[astral haven]

So its even more software dependent than gen by a long shot

Arc -_-

[reef patrol]

😏

[desert creek]

So you’re saying that all previous knowledge intel had with igpu doesn’t count?

[ashen spindle]

intels ark website? 😛

[astral haven]

Ffs Intel why did they give it the same phonetic name as their reference website

[ashen spindle]

basically yes

[astral haven]

It doesn't help them, in fact it seems to be hindering them

[cursive summit]

Intel also gave the same name to all of their products

Like "Intel 13900K" or "Intel A770"

[astral haven]

Uh

[cursive summit]

Even their wireless stuff is Intel

[desert creek]

Then, you got the typical management problem. To be this late to the game and the performance isn’t even matching products that 5 years old is kind of scary

[cursive summit]

Idk man Intel needs to fix their naming

[desert creek]

That’s just ignorant

[cursive summit]

Just confusing the customer with everything being "Intel"

[desert creek]

I am all for competition. We need Intel in this game🤣.

[astral haven]

On the other hand they have been in the game for 6 years vs 30 of their competitors, and they already have a viable product that at least functions for 90+% of games at a competitive price

[desert creek]

But obviously it’s not enough 🤔

[astral haven]

"Your first try is only barely sufficient so you should give up and never do anything"

Fuck that

[desert creek]

More like if anyone had the luxury to do testing and validation beforehand in hardware and software development its Intel. And they missed their chance by production delays and drives issues

[astral haven]

"missed their chance"

They have enough cash flow to try again...

[desert creek]

To take market share from the 2 big players

[astral haven]

What?

[desert creek]

Ofc

[astral haven]

Did you really think their first shot would take a significant chunk of market share?

[desert creek]

In consumer GPU market it’s only AMD and Nvidia

[astral haven]

...

[lapis cypress]

Why you gotta paint it so black and white? Developing products like these takes time, they have a schedule to follow and they tried and they did it well enough for a first/second try... They got their name out there so now everyone is looking forward to their next Gen with an eye on improvements

[astral haven]

The apple 1 only sold a few thousand units so apple should have given up and not made an apple 2?

[lapis cypress]

They can't just hold on forever to get the "perfect product", you can't run a company like that

[astral haven]

Yep

[desert creek]

That’s not the same case here. Intel already made igpu that is sufficient for 90% of the audience

[astral haven]

That's of the total pc users tam
Not of the gamers tam

[desert creek]

Still see it as management problem.

[lapis cypress]

In an ideal world, sure you could port igpu driver code to a new architecture for dgpu, but everything in the real world is not as pretty

[astral haven]

A management problem is what sunk larabee

[lapis cypress]

They started developing on hardware from 3-4 years probably? They can't continue dedicating resources to this unfortunately

[astral haven]

But this is still fixable and has a quite visible path to success

[desert creek]

Well, you should know that you dgpu should work with counter strike up on launch 😉

[astral haven]

2017, 6 years ago

[lapis cypress]

It's a business dilemma if anything

[desert creek]

Bingo

[astral haven]

Why?
It runs well enough for most people

[lapis cypress]

Damn been that long?

[astral haven]

They just needed a bit of driver dev

[lapis cypress]

[astral haven]

Yep that's when they poached koduri

But they basically restarted the project after xe failed

[lapis cypress]

Ohhh right I recall now

[desert creek]

Well let’s hope these cards stays at 300-500€ so normal people can afford them

[astral haven]

Xe was trying to make do with gen drivers and it was awful for anything besides vdi

[fickle ore]

Which cards?

[desert creek]

A770 and A750

[lapis cypress]

How much are cards these days?

Arc*

[fickle ore]

Since cs 2 goes dx12? You think they gonna be THE CS cards?

[desert creek]

750 is at 350 something

[fickle ore]

I've considered grabbing 770 mm

Änd thank god, no more needing to bench csgo dx9

[astral haven]

On the other hand arc uses dxvk now so it actually runs quite well...

[desert creek]

770 is 390€ in France

WTF..

[astral haven]

Excluding vat?

[desert creek]

Not according to videocards.com

[astral haven]

That's very sweet

[fickle ore]

Cheapest A750 I see is 309€ and cheapest 770 is 412€ in my county

[desert creek]

Yeah

In the Nordic A770 is still at 500€

[astral haven]

In the us its still $350 for 770 but it's 250 for 750

[fickle ore]

https://www.jimms.fi/fi/Product/Show/186255/a770-pgd-8go/asrock-intel-arc-a770-phantom-gaming-d-oc-naytonohjain-8gb-gddr6

finnish store

[ashen spindle]

I mean unless its vastly cheaper than other options I sitll woudnt get it

[desert creek]

8GB? That’s bad

Should have 16

[astral haven]

That 750 looks sweet tbh
But I just bought a card with 3 Intel GPUs on it
Not gonna go for another one any time soon
Many kudos to anyone who can guess the model

[astral haven]

Lol why

[fickle ore]

Ah yeah it has 2 options

damnm

[desert creek]

I need 16 for video editing

[astral haven]

I'll gladly save 40% by sacrificing vram that can't be used

[astral haven]

Do you need it tho

Also
Used is not equal to needed

[fickle ore]

I'd opt prob for 16gb tho I dont know how much games use these days, just to be sure and peace of mind

[desert creek]

Hum, let me say I will miss it if I didn’t have it.

[astral haven]

Doubt

[desert creek]

I am Running 24gb now

[astral haven]

Tho the card I just bought supports 96gb so I can't say anything

[desert creek]

I was referring to video ram

[astral haven]

Yes

[desert creek]

Then why do you ask me if it’s needed 😆

The correct answer is - you can never have enough of memory

[astral haven]

I'm saying you don't need it tho
Well if you are getting a GPU in that price bracket

Better off getting an extra 32gb of system ram with the money you save on 8gb of vram

[desert creek]

Both Adobe and davinci doesn’t use ram. They just populate the vram

[astral haven]

Uh
That's verifiably untrue

[fickle ore]

I have a game that takes like 4 min to load from char select

its not ssd, it has to be the vram lol, or lack of thereof

[astral haven]

You may have misconfigured your settings, but DaVinci will stuff as much as possible in system ram at least

Maybe adobe doesn't?
But that's adobe

Also again tho
Saving $100 is super worth for practically the same performance

[desert creek]

Ofc.

