#

and if the input latency is known, they can also project forward through that like on the index and quest

#

not only does dlss3 not project forward, it seems to actually intentionally delay by 1 frame!!!

#

now sure its the best option available for flatscreen games
but theres nothing SOTA about it, its a worse solution than what was SOTA in vr 10 years ago!!!

#

dlss2 is at least the highest fidelity upscaler that runs in under 30ms, and it runs over 30x faster than that

#

and that includes cutting edge research

What if you didn’t need the best frame rate to reduce input latency? What if your display’s refresh rate was enough all on its own? With Async reprojection, anythin...

#

no its a rebrand to X

#

its no longer twitter

astral haven
#

named it after his son lmao

ashen spindle
#

thought it was the status of his wife

#

also I guess I would probably dlss2 if I had a a weaker gpu but for me I prefer not seeing the artifacts but it's close to useable for me

astral haven
#

to be fair to you, dlss is easier to see on 1440p
its much better for 4k and above

#

benefits are reduced lower the res

#

but with 1080p dying a quick death for anyone with a gpu, 1440p will not be far behind

#

4k144 is now sometimes available for 500!

fickle ore
#

Elon wants "the everything app"

#

should've trademarked X

astral haven
#

thats ultra omega not enforceable lmao

frozen ingot
#

he's just too much of a stupid fucking egomaniac to realize it

astral haven
#

🤷 cant rebuild a ship while its still floating

fickle ore
astral haven
astral haven
fickle ore
#

ah

#

truth but it may become x'sing

#

fml

#

hope it doesnt bring meta down

astral haven
#

to begin with tho, those single letter and most 2 letter Domains on .com up to probably 3 letters probably over a million
most 4 letters are probably over 100k even if they dont already have a meaning

fickle ore
#

Is owning a domain pita?

astral haven
#

no its easy, but if someone already has it, its expensive asf

fickle ore
#

where do you even buy

astral haven
fickle ore
astral haven
#

nah thats just the cost of registering

#

costs a minimum of like $7 per year for a .com

astral haven
fickle ore
#

If you forget to pay for it it can be sniped rite?

astral haven
#

ofc

fickle ore
#

kinda sucky, i'll stay with stocks

#

too much stress

astral haven
#

obviously

ashen spindle
#

oh hey apple vision pro dev kits seem to be going out now

astral haven
#

thats actually surprising

#

do they provide development iphones?

reef patrol
#

So...business as usual?

ashen spindle
#

I mean, you'd have to compare to what they did for the first iphone

astral haven
#

i didnt think apple provided dev kits for anything?
buy a mac and emulate it

reef patrol
#

That text is basically - every - pre-release product ever.

#

Especially devkits.

astral haven
#

only dev kit im aware of in recent memory is m1 mini devkit

ashen spindle
#

you cant really emulate stuff for the vision that well on monitor

astral haven
#

you cant really emulate iphone that well on monitor yet thats apple's solution

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

I mean you can emulate touch inputs and resolution and thus most functionality

#

as well as gyro

#

but the rendering is the same, unlike for this

astral haven
#

the rendering is an m1 chip

#

remember they already have a dev environment you can play around with

#

i figured that would have been it

ashen spindle
#

the X1 tracking and the rendering with passthotugh likely works differently

frozen ingot
#

maybe its sold so poorly apple felt inclined to push devkits

#

to boost interest

astral haven
#

they dont have 6dof hand tracking

ashen spindle
#

dont think the x1 is elsewhere so if you can access that you need devices for it

astral haven
#

you mean r1 right?

#

applications dont access the r1 tho directly

ashen spindle
#

was it r1? yeah might be

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

^

frozen ingot
#

still no preorder?

#

tf they waiting for smh

ashen spindle
#

early 24 was the announcement for pre orders

frozen ingot
#

why they waiting til the hype has died down

ashen spindle
#

biggest thing they are waiting for is being able to make the thing

astral haven
#

^

#

currently they are running into major production hell

#

god i really hope sony decides to go f it and make a full on 35mm camera sensor sized microoled based steamvr headset
then once that sells out, a medium format sized microoled

cursive summit
#

This is used in games, but infrequently

#

And is called temporal reprojection

astral haven
#

its used in everything vr

cursive summit
#

In PC games, it still is very rarely used

astral haven
#

most vr is PC games

cursive summit
#

Not an unheard of groundbreaking trick

#

Although I do wish that there was a new game engine that was built upon this principle

#

If you want it now, and potentially forever, you'd need to make your own engine

#

I don't see Nvidia being particularly happy that this new game engine is suddenly allowing a GT1030 user to play the newest CoD, and not buy a new GPU

