Took like 30 seconds

60mb

delicate jewel
#

yea i mean that

ashen spindle
#

that sounds more like your pc is broken if a 60mb files takes a while lol

tribal dirge
#

Nahhh

#

DaVinci resolve is much better

delicate jewel
#

DaVinci resolve 18?

tribal dirge
delicate jewel
#

ok thanks

ashen spindle
#

the 1.5gb video file I have here is duplicated isntantly so idk what you where doing that it takes long for you

tribal dirge
#

Memory swapping can definitely take up bandwith

ashen spindle
#

idk what it is since idk what he's doing exactly

tribal dirge
#

And random ass apps making random reads and writes in the background.

#

Anticheats Smhsmhsmh.

ashen spindle
#

man if your anti cheat goes to swap file I want to see what it does with all those gigabytes of ram

tribal dirge
#

I’ll never have to swap memory ever again.

#

And it’s ECC

ashen spindle
#

doesnt really tell me what sort of anti cheat uses so many gigs of ram that his file copy would go to swap

tribal dirge
ashen spindle
#

and that makes them use 16gb of ram? I dont follow

crimson wigeon
#

Sounds like a high quality anti cheat

tribal dirge
rough osprey
#

Windows bloatware would never do that 😄

ashen spindle
#

whatever it is, windows files system is not that much worse than mac

delicate jewel
#

i should i just fill that in? ( DaVinci Resolve)

pale sigil
#

What's that site that you can rely on for monitor reviews etc

#

Shows the ratings etc

tame hedge
#

rtings but I've been told their input lag measurements for all peripherals are extremely untrustworthy so that's worth a note

#

Hardware(/monitors) unboxed also exists & I haven't heard any complaints about them, but their DB is so much smaller

ashen spindle
#

rtings, tftcentral, techspot (hub's website)

tame hedge
#

Is techspot owned by hub?

#

I thought steve just published there

ashen spindle
#

and also it comes up as the first result if you google "monitor reviews" 😛

tame hedge
#

Looks like tim does too nice

ashen spindle
#

idk what it is but all monitor stuff on there is from tim so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

tame hedge
#

https://www.techspot.com/about/#editors
seems not

Steven Walton - Features Editor
Tim Schiesser - Features Editor and Reviewer
& other people I've never heard of are the Executive/senior Editors/Writers

#

anyway I didn't know tim published there too, so that's nice to know

reef patrol
ashen spindle
#

huh

tame hedge
#

oh god i forgot about that - I think I just use an antipaywall extension

ashen spindle
#

whatever that is i've never seen it lol

#

guess my adblock had that covered for me

rough osprey
#

they really not reviewing a lot

ashen spindle
#

its more in depth for a specific selection, not a broad overview like rtings for example do

#

also not sure if he has any people besides himself working on it

delicate jewel
#

ducky i ned help please

#

with DaVinci Resolve

#

it doesnt open

tribal dirge
delicate jewel
#

what does that meaaann?

crisp granite
crimson wigeon
#

Define "doesnt open". What do you see? What are you doing?

delicate jewel
#

i cliped it to my taskbar and then just clicking on it but nothing happens

tribal dirge
delicate jewel
#

ok thanks

#

it no work 😦

#

i have it in there, but when i click on it nothing happens (again)

@wheat plume do you have any recommendations for android launchers, I've used Nova for about 3 years I'd like to try something else

delicate jewel
#

it says 'windows cannot complete the extraction.
The destination file could not be created'

#

D:

final flame
#

did you actually install it and not just put the installer on the taskbar

delicate jewel
#

nah i have it

#

now it says that a newer version is already installed

#

please uninstall it in control panel

#

and thats the installer

#

that pops up when i open it in file explorer

uninstall it in control panel then

Hmm can’t get ambilight to work on Artemis RGB

#

Why did Microsoft touch task manager

#

it was fine as is and the newer one sucks so much

reef patrol

I like it.

And it still has the old-school views.

pale sigil

always much laggier

no matter fresh os or not

ok nice i can restore

I don't like that it no longer shows per-process gpu usage

ashen spindle

win11 only thing I assume?

turbid tiger
#

well I don't see gpu usage

reef patrol
#

Uhhh. Mini. Right click CPU or the other colums at the top.

#

oh my god...

golden sapphire
#

is it optimal to have continuous rapid trigger on for games like valorant/csgo?

ashen spindle
#

personal preference

golden sapphire
# ashen spindle personal preference

surely one or the other is hypothetically better? even if i initially play better with it off, if it will benefit me to master it in the long run, then i want to practice with it on

ashen spindle
#

since you arent spamming keys as rapid as in osu or similar I think it depends on what you preferred settings for activation point etc. so it comes down to preference

#

tachyon mode on but the rest mostly personal preference I would say

lime shale
#

guys

#

i need help

#

I summon the council

#

I use advanced key for my numbers keys, the tap is normal number and hold is FN keys.
it works decent but not perfect its as if there is an added delay when used. but I can look passed it.
but what kills me is that when I have those keys on sometimes my WASD stop giving input while im holding them down. The RGB on the keyboard is still lighting up showing me holding it down as normal though.
I've tried tweaking the Rapid keys and actuation point to no avail.

