"Q Lite is not a cloud-streaming device, but instead uses Remote Play with the PlayStation 5"

What... is.. the point?

[ashen spindle]

wii u tablet but useful I guess

[cursive summit]

So it might not do anything by itself

So to use your handheld you need a PS5

Both have to be on and you have to be in the same network

That is not a good idea, imo, phones can do the same thing already

[thick elk]

I bought my psp go from someone who used it for exactly that purpose

but that was over a decade ago

[cursive summit]

Vita is still incredibly underrated

[thick elk]

Honestly just killed by proprietary storage and most of all sony's lack of support

[frozen ingot]

sony apparently weren't happy about sales figures not matching nintendo switch

still sold quite well from what I recalled

[cursive summit]

Right, what happened now

LTT's TechLinked is gone

[reef patrol]

[thick elk]

I think he accepted it: https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/1643403195232796672

[gusty kiln]

Is the review embargo for the 7800x3d today?

[old marlin]

not much to see about it?

was fairly decently covered with the 7950x3d with one ccd disabled already

[thick elk]

The interesting thing would be where prices will stabilize at

[ashen spindle]

apparently yes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B31PwSpClk8

lmao

[vagrant pagoda]

Now just wait for someone to uv it

[ashen spindle]

emulation is also an easy win it seems

especially for ps3 emulation since they have avx512 unlike intel xd

[reef patrol]

Aaand of course Linus' video is a giant clickbait

[ashen spindle]

yeah its a bit weird

[frozen ingot]

what video

[crimson wigeon]

Clickbait works

[reef patrol]

Their coverage of aforementioned CPU.

[reef patrol]

Well for me it actively discourages me from watching it 😛

[old marlin]

wait there is a linux video?

[crimson wigeon]

Exactly

[old marlin]

ah

loads in now

[reef patrol]

AYYEMDEE DECEIVETH USSSS

HOW DAAAAAARE

[ashen spindle]

he's mad that amd launched the more expensive ones first so consumers find more comparisons of those?

[old marlin]

lemme guess "better at games" yadda yadda?

[ashen spindle]

its a bit weird because thats how all tech works, he literally mentions it in gpus as well

like, is he still mad TR zen3 isnt there due to market not exisitng?

[old marlin]

it's how you make sales on halo products

[cursive summit]

The difference between the benchmarking of Linus and co and someone like GN is just massive

I get that LTT is supposed to be digestible for noobies and is widely approachable, but man is it redundant

[ashen spindle]

? what benchmarking difference is there

the numbers seemed the same this time so whats the issue here with the benches

[vagrant pagoda]

The market dose exist

And is just pricing TR pro crazy high because no competition

[gusty kiln]

Seems it's actually a bit more efficient than the 7950x3d with 1 ccx disabled

[vagrant pagoda]

TR pro dosent cost amd anymore per product. They could of just replaced TR with tr pro with a small price bump

Making it still available as diy

But they didnt

[ashen spindle]

Yes it exists but not enough for amd to care when intel can’t compete and epyc needs the same chips

[vagrant pagoda]

Lol

It's all the same chips

Only apu and mobile use different chips

[old marlin]

yea amd doesn't make them because they don't want to earn money

quite obvious

[ashen spindle]

Yes but any tr could be an epyc chip sold with higher margins

[vagrant pagoda]

No they just priced out the prosumer for nothing other than getting more money from business customers

[vagrant pagoda]

They have a different io die

So it's the same as saying any Ryzen could be eypc

[old marlin]

yea it is just amd refusing profit

[ashen spindle]

well yeah but you have 1-2 dies on ryzen vs up to 8 on epyc so and there is value in getting marketshare and all that in a TAM that is vastly above the TAM of workstations

[vagrant pagoda]

You're having a hard time reading?

It's the opposite

[ashen spindle]

TR would sell, just at less profit than epyc

[vagrant pagoda]

AMD threw prosumer under the bus for more money from big customers buying TR pro

[ashen spindle]

and for the longest time during Zen3 they have been fully supply constraint

[vagrant pagoda]

If they would of just slapped 20% on TR to tr pro, prosumer would buy it

But instead it's more like 60%

[ashen spindle]

lel

[vagrant pagoda]

I fear zen4 will stomp on SR and AMD will keep it's TR Pro pricing

[ashen spindle]

I expect that to be the case

I dont think FHF is enough to get amd to launch regular zen4 TR

unless they want the marketshare

[vagrant pagoda]

Plus once AMD perfects stacking is going to be bulldozer years for intel

[gusty kiln]

Oh wow even the 13600k still uses like 50w more

[vagrant pagoda]

5ghz zen 4 x3d would be insane

[ashen spindle]

gotta applaud intel for raptor lake though

[gusty kiln]

7800x3d should be popular in the EU

[ashen spindle]

image if they didnt decide to squeeze that refresh in and we still only had 12th gen

[gusty kiln]

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

12th gen be looking bad lol

Crazy that amd has over 20% boost waiting in bonding tech lol

[gusty kiln]

Bonding tech?

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes

How they attach the 3d vcache

[gusty kiln]

Ahh

Thought it was infinity fabric related

[ashen spindle]

curious how zen5 is going to be just as a first look at the 5 ryzen generations they had since the redesign of the company, since zen5 was started to be thought about while zen1 came out

[vagrant pagoda]

The current tech is extremely thermally limited

Hence the voltage/oc limits

But imagine 5.7 ghz out of x3d

[gusty kiln]

Then it'll be able to match the non x3d in csgo

[mild dome]

With CPUs getting hotter and hotter, I wonder if manufacturers might get more creative with the IHS.
Like an IHS that's also a liquid cooler. So you just connect a custom loop to it

[ashen spindle]

no the IHS is just a fancy cover to stop die cracking from bad mounting and such

[gusty kiln]

Ihs also is only using glue/solder for attachment

[vagrant pagoda]

And hotter isn't an issue unless it doesn't meet the specs

[ashen spindle]

^

[gusty kiln]

Only issue with zen 4 is the ihs thickness

[vagrant pagoda]

Which is why modern chips just always run at thermal or power limits under load

[vagrant pagoda]

Because amd keep cooler compatible

Unlike intel

[ashen spindle]

if you stack stuff you need to cool more stuff in a die, the IHS is not relevant for that

the best IHS wont change how hot the part below the stacked cache gets

[vagrant pagoda]

3d cache is the same height

[gusty kiln]

Either way the X3D chips runs relatively cool

[ashen spindle]

I mean the zen cores below the cache, inside the package

[mild dome]

More transitions means more heat getting trapped.

[vagrant pagoda]

There are no thermal sensors readable in the 3d cache

So you have no idea lol

[gusty kiln]

Well the normal cpu sensors suggests it runs cool

[ashen spindle]

doesn't matter, you can do direct die cooling and it would still be limited since the vcache acts like a IHS for the cores below it lol

so making the IHS better when the part that needs better cooling is below what the IHS touches wont change anything

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah that's on the normal die

The stacked die could be running way hotter

[mild dome]

Would AMD or Intel ever consider shipping a CPU without an IHS?