[astral haven]

Including video editing performance...

[desert creek]

Believe me, I have tried everything in my workflow. The only way around it is to split up the work.

The more complex the project is the more memory it will eats away

[astral haven]

Now if you are editing 8k raw or 12k raw you need more, but if you have that kind of budget, get an actually stable card

[astral haven]

May I introduce you to the concept of sub timelines?

[desert creek]

I have a stable card. But I need a budget one to do less demanding stuff

[astral haven]

Get your work to pay for it

[desert creek]

That’s true,

[astral haven]

My work paid for a Quadro for me and I literally sit on chrome all day

[desert creek]

It’s a bit more difficult as a freelance where you need to throw money at other stuff than pc 🤣

[astral haven]

Oh yeah well that sucks

But at that point you are dealing with a niche in a niche in a niche

[desert creek]

I sat on 2X Quadro a while back too 🤣

[astral haven]

Yes but windows desktop is the most graphically intense thing this Quadro has ever done...

[fickle ore]

Yo

is AMD's SAM still better than nv's

[astral haven]

Define better

Gains you more performance? Yes
Makes the GPUs faster enough to change buying recommendations? No

You can also think of it like Radeon cards lose 5% performance if you set your bios wrong where Nvidia only loses 1%

[desert creek]

Nvidia is like a Mafia Boss atm

Well if your workflow isn’t that complex you can always SIMP to apple 😆

[astral haven]

That's only if apple allows your workflow

Even if it's very simple, if apple doesn't like it, it's not gonna work

[desert creek]

Right sorry.

[astral haven]

Apple is a Mafia boss, Nvidia is just a bad normal boss

[desert creek]

But the SIMPS gladly pay 100k usd for their mac pro then get flipped a year after with the M1 pro/max / ultra

[astral haven]

Eh
Depends

Many just keep using all of them

Unfortunately the new Mac studio just doesn't have the expansion of the pro

[desert creek]

What can you do 🤣

[astral haven]

And thunderbolt on m# chips is very unpleasant with older devices

[desert creek]

Migration to thunderbolts has been very slow even when they merged the usb4 and removed the license fee

That’s strange

[astral haven]

Nah
Anything pcie is thunderbolt with an adapter

The problem is m# support for that is pain

GPUs are outright banned

But many other older devices don't work either

[desert creek]

It’s because M# isn’t X86

[astral haven]

Nope

It's because apple made their own pcie bus and it doesn't work properly

[desert creek]

Right

Just like the rumoured apple USB c

[astral haven]

Except apple doesn't need to do anything to make their phones USB c

Only decide to and just do it

[desert creek]

The rumours is saying apple will put a verification chip in the cable

[astral haven]

USB c already requires that and allows for vendor customization of it

[desert creek]

Let’s see what surprise we will get in October

[astral haven]

Huawei has a custom implementation for their 6+ amp cables for example
Same for oppo ultrafast charging

[final flame]

I'd say it's more likely for apple to just not use a wired cable

They're probably just going to swap over to only magsafe

[astral haven]

Gonna mess up my processes here significantly

No idea how apple expects us to enroll devices for our company if there's no wire...

[fickle ore]

That doesn't tell me which implementation is better ;/

[final flame]

Over the cloud... Using a new apple service they want you to use

[astral haven]

Because it's not better or worse
Get the card that benchmarks better in stuff you do

[desert creek]

Wires are good 👍

[fickle ore]

I thought it was given that on AMD/AMD system SAM worked better. I can't remember the specifics but basically AMD could do something extra on the cpu side

[astral haven]

We already use the apple service, it requires that you plug the device into a mac to wipe it and enroll it in the cloud management

[fickle ore]

I was wondering if NV had improved theirs

[astral haven]

It's all bs
Sam gets the same performance benefit on intel

It's just that amd enables it by default

[fickle ore]

mmh

oke

and amd still has less overhead?

[astral haven]

So imagine you have a car with a 10000 horsepower engine
And 1 with 900 horsepower
If both are the same size weight efficiency, and both are limited to 500 horsepower or else they explode in 2 seconds, it doesn't matter which one you get ...

[astral haven]

Other way around going off of the Sam results
Amd has more performance sitting on the table if you don't have Sam
Nvidia works well enough to not need special consideration

[fickle ore]

Alright gonna check either AMD or intel

[astral haven]

Like If you just don't want Nvidia, just say that instead of beating around the bush

[fickle ore]

No, I just don't want NV's overhead. I lean on the CPU side more

[astral haven]

🤷 a faster card will use the cpu more...

But the 770 is cheaper and has more vram

[fickle ore]

I'm usually capped anyway in games like OW/whatnot

Any less CPU overhead is a win

[astral haven]

That's not how that works

Get the faster one
If it performs better, it performs better...

[fickle ore]

I wish it were that simple but 8khz mice are needy

[astral haven]

That's 1 thread

[fickle ore]

24H will help tho

may need to go insider 😄

[astral haven]

🤷 6650 is more apt comparison

Yup

[fickle ore]

That includes csgo bench? INVALIDATED! 😛

[astral haven]

770 is more for the insane random apps it performs well in
It's faster than a 3090 in topaz for example

[fickle ore]

Ya for sure

[astral haven]

750 is the one for gamers, and it really depends which games you play if the 6650 or 750 is faster, and

You do not need 16gb of vram in that slow of a GPU...

[fickle ore]

Hope 7700 xt/7800 will change the mid range price/perf

[astral haven]

At least for gamerz

[crimson wigeon]

But ultra is the only way to play!!!

[astral haven]

Speak for yourself

I've got a nice enough screen that it's rather easy to tell

Also CPUs aren't keeping up with GPUs, if you lower settings even slightly in most games it becomes CPU bottlenecked

[fickle ore]

dat's good. cpu bounded is least lag

[astral haven]

It's also useless for testing GPUs

X3d is the least caring of memory speeds of the Ryzens lel

[fickle ore]

god I wanna upgrade from 5800x to 5800x3d

[astral haven]

Also if you are testing you want perfect stability, and amd doesn't validate 3600

Dang no 32gb 6400 rdimms...