#

anyone have a more elegant solution ?

reef patrol
sudden glacier
#

and share profile codes

#

might just be a problem with Fn key and advanced bindings

shadow minnow
#

The GPU is making my ram very hot

#

Over 50c

#

Not cool

#

Like not cool nor cool

tropic nacelle
shadow minnow
#

And yes airflow is slow as I don’t want too much noise rn

ashen spindle
#

oh no 50c, whatever will the ram that is made to run at like 80c do

neon widget
#

Does anyone know why I cant use falcon scout in fortnite with wooting dubble movment???

ashen spindle
#

but any somewhat silent fan would be enough to keep the heat from rising air away, that is not fast movement so even low airflow should be enough to keep that away

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

and if you get issues because you OC your ram well, OC and silent system doesnt really match

shadow minnow
#

It’s just xmp

ashen spindle
#

xmp is OC

shadow minnow
#

Yes but in spec oc

ashen spindle
#

there is no in spec OC

shadow minnow
#

It is in ram spec

#

Not in cpu spec

#

But it is ram spec

ashen spindle
#

no jedec is the ram spec, the oc timings are something they validated to work in certain conditions

#

that doesnt make it in spec

shadow minnow
#

Anyways it still sucks I can’t use it

Last time I saw from I think Corsair it's all technically rated for 80c 24/7 but you will end up seeing more errors at 40c and significantly more at 50c which can impact stability of the clock

cursive summit
#

Be careful what you download lads dogekek

shadow minnow
#

50c xmp = crashes for me

#

Or well it was bit above 50

reef patrol
ashen spindle
#

take a fan on low rpm and blas it on the ram then

tropic nacelle
#

What case do you have? I really can't believe it's that bad that you don't get enough air through it

shadow minnow
#

Meshify s2

reef patrol
#

Did you clean the intake front recently?

shadow minnow
#

No but I can feel enough air going through

ashen spindle
#

I mean the pumps and cable seem to block a lot of airflow over the ram

#

or is that just perspective

reef patrol
#

Every bit helps. I assume you have fans in the front sucking IN air, and fans at the rad at the top sucking it back out? Could add an additional fan in the back for more exhaust.

tropic nacelle
#

Is that a front radiator? Hard to see with the glass reflection but if so then maybe make your front fans slightly faster.

Depends how low the fans really are

cursive summit
#

It propagates through discord

#

And then sends that data back to a discord server

shadow minnow
#

Rad goes to far

#

Can’t move it due to other rad

ashen spindle
#

so no front fans at all?

shadow minnow
#

But having watercooled GPU that’s vertical would definitely help, further away from ram and such

shadow minnow
#

And one bottom intake too

reef patrol
shadow minnow
#

This is a GPU for just a week anyways

tribal dirge
#

I have a small form factor gaming pc

reef patrol
#

Then why are we even talking about it. Complain if your new GPU still has issues with temps once you slap a waterblock on the new one 😄

tribal dirge
shadow minnow
#

My fans suck too, loud

reef patrol
#

I was responding to Bexin to be honest 😄

shadow minnow
reef patrol
#

Ramp up the fans and hope it pulls through till you swap things. At least it isn't summer....yet 😄

My 4090 barely fits in my o11d XL, it's stupidly oversized.

I am looking forward to grabbing a block for it to actually be able to put my pump back in its mount

tribal dirge
ashen spindle
#

not hard to cool a 4090, just set sane power limits so it uses less xD

tribal dirge
ashen spindle
#

you can do both 😛

#

power limit, undervolt, overclock

tribal dirge

Sure, it runs a little hot, but it’s fine.

#

hey. yesterday i tried to undervolt my cpu but had multiple issues, ended up with not started pc handled it anyway but still, LXU volting bars greyed out, tried to fix it via bios not didn't work, tried to undervolt cpu via bios, ended it with disaster. is there any1 else may offer something? at benchmark test 94 C my cpu temp, wanna lower it a bit 🙂

ashen spindle
#

What cpu

reef patrol
#

And what benchmark for that matter.

little grotto
#

i9 12900hk

ashen spindle
#

Oh a laptop

little grotto
#

yeah 🙂

#

msi vector gp76

#

i googled and youtubed a lot about these issues but nothing rly didnt help much

ashen spindle
#

Intel XTU is probably the best way there, not sure how much they lock it down

little grotto
#

its all greyed out voltage etc

ashen spindle
#

Could be that they locked undervolting to prevent plundervolt issues

little grotto
#

yeah prob, still i looked for to solve greyed out problem via bios settings, but nothing rly didnt help much

ashen spindle
#

If it’s locked it is locked everywhere probably so you can’t

little grotto
#

😦

ashen spindle
#

you could try and set a powerlimit to get lower temps

little grotto
#

yeah orginally it was 200W turbo boost, at bios i choosed optimum bios settings, so changed to this values

ashen spindle
#

yeah probably the only way to lower the temps

little grotto
#

yeah prob but still too high temp for cpu i think, i would like to lower it about 80 at least 😦

ashen spindle
#

well uh, I think the cpu is supposed to only be at 70W on base settings max and you let it go to 135w

little grotto
#

actually i didnt do anything manually, it was 200W, i just choosed at BIOS optimum settings, and lowered to this power limits