[ashen spindle]

thats how it used to be in the past

[gusty kiln]

The 7800x3d was running in the 60s

[vagrant pagoda]

They do

For mobile

[gusty kiln]

In hardware Canucks video

[ashen spindle]

but also no point in doing that again, IHS is not the bottleneck for desktop when we are getting stacked chips

the stacked part needs the cooling

[sharp badger]

So 13600K w/DDR4 is still better value?

[ashen spindle]

for value you probably go with like a 12400f or similar

[gusty kiln]

7800x3d was never about value

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah even the 5800x3d wasn't a value buy

[sharp badger]

Ok or getting a good deal for the 5800X3D is too an option 👀

[ashen spindle]

older gens always depend on what you can get locally for ram/board/cpu prices since that fluctuates more

[gusty kiln]

@vagrant pagoda

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah¿

That reading has nothing to do with the second die

[gusty kiln]

What 2nd die?

7800x3d

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

What do you thing the 3d means

Stacked dies

[sharp badger]

There was recently an ''Upgrade kit'' priced at 999,90€ and the parts where : Gigabyte B650E, 7900X & 32GB DDR5 @6000MHz

[ashen spindle]

the one CCD on a 7800x3d is a chiplet made from 2 dies

[vagrant pagoda]

They bond a second die

[ashen spindle]

so the temperature of the cores doesnt necessarily reflect the temps in the L3 cache on top

[gusty kiln]

Ahh ok

[vagrant pagoda]

The bonding between the dies isn't very good thermally

Which is why amd limits voltage

[gusty kiln]

Huh. Discord seems to be crapping out with that screen shot

At least on my phone

[ashen spindle]

@vagrant pagoda looks like they did add some sensors

[vagrant pagoda]

Where is that from?

[ashen spindle]

chipsncheese discord

[vagrant pagoda]

The 7900 and 7950 didn't get extra l3 temp

Is the second l3 any different than the first?

[ashen spindle]

dunno yet

[vagrant pagoda]

They didn't show the actual readings?

[ashen spindle]

nah just that image, trying to find out more

[vagrant pagoda]

Why in the world would you only take a picture of that

Unless the reading was bogus

[ashen spindle]

oh its not new, it's there since zen3 last year apparently and not for the stacked cache

[thick elk]

I wish people would benchmark paradox games more,
For now I will use this as an analog:
Seems like a good option

[ashen spindle]

thats why the idea of something like userbenchmark is nice, if they wouldn't be run by someone with an intel cpu in their ass

or 10

[thick elk]

Userbenchmarks won't help here as there is no good build in option and the variance is quite high. You would be benchmarking time til x while in observer mode at speed 5.
Also a good reason why reviewers don't run it, you could setup a scenario, maybe with mods but it would be a lot of work to get something repeatable.

[ashen spindle]

sure but you could add infos or recordings or anything to have a general idea

wont cover every case but could if done right do a lot more infos than detailed reviews can

maybe LTTs labs software can help out there, if they fuck up data maybe the users can make it good at least

[gusty kiln]

The only thing I'm interested coming out of LTT labs are headphone measurements

At least those will use industry standard tools

[astral haven]

the more the variance, the more samples you need

[gusty kiln]

Not home brew

Whatever target they will use is another story

[astral haven]

except technically their website is homebrewed so does that count as not using industry standard tools 🤦‍♂️

theres no good tool for mass pc benchmarking that isnt run by a tool

ubm? ew
capframex? same basically

so they need their own tool

[ashen spindle]

oh dont remind me of copeframe

they really need to just fire the guy running the twitter account

such a waste of software when run by someone like that

[astral haven]

to be entirely fair tho, the tool is great, but when a tool is in charge, its difficult to trust it

[ashen spindle]

[astral haven]

besides that, i think that ltt will be the first to numerically measure the binding of keyboards, which I would love to know before recommending stuff, especially cheaper stuffs

[ashen spindle]

before launch he goes about how the 7950x3d wont beat 13900k, silence about the topic in the forums since the launch, now he looks at the one review that did not follow the review guide and reinstalled the chipset drivers and had results from the bugged install just to present it as if amd is bad or something

so annoying when people have such an obvious agenda and cant even try to act neutral

sure go ahead and point out the bug, but how many consumers will go from a 2ccd vcache chip to a single ccd vcache chip even lol

[thick elk]

Interestingly the 7800x3d does seem to lose to the 7950x3d with one ccd disabled, be it by a few percent at least according to tweakers: https://tweakers.net/reviews/10988/17/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-de-langverwachte-intel-killer-in-games-extra-test-gesimuleerde-7800x3d-vs-de-echte.html
I am unsure on how good their testing was considering mixed results and it should point to one direction.

[ashen spindle]

yeah it has ever so slightly lower clocks

[fickle ore]

and probably boosts for less

[ashen spindle]

no they keep boost clocks under load

its not like the old intel tau1 etc. where you get 10second burst of clocks

[astral haven]

https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/images/boost-clock-analysis.png
its still rather janky

[fickle ore]

shrug, my 5800x boosts ST perf

[ashen spindle]

well thats not sustained load that is different thread counts

[astral haven]

its a medium duration load ye

god i really wish someone would make an am5 board with an x8 4.0 or x16 3.0 slot

[ashen spindle]

call asrock and order enough and they make it for you

[astral haven]

doubt it considering asus didnt make one this gen even after making one for am4

[gusty kiln]

I forgot where I read it from but doesn't Asus basically have its hand is all the other 3 brands?

[astral haven]

yep

asus makes all of the chipsets for amd besides x570

[fickle ore]

Does anyone know some good wireless IEM's (the more harman the better), dont care for bass, don't wanna EQ just want flat boring sound for acoustic music mostly and vocals

100-200$

[astral haven]

define wireless

[fickle ore]

no wires

[gusty kiln]

Probably whatever is the current most popular set

[astral haven]

fiio utws3 + salnotes zero

[fickle ore]

Oh those fit most iems?