[cursive summit]

Technically tech

Tbf looks like just a waste of taxpayer's money

[empty wren]

They have a museum of planes in OhIo too

[cursive summit]

I don't really get the need for a "stealth" air vessel

That ship has long sailed

[astral haven]

Gotta realize tho, if you spend money and your requirement is everything be made on us soil, 99% of the money goes straight back into the pockets of Americans...
Spending a dollar strategically can allow multiple people to spend several dollars

[cursive summit]

Radars are more than enough capable to detect however tf you look

[empty wren]

Now imagine if you use Kickstarter plastic board on it truly stealth

[cursive summit]

Tl;dw

[astral haven]

Tldw the first thing attacked was radar and comms

The very first ordinance to explode was on radar

Oh my god, I didn't know that they had b52s launch from the us, do their mission and go straight back without landing
That's insane

[cursive summit]

In desert storm

Against a country that would be considered third world by most

Russia's radars are far more capable than that and they are positioned far beyond the lines where an Apache would reach

Stealth is still useless, active protection is how you achieve imperviousness

For thousands of kilometers?

Not gon happen, you have long and short range radars

You can deal with short ones all you want, long ranges will still be in safe zones

Maybe if they decommission Ariete's their equipment problems will fix themselves

[astral haven]

The point is there aren't any safe zones lel

[cursive summit]

If your army is incompetent, that's your personnel's fault, not the equipments

Equipment is sophisticated enough to give you total coverage of half of earth with the radars that we have

If you can't use it properly, not the equipment's fault

[astral haven]

Yes but to these planes have the radar cross sections of small birds

[cursive summit]

That was a thing back in the 70s and 80s, should not be a problem anymore

Sometimes Pentagon genuinely does not know what they need

So many billions wasted with all of their programmes

[astral haven]

Define wasted tho

[cursive summit]

I mean fair enough for doing R&D and seeing what works and doesn't, but man they are not being efficient

[astral haven]

Research money is mostly salary

[cursive summit]

Stop shittalking my Bradleys

[astral haven]

Even if literally 100% of the money provides zero benefit technologically
A quite significant proportion of it is still given to people to spend on housing and food

[cursive summit]

There is nothing wrong with the good old bradley

Far better than the thing it was meant to counter

[mild dome]

Irc the main issue US military spending faces is corrupt deals overspending for the simplest of things, e.g. medicine, spare parts, and basic household electronics

[crisp granite]

oh my god

[cursive summit]

Universal healthcare when

[crisp granite]

stick a gun on it and now it is an infantry fighting vehicle

with next to no protection for the passengers...

[mild dome]

I mean the US is likely overspending on planes, but not because of their stealth capabilities but because the company gives kickbacks to the politicians who sign the deal

[cursive summit]

And shit

Bradley is amphibious anyways, with a fording kit

[crisp granite]

rule of thumb
anything genuinely useful the US ever made never got past testing

[final flame]

The Gay bomb

[crisp granite]

still want my jeep mounted tactical nuke tbh

[mild dome]

I know the US once took the Australian Bushmaster and supersized it. How did that turn out?

[cursive summit]

25mm and 30mm are cute

Would rather just use the new 40mm with case telescoped rounds

[crisp granite]

uh....tbh
the US and Russia have the resources to

doesn't mean they use em

or use them well

[cursive summit]

U.S just don't have the need to field the shit that they research

[crisp granite]

cough cough AK-12

[cursive summit]

Like China is now touting the ramjet powered super mach5 or whatever missiles and how they are so ahead of U.S

U.S has done research on that when, back in the 70s?

Just cause they have it researched, they don't need to field them

[crisp granite]

a mistake ironed out in the 40's came back with a vengeance

in a weapon actually being fielded rn

congrats

[cursive summit]

Also AK-12 is a fine rifle

The first model was a bit terrible

But the second one is actually pretty nice

[crisp granite]

it's just a waste of money compared to pumping out more 74s modernised

doesn't do anything dramatically better than a 74

[cursive summit]

That wouldn't make sense considering polymers are a lot cheaper than metal and wood typical russian gun construction

AK-12 seems like an economical solution

[crisp granite]

AKs made in Russia since...forever are stamped and the 74 already has been updated with polymer furniture

[cursive summit]

But you honestly are not wrong

I don't see the need for a new rifle

[crisp granite]

the whole optics mounting is cool...but they don't actually mount optics to the AK-12s....sooooooo

[cursive summit]

U.S though is actually trying to accomplish something with the new rifles, introducing the 6.8mm cartridge

That's a mad good cartridge

[crisp granite]

still trying to get my grubby mitts on some

[cursive summit]

Lol, not anytime soon

Poor logistics man, adopting so many calibers

[crisp granite]

...uh
Sig sells

the rifles

and cartridges

to civilians

in the USA

[cursive summit]

Not the mil spec one

[crisp granite]

of course not

[cursive summit]

Civilian version is boring

Full auto mil-spec is the shit

[crisp granite]

...the only real difference from USA civie to military is the selector switch

and I am one of those losers who hates full auto outside of a sub calibre anyway

[cursive summit]

Anyways it's not a Sig mcx spear if not for that terminator optic sight

Now that is half of the rifle

If full auto was legal in this country, I would try my hardest to import a glock 18

[crisp granite]

thank fuck for Lithuania being reasonable

[cursive summit]

We have really good laws

And virtually no gun incidents

[crisp granite]

...jeez how do the yuropoors get more reasonable legislations than here

[cursive summit]

At least no gun incidents with fatalities, typically

[crisp granite]

only accidents?
weapon malfunctions

[cursive summit]

I think according to recent stats, 1 in 100 have a firearm in our country

[crisp granite]

that's a rather small number

[cursive summit]

Which is actually a lot considering we have like maybe 2-3 headlines a year of gun accidents

[crisp granite]

nah, it's litwa
people stab themselves

[cursive summit]

Nah we just get drunk and cause traffic accidents

Probably lead the worldwide stats in that category

Can't stab or shoot someone if you die behind the wheel in your shitty ass BMW

[crisp granite]

how well does the analog feature work with macro programs?

[gusty kiln]

Multi-monitor power usage fixed on AMD 7000 GPUs yet?