#

u think i should lower it manually?

ashen spindle
#

MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is the one you have yeah?

little grotto
#

12UH

#

i think

ashen spindle
#

ah the one I saw only had a 12700h

little grotto
ashen spindle
#

yeah I would say if you set the higher boost power lower and then just adjust it to what you want, that will be the best way

little grotto
#

probably would be great if i can lower that Voltage about 1.25 eh

reef patrol
#

I somehow doubt the PCU will run well at... 0.217v

little grotto
#

no just like a 70 and reach to 1.25 V

reef patrol
#

Just making fun of the phrasing mistake. Lowering it by 1.25 is probably not great 😄

little grotto
#

after all my research, i think its working properly without any crash and better than 97 cpu degree 🙂

#

i just cannot do i

Ah yes......

#

The time to rent phones is soon arriving

reef patrol
#

I mean Apple have basically been doing this for years already with Apple Care if only in practice, not word of the letter.

wheat plume
#

Apple Care is not required though

reef patrol
#

Every time a new iPhone comes out, people will suddenly have issues with their existing phones, or they "lose" them and have insurance cover partial replacements 😄

wheat plume
#

Yeah.....

ashen spindle
#

I mean it will make them money and it will be better than some couriers contract which is basically the same as renting

#

so not much changes

fair gull
#

also think about all the used phones theyd sell (maybe)

misty saffron
fair gull
#

a lot of people did it for ages even with cars

#

its called lease

ashen spindle
#

as long as its not the only option and you can still own it fully there shouldnt be any issue

fair gull
#

i mean even most leases give you the option to buy the device/property fully after some time of leasing

fair gull
#

not really

reef patrol
#

Literally fact.

shadow minnow
#

It’s basically almost hoaxes. Let’s not forget how long the software support is

fair gull
#

wha

#

people literally do what mansen said

#

just to have the newest hardware

reef patrol
#

It literally is not, Bexin. I've had plenty of conversations with insurance agents about this, as well as repair shops here 😄

fair gull
#

i had plenty of customers at my old job give me the weirdest stories on how they broke it

#

i didnt even ask for stories

final flame
#

people will sheep the brand and do whatever they can do to have the next product

fair gull
#

were not saying everyone does it

#

but many many people do

#

purely because it works more often than not

shadow minnow
#

Oh I meant the part with apple slowing down all devices around relewse

#

Oh don’t mind me

fair gull

i mean

shadow minnow
#

I misunderstood

thats also happened

Apple Agrees To Pay $113 Million To Settle 'Batterygate' Case Over iPhone Slowdowns
#

ya they literally settled

#

and they initially denied the software slowdown

shadow minnow
#

Wasn’t that the battery thing that genuinely was a huge issue

fair gull
#

if it was a huge issue you wouldnt need to deny stuff... you lay down the facts

ashen spindle
#

bexin and defending apple when it wasnt even about apple, name a more iconic combo dogekek

#

Just 40usd/month?

#

That is quite cheap

#

That is just 480usd per year to have the newest Iphone

wheat plume
#

How does it work?
You trade in your phone for a new one
But do you have time to transfer all your data?

#

And transfer auth or banks apps too?

astral haven
#

So 1500 for 3 years for a base model phone

reef tundra
astral haven
#

Yea if you can do 40 a month for the phone you might as well add another 20 for the cloud storage

reef tundra
#

I mean, its a good option nevertheless

astral haven
#

Only if you are intentionally being wasteful

#

At this point you must know that apple releases the same phone twice in a row with only minor changes

reef tundra
#

I hope they are being recycled correctly

astral haven
#

reduce reuse recycle

astral haven
#

Remember 480 is for a base model
It's 900 a year for the top model

#

And officially it's a loan through a 3rd party so if you have questionable credit, the prices are higher

reef tundra
#

jermasus oohhh

astral haven
#

Includes applecare tho

reef tundra
#

How much is applecare normally

crisp granite
#

amounts to 10 to 20 bucks a month

astral haven
#

7.99 / mo for the cheapest iphone on the upgrade program

#

39.99/ mo for the upgrade vs 42/mo normally

mild dome
#

Apple be like "We are a green company!"
When recycling centre asks to reuse laptop locked down by Apple's security policies: "No"
When customer asks for minor repair out of warranty even offering to pay "No"
When customer encounters a major design oversight by Apple that destroys their device and rightfully demands a fix "No"
When customer asks to repair a single power management chip that has no impact on device security, without getting locked out "No"
When asked to avoid designing a machine with non-replaceable memory, battery, keyboard and storage "No"
When even if you try to go ahead and do something as basic as a battery replacement you are also forced to replace the keyboard and top case, after reading a 162 page manual full of inane things, while shelling out 500 bucks for a part that should cost a fifth the price "No"
When Apple replaces a single plastic wrapper with paper "See, we are the GREEN 🤑 company!"