[gusty kiln]

It comes in 2 pin and mmcx

So yeah any

[astral haven]

yep
might want to get the mmcx version regardless

then a 2 pin adapter if you have 2 pin iems

[fickle ore]

Thanks, that's a good suggestion but maybe something crappier, bc those weigh 125g. I'm sure they sound better but I just want something really low weight and comfortable

[astral haven]

they hook around the ear

out of akg n400, galaxy buds+, wfxm4, utws3 the utws3 are the most secure

[gusty kiln]

DEWALT True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds — TWS Bluetooth Headphones — Wireless Earbuds with Type C Charging Case — Waterproof Wireless Earphones — Jobsite Pro-X1 Premium Sound for Outdoor Work https://a.co/d/id4RZDq

[astral haven]

if you want crappier tho, cca cra+ az09 combo is cheap and works, but is solidly bass

[fickle ore]

fuck im lazy Im just looking at Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless

and akg400

those seem promising

[gusty kiln]

If you own a samsung phone just get the galaxy buds for convenience

[astral haven]

and galaxy buds are solidly the most harman

[fickle ore]

I just want it for PC usage haha

[gusty kiln]

For pc use? Then the epos ones

They come with an adapter for pc

[astral haven]

n400 has a bit of the ear piercing sound issue

[final flame]

Haram

[final flame]

Just don't get any of senheisers wireless stuff

None of it is worth it

[vagrant pagoda]

I love my fiios

[gusty kiln]

The fiio ft3 looks interesting

[vagrant pagoda]

I have the true wireless ones

[vagrant pagoda]

Utws5

With my kz lol

Like 150 Bluetooth amps with a $30 pair of iems

[latent mural]

why do you want wireless?

https://crinacle.com/guide/tws/

I think anything on here would be fine

[vagrant pagoda]

That's dosent change the aq

[astral haven]

what

[vagrant pagoda]

What headphones has it always on?

[astral haven]

the n400 and galaxy buds all verifiably dont

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

[astral haven]

as do the wfxm4

nope

and you are sure that its the microphone that is broken and not your firmware?

i mean sonys firmware updater is pretty garbage

[vagrant pagoda]

You sure the actual PCB inside wasn't damaged

[astral haven]

but if you clocked it hard enough that you think you broke the mic, what makes you think the rest of the device is working as intended?

[vagrant pagoda]

And not the mic

My fiios you can even disable the anc for the mic

Which is neet

I mean you'd never be able to tell with naked eye

The stuff is super tiny and covered in conformal coating

Because touch controls suck ass

Single control is best

[pure oyster]

Anyone good with PC hardware who could DM me? Planning on upgrading, but can't pick the correct CPU

It's only better for purely gaming and even then it's sort of 50/50 between games that like the L3 cache and games that prefer higher frequency - I've been looking at benchmarks the past 3-4 hours trying to figure it out, but so many of them show different results which makes things a tad confusing

[vagrant pagoda]

Look at the gap between the x3d and x

Spaghetti code goes zoom

This is how going from a 5900x to 5800x3d felt

RimWorld was my go-to at the time and it was easily 2x improvement across the board l9l

[lofty pivot]

unless you specifically want intel to get the intel quicksync chip for twitch streaming there's no reason I'd pick intel over a 7800x3d right now

[astral haven]

and even then just go nvidia + amd

the only advantage of intel is its alot cheaper

[lofty pivot]

yeah the nvidia is barely worse for streaming quality to a non noticable level

[astral haven]

no nvidia is better

[lofty pivot]

not right now no

[astral haven]

just slows down your game more

[lofty pivot]

intels quicksync is a little better

for image quality and such

but it's basically non noticable, especially when you consider a lot of your audience is watching in non full quality

[astral haven]

maybe vs 30 series

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean am5 has video encoding on igpu

[astral haven]

but 40 series nv is measureably better than 13th gen or arc

[lofty pivot]

nah even 40 series, trust me - intel is better there, but it doesn't matter in the big picture since audience won't notice

[vagrant pagoda]

But yeah nvec is amazing

Compared to intel or amd

[vagrant pagoda]

Not even close lol

[lofty pivot]

40 series uses the same chip encoding but with av1 added, but av1 isn't available on twitch yet

[astral haven]

im gonna need some sauce on that, the epos benchmarks of 40 series were insanely impressive

[lofty pivot]

i mean, you can look up videos on the quality differences with intel quicksync and nvenc

yes epos is using av1

av1 isn't a thing on twitch

he's showcasing youtubes av1 but twitch won't have that for 1-2 years or more

[vagrant pagoda]

Anyway that only effects a small market

[fickle ore]

With intel you get decades of expertise and with amd you get buncha burger flippers making bios code!

[vagrant pagoda]

Big streamer have dedicated stream rigs

[lofty pivot]

guys - i'm literally a paid streamer here, you can trust me when I say i've tested this stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

Small streamers aren't complaint about a small diff in visual

Also you could just get a 7950x and do CPU encode lol

[astral haven]

thats very obviously untrue, it supports 4k120 encoding on h264 5 and vp9 as well as av1

and epos showed the quality improvements on h264 and 5

[lofty pivot]

you're not quite getting it - i'm not talking about what it supports or records, i'm talking picture quality when encoded onto twitch

[vagrant pagoda]

That's literally what he's talking about

[lofty pivot]

epos literally has a video with 40 series and quicksync

where it shows quicksync is better

but very negligibly so

[astral haven]

you specifically said this
this is untrue and quite verifiably so

[astral haven]

link? guess i havent seen it

[lofty pivot]

you can look up the chipset, it's basically their old chipset but with av1 added in their filings

[vagrant pagoda]

The real question is

If you run CPU encode on a 7950x3d

On the non x3d ccx

How much does that effect game performance

[lofty pivot]

honestly i would never run cpu or gpu encode

even if it were better quality the gain vs just using a chip in quicksync or nvenc isn't worth

[vagrant pagoda]

Then you don't encode?

Quick sync is GPU encode lol

[lofty pivot]

yeah i mean the dedicated encoding chip vs actual cpu encoding

[astral haven]

by that definition theres no gpu encode

you are talking about the vpu

[vagrant pagoda]

Nvec is in die lol

[astral haven]

but the vpu is part of the gpu

[vagrant pagoda]

So is quick sync

[lofty pivot]

we're talking semantics here at this point, but basically i mean I'd never use the actual gpu/cpu setting itself and i'd pick quicksync or nvenc

[astral haven]

the gpu is the physical entity, a vpu is just a unit within it

[lofty pivot]

in obs

[astral haven]

that implies theres an option to use the gpu without using quicksync or nvenc

there simply isnt

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean there is a cuda h264

[lofty pivot]

^

[astral haven]

nope
thats not gpu encoding

[vagrant pagoda]

That is still using CPU or gpu

[astral haven]

thats not available anywhere any more lel

[vagrant pagoda]

?

[lofty pivot]

i don't even know why we're getting into a weird semantics debate here when the common line is you'd never really want to use anything besides quicksync or nvenc

[vagrant pagoda]

It's not semantics you're just flat out wrong in your terminology

[lofty pivot]

my mistake, when you mentioned 'cpu streaming' i thought you meant selecting the cpu setting itself in obs

[astral haven]

if you try to encode today with the cuda api, it will use the vpu
to actually force it to use shaders, you need to go waaaaaaay back to ancient cuda versions

[lofty pivot]

which is different from selecting quicksync

[vagrant pagoda]

Not ture with modern games

Loads uses 8+ threads

[lofty pivot]

they're separate settings when you set up obs

[astral haven]

yes but theres no way to use the gpu without using the vpus (quicksync, nvenc, vcn)

cpu ofc
gpu no

[latent mural]

why not just build a separate streaming rig?'

