Same thing

[stark bobcat]

not even close

[astral haven]

Some is, and other is ponzi money

The only internet money is the crypto that is backed by actual money

The stuff that isn't tied to the value of a real currency is all ponzi money

[latent mural]

That doesn't change the fact that scalpers also need money

[cursive summit]

You insulted all of the doge and shiba inu coiners

[stark bobcat]

the wotting 60he being sold for 500 could have been bought by someone else and often scalpers use bots to get massive stock

[cursive summit]

You are really the master of bad takes, it seems

[ashen spindle]

that doesnt change the fact that scalpers should just get a job

[cursive summit]

Although tbf if they are american, they are used to being scammed daily

[latent mural]

Yeah and lol, they're still making bank

[pale sigil]

free

[cursive summit]

Imagine paying 300$ for insulin which costs like 2$ to make

America!

[stark bobcat]

so what does that change about the fact that they add nothing to society?

[latent mural]

Isn't insulin free?

[astral haven]

🤷 nothing wrong with profiting from someone else's ponzi scheme besides the whole being illegal part

[astral haven]

Lel america

[ashen spindle]

insulin is basically free anywhere but america lol

[cursive summit]

I am with you lad, ponzi is terrible

[latent mural]

I mean you're still gonna buy a wooting for 500$ if you want one now, you can buy a gpu later and get it 700$ cheaper

[ashen spindle]

you do understand without the scalper you could just buy it now for the same cheaper price, no waiting and no extra cost?

[latent mural]

But you want a wooting now, a scalper has a wooting now, you pay more for it to come faster

[ashen spindle]

without the scalper having the wooting, it would be in stock at wooting

[latent mural]

No people would still buy wooting alot

[ashen spindle]

yeah because they could buy it without having to buy it from a scalper

[latent mural]

Wooting top of line everyone want wooting

wooting big demand and small supply

[ashen spindle]

I dont think you understand what the removal of a scalper does to the scalped stock

[latent mural]

Wooting small company can't big supply

[stark bobcat]

So you are saying scalpers didn't buy 10s of gpu's that could have gone to any other person who could have bought it for msrp to sell it for more

[latent mural]

scalper buy now to sell to someone who want now for profit

[gusty kiln]

man feels like someone is coping hard

[ashen spindle]

yes so without the scalper you could buy it now without extra cost

[latent mural]

someone could have bought 10 gpu

[fickle ore]

hes prob a scalper

[latent mural]

No but wooting come 2023

[fickle ore]

kekw

[stark bobcat]

[latent mural]

I'm not lol

[ashen spindle]

there are literally wootings being shipped right now

[crisp granite]

ˆˆ

[ashen spindle]

they had 60he avr version earlier this year

[latent mural]

yeah but they bought 2 months ago

wooting avr sold out

[fickle ore]

I've bought 60HE avr and 60HE arm already both delivered

no issues

[latent mural]

Scalper also have family and want money, scalper smart, scalper buys big demand item and sell high

[latent mural]

"I've bought"

[crisp granite]

scalpers are also just scum

[latent mural]

wooting come for long time

[crisp granite]

the same could be said of drug dealers

[latent mural]

you want wooting now you pay more lol, idk what's hard to understand

[crisp granite]

gangsters

[stark bobcat]

and they could just not be a scalper and get a job that actually adds some value

[crisp granite]

ˆ^

[latent mural]

Yeah, drug dealers also have a family

[cursive summit]

[crisp granite]

and they could also go out, get a real job

[latent mural]

You could say that to someone who invests, or does crypto or nfts

[cursive summit]

So, would you say assassins' also have families to feed?

[crisp granite]

"crypto"

"nfts"

[latent mural]

Yeah but scalper smart and makes money without hard work

[cursive summit]

Or human traffickers?

[latent mural]

Bro duh

[crisp granite]

bruh you got the whole fam keking

[gusty kiln]

having a family isn't a justification for anything

[stark bobcat]

again investing and crypto bs aren't the same thing

there is a reason there are dividends for shareholders

[cursive summit]

If you got a family, it seems anything goes to keep em fed

[latent mural]

you need to feed kids

[gusty kiln]

fuck dem kids

[stark bobcat]

because companies actually do shit

[crisp granite]

you could also just not have kids

[cursive summit]

Mind if I kidnap yours to sell them off into slave labour and feed mine?