A secret currently hidden menu in the settings has been found in Android 14 to allow you to use touchpad gestures when on a device with a touchpad ...what?!

#

That's neat !

pale sigil
#

Prob to do with the new tablet os

wheat plume
#

Yeah
Most likely

pale sigil
#

i wish the pixel tab was 12"

#

and AMOLED

#

Lenovo P12 is honestly impressive to me

#

and cheaper than Samsung...

wheat plume
#

What size is the pixel tablet?

#

Oh 11

pale sigil
#

aye

wheat plume
#

And thicc bezels

pale sigil
#

ye

#

and well IPS

#

bleb

wheat plume
#

I'm not surprised it's not OLED of some sort

pale sigil
#

then again we dont know the price

#

but knowing google their first time products are usually cheapish

wheat plume
#

Seeing they want it to be a nest hub when not in direct use as a tablet
Wouldn't make sense to use OLED cause of burn in

pale sigil
#

AMOLED it would be fine.

wheat plume
#

Oh...

pale sigil
#

no

#
wheat plume
#

I forgot the exact model my uncle's tablet is but it gets a lot of software updates
And it is a cheaper tablet so I didn't expect that

pale sigil
#

AMOLED, 120Hz, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 600 nits

wheat plume
#

Oooo

pale sigil
#

no idea

wheat plume
#

550 euro... Gosh damn

pale sigil
#

its pretty nice

wheat plume
#

Lenovo barely update software though

pale sigil
#

Not true

#

At least from what ive heard lately

#

it even has the newest tablet os thing

#

Android 12L but also Android 13

#

I just wish it had something like stage view

tropic nacelle
# pale sigil AMOLED it would be fine.

AMOLED is just OLED really, it's burn in properties aren't any different.

If it's being used as a static dock rather than tablet it might be a valid reason to avoid OLED but I would still pref OLED personally.

wheat plume
#

Longest Google search bar ever xd

pale sigil

i like this

#

it reminds me of Samsungs

So are you getting the Lenovo then?

wheat plume
#

Samsung Dextop

pale sigil
#

xD

#

Just kept scamming Lana

#

into renewing her Anti Virus

#

it seems to fit my use really

#

only 12" android tablet with a decent cpu/ram and screen.

#

Has a decent UI

#

Samsung costs way more for 12"

#

huh?

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

Huh?

pale sigil
#

did the joke fly over ya head

wheat plume

Wait no...

Nvm

:')

#

Imma use the tree command

In your Dextop

pale sigil
#

good

#

if it shows up shit

#

you need another renewal

#

Jesus i did not realise the tab s8 ultra was 14.6"

#

whyyyy

#

aye

#

same

#

But i cant justify an IPad Pro

#

and im pretty much stuck to amazon because of the voucher

#

but even with the voucher 1,311 is to much

#

oh i haven't, ive used my ipad for years daily, i basically cant live without it

#

ah ok

#

Stage view is the main reason i find apple so desirable again

#

tbh

#

its great aye

#

i had a pro 2022 for 2 days

#

xD

#

Loved it so much, i almost cried when i took it back.

#

Windows is doing a lot to push for it.

#

So is Intel

#

is nice for example

wheat plume
#

Imma stick to kde connect

pale sigil
#

i mean

#

Linux

#

so no choice

wheat plume

Kde connect works on Windows

#

All kde apps do

Hey! I just got a ram upgrade. Everything runs fine except for when I attempt to boot a game.(black screen) Any known troubleshoots?

wheat plume
#

Not that bad these days

pale sigil
#

it is

#

i used it a week ago

#

😄

wheat plume
zealous vale
#

I checked things out in bios and set it to the rated speed

#

Tried default settings too and didn’t seem to work

pale sigil
#

why not use xmp

#

What mobo?

#

what ram?

zealous vale
#

A tomahawk b450 and Corsair vengeance rgb pro

#

Sticking old ram back in to see if it works

ashen spindle
#

Is it on the supported ram list and bios up to date?

pale sigil
#

was about to look

#

6seems so

#

update bios

ashen spindle
#

How do you know what ram works when there are multiple kits with the same name xD

pale sigil
#

because i looked at most of the kits avail

#

lol

zealous vale
#

Old ram is doing the same thing now

pale sigil
#

Corsair Vengeance LPX seems to be the one thing that is not supported

#

maybe a driver issue

#

if its a black screen issue

#

sounds more like a GPU driver issue

zealous vale
#

Could it need an update

pale sigil
#

id just re install personally

#

using DDU

zealous vale
#

Graphics driver stuff won’t even launch

#

Yikes

pale sigil
#

is everything else responsive?

zealous vale
#

Only thing that responds so far is discord and Spotify

#

And usual things that open upon launch

pale sigil
#

try ddu

zealous vale
#

There’s a driver update I’m attempting to download rn

pale sigil
#

fair enough

zealous vale
#

I restarted the pc again

#

Looks like I’ll have to try the ddu thing

#

Download failed to work

#

It’s doing stuff it looks like

#

Not sure what’s going on with is#t

#

Wish life were that way for me

#

Only 1 monitor works rn…..