[pale sigil]

thats an nvidia issue too tho

[ashen spindle]

no 7000 series had an issue where its high power usage because it wouldnt clock down on multi monitor setupts

not an issue on nvidia or other amd cards

[gusty kiln]

Yeah something with the memory clocks

[ashen spindle]

idk if its fixed, they had some patches that improved it

idk if its fully fixed now

[gusty kiln]

Cuz in tempted to grab a 7900xt for 800

Reference model though

And I only care about raster

[tribal dirge]

*pixels

[gusty kiln]

I mean there's not many options

[ashen spindle]

nobody said its reasonable 😛

[gusty kiln]

Unless I wait another gen

So I can grab previous amd gen for cheaper

Amd always goes cheaper than nvidia

[tribal dirge]

Eh, I’ve spent 8k on a gpu

Nvidia RTX 6000 ADA

I also do real work

ML data searching

[ashen spindle]

I mena, if they can make it look good enough that it would justify it, sure

or can show it reduces dev time by enough that they can add more stuff instead

main reason I'm all for rtx is that it eventually should make light settings a lot easier to do so it takes 10x less time

[gusty kiln]

https://i.gyazo.com/5e1b8e294acd059e8207914665484d6e.png

if you had to pick, which?

wait open box for 680?

asrock is 50Mhz higher

but I don't know much about them as an AIB

but that open box deal is looking real nice

[ashen spindle]

its neither a red devil nor a phantom oc so probably more or less the same card

open box idk what that even is

returned cards?

[gusty kiln]

yeah

[ashen spindle]

nah fuck that, cba trouble shooting more than necessary on new hardware

[gusty kiln]

the 680 one says LED doesn't light up

[ashen spindle]

I mean, then I would try it and see if that really is the only issue lol

I cant even see my case so I gladly take a 120 voucher for broken rgb lol

[gusty kiln]

kek yeah

"42% of them end up spending the majority of their Steam gaming time on Steam Deck – preferring it over their other devices." 🤔

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-community-continues-to-blow-our-minds-valve-talk-the-steam-deck-one-year-on

[wheat plume]

I'm not surprised by that percentage!!!

A lot of people prefer not to be at a desk for gaming

Which is why console is so popular
You are on a comfy couch

[frozen ingot]

controller is so much worse to play with though

[reef patrol]

Ughh.... Chrome just pushed another, terrible design change.

Forced hover cards with preview images.

Worst thing is - I can't even escape it by changing browsers, because apparently no one else doing Chromium seems to care when Google forces stuff like this.

[halcyon moss]

cough firefox

[reef patrol]

Firefox isn't an option. Doesn't support WebUSB, doesn't have anywhere near the same support for addons and it doesn't integrate well with... anything Google 😛

[halcyon moss]

/shrug google stuff works fine for me

[reef patrol]

Oof... managed to get it back temporarily... but it's a time bomb that Google disables eventually. 💀

[mossy plinth]

I'm guessing there is a flag you can change to disable it?

[reef patrol]

That's what I'm saying - they're removing the flags.

Well HAVE. But there's a flag that brings back some flags on a per-build basis...but those are also temporary. So I'll be back to having this issue soon.

[mossy plinth]

Wait, they are removing flags?

[reef patrol]

Yes?

[mossy plinth]

then again its chrome. They'll say they'll do something but then keep delaying it.

There will probably always be a way to disable it hopefully

[reef patrol]

The issue is that Google controls the flags for all chromium browsers, unless THEY specifically disagree.

I can't load up Brave and toggle things.

[halcyon moss]

and this is the problem with blink everything

Firefox!

This used to have multiple flags - One to completely disable the tooltips (hover cards), but now only the image preview one remains, and only temporarily if I force it back through another flag.

I'd kill for a version of Chrome that'd let me stay on an old version or just force old flags to come back in - But that's not happening. So just hoping Brave and other browsers eventually hack this toggle back in, because it's really instrusive.

FINALLY, they are actually doing to do shit about Discord scams

[tame hedge]

I don't think this is what proves it

[ashen spindle]

that just makes rules clear that doesnt say anything about them doing shit about it

Cryptobros gonna be in shambles

Anyone have any idea why WoL won't work

[cedar vine]

Anyone got any idea which would kinda be the best wifi router for like a 400mt2 home? About 500mb- 1gb/s speeds

[pale sigil]

I've wiped my bios, checked my Mac address, checked settings in Windows.

Still won't work

Used to work fine

[reef patrol]

Check something like wireshark to see if the PC is actually receiving the magic packet?

[pale sigil]

For a long time

[shadow minnow]

They have been for a while, there is way less of them

[mossy plinth]

I have a similar problem with one of my PCs I can't recall why it didn't work.
Think it was bios related or something

[pale sigil]

It's rather annoying

I got so reliant on it when I'm downstairs or out.

As I use Alexa with it

[ashen spindle]

think the issue is you are using alexa

[pale sigil]

Well no

I tried other options too

Haha

Different ways of WoL

[reef patrol]

They all do the same thing though.

[pale sigil]

That too

How much are these

😵‍💫

Yeah GPUs still be would be better pick for mining

Cept you cannot repurpose a router for much else besides being a router

A gpu can be used for playing games, rendering, home entertainment decoding

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean it can

[empty wren]

Okay yes fair enough

[old marlin]

TP-Link representatives responded to our queries, stating that this is not a TP-Link product. As such, it appears that the "TP-Link ASIC" router is a scam. We're investigating further.

also 1200W of power

over a tiny barrel jack

suuuuuure

[crimson wigeon]

What could possibly go wrong

[empty wren]

Wtf

Is it also trying to be a space heater

[astral haven]

thats what mining is

[old marlin]

that entire product is a scam btw

like 99% sure

doesn't seem to be related to tp link though

[wheat plume]

Is there a way to stop the virtual desktop icon in the taskbar from showing that popup when you hover the cursor over it?
Windows 11

[crimson wigeon]

Don't hover over it

[wheat plume]

I use that icon often

Because they removed the fucking slide animation when swapping desktops with keyboard shortcuts

And now I can't tell I've opened an app on the wrong desktop if they are all empty cause you can't see it switch desktop anymore cause of the lack of animation

Windows literally has an animation for dropping a system tray icon into the overflow menu

Yet they removed the virtual desktop slide animation .-.