#

So I imagine efforts might be made to stop the tech from becoming relevant, like in an Unreal Engine update

astral haven
#

thats not nescessary, nvidia could easily have made dlss3 be that + using the ai engine just to fill the gaps

#

what killzone however is doing is not what is used in vr

#

and its not what the demo ltt showed off uses either

#

killzone uses a better form of dlss 3

cursive summit
#

What the demo by comradestinger does isn't exactly the same thing as in VR either

astral haven
#

yea its 3 different techs

cursive summit
#

Close, but far inferior for a demo made in an evening

astral haven
#

well no

#

its significantly better at some aspects

#

however it is completely unable to deal with certain things, particularly transparency

#

besides shaders on the gpu ofc lel

#

same story for VR

#

heres the thing
endgame with the asynchronous projection technique is able to reproject a single frame into hundreds or even thousands without visual issues as long as nothing new enters your view or anything in the view changes significantly

#

practically you would be able to use async reprojection to turn 60 fps into 20kfps and make it believable
and since you wouldnt have to fake motion blur, it would look beautiful

#

depends how fast things in the scene are moving

#

for slower paced stuff yea 500 fps is enough

#

there are scenes in disney movies that near into the 100s of thousands of intermediate frames on 24 fps

#

thats only needed for raytracing with fast moving points to make them coalesce into a line
with manifold rendering you can directly render the line (in theory)

wheat plume
#

Discord removed AMOLED theme on phone

#

Or it's broken
The option is not there for me anymore and it's the ugly dark grey background again

#

It does now though
I think

#

Whatever
Payback for us not having dark theme on Snapchat....

#

While iphone had it over 4 years by now

astral haven
#

i dont have a discord update

#

what app ver?

#

i have 186.11

wheat plume
#

I'm on beta

#

So that gets things earlier

pale sigil
#

I've had that not in beta

#

For ages

coarse cloak
pale sigil
#

@wheat plume still works

#

Just need to quad tap the bubble

#

This

wheat plume
#

Didn't work

#

I tried it already

pale sigil
#

Huh

#

I'm beta too

#

Oh yup

#

They broke it

#

Haha

#

We are way ahead of you

#

Haha

#

189.6

pale sigil
#

Wasn't using it anyway

#

Cant put my finger on it but it looked better on my previous phone than my current

#

And I could never get used to it

#

Fired

#

You're supposed to use it for 24/7 free labour support

crisp granite
#

Otherwise

#

they can fuck right off havo

cursive summit
#

At 4AM as well?

#

Fuck that, if that's not in your job description, you don't have to do it

#

24/7 entails essentially nearly triple the normal working hours, so if the salary doesn't go up at least 2x, then what's the point

ashen spindle
#

meanwhile I've been using my pc instead of a laptop from work for like 3 year in home office now dogekek

#

but its also just my second pc with nothing else on it, not my main one

astral haven
#

same

#

i have a pc at home that i just check emails and remote into my actual pc at work

ashen spindle
#

its also massively easerit to have 3 different vr headsets set up on a pc rather than a laptop that work would give lol

astral haven
#

interesting

#

who is this from?

#

sweet

#

i wonder how it compares to the linkbuds s

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

oh my god get actually rekt

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

that surprises me but hey if they got the trademark, its theirs

ashen spindle
#

it could be that its stylized enough to go past

#

but man imagine wiht musk suing meta for threads they just sue back and win the trademark dispute

#

never did I think I would ever find myself rooting for zuckerberg that much

vagrant pagoda
#

someone else owns x.com word trademark

#

wild

mild dome
#

Elon's next genius invention is going to be a pair of pants with guns hotglued on pointing directly at his feet

astral haven
#

then after they win the lawsuit, they will sue for x if elon hasnt given up yet

ashen spindle
#

I mean due to musk going for that its more likely zuck wants to just screw him and go for this when otherwise they would probably end up with an agreement

astral haven
#

yea i dont think however facebook could sell the x trademark for as much if musk still thinks he has a chance with threads

pale sigil
#

fuck haha, i just uploaded a 400mb file in seconds, it feels so good.

halcyon willow
#

dont make me jealous

pale sigil
#

haha its the first time for me at my home

vagrant pagoda
#

XD

#

<flexin>

pale sigil
#

i always had fast download but shit upload

#

usually 350/20

#

now im on 500/500

vagrant pagoda
#

ive had symmetrical fiber for years

#

like almost decade

pale sigil
#

where?