#

Not sure what just happened

#

Do I just redownload drivers now

#

I’m a bit lost

#

Download worked this time for driver

#

Issue is still continuing

#

Maybe pc can’t handle the ram?

#

Should I set it to a lower speed

zealous vale
#

Still experiencing the issue

#

Not very fun

#

If anyone has a solution pls dm me

zealous vale
#

Update:attempted everything I could find and nothing seems to work- taking it to a buddy of mines shop to fix it up👍🏻

Thank you for the suggestions

empty wren
#

But which one

misty saffron
#

oppo blocked calls on oneplus phones in russia

#

?????

reef patrol
#

That's very specific.

empty wren
#

Ah yes adapted for another region

#

That wording is so weird

#

Either the phone has the bands and gets service or not

misty saffron
#

just another reason to never buy oppo/oneplus products

empty wren
#

Oh weird

#

Brazil and India too

empty wren
#

The CEO of OnePlus now is not a for the consumer guy anyways

misty saffron
#

you’ve just seen why they’re bad

empty wren
#

Though that find x5 pro does look super sick

misty saffron
#

oppo is parent of oneplus

empty wren
#

Seems like oppo.devices are not affected by the way

#

Just oneplus

misty saffron
empty wren
misty saffron
#

so who cares, nothing stops them from crippling other devices at any time

#

if they did this

empty wren
#

To be fair I have no idea how this works out

#

OnePlus has always been a bit weird went it comes to getting a device

#

Some model was available in one region not another

#

And I do get your point but I think it is some OnePlus bull

#

Even if oppo owns them

empty wren
#

Makes no sense to cripple oppo phones in russia

#

Also one important mention the article was Chinese firmware

#

Likely if the device gets converted it can work

#

Simple as getting the worldwide firmware and flashing it.

reef patrol
#

So it's a China thing.,

#

😄

#

This is why you don't import phones on the grey market.

empty wren
#

Chinese firmware most likely

reef patrol
#

The article says as much - Chinese market phones, which are locked in the firmware. Flashing a different OxygenOS on it fixes it.

empty wren
#

It also be iffy I think some people converted their firmware of my phone model to have voip or whatever

#

Always a thing with even high end asian phones

#

If you do not buy it from the correct region store

#

Also speaking of Oneplus actually fast charging is so nice Mansen

reef patrol
#

I know right?

empty wren
#

Being able to top up under an hour should be the default

#

Cannot believe so many phones still use 25w or under

#

I think oppo has a 215w phone now

#

9 mimute full charge

#

But they have two models because that one has a 4500mah battery while the slower charging one has a bigger one

#

Okay this is weird

#

Diminishing returns though

reef patrol
#

I'm just happy I can finally let my phone go down to below 20% and into power saving mode without having to worry about not having time to charge it when I need to go out the door fast.

#

10-15-mins and it's basically full.

empty wren
#

I never let my phone go down that low

#

But it is nice knowing if I do mess up

#

I can quickly charge it and not overheat as well

#

What is crazy is I think oppo.has a 50w wireless charger

#

Which sounds like a recipe for disaster

empty wren
old marlin
#

not even sure how long mine takes to charge

#

but it charges stupid quick anyways peepoShrug

empty wren
#

What brand?

old marlin
#

poco x4 pro

#

67W

empty wren
#

Oh nice yep Xiaomi also uses that tech

old marlin
#

not the fastest

#

but 67W is more than the average laptop

empty wren
#

Better than mine

#

65w

old marlin
#

I am MOSTLY happy with it

#

but the gesture controls are tied to the default launcher

#

which I hate

empty wren
#

Oh well that is an android 11 thing I think

old marlin
#

nope

#

literally only a problem with xiaomi

empty wren
#

Well hold on

#

Lemme grab nova and test it

#

I use gestures too

#

I guess you are right weird I thought only way around it was magisk module

reef patrol
empty wren
#

Which lawn chair only ised

empty wren
empty wren
#

I am surprised is does it under an hour

#

My old phone 3430 did it in more than an hour

reef patrol
#

Mine's 4500 and 5-10 mins is usually enough if I just need to go shopping.

empty wren
#

Like 30% ?