[lofty pivot]

it's not worth doing nowadays

[astral haven]

bigger problem is memory

cpu encoding consumes system ram bandwidth

[lofty pivot]

complicates your recording/streaming setup when single rig works amazing now

[latent mural]

I had one and liked it a lot

[astral haven]

you do get lower performance

[vagrant pagoda]

Most people don't have 7950xs lol

[latent mural]

I found the sound tough to figure out though since I had no mixed

[lofty pivot]

it used to be super good, but nowadays it's kind of unneeded since you just set it to nvenc or quicksync and it works amazing

[astral haven]

depends on the complexity of your stream

[vagrant pagoda]

Do you have a second rig so that your stream doesn't go down when your game crashes your PC lol

That's how I always did it

[lofty pivot]

if you're baller setup you'd have a server that would go to waiting screen when you crash

[astral haven]

my streaming is mixing generally 5 programs and 3 cameras, so it cant handle encoding as well

[vagrant pagoda]

I did

[lofty pivot]

otherwise you have like 60 or 90 secs to get stream back up to save it

[vagrant pagoda]

I used nging rmpt for it

Rtmp

[astral haven]

you mean nginx?

[lofty pivot]

honestly streaming on a whole is way unnecessary to complicate the technical side of things - at end of the day long as you have the basic setup right then content and planning is 99% of it

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah I murdered the whole name

Nginx rtmp

[latent mural]

if you want a dual setup then get dual setup, if you don't then don't

[lofty pivot]

a lot of the streamer friends i know with dual setups kind of ditched them

it just made the entire process of everything messy when they wanted to change things

[vagrant pagoda]

Zoom zoom

[latent mural]

well most people don't even need a dual setup, but if people have disposable income who cares what they do with their money

[lofty pivot]

sure - but what I mean is full time streamers with the income, including myself, have mostly ditched double systems due to them being more annoying to fiddle with than the gain

[vagrant pagoda]

Most people don't care what the steam looks like at the level between encoding options lol

[lofty pivot]

it's not so much about price or whatever, just that it increases annoying things when you want to change the setup or change things in the setup

[astral haven]

biggest reason we use dual pc setup is we arent allowed to get internet access on some of the computers, and the program needs lan access
dual pc prevents problems with networks
we have a far more complex setup than any random twitch streamer will need

[latent mural]

oic, but you play WoW though?

[lofty pivot]

indeed I do

[latent mural]

ahhh, WoW isn't very competitive though, no?

When I played CSGO. I felt that dual stream setup was smoother then single setup

[lofty pivot]

in what way do you mean competitive?

[vagrant pagoda]

Wut

It's compative by nature lol

Competitive

[latent mural]

yeah but in WoW you fight in raids not unless you PvP

[astral haven]

wow just doesnt scale with fps tho

[lofty pivot]

wow has arena

and wow is very cpu heavy

[astral haven]

you dont have to worry about inching every last fps out of it

[astral haven]

maybe in 2008 lmao

[lofty pivot]

nah even now

[astral haven]

nowdays its just high apparent load

[lofty pivot]

5800x3d gave huge gains to my wow performance

although your fps will still tank in a major city but not much you can do there

[vagrant pagoda]

Not really

Fps can get crushed in high traffic raids

[lofty pivot]

yeah for sure

[astral haven]

but its not something that will meaningfully change your gameplay ability

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah it dose

[astral haven]

if you got locked to 30 fps in csgo at the higher levels, you would get absolutely destroyed

in wow it would just be annoying

[lofty pivot]

why would you lock to 30 fps in cs go

[astral haven]

to prove a point

[vagrant pagoda]

You could missing timings and fail a raid

Or die in pvp

[astral haven]

with 30 fps?

[lofty pivot]

sure

i'm confused what we're discussing though

what does this have to do with single streaming rig being the go to?

[astral haven]

a single rig for streaming is guaranteed to lower your fps by at least some microscopic amount

[vagrant pagoda]

30fps is good in some places for wow lol

[lofty pivot]

sure

[astral haven]

for a wow player, meh
for a csgo or quake player it can be game ending

[lofty pivot]

but double streaming rig adds a lot of complicity and things that can go wrong or need to be changed/setup

[astral haven]

yes

[lofty pivot]

which is why even a lot of competitive fps streamers don't go double

some do for sure, but the majority just go single now

[astral haven]

well actually all of them do at least in a tournament setting 😛

never heard of a tournament with screen recording being run locally

[lofty pivot]

yeah sure, but i mean that's not really the situation we're discussing though right

[latent mural]

I found dual setup smoother when playing in CSO and wouldn't get as much rubber banding issues or lag. With 1 pc setup I get lag.

[lofty pivot]

that'd be for sure true awhile ago

single rigs got a lot more powerful in recent days

[astral haven]

eh youd be surprised

[latent mural]

it was on ryzen 3600x and 1070

[lofty pivot]

if you did double rig awhile back i can see why

yeah that was quite a bit ago

[astral haven]

well thats pretty weak for streaming lmao

[lofty pivot]

double rigs were still popular then

[latent mural]

I just ditched it cuz I didn't want to deal with audio mixing

[latent mural]

not rly, csgo is a old ass game

[astral haven]

even 5950x solidly loses performance when you stream when playing csgo

[lofty pivot]

like right now I can stream valorant with super high fps at 1440p while recording and still be way above the frames i'd want for competitive

[astral haven]

cpu or nvenc same story

[lofty pivot]

5800x3d plus 4070ti already gives me 500-700 fps consistent, then you take a minor hit when you stream but it's still waaay above what you'd need for stable fps

[astral haven]

i will bet a copy of titanfall 2 your frametimes are consistently worse than 2ms

probably even 5%s much less 1% or .1%

[lofty pivot]

probably, i'd assume a 10% drop from streaming and recording at same time

[astral haven]

i would be shocked if you were getting even 5ms frametimes while streaming and recording on 1 pc

(thats 200 fps btw)

tho i dont have enough money to put down for that

[lofty pivot]

are you saying my frames will drop to 200 or you mean just the ms delay?