#

usually city areas were first

#

or smaller countries

vagrant pagoda
#

florida

#

the best of places

pale sigil
#

Other countries just went docsis

vagrant pagoda
#

i have backup cable

#

the fiber got hit once so they gave me fre cable as it was getting fixed

ashen spindle
#

usa should have had fiber to every home for years now but only some places do due to the usual isp scams

vagrant pagoda
#

and never stopped it

pale sigil
#

docsis 4 is better

#

by a lot

#

but they wont upgrade and prob will stil limit peoplel

vagrant pagoda
#

how

#

in what world

pale sigil
#

i mean

vagrant pagoda
#

is cable better than fiber

pale sigil
#

no xD

#

sorry

#

i mean in regards to docsis in general

ashen spindle
#

docsis 4 aint out yet, so yes future tech is better than current tech

pale sigil
#

docsis 4 is a lot faster than 3 upload wise

astral haven
#

a full docsis 3.1 connection is 10g/2G

pale sigil
#

by a large amount, but ips will still probably limit upload

vagrant pagoda
#

also

#

speaking off

#

comcast is edging me on hard core

pale sigil
#

My old ISP offered me to move to a business plan the last day of leaving...

vagrant pagoda
#

i get a call a week about upgradeing from 3 to 10

pale sigil
#

Said better upload...

vagrant pagoda
#

i had 2, then got the free bump to 3

pale sigil
#

offered me 500/30 lol

vagrant pagoda
#

but im on $150 promo rate locked in

#

to get 10 i need to move to 299

#

idk if i want to

pale sigil
#

i would nevr pay $150 for internet

#

wtf

#

wait

#

yearly?

vagrant pagoda
#

this is us

astral haven
#

id prefer 10g/2g to 5g symmetrical 5g
and i dont think anyone offers residential fiber in the us above 5g and outside of silicon valley and fancy cities

vagrant pagoda
#

150 is good

pale sigil
#

yearly?

astral haven
#

where?

vagrant pagoda
#

they have a massive fiber network

#

they dont adertise for lol

#

its also 1500 or 2000 for install

#

and 299 a month

#

mine was actually like 2800

#

because of length of run

astral haven
#

🤷 my work just got quoted 85k + 200 per month for a 20m/20m line

vagrant pagoda
#

is this res service

#

not biz

#

biz fiber is like 5 times for the same

astral haven
#

this isnt biz service either

pale sigil
#

hol up

#

You pay $150 a month?

vagrant pagoda
#

america anit cheap

astral haven
#

i pay 80 per mo for 300/20

ashen spindle
#

told ya, usual ISP scams in the US

pale sigil
#

You truly are florida man

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah the 150 isnt bad when the next best is 1200/40 for ~120

#

but 300 for 10g/10g is good

ashen spindle
#

wait 150 for 1 gig down or more?

astral haven
#

we can get 5g/5g for 180/mo
not fantastic

vagrant pagoda
#

they upgraded to 3/3

#

for free

ashen spindle
#

oh that's not too bad then

vagrant pagoda
#

but its actually 3+1/3+1

ashen spindle
#

still kinda scam but what can you do

vagrant pagoda
#

because they dont limit the fiber, just the ports

#

so there is a 3gbit sfp+ and a 1g ethernet

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

there are programs where you can get 1g/1g for $40/mo when you are low income in my area

vagrant pagoda
#

definty the cheapest per mbit up upload

astral haven
#

correct

vagrant pagoda
#

why dont you have that then

astral haven
#

i live with my parents who arent low income?

vagrant pagoda
#

get it in your name XD

astral haven
#

thats fraud unless i pay for it which eh not sure i wanna

vagrant pagoda
#

anyway

#

we dont ahve that shit here

#

just shit att dsl

#

comcast

#

and local wisp

astral haven
#

yea its a california thing

vagrant pagoda
#

att says they have fiber

#

but they say i cant get it

#

i live off the main highway

astral haven
#

you in cali?

vagrant pagoda
#

where the fuck else would fiber be

#

florida

astral haven
#

ah

vagrant pagoda
#

unless att has like under sea idk why i couldnt get it if they had it

#

ive asked like 3 times

#

when they send out mail ads

astral haven
#

yea cali has a state website that lists all service providers for normal and low income for every single block of houses

vagrant pagoda
#

out furture president govener dosent belive in that shit

astral haven
#

hopefully not

#

but yea get owned

vagrant pagoda
#

lol

#

i mean

astral haven
#

we only have 21 different tax rates depending on what city or county you live in get owned stevedab 😭

vagrant pagoda
#

i mean we have state/county/city tax too

astral haven
#

sure but we have 21 different rates
google and a quick search through a tax rate list i only see 4 different rates