#

Go ahead glaxes

final flame
#

have the samsung a14, basically sips power since it has a 5000mah battery

empty wren
#

That phone has a midrange procressor

#

Which now I wish I kinda went with

final flame
#

it's also a 200$ phone

empty wren
#

I can do two days if I really try

empty wren
#

Now if only the cameras could get better

#

That will probably be enough of a bargain then

final flame
#

it's also got a 90hz display

#

not oled but it's still really nice

empty wren
#

Yeah that small boost is a big improvement

#

Even on my old Pixel 3 XL with the fine tuned kernel I noticed microstutters

#

Gone away with 90hz on my new one

empty wren
final flame
#

the facial unlock I noticed has also gotten a lot better

on my note 9 if you weren't in the best condition it would struggle a lot

empty wren
#

What wattage?

reef patrol
#

Uh... I think the OP9P uses 65W?

empty wren
#

Oh alright

reef patrol
#

Yep.

#

So that's 1-100 in 30mins according to the marketing spiel for reference.

empty wren
#

Probably a bit more since updates passed ect ect

#

But roughly 30mknutes alright

final flame
reef patrol
empty wren
#

Bro what

#

Damn it mansen

reef patrol
#

I didn't for a long time because OP had utterly fucked up the new UI.

empty wren
#

Android 12 sucks anyways in my opinion

#

As far as ui goes

#

Even on stock

empty wren

And some have vibration for the earpiece as well instead

empty wren

Here's a little camera test

2nd one is only using the light of the displays

my most expensive figure is an nsfw one for a good chunky 250 eur or so back in the day

empty wren

What the actual fuck

final flame
#

I have 3 1/7th scale figures in a glass case behind me

fair gull
#

no i didnt get it for the nsfw. the figurine looks good in general

empty wren
#

Well least it was not furry art I guess

fair gull
#

and a big factor for getting it was the paper parasol it had

#

with paper for the paper and not thin plastic

final flame
#

yea there's a lot of attention to detail with that stuff on high end figures

#

a lot of figures use actual lace for fishnets

empty wren
#

I guess it must be a piece of art to some people

fair gull
#

well there is some figurines i dont get behind which are just in your face nsfw

empty wren

but the weebaos tony think of the poor weebaos

ngl i bought quite a few sealed games i always wanted to have straight from JP.

i opened and played them ofc

empty wren

See now this is a smart man

fair gull

i mean they are meant to be played right

empty wren

Yes

#

That is their purpose

fair gull

ill keep the cases nice but what good is it sitting round

final flame

They'll never know

empty wren

Whether it was even truly sealed in some cases

#

Filip bought an sealed original iphone

#

Turned out to be a scam

#

He wanted to buy it to experience it new first hand

#

What was it 10k or so down the drain

final flame
#

Just time travel mm

empty wren
#

Hah that sounds like a bad idea

reef patrol
#

How the hell do you get scammed out of 10k. Drive to pick up the damn thing.

empty wren
#

He bought it off eBay

final flame
#

People reseal things like that all the time

empty wren
#

He tried to buy all the iphones

#

To open them new

#

Everything applepro

final flame
#

That's why you should check to see if the phone has ever been activated before

empty wren
#

Crazy part is

#

Even so

#

Can be a non mint condition one

#

Whatever

#

Anyways that is what happened to him

#

He checked the serial

reef patrol
#

Unboxings are overrated.

#

Could literally pull up a video or article from back then.

empty wren

You are right

But he was a fanatic about iphones

At the time

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Brand culture is the most worthless thing ever

empty wren

It is what it is

People want cliques

Not the brands fault except when they try to premium or exclusive appeal

And of course the cheapest ones are sold out

#

Wait a minute are these getting scalped glaxes? Some of these prices are for new ones

#

No way that is great pricemm

ashen spindle

who needs scalping if you can just be square enix and sell this price on your own website

empty wren

Jesus

That over 1000usd

ashen spindle

850 usd

empty wren

Wait hold up

ashen spindle

euro prices include VAT

empty wren

Oh

Fair enough right

ashen spindle

ashen spindle

huh so in the us ps5 still seems impossible to get, was checking ps store here and they have multiple bundles or standalone as option, curious

empty wren

It was available a week ago

#

It comes and goes

nimble nymph
ashen spindle
#

good to know I dont need to spend a lot of time to get one in time for summer then haha

nimble nymph
#

is it bad ive seen even more pricy ones from actual stores not scalpers

ashen spindle
#

its not the most detailed one so that isnt a surprise

#

yeah

nimble nymph
#

i forgot where i saw it but i saw one that was like 3k?

empty wren
#

Bro you know that much money can be used for 1 month forth of groceries

ashen spindle
#

about 2 cans of rice in cali for that

empty wren
#

😵‍💫

#

California really is a terrible economy to live in

#

Servers live in their cars

#

Well regardless of the car gets stolen bbye bye jome

#

I dota disagree

#

But driving many hours is not fun

ashen spindle
#

and its costs a lot but it's basically a collectors edition of a game and those have sometimes been more expensive lol

nimble nymph

yeah you can make insane money in la but id never live there

Someday

Hawaii seems more like a retirement place

Like florida

isnt Hawaii also semi pricy? if not as expensive as LA?

empty wren
#

Excellent

#

How are prices of product though native to the island

nimble nymph
#

ah makes sense

empty wren

Probably inflated by the fact it is an island and sees storms destroying housing too