[crisp granite]

it's what I'm doing

[latent mural]

Theyre smart because people are dumb enough to fall for scalpers or drugs, you don't need drugs but you want drugs now!

[crisp granite]

and I have a lot more disposable income
shocker right?
got less mouths to feed, bodies to clothe and keep warm

[latent mural]

Not gonna get into that lol

[fickle ore]

Can't wait for my intel divvies this christmas, gonna buy some shit I don't need prob

[crisp granite]

...

[cursive summit]

That's your argument working against you

[crisp granite]

jeez you really are the king of bad takes

[stark bobcat]

wdym fall for scalpers if someone needs a gpu and only a scalper has a gpu they have no choice

[crisp granite]

[stark bobcat]

like how u so stoopid

[latent mural]

Yeah or you could also wait

the gpu crisis went away after like a year

[stark bobcat]

A PROFFESIONAL CAN'T WAIT

[gusty kiln]

you can also wait to feed your kids

[crisp granite]

the scalpers
are A PART OF THE PROBLEM

[astral haven]

Well generally people do not need Gpus
They are in fact a luxury good

[crisp granite]

ˆ^

[latent mural]

Stop buying from them then lol

[crisp granite]

I never do, because I wouldn't dare support something that stupid

[stark bobcat]

there are many professions that need gpus

[crisp granite]

they still make the supply tighter

assholes

[astral haven]

The professionals that need a GPUs can get them under supply agreements and contracts

[latent mural]

They're smart tho

They buy something that's high in demand

n low in supply

[stark bobcat]

self employed ones will not always have that

[latent mural]

And then sell high

[crisp granite]

no, with GPUs, they're really making the supply low

miners bought up shitloads

[astral haven]

Actually no The scalper does not change the supply

[latent mural]

But it went away..

[crisp granite]

on the official market

where anyone with a head would be buying current gen parts

[stark bobcat]

the scalper changes the price they are sold at

[latent mural]

Idk what's hard to understand, you want something now you pay more

[astral haven]

Yep
The number of GPUs sold to end users does not change only the price does That's the definition of a scalper

[crisp granite]

but the supply to those who aren't idiots tightens up because fewer are...well

out there at the right going rate

[astral haven]

Hard disagree
Current gen parts are beyond expensive

[latent mural]

why don't you make your own bots then

To buy yourself a gpu

[stark bobcat]

because we only want 1 gpu and not multiple

[crisp granite]

happy with the 3070 I got two years ago for MSRP

[astral haven]

The thing is if the professional actually needs it then they can now get it with a scalper

[latent mural]

Yeah, you make the bots buy only 1

[latent mural]

I was giving a example

[stark bobcat]

so I take it you are a programmer

[astral haven]

Scalpers use in a shortage is to balance out the cost versus supply equation

[stark bobcat]

and know the amount of effort it would take

[latent mural]

You make the bots check if there was 1 already bought

[astral haven]

If you actually need it you will pay more for it
And the people who don't need it as much won't pay the extra price

[stark bobcat]

so you can just whip up a program in 10 minutes that does that

[latent mural]

Agree

[ashen spindle]

you are arguing the same way as someone who says you should pay the mafia to not get robbed by the mafia, when nobody would lose out if the mafia was just not around

[latent mural]

I mean, if you need a gpu that bad

[astral haven]

It's not agreeing or disagreeing it's just the way it is

[ashen spindle]

scalpers make money yes, that does not mean they provide a service that is needed

[latent mural]

Yeah but there isn't a world where mafia doesn't exist

[stark bobcat]

someone who uses blender != a programmer

[latent mural]

Ya ik

[fickle ore]

I need me a 7800xt I hope by christmas

[latent mural]

No, I'm saying if you need a gpu that bad then why not go that far to make a bot

[astral haven]

That's also not quite true
The scalper does provide the service of making the card available for the people who are in greater price demand for it

[stark bobcat]

scalpers are the scum of the earth

[latent mural]

That's not a response lol

[latent mural]