#

oh no 3

ashen spindle
#

god if that clown of governor becomes president we have more issues than taxes and fibre issues

vagrant pagoda
#

lesser of two evils maybe

pale sigil
#

im paying $0 for 500/500 atm

#

im on a 6 month trial

scenic lion
#

the wooting takes yearsssssss

pale sigil
#

but after ill be on a promo for $32/month or maybe $25

ashen spindle
#

I'm not so sure if he is the lesser evil, he seems like the more competent evil

pale sigil
astral haven
scenic lion
scenic lion

pale sigil
#

Lekker Editon took 2 or so years

#

ashen spindle
#

yea

pale sigil
#

Wooting one took a year too

halcyon willow
pale sigil
#

I love my speed but i cant justify spending so much

halcyon willow
#

Also, what VPN would you guys recommend to me that allows torrenting?

vagrant pagoda
#

get better torrents

pale sigil
#

at one point i was paying $50 for 250

vagrant pagoda
#

forget about vpn

halcyon willow
#

qbittorrent

pale sigil
#

also

#

No talk piracy

halcyon willow
#

who said piracy? lol

pale sigil

Then again the duck is asleep

#

Don’t think zen2 ever made it into Chromebooks

#

From glancing over it it seems like chromes thing wouldn’t cover it since it’s not from hyperthreading on the same core but the speculative execution bits but maybe

vagrant pagoda
#

5300/5500u is common

#

they are zen2 based but 7nm

#

derp zen2 was 7nm

#

i thought they were die srunk

#

oh yeah 7000 had zen2 die srink on low end

astral haven
#

7320u 7220u 7120u are all near brand new zen 2 cpus

#

probably alot more

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah but the 5300u is popular in chromebooks

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

the 5125 replaced it now i think

#

which is zen3

astral haven
#

most popular on newegg is 3250c

#

for windows its a 7520u

#

tho there are plenty of more popular 7030 series for windows

vagrant pagoda
#

the 5300u ive seen most in "gaming" chromebooks

#

it can do a lot in 720p

#

dont the xx20s have rnda2 and zen2?

astral haven
#

7020 but yea

vagrant pagoda
#

werid combo

#

im hoping for a 7840U 2in1

#

ive only seend 7x30 2in1 so far

#

and they are still vega

#

i ahve a 5700u which is basicly unchaged to the 7730u

astral haven
#

i await amd to be stable enough to go into a business surface

vagrant pagoda
#

the 5700u is nice because even in a 2in1 25w boost works for a few seconds

#

where the 7730s are 15w

#

the 7840u is a 15-30w so it should like for like into a 5700u cooling

astral haven
#

and i have a 1065g7 which boosts into the 50w range for around a second lol

#

actually not really, thats total laptop power

vagrant pagoda
#

but it would have zen4 boosting to 5ghz

astral haven
#

yea

#

but it also wouldnt be able to sleep

vagrant pagoda
#

and rdna3 with 12cu

#

vs 8cu of vegas

#

eh

#

hibernate master race

halcyon willow
#

what about the 5700G?

astral haven
#

thats still sleep states

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

amd isnt really compatible with sleep states in general

#

the 5700g is thicker than my laptop lol

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

astral haven
#

at least the base of my laptop

vagrant pagoda
#

prop more metal in that ihs than my laptops cooling system

astral haven
#

surface pro 10 hype

#

amd amd amd

vagrant pagoda
#

i wish book was better

halcyon willow
vagrant pagoda
#

id buy the fuck out of a ryzen surfacebook

#

but it would be more buggy

astral haven
#

book is dead

halcyon willow
#

on PC

vagrant pagoda
#

i though 10 was arm?

astral haven
#

x

#

surface pro x isnt 10

#

surface pro x is the surface pro 8 with arm chip

vagrant pagoda
#

idk

astral haven
#

the surface pro 9 with lte is the current gen arm chip because screw being consistent

vagrant pagoda
#

the naming sucks ass

astral haven
#

obviously

#

oh sorry its surface pro 9 5g

vagrant pagoda
#

XD

#

tbo

#

5g in a tablet prob not as bad

halcyon willow
#

what would you build with 2k

vagrant pagoda
#

because you can set it down

halcyon willow
#

what PC

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

fam i have 2k in cooling

#

and its air cooled

halcyon willow
#

ANSWER

astral haven
#

i probably have 2k in air cooling and my pc is liquid cooled lmao

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

#

torrent + 2 extra 180s

#

the lianli braket

halcyon willow
#

lol

vagrant pagoda
#

the 2 gpu coolers

#

god damn 90 pound p1

astral haven
#

tho thats only bc i got an absolutely insane deal on my fans, i only paid like $2 a peice for 10 $50 fans