[astral haven]

they would have an excuse if this was a global postprocessing step but nooo you need specific game support

[cursive summit]

So it's a PC that's also a router

[astral haven]

no its just a scam

[cursive summit]

Is it really though

Looks like a real product with some interesting engineering behind it

It's obviously not by TP-Link, but I don't see why it would not work

The idea's.. alright?

[old marlin]

just disable it outright?

[gusty kiln]

https://amz.run/6SxT

$8.99

[astral haven]

if the product is committing fraud, and it looks like there are obvious issues preventing it from working, im gonna guess that its a scam

[gusty kiln]

[astral haven]

sanitize your link please

Why Sanitize when you can SATANIZE.

it is a scam

[wheat plume]

how

[old marlin]

what

[cursive summit]

I like this company

[gusty kiln]

my link has them currently 8.99

[wheat plume]

oh...no, I use the icon

[astral haven]

regular p12 are like 20 for a 5 pack or whatever

[wheat plume]

I want to disable the hover preview

[old marlin]

a regular P12 is like 4€

[astral haven]

use windows + tab

[gusty kiln]

at least from amazon it's 14.99 for whatever reason

for a single PWM PST

[astral haven]

pst co maybe?

[gusty kiln]

https://i.gyazo.com/6f0445070b7780052e5e039bc61a2976.png

[old marlin]

damn

you are getting ripped off

[gusty kiln]

obviously 5 pack makes more sense

[wheat plume]

Microsoft admitting that some of their software is horribly insecure and out-dated?!!??

what?! is this real??

[cursive summit]

There's something weird or wrong with that?

If something is a security liability, you shut it down

[wheat plume]

I have never ONCE seen Microsoft say anything bad about their own software, no matter how old it was until now

[cursive summit]

Microsoft isn't that slacking on security front though

For how complicated their OS'es are, they do a lot well

[old marlin]

don't try to tell that lana

[wheat plume]

yeah I know xd

[cursive summit]

Linux shits are pretty annoying with their borderline domb Windows hate

[wheat plume]

I was hating on Microsoft, not Windows

[cursive summit]

Get a proper OS then shittalk windows

Your shit don't work

[wheat plume]

it works

[cursive summit]

Barely

[wheat plume]

I mentioned how microsoft never talk bad about their software

I never mentioned Windows bad

[empty wren]

Windows good

Take windows pill

[wheat plume]

it was Vex that brought up the whole windows bad thingy

[cursive summit]

Windows don't shy away from notifying people about security issues though..?

[wheat plume]

I never said anythng about security either

[empty wren]

Vexx the politician

[old marlin]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/troubleshoot/detect-enable-and-disable-smbv1-v2-v3?tabs=server

[cursive summit]

So, in that case Linus Torvalds doesn't talk shit about Linux or the Linux Foundation either so

[old marlin]

While disabling or removing SMBv1 might cause some compatibility issues with old computers or software, SMBv1 has significant security vulnerabilities, and we strongly encourage you not to use it.

[wheat plume]

I literally just said I was surprised that Microsoft said bad things about a piece of software they made

@cursive summit

[cursive summit]

Why doesn't Linus hate his own programming brainchild

[old marlin]

woweee

so hard to find

[empty wren]

Probably cuz it ain't his anymore

[cursive summit]

Still doesn't shittalk it

[wheat plume]

he shit-talked it even when he made it

[empty wren]

He does hate Nvidia thouvh

[frozen ingot]

all the more reason

[cursive summit]

For all the right reasons

[frozen ingot]

"it all turned to shit once the kids started making their own changes"

[wheat plume]

yep

[empty wren]

If only things just worked mostly across

Like Android feels less fragmented

[frozen ingot]

nvidia is cancer but its working cancer

[wheat plume]

Yall like: USE WINDOWS
Me: Sends WIndows screenshot
Yall like: EW INSIDERS, GROSS

[cursive summit]

How'd those relate

[wheat plume]

same here .-.

I hate 11

[cursive summit]

I mean if you want to beta test features that are potentially unstable, sure

[wheat plume]

it looks way better, but thats about it

[cursive summit]

Fair enough though

Win11 looks absolute dogcrap

I will not transition to Win11 unless it's superlight/debloated

[wheat plume]

this looks better and the tabs are really great compared to 10

I dislike the lack of being able to drag and drop tabs to make new windows though

[cursive summit]

Why, just why, do you need tabs

[astral haven]

window management is massively improved

[cursive summit]

You do not need tabs

[wheat plume]

I often need many folders open at once

[astral haven]

some of us do work with files

[cursive summit]

I work with files and it's just fine the way it is??

It's worse with tabs

[wheat plume]

Id prefer to use split-pane instead of tabs but File Explorer doesnt have that

[astral haven]

if you dont like tabs, it literally makes no difference

[wheat plume]

^

[cursive summit]

Actually it does make a difference

[wheat plume]

?

[cursive summit]

Now I have more UI elements to ignore, that takes effort

[wheat plume]

?

[cursive summit]

Unless you can roll back to Win10 file explorer, I don't want to see the new one

[wheat plume]

ah yes, a + button....so un-usable

[final flame]

I went from having 5 explorer windows constantly open to 1, this is on windows 10btw

[cursive summit]

There are tabs on win10?

[wheat plume]

no

[final flame]

There is a way jank as it may be

[cursive summit]

Idk what this version is, but I am really not in the mood of ever upgrading the Windows versions anymore

[wheat plume]

who gonna bet they remove the ability to change cursor icon eventually?

[final flame]

@cursive summit
https://github.com/indiff/qttabbar

[cursive summit]

Cool, but no thanks

[final flame]

It also has quite a few other tweaks like changing explorer shortcuts making the window transparent and many other features

[cursive summit]

Transparency in Win7 style?

I didn't particularly like that feature tbf

[final flame]

You have a opacity slider

I'd assume it's just changing a registry value

Personally I prefer the default explorer with qttab bar

The "Files" application that emulates the windows 11 explorer is just garbage and slow

[wheat plume]

do sys-admins hate Windows?