[astral haven]

i mean the amount of time it takes between your worst frames will be more than 5ms

[lofty pivot]

i haven't measured the net hit to total input lag and such - that would be an interesting thing to check out actually

[astral haven]

nope

just time between frames

thats what frametimes mean lol

[lofty pivot]

yeah but i mean the total lag delay everything included

[astral haven]

🤷 thats expensiveish to measure

[lofty pivot]

yeah and annoying too, would be interesting to see though

[astral haven]

actually with nvidias new monitors its rather easy

it measures everything for you

[lofty pivot]

although that all said, even if i were to swap to competitive fps streaming i'd still never go double rig

the headache of managing more stuff isn't worth

[astral haven]

🤷 i find it actually easier to manage but you do you

[lofty pivot]

oh for sure, you're probably very tech focused and enjoy that sort of thing though

[latent mural]

ahh I have a 5600x and 3070 now, but never stream

[astral haven]

physically separating the tasks also separates the software, meaning that theres a clear devide where you can see where the problem is appearing

[latent mural]

yeah it was a pain trying to set it up. I can see why people do just single streams

[lofty pivot]

when it comes to streaming the large majority of streamers want everything as basic and easy as possible, so that if they do move or change things up it's super simple to just go live

[astral haven]

as always it depends

[lofty pivot]

well yeah, i'm just talking for most streamers, there's always exceptions

[astral haven]

tho i can blame most of my issues on amd

why do you refuse to fix usb on x570

gah

if i could use all my usb ports, i wouldnt have a problem

[latent mural]

streamer starter pack. sm7b - nano leaf - elgato deck/lights

[lofty pivot]

usually as a streamer you spend so much time worrying about fixing content or planning content that you want as little energy as possible to do tech stuff

[astral haven]

🤷 for a 1 person stream sure

[lofty pivot]

and that's coming from someone who is pretty into tech and such - there's a large portion of streamers who don't even know how their computer works

[latent mural]

you need a hot tub too

[astral haven]

and sure ive never been in a 1 person stream, i only do the tech side of the stream, the content is provided to me and im just in charge of placing the cameras and making sure they work

but that is in fact a workflow that exists

[lofty pivot]

oh for sure, you work in a different environment

you'd be amazed at how many streamers don't even know what the basic specs of their computer are, they just know to hit the right buttons to make stream work

[astral haven]

and when im responsible for the stream, i get the people who want to share their screen to give me an hdmi out lel
if their hdmi out doesnt work thats on them

[astral haven]

I realized I hadn't updated mine when I said this and I started the update right then
It's still not done

thats embarrassing for sony tbh

[latent mural]

do you know Shaun White?

[lofty pivot]

not personally, i've met him in training camps and such but we don't know each other

[latent mural]

I never got into snowboarding since I live far away from the mountains, but did do long boarding for a bit.

I remember watching Technine snowboarding videos though. I don't know if they are still around or not

[lofty pivot]

honestly i've been out of the scene for so long, but a lot of those smaller companies got absorbed by bigger brands like burton

[astral haven]

just finished
multi device connect is welcome tho rather late

[ashen spindle]

raja on his way to doom the next chip xd

[gusty kiln]

I thought he was 100% software now

[ashen spindle]

well him being the board could still mean software focus or something

well hes joining tenstorrent not risc foundation xd

[tribal dirge]

Who needs risc V when you can make your own instruction sets.

[ashen spindle]

well that's what riscv is almost

just with more power behind it

[tribal dirge]

With FPGAs

[astral haven]

risc v is a very common project to run on an fpga

even my ultra cheap micro fpga can run at least 1 risc v core

[lime shale]

Is there a way to disable alt+f4 like Razer has many other a "Gaming mode" of sorts

[true quest]

change the keys

[lime shale]

I dont wanna

[true quest]

make your own gaming profile

[lime shale]

I need to press alt and f4, some times at the same time

But i dont want to close my game

[true quest]

you don't need to close your game to switch profiles

[empty wren]

Maybe through the registry you can

[lime shale]

I'm sadly not that tech savy

[empty wren]

Try to fiddle with keylock I guess then

[lime shale]

And i dont want to permanently disable alt+f4 as i use it a lot

I want an easy toggle

[empty wren]

At least with the wootility all I can imagine is disabling alt or f4

[lime shale]

Ig I'll put it in the suggestions

[true quest]

make

your

own

profile

[lime shale]

Thats what I have

I have customized everything to perfection

And i dont want to have 2 identical profiles where in one its disabled

I want everything in 1 profile

[empty wren]

Beginning to regret ever considering water cooling: galvanic corrosion, varying metals in components, and difficulty of finding fittings of a certain type and material.

[mild dome]

Water cool with liquid mercury

[empty wren]

Hah

That is gonna be fun to drain

On a serious note I might look into oil or alcohol

[mild dome]

IRC the issue with oil is that it has a lower heat capacity then water, so it it can't absorb as much energy.
What are the advantages of alcohol?

[latent bear]

I updated my address and clicked Contact Us, the auto-reply told me to wait 3-5 days.

EU-Melkweg

[vernal tinsel]

Seems worth it for the wait

[mild dome]

If you want support there is a "Support Zone" this is the general zone full of people just chatting about things like Linux, and using crude oil PC cooling

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90UBUq1mLGY @vagrant pagoda some UV results

[old marlin]

I got one btw

[ashen spindle]

nice

[old marlin]

mf already went through stock or delistet

rest is not listed yet

10/10 launch

[ashen spindle]

still surprised the 7950x3d is not in stock

[old marlin]

actually nvm

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/AMD-Ryzen-7-7800X3D-8x-4-20GHz-So-AM5-WOF_1481120.html

still there

[ashen spindle]

mf hides listings if its sold out before completely removing it

to have it be around if someone cancels or so

[long oracle]

L45 lecker Switch Fits into 60he? And also works? Ping me pls If you have an answer

[reef patrol]

Yes and yes. They will be sold seperately later for 60 and 2HE use.

[vagrant pagoda]

[empty wren]

Probably behaves better than water, as it is used in fighter jets

[vagrant pagoda]

Huh

[empty wren]

Look I do not know my dad just mentioned that to me yesterday and I am considering my options

[vagrant pagoda]

The Russians used alcohol as a evaporative coolant

Because it needed no moving parts

It wasn't a closed loop syetem

[empty wren]

[vagrant pagoda]

The water alcohol mix evaporated into the air

[empty wren]

Okay that is off the table then

[vagrant pagoda]

If you're worried just use anitfreeze

[empty wren]

You know let me just ask you

Do any of you water loops use all the same metal parts

Or did you throw some antifreeze in

[vagrant pagoda]

I run 20% anitfreeze in all of mine

I get the pet safe stuff that is pg

[empty wren]

Alright and how long has the oldest one been running without issue?

[vagrant pagoda]

Stuff lasts decades at PC cooling temps

Like 12 years

And going

[empty wren]

I see well maybe it might be okay to use an additive to the water then

[vagrant pagoda]

Antifreeze in cars dosent last forever because of the high heat and any combustion leakage

In a low temp loop, it's last a long long time

My oldest loop is a d5+280 that is in an old lian li case

It went from am2 to am3 without draining

And is still running lol

[empty wren]

Hmm that sounds like more than a decade old

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean am2 was like 2006

But I didn't get one until 2008

And didn't water cool it for a year or so

[empty wren]

Still more than that decade😏

[vagrant pagoda]

I said like 12 years

[empty wren]

Well that is impressive

[mild dome]

Remember to use deionized or distilled water. Salts in normal tap water tend to be the killer especially in mixed metal loops as that salt conducts a charge

[empty wren]

Yeah also funny thing deionized water is not deionized for long

[mild dome]

Perhaps, but it really helps to reduce what you start with

[vagrant pagoda]

That's why antifreeze has anti corrosion additives

[mild dome]

You add the additives to the distilled water. All the advice I have received in the past is that starting with super clean water and adding what you need just helps reduce algae and corrosion

[empty wren]

I think some people even add something called silver coil

[mild dome]

Probably to kill bacteria that could gum shit up, however Silver would increase the risk of galvanic corrosion so best research that first

[empty wren]

If only pure silver loops were not expensive

[mild dome]

Yeah googled it and if no corrosion inhibitor silver coils will corrode copper, with nickel getting the worst treatment. So buyer beware

[empty wren]

Yeah... I think I have nickel plated components so gonna stay away

[mild dome]

Have you already purchased all your components?