Fax

[stark bobcat]

and you know how to program and make that bot so u know exactly how much effort and time that takes

[latent mural]

Python isn't that hard

Ik c++ too

If you really need a gpu that bad then why not learn how to make bots

[stark bobcat]

I know python isn't that hard but you'd still have to learn it to make said program

[latent mural]

Yeah... Go on

[stark bobcat]

I'm done talking to someone like you

[latent mural]

it would be harder to buy one by yourself tho

[stark bobcat]

waste of time

[astral haven]

I don't
But my company needs a specific printer
And we have two possible ways of getting the printer One is significantly more expensive than the other but it's very significantly faster
If both of our printers break then we need the faster one because otherwise we can't print the checks and then everything grinds to a halt

The company that provides it significantly faster is not the official retailer

You could call them a scalper but they specifically provide the service of having them in stock so that we can purchase them when we're in a rush

[latent mural]

^^

[stark bobcat]

I love a service that gets me something as fast as I could have gotten if that "service" didn't exist

[latent mural]

You're still not getting it

[astral haven]

Again no
If the scalper didn't exist you wouldn't have been able to get it because somebody who wasn't willing to pay the scalpers price would have bought it

[gusty kiln]

but the company you're getting the printer from will also provide support and returns if anything goes wrong, your average street scalper won't

[astral haven]

LMAO

[latent mural]

LMFAOOO

[ashen spindle]

lol printer support

[stark bobcat]

this is not true for gpus if scalpers didn't exist at all there would have been more gpus in stock

[astral haven]

I literally spent an hour on the phone with them last Friday and I got nothing

[astral haven]

No there wouldn't

[stark bobcat]

YES THERE WOULD

[gusty kiln]

at least you got on the phone

[latent mural]

Ain't no way bruh💀

[astral haven]

Okay do you know what a demand curve looks like

The higher you go on a demand curve the fewer people are willing to pay

[stark bobcat]

bruh imagine explaining how supply and demand work and then neglecting to mention the fact that scalpers artificially decrease the effective supply

[latent mural]

I'm just gonna put this out there: I personally am not a scalper, Im just saying that scalpers also got families and need food on the table

[stark bobcat]

no one cares

[astral haven]

Nvidia can't price the card exactly where it currently is on the demand curve because after a few days those people would have bought the GPU and then nobody would be willing to buy it

Nvidia has to price it for the long-term resultant demand curve

But right when the GPU is coming out the GPU is in significantly higher demand then it will be in the long term

[stark bobcat]

so do cartel members

[astral haven]

The number of GPUs does not change with a scalper

[latent mural]

bro duh??

[astral haven]

The total number stays the same

All that happens is the price goes up

[latent mural]

Drug users buy something they don't NEED but WANT

[stark bobcat]

and so people who kill people for drug trade should exist because they also need to feed themselves?

[astral haven]

The same number of people will get the card regardless of scalper or not

[latent mural]

Everyone needs to feed themselves

[astral haven]

What scalpers do is they convert the people who get it from being the people who are fast to the people who are rich

[cursive summit]

Imagine Sony releasing 1000 units of PS5 for 550$.
Now a rich scalper buys up all of those units and sells them for 750$.
If you want a PS5, you have to pay 750$ otherwise you can't get one.

How is that ethical?

[stark bobcat]

the number does not change but the number available at retailers does

[astral haven]

Because you don't need the PS5

[latent mural]

Because we don't live in a fairytale dumbass

[astral haven]

That's actually not true because most scalpers go through retailers

[latent mural]

Everyone wants money

[cursive summit]

So you earn money by scamming gamers

[astral haven]

No that's exactly what happens

[cursive summit]

What a madman

[stark bobcat]

YES! they buy from the retailers so less non scalpers get to buy from retailers

[astral haven]

No you don't understand

[astral haven]

The scalpers sell through the retailers

You go to the retailer you can buy the card

[latent mural]

I don't but some people definetly do

[stark bobcat]

that is not what I define as a retailer

that is a marketplace

[astral haven]

Your feelings have no impact on this matter

[stark bobcat]

like amazon

mindfactory is a retailer

amazon marketplace

is a marketplace

same with ebay

[astral haven]

A retail marketplace

[stark bobcat]

RETAILER

[astral haven]

That word doesn't mean what you think it means and I am 100% confident of that

[cursive summit]

What on earth are you peeps talking about anymore

[pale sigil]

aww thanks bebe, i am indeed.