I see a lot of them hating it

but also a lot that love it

[marsh glade]

Computers are like air conditioners

... they stop working once you open windows

i very much appreciate how they added screenshots to the notifications so you can pick them back up

[wheat plume]

huh?

[wheat plume]

ooh, that was in 10 also

[astral haven]

yea but it was added in a later version of 10

[wheat plume]

this

[cursive summit]

I dunno if you lads forgot, or never knew but

Screenshots were always saved up

Win key + V

[wheat plume]

Got to enable that manually the first time

for clipboard to open

and by default it tries to sync it to your MS account also 🤢

[astral haven]

yea but then you want to edit the screenshot

[cursive summit]

Ctrl V always works wonders

[astral haven]

paint is garbage

[cursive summit]

Just like your opinion on paint is

[astral haven]

its objectively awful at editing images

[cursive summit]

Your opinion on why paint is awful is also awful

Paint's a relic we need to preserve and cherish

[astral haven]

its great for drawing but its terrible for image editing

[final flame]

[gusty kiln]

I thought GIMP was the go-to free image/drawing software

or Paint.Net

[final flame]

Oh God no

Gimp

Gimp is just terrible ui, good luck learning it

[astral haven]

paint.net is fine but snip and sketch is far faster especially including the copy button

[gusty kiln]

I feel like I never hear about people using Sony Vegas anymore?

[astral haven]

davinci resolve is just so powerful and so cheap

[gusty kiln]

Like I bet sony studios prob use a version of Vegas

but outside of them idk

[final flame]

Affinity is good, only good alternative

[gusty kiln]

Adobe, Final Cut, and Davinci all carved out a good chunk of the market share

been like 3 weeks and Qobuz still haven't really created a good discovery mix for me

still gunna rely on Youtube music for recs I guess

[ashen spindle]

so internet was gone for a while so I had to use my phone hotspot to have internet during the raid

turns out I had to install itunes before I could use my phone via usb tether lol

so had to download that form my laptop via wifi to install that so I could tether to my pc

and either my phone was recording it wrongly or I used a whole 3mb for discord voice call+ raid for like 2 hours lol

[final flame]

@gusty kiln ok talked to the headphone dealer, and he no longer sells headphones
apparently selling them was not profitable at all so he decided to stop carrying them

I'm going to try bjorns audio but I don't think they'll have some of the nice nice stuff

[gusty kiln]

damn that sucks, but it does make sense

headphone buyers are less willing to spend grands compared to speakers buyers

and margins on most headphones under a grand is probably not that much

[final flame]

well I also live in a city that's mostly old people and boomers

[gusty kiln]

Taiwan/Singapore seems like the two best places for headphones/IEM auditions

[final flame]

ah

ummmm

[gusty kiln]

RIP

[final flame]

idk about that one chief

everything I've heard about the 660s is bad lmao

[gusty kiln]

guess the edition XS is probably the best blind buy

[final flame]

yea

[gusty kiln]

yeah, theres like a niche of people who like it

[astral haven]

they sound good
they are just not any better practically than the 6xx

[gusty kiln]

yeah, it's the same 6__ formula but not really better

[astral haven]

if they have the 660s they should have the 560s tho

and i really like the 560s

[gusty kiln]

there's a new 560s that are slightly downgraded

[astral haven]

-_-

[final flame]

well I already have a 6xx so I don't really want to stay in midfi hell

[gusty kiln]

but no one have done a deep dive on it yet though

[gusty kiln]

just blind buy the edition XS

[astral haven]

yea i tried the 660s and it wasnt really different enough to matter

i also have 6xx

[gusty kiln]

there's also the 109 Pros

[final flame]

I wanted to listen to some high end planars first to see really how much of a difference it'd make and whether that difference was worth it

[astral haven]

i do really enjoy the debacked he400se

and they are $100

[final flame]

a video can tell you how good something sounds kinda, but you'll never be able to tell until you actually listen to it and have something to compare to

[gusty kiln]

avoid audeze unless you like to EQ

[final flame]

it it just their dark signature?

[astral haven]

no they are extremely janky

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[astral haven]

completely messed up to the point where their dacs come with built in eq

[gusty kiln]

Even audeze have to create reveal+ to fix the tonal balance

[final flame]

so in the end edition xs or the moondrop venus are both the most safe options

edition xs being even more safe

[gusty kiln]

yeah

[astral haven]

I'm close to going xs myself but I just don't like headphones

I want to get some high end iems next bc I can actually use them...

[final flame]

I only really use iems when I'm at school and I don't really appreciate them enough for it to be worth a upgrade there imo

rn I'm using a starfield and a fiio m6 as a bluetooth reciever

with ldac

[astral haven]

Ya and I use them nearly exclusively now bc I only have time to listen to music when falling asleep and wearing open backs in bed is dumb

And when I'm taking phone calls it really doesn't matter lel

[final flame]

I considered upgrading to a dusk but yea I thought over it, I'll probably buy them if I have some spare cash when I'm in college

[astral haven]

Considering I value comfort over sound quality I'm having trouble considering the b2

[gusty kiln]

I recently bought a Fiio K7 and their FF5 earbuds

really liking them

[astral haven]

I'm a utws3 kinda guy lel

[final flame]

I rotate between my er2 and starfield

[gusty kiln]

I kinda wana try a nice bio-cellulose dynamic headphone

[astral haven]

It's just too uncomfortable for me to use the etys

[final flame]

the foam tips on the etys imo make it a lot easier

[astral haven]

Currently truthear zero wired at home, CCA cra+ az09 and utws3 salnotes zero on the go

[astral haven]

I tried the etys, dekonis, and Westone tips, none work for me while laying in bed

[final flame]

how do you like the zero?

[astral haven]

I like both, avoid the truthear tho bc its not compatible with tips, sounds great tho if one of the stock tips fits

[final flame]

gotta love musicbee

[gusty kiln]

yeah I use to use musicbee a lot

[final flame]

spent a while customizing it and now it looks great

also working on making a custom skin

[gusty kiln]

that's a lot of weeb music

[final flame]

yes

and that's also all the same artist

[gusty kiln]

I'm fully a music streamer now

lol jeez

[final flame]

weeb music sadly has to be local

due to the nature of sony

[gusty kiln]

Yeah other then YouTube and spotify, you can't get some music at cd quality

From streaming

What's your current desktop source?