[severe phoenix]

[frozen ingot]

ngl that thing looked pretty out there in 2005

[ashen spindle]

https://www.anandtech.com/show/18805/amd-announces-alveo-ma35d-media-accelerator-av1-video-encode-at-1w-per-stream

[crimson wigeon]

Nice, are they now not gonna have AV1 encode in GPUs

[ashen spindle]

nah they will still have them this is just a xilinx product that focuses on it

with AV1 quality as good as Av1 slow it's already better than any gpu for it

[astral haven]

that looks like a far too big die to integrate on a gpu tbh

[ashen spindle]

well on a gpu you wont get 32 channels lmao

[astral haven]

🤷 actually thats incorrect

nvidia has gpus up to 64 channels, what you wont get is 32 channels at 50 watts

[ashen spindle]

if you take just one encoder block and remove the stuff that would be redundant ona gpu like pcie area it gets closer to what could fit on a gpu

but it's also still 1600€ so its not just a gpu media engine in big xD

[astral haven]

but they need enough blocks to hit 8k60 at least if they use a modern gpu

[ashen spindle]

also likely samsung not tsmc so on a gpu die it would be less area probably

but yeah, it's not coming to gpus in this way

[astral haven]

also wouldnt be too sure about that, its probably on a smartphone node, and the ss smartphone nodes are rather dense if low clocking

[ashen spindle]

yeah true forgot they couldnt just match HD/HP libraries for parts of it

[astral haven]

if they put it on n3 thats a different story but nah

[ashen spindle]

depends on the good or the bad n3

actually for all we know they could use high density, if they put media engine on separate dies like memory

[astral haven]

would be interesting if they went full chiplet

[ashen spindle]

MCDs on a cheap samsung node would make BOM better even if the GCD would be fucked like this gen again lol

oh

imagine the cursed AMD gpu, chiplets made on TSMC, SS and INTC

[astral haven]

thats uh the point of chiplet?

[ashen spindle]

ehh, to mix different nodes, I dont think the point is to mix different foundries lol

[astral haven]

im suspecting that companies like TI and renesas will start making powerstage on wafer chiplets too

[vagrant pagoda]

100%

Especially for apus

Think of consoles

[ashen spindle]

backside power delivery, in chip cooling and bigger stacking is all coming within the next prouduct cycles and I'm excited to see what we can get from it

[vagrant pagoda]

With apu, and CPU,GPU and memory vrm on chip

Or the opposite end of the spectrum

Tesla gpus

Those nvlink/switch modules are like 40% vrm

[empty wren]

Sadly but I might need to get different fittings china seller bamboozled me

[vagrant pagoda]

you got alumium fittings?

[true quest]

i love alumium

[empty wren]

Nickel plated brass

[vagrant pagoda]

whatis wrong with that?

[empty wren]

And the outside is 6mm😩

It needs to be 8-9

[vagrant pagoda]

or you got tiny ones lol

girth is important

[mild dome]

Irc the 3000 series had a Global foundry IO chip

[cursive summit]

https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/5/23672082/samsung-and-amd-will-continue-to-work-together-on-mobile-chips

[wheat plume]

so so so much copper

[empty wren]

Do not worry Tesla will charge an arm for that

I do find it funny apple gave on air power

They could have compromised just a bit

[sharp badger]

Just watch, Apple will probably release this soon™ 😅

[frozen ingot]

they tried and failed

then swooped any traces of it being mentioned from their online accounts

[sharp badger]

Lol ok 😆

[astral haven]

there were partially working prototypes floating around

[frozen ingot]

something about packing a ton of copper coils in real tight in a slim enclosure then sending a bunch of current through them doesn't quite work out thermally

[wheat plume]

People have found a new way to hate the gnome desktop
.-.

They are angry this time because gnome's website shows the dev's pronouns

GnOme Has GoNe woKe

[latent mural]

use kde plasma

ez fix

[wheat plume]

Gnome workflow better....though Plasma apps look like shit on Gnome

I wish they did what plasma does to make GTK apps look native-ish on plasma

[final flame]

Personally imo Gnome is the best looking from a visual only perspective

[wheat plume]

yeah, is so pretty

[pale sigil]

it plays for me

[empty wren]

What apple wanted was charging three device together as well

[astral haven]

which the tesla device does

[empty wren]

Oh nice

[astral haven]

https://shop.tesla.com/product/wireless-charging-platform
its literally what apple wanted to release but with a different logo

[empty wren]

Geez $300 for a charger

But understandable if it does not combust

[astral haven]

it has 30 coils, so it at a minimum would cost 30x the price of a super basic wireless charger...

[sharp badger]

Probably because Apple branding too as what i've said before, dislike locking into an ''Ecosystem''

[empty wren]

The only ecosystem lock I imagine is the animations and maybe slower charging on non apple devices

[sharp badger]

Can get much better IEMs/Earbuds for less money too than their offerings e.g.

[empty wren]

The reason why most people will not if they have an apple device though is the ecosystem

Fast quick setup and pairings

[sharp badger]

Yeah just like being flexible

[empty wren]

It is a shame they are only white, I would like to see the coating of the airpods after a year or two

[sharp badger]

Yeah one would have to customize them through e.g. Colorware for another colour or just DIY

[jaunty hare]

Hey guys, i have a problem i have a wooting 60he and recently it started to unshift by itself any suggestion on what i should do?

[empty wren]

Right colorware loves apple

[empty wren]

Could be ghost inputs, try unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back then

Then see if it comes back after hours of use though

[jaunty hare]

tried it already,
things ive tried is swapping the switches and cleaning the pcb "contact points" unplugged replug it

[ashen spindle]

Making a ticket in #1019755933959733258 is the best then so someone can get to it

[jaunty hare]

alrighty

[astral haven]

But it's made by Tesla lol

[reef patrol]

So snapped hinges, got it.

[sharp badger]

Yeah was thinking if Apple remade their Air power thing 😅

[astral haven]

you shouldnt buy either regardless?

[wheat plume]

whats wrong with anker?

[astral haven]

same folks, if they are willing to lie and run away from problems in one product, why should we trust them for a different one

[ashen spindle]

great now we have redditors and twitter accounts with more than 0 followers talking how the console ports that need 8gb vram or more are amd sponsored and blame it on amd

good point to just go to bed

after reading some stupid

[astral haven]

love amds encoder lmao

(this is an amd bug)

[pale sigil]

wtf Elon

[reef patrol]

Another lawsuit incoming.