[latent mural]

I'm confused too lol

[gilded oriole]

Yo

[cursive summit]

As far as I'm getting, retailer is a single entity owning the whole platform and selling out the goods, so, Mindfactory

Marketplace is a platform for anyone (or nearly anyone) to sell their goods

So Amazon is both... retail marketplace

[astral haven]

That is not what that word means

[gilded oriole]

https://www.newegg.com/zotac-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-zt-a30610h-10mlhr/p/N82E16814500518
https://a.co/d/4ZNAt8l

These are good hardware right

[reef patrol]

Amazon is a marketplace, ... where they happen to control the ratings in favour of their own stuff.

[cursive summit]

I looked up the definition, lad

[stark bobcat]

that word has multiple meanings as many in the english language do

and I am reffering to this one "a company that sells goods to the public in stores and on the internet, rather than to stores, other businesses, etc.:"

[astral haven]

The definition does not include ownership

[gilded oriole]

I'm looking for new ram/a new graphics card, and I need to find a new PSU for when I pick up the graphics card

[cursive summit]

"When buyers buy a product and sell it to the final customers for their consumption, and not to any supplier or wholesaler, this is known as Retail. "

[cursive summit]

It almost seems like the definition is inconcrete

[reef patrol]

A marketplace such as Amazon can be retail...

[astral haven]

Yep
A retail store does not have to be owned by one person
For example when I worked retail the store was partially owned by the corporate entity and partially owned by the owner of the store

[latent mural]

What is that

[shadow minnow]

FPGA?

[astral haven]

Nah

16gb arm sbc

[latent mural]

That doesn't explain anything to me lol

What does it do?

[astral haven]

With 4k60 HDMI in and 8k60 HDMI out

[latent mural]

so like a tv?

[astral haven]

Like a computer

[latent mural]

OH

That's a interesting looking computer

[astral haven]

It's an sbc

Single board computer

[latent mural]

I've never heard of a sbc before

[stark bobcat]

so how do you guys defend scalping of tickets?

[latent mural]

bro

Shut up honestly

[astral haven]

It's not defending
It's explaining the utility
You don't have to think that something is moral or ethical to understand that it has a purpose that it serves

[latent mural]

This also goes for the mafia thing

[stark bobcat]

okay what legitimate purpose does ticket scalping serve

Ole' Musky strikes again.

[stark bobcat]

AHAHA

[latent mural]

Bro could you just leave it man

[stark bobcat]

amazing

[astral haven]

It converts the people who receive the tickets from the people who are fastest to the people who have the most money

[stark bobcat]

no

[latent mural]

See the thing is again

[gusty kiln]

https://gyazo.com/bfbba79123d480b70274c2953a3d381d

[stark bobcat]

great

[latent mural]

You don't need a ticket

[gusty kiln]

[latent mural]

you don't need a ticket but you want it, if the want is really that and you will pay 30$ extra

[gusty kiln]

@ashen spindle what else do you invest in?

[latent mural]

bros in denial

[stark bobcat]

nah I'm astonished

[ashen spindle]

not really investing myself aside from basically memes stocks like amd

[stark bobcat]

that that is something we think society wants or needs

[latent mural]

it's literally still the need, you don't need a ticket but you want it

[gusty kiln]

you should always invest in some defense stonks

always a war going on

[latent mural]

You don't need a tv but you will buy a tv because you think it's entertaining

[stark bobcat]

so every luxury good should not be affordable for consumers at all I can get behind that make those peasants work instead of any leisure at all

[latent mural]

it's in the name lol

Luxury

[stark bobcat]

only people with a lot of money should have fun

for they are better people afterall

[fickle ore]

Dude buy intel b4 it 2x

Put like 5k

[latent mural]

Rich people are just better

[stark bobcat]

lovely

[astral haven]

Luxury goods aren't required to have fun

[latent mural]

They know how to make money

[gusty kiln]

doubt 2X anytime soon

[ashen spindle]

yeah intel is tempting just because its going to be hard for them to sink much lower lmfao