[final flame]

wallpaper?

[gusty kiln]

Amp dac

[final flame]

oh schitt

[final flame]

I know this looks like weeb music but please take a listen
https://elixirnocturne2016.bandcamp.com/album/arcana-quelle

[gusty kiln]

Yeah you definitely want planar or estat for that kind of music

A lot going on in those tracks

[final flame]

Hatsuki yura's music is even more complex

[final flame]

that's the artist of all this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEMOYWjFn7E

here's a example

[gusty kiln]

Hd6xx must be struggling with the decay

[final flame]

yup

[gusty kiln]

XS are a bit brighter, fatigue might be a worry coming from the 6xx

[final flame]

I don't think it'll be too much of a issue

if it is eq is always a option

[gusty kiln]

Most of my music are simpler so 6xx are perfect, but I want a "super" version

[final flame]

most of the stuff I listen to has actual instruments or virtual instruments

or is live recorded

[astral haven]

this sounds pretty good
wish it wasnt japanese tho lel

[final flame]

she has instrumental versions of the majority of the songs in her discography

I mostly just don't listen to the vocals as vocals I listen to them as if they're a instrument

[astral haven]

sure but its alot more distracting than english for me

hmm the truthears feel like they are doing something wrong, the bass feels disconnected from the rest of the song

[ashen spindle]

that means you need to listen to more so it feels less distracting

[final flame]

that song also has a interesting tuning, it probably has a high pass filter

the song name is exorcist afterall

[astral haven]

actually its probably my mixer eq
oops

nah i found a compilation on youtube

nvm my eq was off

[charred lodge]

Should I buy white keycaps?

I want white keycaps

[shadow minnow]

Then yes

[frozen ingot]

if you want white ones you should buy the black, otherwise you'll have the white and not want them anymore

Guys with express interface 3.0 i can install an series 30 graphic cards?

[crimson wigeon]

Sure

[hallow topaz]

My motherboard is an asus rog strix z490 f gaming

Which is the best graphic cards for this motherboard?

[ashen spindle]

every modern card works

[crimson wigeon]

PCIE is pretty compatible, you just won't get optimum performance

[hallow topaz]

with a 3070 ti I wanted to change my 2060

[ashen spindle]

that will work just fine

[hallow topaz]

Ok What graphic card you Tip for me?

[ashen spindle]

idk how much money you want to spend

[hallow topaz]

700€

Or 600

[crimson wigeon]

4090

[ashen spindle]

3070 ti or 6800xt depending on what you can find for cheaper then I guess

well if you find a 4090 for that money sure take that xd

[hallow topaz]

I have an i7 10700k

[gusty kiln]

3070ti is a step down in terms of raster vs the 6800xt

But you get the creature comfort of nvidia features

[hallow topaz]

3080 is an up? Vs 6800xt?

[ashen spindle]

depends on which game

[gusty kiln]

3080/6800xt are about equal in raster

[hallow topaz]

Fortnite,valorant,gta ,r6,csgo,hogwarts legacy and other

[gusty kiln]

But 3080 are horribly priced for new

All above 700 usd from what I've seen

Might as well get a 4070ti

[hallow topaz]

Is at 700€?

[gusty kiln]

Idk gotta check your retailer

[hallow topaz]

1k bro

[carmine forge]

Yeah I spent £940 on mine but it had 12GB of VRAM which I sort of needed for one of my games

Well - to run it in 4k at max graphics

[hallow topaz]

Is good?

[carmine forge]

Imho a bit overpriced for a 3060 ti

[hallow topaz]

Ye

[carmine forge]

But yeah that’s a step or two down from the 3070ti

[hallow topaz]

One site sure for buy?

[carmine forge]

Idk too much about the lower end graphics range since I was looking at the 3080+ range when I built my pc so maybe @gusty kiln could help me out here

[ashen spindle]

wtf is that price I can get a 3070ti for 600 lol

[sharp badger]

Where are you from?

[carmine forge]

Yeah was saying

Like I would expect that pricing for October/November 2022

[hallow topaz]

Italy bro

[carmine forge]

But even then it’s on the high range by about €50

[hallow topaz]

Lol ahahahah

[sharp badger]

Might be able to buy something from Proshop

[hallow topaz]

Send me link in bio or here

Please

[ashen spindle]

https://geizhals.de/?fs=3070+ti&hloc=de

idk which shops send to italy but i imagine there are similar price comparison sites you can use

[hallow topaz]

Is affidable?

I think buy this

[fickle ore]

7800 xt wen

[fickle ore]

lol no wtf

[gusty kiln]

Are all amd gpu this gen using multi chip design?

Or only the 7900 series?

[hallow topaz]

No?

[cursive summit]

Ween

... ocean man

[reef patrol]

TAKE ME BY THE HAND

LEAD ME TO THE LAND

[cursive summit]

Wey wey, don't stop there

[fickle ore]

FEED ME WITH THE JANK

[gusty kiln]

7800xt is doa if it is anything over 600 usd

[cursive summit]

I don't see why?

6800XT launched at 649 and it was insane at that price bracket

[fickle ore]

no god no, last gen pos dont buy it

[ashen spindle]

his budget doesnt work for current gen so there is no other option

[fickle ore]

dont feed them inflation

hold diamond handsssss

[cursive summit]

There's nothing wrong with 3070(Ti)

I'd rather advice to get a used 6800-6900 for that price

Quite a bit of them on the emarkets

[gusty kiln]

Yeah but the 6950XT is 699 at most retailers

[ashen spindle]

n31/n32 are split up, n33 is monolithic and on 6nm

[gusty kiln]

[cursive summit]

n30 utilizes void technology

[gusty kiln]

Hopfully avoid the idle and multi monitor issue

Power draw

[hallow topaz]

And What you Tip?

[gusty kiln]

7800xt matching a 6950xt for 100 less is meh

[cursive summit]

Didn't scroll up the chat, what's your GPU budget

[gusty kiln]

700 e-hoes

[cursive summit]

That's a new name for euro?

[gusty kiln]

Damn rite

[cursive summit]

Fair nuff

[fickle ore]

wait 1-3 months, if you can otherwise kiss your money good bye!