[pale sigil]

I was gonna say

surely it cant be legal

[reef patrol]

From what I understand there's a very strong stink of insider trading.

Or at least a very intentional uhh.. attempt to manipulate values and then trading doge.

[ashen spindle]

if it makes him lose more money I'll be happy

but I dont see the problem unless he is involved in trading before/after this

[reef patrol]

Mine still shows the bird. So eh... don't notice 😄

[ashen spindle]

it's something he talked about before he bought twitter and its not like doge came from the coin

also thats a thing for some days now

tweetdeck etc. unchanged though

[flint zinc]

Lol me too

[wheat plume]

Anyone have the default windows 11 hosts file and knows how to edit it?

Mines fucked

Computer won't connect to wifi

[flint zinc]

I was planning on hooking up IP cameras myself with no access to the internet

[pale sigil]

sure

[reef patrol]

The default file is just... blank? Outside of a commented field iirc.

[wheat plume]

It's not

It's for some default entries

[reef patrol]

Just looked - Yep. It is 100% blank outside of comments.

[pale sigil]

The default file

[wheat plume]

Then how do I reset it?

[pale sigil]

is indeed blank

[reef patrol]

%WinDir%\System32\Drivers\etc

[pale sigil]

`# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

[ashen spindle]

you rest it by just making it an empty file, manualyl replacing it or using w/e the edit option in win11 is for it to set it to nothing

[wheat plume]

Wtf

[cursive summit]

Stop using the folder then

[wheat plume]

Literally nothing else is open

[cursive summit]

That is a lie

[cursive summit]

Something is 100% open and you don't realize

[wheat plume]

Only file explorer

[cursive summit]

Task manager

Spam "try again"

Restart PC

Any of those work

[pale sigil]

if its the host file

Windows service is using it

[ashen spindle]

what even was the action you tried to do

delete the etc folder?

[pale sigil]

yes

@wheat plumelana

[reef patrol]

[pale sigil]

just literally leave teh host file empyy

empty

[wheat plume]

Explorer crashed

Rip

[pale sigil]

whaty did you even do

[wheat plume]

THIS

[ashen spindle]

why not just open the host file and delete whats in it

[wheat plume]

I did and it won't save

[ashen spindle]

is there even anything in the file thats not the comments?

[wheat plume]

The start menu is broken also

[ashen spindle]

win11 also has the option to edit it directly from the settings menu

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

Can't I skip this?

And just shut down now?

I'm not

[astral haven]

yea its not insider, its deleting critical system files in this situation

[wheat plume]

I reinstalled Windows about a month ago and stayed on stable

Nope

I can do Ctrl alt delete and restart that way

[pale sigil]

Well you did something

I hate Windows and re install 1-2 years but i dont suffer like this

unless i break something

[wheat plume]

I tried to edit the hosts file to include the someonewhocares malware and ad blocking hosts file entries

[pale sigil]

haha

you fucked up

dont touch host files

You are reminding me of when i was little.

[astral haven]

use pihole or something

[wheat plume]

I can't

[astral haven]

i guarantee you that its possible

[wheat plume]

Unless there is someway to make sure the pi will be the first to connect to the hotspot

[astral haven]

🤷 run it in a vm on the computer itself

[wheat plume]

Hhmm

[astral haven]

that would be omega jank tho ofc

but less jank than messing with hosts

[wheat plume]

The start menu doesn't work

Crashes when I try to use it

[astral haven]

sfc /scannow

[wheat plume]

What's this

[astral haven]

system file checker

[wheat plume]

Oh

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them

Nothing got fixed

[astral haven]

yea you have to reboot

before you do, also run a chkdsk /f

[reef patrol]

Lana rn after deleting OS files.

[wheat plume]

I didn't delete anything

I edited it

[astral haven]

no, you did in fact delete something

it just stopped you part of the way through

[wheat plume]

Reinstall? :/

[astral haven]

did you chkdsk?

[wheat plume]

Unless I can boot to safe mode and edit the file that way

[astral haven]

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

[wheat plume]

No?

[astral haven]

trigger a chkdsk, then run dism, then reboot

if its still borked reinstall teim

[wheat plume]

What this do??

[astral haven]

it looks at a windows install then fixes files that may have been corrupted

online means the currently running os

the other switches are self explanatory

sfc + dism should cover all of the critical windows files

[wheat plume]

Stuck at 62%

[astral haven]

patience

but if you somehow managed to break dism, you are royally up 💩 creek

[wheat plume]

Welp

[astral haven]

before you give up, look to see if its doing something in task manager

[wheat plume]

It's all at 0% with some ram usage

[astral haven]

rip in peace

[cursive summit]

Lana: deletes windows files
Also lana: windows bad, doesn't work

[wheat plume]

I never said it was bad this time

[astral haven]

well now you know to not do that
you probably can overinstall without losing programs or data?

[wheat plume]

What about safe mode?

[astral haven]

actually hmm
etc should only have network garbage

[wheat plume]

Maybe delete it from there?

[astral haven]

yea might as well safe mode it up and try all the commands

no deleting things

bad

thats how you got into this mess

[wheat plume]

Ok how tf I reboot to safe mode

[astral haven]

ctrl alt delete, power button then hold shift while you hit restart

or settings > update and security > recovery > advanced startup > restart now

then navigate the menus to advanced, then boot options?

[wheat plume]

Updates are underway
Please keep your computer on

[astral haven]

oh dear

[wheat plume]

??

[astral haven]

hopefully thats dism fixing things?

[wheat plume]

Hopefully

I hate everything

[astral haven]

windows is very resilient to being messed with until it suddenly isnt lmao

[wheat plume]

Hmmm?

Yeh :/

It's still on the updates are underway screen

Oh ... And its rebooting

And back on the updates screen again

[astral haven]

patience

[wheat plume]

Windows needs a lot of patience ;_;

[astral haven]

you did this to yourself -_-

[wheat plume]

I know :/

[cursive summit]

Fuck about, find out

[wheat plume]

I should just get an AMD GPU and move to Linux fulltime
I just cause windows to break often

Editing the hosts file on that doesn't cause shut to go wrong

[cursive summit]

Windows don't break often

You break it with your need to mess with it

[wheat plume]

I mess with Linux too ...

Even moreso

And that doesn't break like this

It's rebooting again
I think

[astral haven]

i somehow doubt it

in fact i very much doubt it

[wheat plume]

I do...

[cursive summit]

The only feature I hate with windows is updates, literally the only one

Updates are dread

[wheat plume]

I use hblock
That directly edits the host file
I mess with swap space and swappiness values
And the fstab file to add automount for my other drives

So uh ...idk what's happening right now
It's not off but there is nothing showing on the monitor
The "input signal not found" thing is up

[astral haven]

i will bet a copy of titanfall 2 that you have never tried to delete a part of the kernel

[wheat plume]

On Linux?
No

[astral haven]

my point exactly

[cursive summit]

Humble bundle throwaway copies

[astral haven]

ive never gotten it from humble bundle before

but if i do lose this bet i may

actually im not sure lemme check

[wheat plume]

I have a mouse cursor now

[astral haven]

can confirm none of my copies of titanfall 2 are from humble bundle

[wheat plume]

You have more than one?