[stark bobcat]

yes surely the person who inherited millions is just better

[gusty kiln]

[astral haven]

This is beyond diabolical

[latent mural]

Rich genetics

[stark bobcat]

yes lets just eugenics

make humans better

[latent mural]

they probably know how to make money from genetics

Idk how it works but you get the deal

[astral haven]

Yeah that's not how that works

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle U could've had 6% divs just a few $ ago

[latent mural]

Yeah ik

[astral haven]

Extremely common misconception
It's just rich people have more ways of making money

[latent mural]

Yeah rich people get richer

[gusty kiln]

my old boss have been accumulating verizon stock for dividends

looks like he'll get a nice payout

he bought in october

[ashen spindle]

yeah as I said aside from basically meme investments like AMD (not gamestock level memes) I let someone else handle that

cba spending any actual time trying to make sense of the market

[gusty kiln]

were you on the micron train?

[stark bobcat]

man it's been a while since I needed better discord

[ashen spindle]

idk what my split is currently, I dont look into it daily

[gusty kiln]

micron had a small meme following for a bit

[stark bobcat]

I wish discord was age reestricted

we should do the china thing

[gusty kiln]

1 hours of gaming a day only?

[stark bobcat]

sure as long as it removes the children from online spaces

for my sake only

[latent mural]

I do that

Not cause of a limit or anything but because it's boring

[fickle ore]

How is AMD meme stock tho?

[gusty kiln]

less so now

before it def was

[fickle ore]

Yeah but then it was a $4 stock

😄

[gusty kiln]

it went down every earnings regardless of good or bad

people were raging in r/amd_stock

[fickle ore]

Tbh I'd only want divvy stocks but not worth unless u got like 500k+

[gusty kiln]

its fine if you're not looking for rapid growth

trying to do a mix

[fickle ore]

Yeah I'm getting rn like 500$/y from divs

feels like nothing

prob gonna rebalance to growth

Not intel tho, that one is growth 😄

[latent mural]

@stark bobcat btw scalping is kinda like buying 1 day shipping, you don't need it rn but you pay to get it faster because you want it

[gusty kiln]

yeah intel is in a weird spot

oh man, maybe I should invest in the company I work for

[stark bobcat]

yo you can remove blocked msges without better discord

dope

[gusty kiln]

decent dividends and growth

[stark bobcat]

insider trading much

[gusty kiln]

kek only matters for C level employees

[fickle ore]

Ye I dont think its insider

I should buy my comp. too

[stark bobcat]

anything that involves info that would not be attainable by the public is insider trading afaik

[gusty kiln]

cuz I can only ever speculate on rumors trickle down from the top

C level have concrete numbers

and decision making power

[stark bobcat]

well you could for example be a person drafting an announcement and invest based on what it says in that announcement before it releases and I think that would be insider trading

[fickle ore]

Yeah but he's got 5$ bucks after paycheck aint noone gonna care

Figuratively compared to his boss ofcourse.

[stark bobcat]

well if someone cares or notices is another question

[fickle ore]

Unless ur making millions they wont

[stark bobcat]

I'd agree but that wasn't really my point

just because no one knows or cares I commit bestiality doesn't mean it's not wrong

[fickle ore]

Ain't wrong if the people leading the country are doing it. Look up the US Senate/etc members insidetrading 😄

[stark bobcat]

well it's still wrong they just have no moral compass

[fickle ore]

Na

Nothing morally wrong making some $$ ur not hurting anyone else

[gusty kiln]

nah that's just lobbying

[gusty kiln]

think the only people you can hurt are stock shorters

[stark bobcat]

everyone has their own threshold for what they would consider unethical I guess

[fickle ore]

Yea I an't gonna lose my sleep if Nancy Pelosi and her husband make +1 mil per trade while I make a scraping

[stark bobcat]

I wouldn't blame u

[astral haven]

There's also a difference between unethical and shouldn't do it

I don't think eating meat is ethical but I still do it

[stark bobcat]

I generally tend to avoid doing things I consider unethical

but that's just me ig

[astral haven]