[cursive summit]

Hmm

[gusty kiln]

Ew biostar

[cursive summit]

A card's a card

[fickle ore]

haha Nvidia lolololol

[cursive summit]

I hope Nvidia goes bankrupt as some point

Just some personal bias

[fickle ore]

Yeah, intel ftw we need intel gpus

[gusty kiln]

Where's intel market cap at?

Oh yikes, it's actually lower than AMD

[ashen spindle]

amd got big from pensando+xilinx mergers

[cursive summit]

Nvidia got big from talking big about AI and are still inflated

[gusty kiln]

Yeah and intel also sold a lot of their divisions

Makes sense now

[hallow topaz]

700€

[cursive summit]

I linked a 6900XT for 650 from the ebayz

[gusty kiln]

I mean nvidia makes mad profits

[cursive summit]

Customer returns, so borderline new

With shipping

6900XT is a mad good card though

[cursive summit]

Nvidia's valuation last I checked is about the same as AMD's

Yet in stock price is double

It should crash by 50%

[gusty kiln]

Yeah but this is stocks

Is like 90% perception

[cursive summit]

GameStop ftw

[gusty kiln]

6800xt for 570 at microcenter

[ashen spindle]

doesnt make much sense to compare nvidia and amd as companies

one makes gpus and the other makes cpus with some gpu side hustle

[cursive summit]

They are very much still in the same sphere and competitors

[gusty kiln]

I'm torn between getting that or just jumping to the 800 7900xt/4070ti

[cursive summit]

In more ways than just GPUs too

[ashen spindle]

they overlap in some areas, amd has basically nothing in the area where >50% of nvidias income is ffrom

[cursive summit]

What's that, AI accelerated datacenters?

[ashen spindle]

nobody uses rocm or instinct cards outside supercomputers that are specific deals

[gusty kiln]

Big boy consoles

Sony can't make enough still

[ashen spindle]

without console money RTG would make so little lol

[gusty kiln]

I just want amd to snipe Nintendo from nvidia

Console monopoly

[cursive summit]

Sadly, won't happen

[ashen spindle]

would be nice but wont happen

[cursive summit]

Would be cool but won't

[ashen spindle]

not because nvidia would not let it happen but because nintendo wouldn't bother

[cursive summit]

Jensen was in Japan recently apparently, visiting Nintendo

Solidifying their friendships

[ashen spindle]

in 2020 data center was less than half of what nvidia made with gaming, gaming revenue doubled since then and data center is now higher than gaming, amd aint competing there lol

[gusty kiln]

Wonder what's the margin on those tegra chips for nvidia

Over 120 million switch sold

[cursive summit]

I don't imagine those are very expensive

Like 50$ or something

[gusty kiln]

Couple of dollars x 120 million is still a chunck of money

[gusty kiln]

Yeah don't hear much about those instinct cards

Maybe biiiiiiiiggggg boy APU might shake things up

[ashen spindle]

well the isue is it doesnt run cuda

so until meta finish making pytorch and all run just as well on non cuda hardware too much needs to be rewritten

[astral haven]

and it doesnt run ai workloads nearly as well as tensor

[astral haven]

and thats talking raw compute performance ignoring api issues

[ashen spindle]

they might get lucky if stuff like tenstorrent takes over ai hardware so people use those more than nvidia cards and they can compete on more traditional use cases heh

[astral haven]

yea as if nvidia will just sit still and let that happen

[ashen spindle]

you never know, maybe jensen will fall asleep for 2 years

[astral haven]

he would get voted off at the very next shareholder meeting lel

Rtings have released their review of the LG OLED, also the AW3423DWF has been reviewed too if anyone is interested
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gr95qe-b

[gusty kiln]

Shame companies are leaving out strobing for oled now

Strobing on the older lg oled tv where nice

[astral haven]

strobing is really really damaging to the oled tho unless you massively decrease the effective brightness

[gusty kiln]

Fine for me cuz I usually play at lower brightness

[astral haven]

no im serious

like below bottom tier crt levels

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/first-125-dollar-amd-ryzen-7000-motherboard-hits-back-at-high-platform-prices Cheap board

[gusty kiln]

Of course it's asrock

[astral haven]

the problem is still the ddr5...

[ashen spindle]

im just waiting for oled to reach higher hz so black frame insertion can be used without dropping to 60hz

that should be good

[gusty kiln]

Decent 6000 kits are starting at 150

[astral haven]

thats still $150 more than you need to pay for the ddr4 you already have (which you can use with raptor lake)

[sharp badger]

Yeah and there's the new ram 24, 48 & 96GB kits out too

[astral haven]

which arent fully functional in all boards yet

[gusty kiln]

Waiting for viewsonic to make their next blurbuster approved monitor

[sharp badger]

DDR4 builds are still the way to save money unless there's a great bundle

But had some bad DDR4 in my old PC so went with DDR5 instead but should've went the A Hynix 64GB OC way to save cash but eh, whatever, should've done a bit more research

[gusty kiln]

Or live near a microcenter

https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx

Price seems good, but dunno about the quality of mobo and ram

Could be filler junk

[sharp badger]

If i remember correctly the Prime AMD boards are bad https://twitter.com/harukaze5719/status/1631102273916145664?t=smb8erbRnBOw3z7F2Ni7xA&s=19

PRIME is always the problem...

Got a Sheet with "all" the AM5 motherboards

포시포시 (@harukaze5719)

AMD AM5 MOBO DB [ X670(E) / B650(E) / A620 ]

Gonna make sheet for socket platform, not by chipset.
Will update future platform. (AMD 700 series and more)

Share and comment are helpful to me :)

yeah..

[pale sigil]

Weird, I thought I fixed WoL

But it seems to be not working again

[reef patrol]

smh you don't believe enough in the heart of the cards.

You're not praying hard enough to Hydaelyn

Shouldn't have picked warrior of darkness.

[ashen spindle]

he's just on his pseudo elidibus trip I think

when I see stuff like that I always have to think about people who argue about dem vs rep votes based on how big the red states are and not where people live heh

[reef patrol]

It's almost as if people live near water.

[ashen spindle]

oh god youtube made their layout worse again