Oh crap

I forgot about volcanos

Yep Hawaii must be scary to live in

Got access to New Bing, kinda neat, shame it's only avaiable when using Edge ecks dee

Also does the same thing as ChatGPT where it generates some totally cool stuff and then wipes it out with a "oh wait can't let you do that!" thing

mossy plinth
#

Gotta do it for safety

#

I was using an open source AI model and whilst it was alright for a while it was very quick and easy to say offensive and NSFW stuff so a lot of those services will detect what the possibly sentiment is of your message and the response and sometimes block it

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah weird how easily AI becomes based 🤔

ashen spindle
#

you would think microsoft would learn after what happend to tay

mossy plinth
#

The one I made last night allows you to input your own "character" and both me and a friend tested it.
Mine was very careful and said it wasn't racist, supported trans people etc
His quickly became anti-trans but then backtracked on what it said etc.

#

It's really hard to make it both open and diverse but also not offensive. Especially considering the amount of training information it has.

fair gull

itll soak up the new knowledge aswell

vagrant pagoda
#

The ole 2008 workstation is looking gooood

#

Just waiting on gpus

fair gull
#

which ones

vagrant pagoda
#

So I didn't plan on using them. But I super low balled a pair of quadro fx 5800s, and seller accepted

#

I was just going to run gtx 295s because I had them

#

But the quadros we're the Mac daddies in 2008

#

They are gtx 285s with 4gb of vram

fair gull
#

wait you actually getting all 2008 parts

#

why

vagrant pagoda
#

Why not?

fair gull
#

idk seems sort of borderline useless to me with modern applications

#

or semi modern apps

vagrant pagoda
#

It isn't for modern apps

#

I have a modern pc

fair gull
#

then im even more confused

vagrant pagoda
#

Have you never heard of retro gaming? Lmao

fair gull
#

yes but wouldnt you want like 2005 or pre for that

#

2008 was win7 times already

#

hardly retro imo

vagrant pagoda
#

I was planning on more like 2004/5 but the case I scored is 2008

#

I mean 2008 can still run XP

#

The fx 5800s even have a bios option for 32 bit still

#

Limits the vram

old marlin
#

watch out when touching the sli cover

#

the rubber of it turned a bit oozey

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah

old marlin
#

and the paint on it sticks to fingers

vagrant pagoda
#

They are all like that

old marlin
#

whole thing is a bit oozey KEKW

vagrant pagoda
#

I had to ipa my 295s

old marlin
#

but only that cover puts silver paint on your fingers

vagrant pagoda
#

They are going in a p6t7

#

With a xeon

vagrant pagoda
#

I scored the case for $20

fair gull
#

i still wanna build the ultimate sleeper some time

vagrant pagoda
#

I was looking for an early 2000s lian li

#

And ended up with the damn monolith

fair gull
#

yikes BTX

vagrant pagoda
#

No

#

Just flipped atx

#

I am so close to putting a 20 disk velociraptor raid in the bottom though

#

Otherwise it will empty

fair gull
#

ah ok was about to say if its btx it would suck massive dong

vagrant pagoda
#

20 10k drives in raid 6 would be maximum early 2000s

fair gull
#

is it worth giving up 2 disks though

vagrant pagoda
fair gull
#

with raid 6 you basically loose an extra disk worth of space just for 2 simultanous fallouts

#

but... that seems rather unlikely

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean they would be 12 year old 10k drives

fair gull
#

ya so they all gonna fail

#

together

#

probably right when powering on

vagrant pagoda
#

Lol

#

Again

#

This isn't a production system xd

fair gull
#

also i thought if you would go peak 2008 youd go ocz sata2 ssds

vagrant pagoda
#

I have those already

fair gull
#

20x64gb flash storage

vagrant pagoda
#

I have better too

#

My boot drive is a warp drive

fair gull
#

did they make bigger?

vagrant pagoda
#

And you would use Intel ssds over ocz for workstation

fair gull
#

like the x25-m then?

vagrant pagoda
#

Warp drives are the fastest non nvme ssd

fair gull
#

never heard of that term

vagrant pagoda
#

They were big money

#

They are 4 SAS SSDs on a PCI-E raid card

#

In raid 0

#

I'm pretty sure they started in 2009

#

Mine has a 01 10 date

fair gull
#

smh

#

not 2008

vagrant pagoda
#

But they aren't public until 2011 ish

#

I mean technically mobo is 2009

fair gull
#

even worse

vagrant pagoda
#

The p6t6 would of been 2008

#

But I got the correct PSU 😛

fair gull
#

its all winxp certified hardware i hope

vagrant pagoda
#

Even better

#

Nvidia SLI certified

fair gull
#

frick sli

vagrant pagoda
#

Also I fibbed in a d14 which is 2009

#

But at least it's my original 2009 made d14

fair gull
#

im very disappointed that its not all 2008 parts now

vagrant pagoda
#

Lol

#

I mean upgrade happen 😉

fair gull
#

so just upgrade to 2014 parts

vagrant pagoda
#

Say it got a six core upgrade

fair gull
#

and then run winxp in a vm

#

ez fix

vagrant pagoda
#

That's rebuild 😛

fair gull
#

i mean ship of theseus

#

if you upgrade enough is it still the same pc

#

or a rebuild

vagrant pagoda
#

Plus x58 can run 98

#

For max meme

#

Though this lacks pci

#

Though I know asmedia PCI-E to pci bridges work with 98

#

But anyway all the hardware natively supports XP

#

And the plan is to run XP 64bit on it

#

Mostly pre window 7 and Vista was shit for workstations

shadow minnow
#

Why do both monitors go blank when I only am switching app or changing things on one

#

..