As do I but you do draw a line

[gusty kiln]

random question, what chair do you just use

[stark bobcat]

some office chair

[fickle ore]

Some garbo HM Mirra

[ashen spindle]

HM Aero

[fickle ore]

for 10 years now

[gusty kiln]

hmmmm

seems to be a herman miller bias in this discord

[ashen spindle]

well I got one when home office started before that it was just some random office chair

[fickle ore]

Honest I wouldn't buy it again. It's not fit for me. I'd need Aeron C for my height

Mirra is like Aeron B

[gusty kiln]

how tall

I'm like 6'

[fickle ore]

183 cm but my legs are giga long

[gusty kiln]

so I need a chair comfortable for that height

ok slightly taller than me

[fickle ore]

Yeah most ppl forget chair seating depth when purchasing a chair. That's the most important part.

I did

[gusty kiln]

yeah

and most chairs under 500 won't have that adjustable

[fickle ore]

My legs are coming off like 15 cm from my seat, so there's no support for my midsection

they recommend 5cm max

gotta squeeze my arse

[gusty kiln]

kek

I can't see myself spending 4 digits on a chair to prob around 500 for me as max budget

[latent mural]

500??

[ashen spindle]

well it depends how much you can spend at once and how long you plan to use it

if you get a cheaper one that breaks every 3 years might not be cheaper after the same time

also if you sit down less often it's less important to have a good seat

[stark bobcat]

I have one that was 200€ it's good and lasted 3 yrs already

[latent mural]

Office chairs are the best bro

[stark bobcat]

not very adjustable but decent enough

[gusty kiln]

I can get a used model of a 1000+ chair

[thick elk]

if you get a good sturdy one it can last for decades

[gusty kiln]

like this

https://www.btod.com/steelcase-leap-v2

[ashen spindle]

yeah office sales are often a cheap way to get one that still has years left of warranty lol

[stark bobcat]

that one is supposed to be good

[ashen spindle]

probably especially now that more companies are going to shut down after recession lel

[gusty kiln]

my work has a conference room full of aerons, but prob not gunna replace them anytime soon

wish I could swipe one

[ashen spindle]

could ask if you could get one lol

entire thread

[ashen spindle]

elon says twitter is slow because of feature X, dev says elon is wrong, explains why hes wrong, elon fires him after tesla fanboy says to elon that is not how to talk to a boss

[gusty kiln]

yikes

[crimson wigeon]

HOT TAKE

[reef patrol]

Let's be honest. He was looking for an excuse to leave - Being fired this way is definitely to his favour.

[gusty kiln]

collect dat unemployment

[ashen spindle]

could be, still a really bad showing of elon

[gusty kiln]

yeah

double whammy

[reef patrol]

Oh for sure - It's so on brand for him to not only be ignorant, but doubling down when proven wrong.

[pale sigil]

looks like the thread got yeeted

by op

but i screenshot it for context

[gusty kiln]

kek

how bad of an experience would a VM with only 2 cores (no smt) be?

[pale sigil]

Maybe its a shitty joke tho

[reef patrol]

Still there.

[latent mural]

lol Elon musk saying btw

That's so funny

[pale sigil]

i cant find it

[ashen spindle]

I mean yeah maybe elon was joking and the guy still works there

[pale sigil]

its jsut weird

with the op posting the emoji and not changing his bio

[ashen spindle]

would be really weird to and really unfunny given how many he did fire

could be he wants to fire him but the guy still has a contract for some days, cant instantly just boot him for no reason

[gusty kiln]

hope he has a nice severance if he did

[reef patrol]

Yeah he'll do just fine.

[gusty kiln]

kek

[pale sigil]

Also Reddit and other major places offered a job outright.

publically

[shadow minnow]

lol

[stark bobcat]

@ashen spindle do u have audio in your readeon replays?

[ashen spindle]

ya

[stark bobcat]

hmmm

[ashen spindle]

but you can change what it records if you want it to cut out discord voice call or so

think by default your mic might not be recorded

[stark bobcat]

well it just has no sound for me lol

hmm it just seems to be that one recording

I guess I just blame amd and move on

[charred lodge]

yo i need a new mouse for gaming could i get any recommendations?

budget is

200

wireless

@latent mural

hmm

im not really into razer

its the bloatsoftware

and what if i need to adjust my settings -

still tho

ill look at the review

what about the basilisk

not a problem i think

model o xD

wired

hm

it doesnt sound that heavy :/

how about corsair mice

why not

[astral haven]

What's wrong with Logitech?