[astral haven]

oh my ive got at least 1140 games from humble bundle
93 unredeemed

[wheat plume]

O.o

[astral haven]

yea ive lost bets a few times

[wheat plume]

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm

[astral haven]

i bet a copy of titanfall 2 because then at least i know the person gets a good game

[wheat plume]

Facts

Is a great game

[astral haven]

if youve played it theres no real point in me giving it to you tho lol

[wheat plume]

I played it many times xf

Ok
Booting to safe mode now

What do?

[cursive summit]

Wtf is titanfall anyways

[wheat plume]

A really damn good game

[cursive summit]

Multi-player fps?

[wheat plume]

Single player too

Amazing campaign

I love it a lot

[cursive summit]

Ah.. eh

[astral haven]

multiplayer is meh but its my favorite flatscreen singleplayer game of all time

[wheat plume]

Flat screen single player game?

Also...
In safe mode
What do?

[astral haven]

sfc dism chkdsk

[wheat plume]

Terminal won't open

[astral haven]

need cmd

[wheat plume]

Ok
I launched cmd with the run prompt

[astral haven]

run the previous commands again

[wheat plume]

That order ?
You mentioned earlier do dism last

[astral haven]

🤷 chkdsk doesnt run until restart regardless so it doesnt matter

[wheat plume]

Ooh ok

Dism running

the source file could not be found.
Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature

[astral haven]

right
youll need safe mode with networking

[wheat plume]

Oh ffs

Oo
Problem solved

:D

Thanks for the help!!

Rebooted just now and it works again

[astral haven]

neato

[wheat plume]

....uninstalls Powertoys

Actually
No
I can't

I use PowerRename often

Idk why the menus stopped working
The start and search menus didn't do anything when opened and search crashed the desktop if I started to type

[wheat plume]

I doubt that would do anything since I couldn't connect to internet to begin with

[tardy echo]

I’m being ignored so hard I’m gonna go cope on k drama bye

[pale sigil]

Is this memey

Or actual content on declared

@ashen spindle

[ashen spindle]

its about a not announced not released product

technically everything can be wrong

[cursive summit]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/jim-keller-shares-zen5-performance-projections-kind-of

[ashen spindle]

ah was wondering when that would come up here

shows the classic journalism

no jim did not share zen5 performance

they put 30% on zen4 numbers exactly and put it in as estimate

which is about the same as ever gen before did

Where can i buy stream deck ? (( Except amazon ))

[wheat plume]

from the Elgato website itself

https://www.elgato.com/en/stream-deck-mk2

[cursive summit]

Or don't

Elgato overprices their shit

https://www.techradar.com/news/huge-intel-arc-gpu-order-shows-team-blues-graphics-card-dream-is-still-alive

" Battlemage cards, built on Intel's Xe2 architecture, will launch in the second half of 2024, with Intel Arc Celestial landing in the second half of 2026. This would put it several months after the launch of most of Nvidia and AMD's best graphics cards of this generation, so Intel is still behind the other two major players in terms of manufacturing cadence. Still, better late than not at all."

I have a problem with this statement, cause not only will they be competing with next-gen cards from both AMD and Nvidia at that point

I genuinely do not believe launching something that is just objectively not good is actually a "better late than not at all"

Sometimes you just cut a loss, realize you can't stand a chance, and leave, which Intel might have to do

Intel's prospect should be low-mid range, where nowadays it's a bit lacking

If they aim high, I doubt it'll be very good. 600$ maximum.

hey peeps, my wife has a samsung s23u and bought an apple dongle to use wired earbuds, but its not playing through the earbuds
this pops up when plugging it in

does the apple dongle just not work on android?

[shadow minnow]

It should afaik

[halcyon moss]

yeah thats what i am reading as well

[ashen spindle]

it seems to not work for some combinations but nothing solid, likely not enough power when some combination of phone and earbuds used

but for some it works for some its just low power

so if it works on a pc for example then its on the phone or earbuds

[halcyon moss]

well if it works on my phone, she can have my pixel dongle.. and ill take this one

[cursive summit]

Apple dongle is vastly overrated anyways

[halcyon moss]

its cheap :p

[astral haven]

it has a bug where it reports that it outputs alot of volume and the android volume limits prevent it from running full blast

[astral haven]

its about the price of the cx31993 which is quite significantly more durable
i have 2 dead apple dongs from the cable breaking, and the cx31993 are still fine

[ashen spindle]

could also be different here because eu and and dongles are different

[astral haven]

i believe the eu dongles just have their max power cut, which in theory wouldnt change the volume on android?

changes it on everything else tho

[ashen spindle]

but its a difference that for whatever reason could fuck something else up

[astral haven]

regardless, dont buy get cx31993 instead

[halcyon moss]

ok, ali has it for less, but ali takes long :p

[astral haven]

should be on amazon too?

[halcyon moss]

the fuck is that? :p /s

[astral haven]

well get rekt then

[halcyon moss]

brb, getting rekt

[wheat plume]

Man, I kinda want this mouse

https://www.pulsar.gg/products/x2-rfp

Linus review, the cool design, Frank himself commenting on the design and feel

[astral haven]

regardless id recommend ordering another dongle now so that when the apple one breaks you have a backup

[reef patrol]

It looks identical to my Superlight from Logitech

[wheat plume]

Custom switches and encoder

and paintjob

[halcyon moss]

yeah thats probably not a bad idea

[astral haven]

more importantly, usb c lel

[wheat plume]

Why is the damn mousepad the same price as the mouse?

[reef patrol]

I mean... fair. But I actually don't mind it, since it means I can charge my wireless headphones with the cable 99% of the time 😄

[astral haven]

ouch

[wheat plume]

your wireless buds are micro USB?? 🤢

[reef patrol]

Buds? I don't stick anything in my ears. I use proper headphones. 😄

And yes - They pre-date USB-C being THE standard.

[wheat plume]

ooohh, headphones

fair enough

[astral haven]

its almost like thats what mansen said lel

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

true... i missed that

[frozen ingot]

lets take a $5 piece of glass and give it another $5 of treating and sell for $95 to gamers

[wheat plume]

ikr...

[astral haven]

its flexible tho right?

so its actually a $2 peice of rubber imbedded with $2 of glass pellets

[wheat plume]

is it flexible??

[astral haven]

dunno

[wheat plume]

lemme check

for fast glide and good stopping

[astral haven]

oh no apparently its an actual glass block

yikes

[wheat plume]

with a layer of silicon for grip on the bottom

nvm

more layers

[astral haven]

if its gorilla glass that stuff is actually expensive

[wheat plume]

it be

[astral haven]

corning makes the big bucks

[wheat plume]

i bet, basically every phone uses it