#

Oh I can’t watch a video while playing a game amazing GPU allocation

#

That’s just stupid

crimson wigeon
#

You can, just make sure the game is not stealing all GPU time for itself

shadow minnow
#

Well it is

#

And idk how to prioritize stuff since it’s not automatically done

crimson wigeon
#

Same with CPU time. Easy way to do is this by reducing graphics settings and/or setting a frame rate limit

shadow minnow
#

Well it’s stupid you have to do that and can’t just prioritize

#

Luckily I have an iGPU

#

To use so I don’t have to limit my settings

#

Pretty sure I didn’t have this issue with other OS dogekek

ashen spindle
#

that is not a windows things

#

are you using more than two screens?

shadow minnow
#

Well it may be since os could do prioritizing of stuff if it really wanted

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

no it would not be os since the driver would define it

#

also turn on/off hardware acceleration for the video

#

becuase that sounds more like your cpu is hit too hard

crimson wigeon
#

Really wish there was a way of setting GPU use priority similar to how CPU priority works.. but I guess GPUs aren't really preemptible?

ashen spindle
#

I dont even know if full gpu usage could cause it since for once you use different hardware blocks for the decoding if thats done on gpu and then you also dont need frame perfect responses if you dont have like 144fps videos

crimson wigeon
#

It still has to be composited on screen

ashen spindle
#

and the cpu sends the drawcall so I dont think the gpu could cause the issues there

shadow minnow
#

Okay now on pc the YouTube is having these small audio breaks every 5 seconds where audio goes out for a fraction of a second and it’s really annoying hmm

#

I had this happen on iOS before with AirPods

#

Weird the same issue I now have on windows using everything different (and no AirPods)

ashen spindle
#

yeah that doesnt sounds like gpu issue at all if sound has issues

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah but what if the GPU is really busy rendering the videogame graphics, far as I know that can't just be interrupted

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

well the gpu doesnt have to render all at the same framerate so that should still work

shadow minnow
#

I am just getting the weird audio issue I used to get on iOS with AirPods which is really weird

ashen spindle
#

a stutter once or so would make sense but if you dont play at like 10fps and are gpu limited I dont see how the gpu would cause it

shadow minnow
#

Rn I am only running YouTube

#

This is definitely a YouTube bug

#

Okay it stopped after a few restarts

crimson wigeon
#

Sure I do have an old GPU relatively speaking, whenever I run a video and a heavy video game at the same time it's a total shitshow if the game doesn't run comfortably above 60 FPS

shadow minnow
#

I think using an iGPU is gonna fix it hopefully

ashen spindle
crimson wigeon
#

Yes they all match

shadow minnow
#

Audio breaks again

#

What is this

crimson wigeon
#

How is your audio setup?

shadow minnow
#

Just a 3.5mm audio jack going to a speaker
But I had this same kinda breaks on AirPods Pro using YouTube few months ago until they fixed it

crimson wigeon
#

Your computor is blursed get a new one

shadow minnow
#

It was using my iPhone and AirPods

#

So only thing in common was YouTube

#

And it only happens on YouTube

mossy plinth
#

What's the fault and what GPU is it? Or is it only iGPU?

shadow minnow
#

Only iGPU it seems

#

But I didn’t have this happen before

#

Let me try a different browser

mossy plinth
#

It definitely sounds unusual. Tried turning it off and back on again?

shadow minnow
#

Ofc

mossy plinth
#

Tried checking your drivers are up to date and all connections aren't loose?

shadow minnow
#

Watching a different video and then the same one again somehow fixed it

Just got an email saying that use of AI counts as academic misconduct

Thanks for telling me what I already knew, I guess

crisp granite

It makes perfect sense though

#

Why pay for university

#

Do none of the work

#

And get a good mark

#

At this point I see profs planning around it, just like with preventing essay questions going out to farms

ashen spindle
#

It will be like calculators, they have to plan it in at some point but you’ll have to show up in class or so and take tests so they can supervise it is my guess

fair gull
#

tmw i wasnt allowed to use graphing calculators in my exams

ashen spindle
#

We were at some point but it was also questions that needed it or you’d run out of time

fair gull
#

na all my exams were without... even if i had to draw a curve

#

so if i needed to see a curve or stuff... i had to use the 2d table function of my calculator

#

and draw it by hand