Fits the budget too...

It's spensiv but it's also worth imo

[final flame]

corsair mice are just straight up bad

[charred lodge]

idk anything about the mouse market the only thing is i dont want a razer 💀

[astral haven]

Besides the Trojans they ship with the mice

And keyboard

[charred lodge]

im not in the razer environment rn and i dont plan on getting into it

[final flame]

razer stuff is fine, only issue is the software

[charred lodge]

id rather buy another model o before that

because synapse

i hate synapse

what if i wanna configure the thing

[astral haven]

Razer literally autoruns synapse when you plug in the mouse

[charred lodge]

trojan 💀

[astral haven]

Literally doesn't give you an option for that in windows home

[charred lodge]

id rather not for just a mouse

[astral haven]

I don't but I still need my windows to be up to date because of you know not getting hacked?

[astral haven]

For $200 you should be able to get the superlight or the charging bundle for the regular edition

That you've noticed lel

[charred lodge]

i will also not buy the superlight

[astral haven]

Should be able to get the original + the charging pad for 200

[charred lodge]

;(

[astral haven]

I did really like the extra buttons but I care more about the weight

So I daily the superlight

It's a PC not a Mac
PCs have worms that just steal your data but don't advertise themselves

Speak for yourself

[charred lodge]

bruh guys can you stop being toxic to each other

i just want mouse recommendations other than razer and superlight

[astral haven]

The original gpro is also good as I said
You get the extra buttons

And it's cheaper enough that you can also get the wireless charge pad as a bundle

[charred lodge]

this is getting weird

[final flame]

That's just how mouse people are

[charred lodge]

how about some mice with more than 2 side buttons

[astral haven]

Original gpro

Or do you need more than 4?

[charred lodge]

funny thing

theres corsair on there

and when i asked corsair i got punched for asking corsair

because appearantly corsair is bad

[final flame]

the only corsair mice that can be worth it is the wired ones

[charred lodge]

[astral haven]

Also if you are looking for side buttons, any list that rates the m2k as the top dawg ain't the list for you lel

Corsair makes ok options if you need a full number pad on the side of the mouse

[charred lodge]

i dont need either extreme

i just want a good overall mouse thats not razer or the superlight ;-;

[astral haven]

604 has 6 but is right hand only

[charred lodge]

im right handed

[stark bobcat]

why not those

both are good

[astral haven]

And again you haven't responded to the original gpro (non superlight) it has 2 more buttons

[charred lodge]

personal preferences

[astral haven]

Read convo

[stark bobcat]

no lazy

tl dr

[astral haven]

Razer Trojan and more than 2 buttons is the tldr

[charred lodge]

i checked it has exactly 2 side buttons

[astral haven]

Per side

For a total of 4

[stark bobcat]

eh razer mice save to onboard memory

only need to install the bullshit once

[charred lodge]

the pictures do not make this easy to see

[astral haven]

I can confirm they are at least easy to use

You also can sacrifice one button to be a modifier key that switches the functions of all the other buttons

I use that on my g305 and superlight

[charred lodge]

the corsair ironclaw looks funky

[stark bobcat]

do not buy corsair

anything

[charred lodge]

that pc case standing next to me says do buy corsair

[final flame]

ironclaw is garbage can confirm myself

broke down in like a few months

[stark bobcat]

eh their cases are okay so are their psus

mice not so much

[charred lodge]

hmm

[astral haven]

They also make the world's biggest macropads

[charred lodge]

stream deck

[stark bobcat]

well stream deck has less buttons

[astral haven]

That's only like 20 keys
Not 100+

I only said biggest lel

[charred lodge]

interesting

[final flame]

k55 is the largest macropad for the price

[stark bobcat]

true true

they are good for that

[charred lodge]

so good mouse brands are razer logitech and...?

how about a different glorious mouse or hyperx

[stark bobcat]

razer and logitech are by far the best mainstream ones

[astral haven]

Glorious is fine but build quality is a problem

[stark bobcat]

I think hyper x do make some ok mice

glorious is trash

don't buy

[astral haven]

Yep
But generally not what you look at when you have a good budget

[charred lodge]

ill just buy a bloody

[stark bobcat]

bloody what

[charred lodge]

idk

[astral haven]

Does bloody make mice?

[final flame]

bloody hell

[astral haven]

They make keyboards lel

[charred lodge]

lol

[stark bobcat]

those look like the generic mice u'd find on amazon

[astral haven]

They are

They were the first gamer optical keyboards tho

At least they released before wooting

[stark bobcat]

deathadder v3 clone lol

[astral haven]

Yuppers
Solid avoid except as part of an ultra cheap gaming combo

[charred lodge]

lul

[final flame]

hate that logo

[charred lodge]

agreed

[charred lodge]

model o 2 wireless

[stark bobcat]

that is one of the mice for sure

[charred lodge]

agreed

[stark bobcat]

it for sure exists

[charred lodge]

the razer website doesnt even work for me

[stark bobcat]

razer and software

[charred lodge]

the website doesnt load

so much javascript on there

[stark bobcat]

what do u wanna look up?

[charred lodge]

mice in general on there

what they offer

[stark bobcat]

what's the use case do u play fps? or mmos? or both

[charred lodge]

neither i play terraria, noita and osu

risk of rain 2

thats about it

[stark bobcat]

so u play osu with mouse?

[charred lodge]

no i have a tablet for that

[stark bobcat]

well then it doesn't matter

what's your current mouse and grip?

[charred lodge]

model o

comfortable palm grip

somwhere inbetween palm and claw

[stark bobcat]

do u plan on switching grip type or staying with palm?

I'd say get a normal death adder

if u wanna palm

and don't mind a big mouse

[charred lodge]

its most comfortable and i dont play competetively i see no reason to switch

[empty wren]

Astrid coming for you

[charred lodge]

I DONT WANNA RAZER MOUSE AAA

[stark bobcat]

idk I like their mice

[charred lodge]

i dont like their trojan bloatware

[stark bobcat]

same

[final flame]

you can get synapse 2.0 if you use a older razer mouse

[stark bobcat]

I just uninstall it after I put in my settings

[charred lodge]

idk

isnt there a setting that makes it not stay open in the background and not autostart

i already have enough bloatware

[stark bobcat]

yes

you can set autostart apps in windows

[charred lodge]

ok that makes it not that bad

[final flame]

it's in taskmanager too

[charred lodge]

i cant even look at any of the razer mice since the website doesnt work

[final flame]

I mean amazon works

[stark bobcat]

the best for palm is the regular deathadder

afaik

not the v3

but v3 prolly is fine too

[charred lodge]

hmm

[stark bobcat]

this is their lineup

[charred lodge]

so deathadder is their flagship

[stark bobcat]

the v3 pro is their best currently

do u have big or small hands?

[charred lodge]

medium

i can probably use any mouse

[astral haven]

What's the issue?

[charred lodge]

does the deathadder have like a wireless charging or a docking station

[final flame]

used to have a original deathadder elite, it's a good mouse that lasted that I eventually gave to my dad

[stark bobcat]

do u want wireless or not

[astral haven]

Oh NVM discord just lagged

[stark bobcat]

yes afaik

[charred lodge]

wireless breuh

it doesnt even have a dpi button

[stark bobcat]

dpi buttons suck

[final flame]

^

never once found myself actually using a dpi button ever

[stark bobcat]

if u want to get one with a charging dock it's this one

nowadays people just plug their mice in tho

[charred lodge]

i bind f5 and its the mose useful shit ever

[charred lodge]

thats the v2

[stark bobcat]

yes

that is the one that works with the dock

I don't think the v3 supports the dock

[charred lodge]

breh 1 number higher 3 downgrades

[stark bobcat]

dock isn't that big of a deal in a time where the mice have usb c

[charred lodge]

it is when you have a cable management tray

ill just get a basilisk

[astral haven]

Buy a magnetic USB c plug

[stark bobcat]

the v2 pro is still a rly capable mouse