halcyon willow
#

AXP120-X67 with noctua fan swap laughing in your face

vagrant pagoda
#

to loud

halcyon willow
#

degrilled, painted corsair sf750 fan

#

might even fan swap that too

astral haven
#

nah just get earplugs
non delta fans are too weak

vagrant pagoda
#

to loud

#

i run the front 180s at 300

#

and the bottoms run at 0 until temps get to 80s

astral haven
#

my main cooling fans cant run slower than 700 rpm and they call it 2%

halcyon willow
vagrant pagoda
#

so many fans

#

so much noise

astral haven
#

yea i havent turned on my pc in probably 3 or 4 months thanks to that

#

dex is goated

vagrant pagoda
#

no cad on dex

#

😦

halcyon willow
#

too little fans

#

2 too

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

that pc is on lol

astral haven
#

and the sound decreases with the square of distance not to mention the walls

vagrant pagoda
halcyon willow
#

how so

vagrant pagoda
#

thonk

halcyon willow
#

?

vagrant pagoda
#

there is like multiple kilos of heatsink in there

#

2 180s cools it 90% of the time

#

the second set only work for when cpu+gpu are pinned

#

only have the 4 fans

#

none on cpu,gpu or psu

halcyon willow
#

skill issue

astral haven
#

i have the primary set stay off until my water hits 50c, my secondary set stays off till the water hits 35c, and its at minimum until 40c which is silent

#

when the primaries kick on tho, you notice lmao

#

they havent come on automatically yet

vagrant pagoda
#

i never get more than 400rpm on both

astral haven
#

400 on 180mm is alot faster blade tip speed than on 120 tho

vagrant pagoda
#

and thats ~500-600w

astral haven
#

thats less power than my gpu draws on its own lol

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

#

its gonna get worst when i get new gpu

#

im still on 1080ti sli becuase 5 screens

astral haven
#

but yea no matter what i do im screwed since i have x570

vagrant pagoda
#

im on a 5800x3d

astral haven
#

why tf did amd not just outsource the chipset to asus like all of their other ones

#

just outsource it and it wouldnt have consumed so much power it needs a fan

vagrant pagoda
#

you dont have a 570s?

#

rip

astral haven
#

correct, they dont make a ws x570s ace

vagrant pagoda
#

f

astral haven
#

and the ws x570 ace is the only board that supports 3 x8 devices simultaneously or an x16 and an x8 simultaneously

vagrant pagoda
#

i have x8x8x4

#

but thats all i need

astral haven
#

yea i easily saturate x16+x8

vagrant pagoda
#

i just have 40g to my pc

#

my nas is my only 100g

astral haven
#

40g can saturate an x4?
i dont think they make pcie 4 40g nics do they?

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

#

3.0 is like 30g

#

but even then

#

my nas cant do that soild

astral haven
#

mine can

vagrant pagoda
#

my nas has a 4.0 nic

astral haven
#

my nics can saturate a 4.0x8 lol

#

windows cant handle that sort of speed tho lol

vagrant pagoda
#

i keep work stuff all local for work

#

and just move it on/off

#

so not a big deal

#

they only get 10-20gb

#

i do know there is a 10g 1x4.0

astral haven
#

i wanted to keep my game drive exclusively on my nas

vagrant pagoda
#

idk if there is a 4x4.0 40g

#

but you could run a 100g 8x4.0 at 40g 4x4.0

astral haven
#

yea

#

basically what im doing

#

tho it thinks its on a 4.0x8 but amd LIES

vagrant pagoda
#

chipset?

astral haven
#

connectx5

#

its on chipset 4.0x8 technically

#

but the chipset to cpu link is ofc 4.0x4

vagrant pagoda
#

x5 are 3.0?

astral haven
#

only the low end stuff

#

its a dual port 100g

vagrant pagoda
#

i thought 4.0 was a 6 thing

astral haven
#

nah

vagrant pagoda
#

nah fam

only connectx 4 had dual port 100g on 3.0

vagrant pagoda
#

right on the site

#

connect 5 is dual 100g 16x3.0

astral haven
#

yea thats wrong

#

or maybe its a lower model

vagrant pagoda
#

ah yeah they do both

#

they also make a dual 40 4.0 card

#

they make a 4.0x8 50g card

#

hmmm

#

idk if my swtich dose 50g

astral haven
#

50g is dual 25 🤷

#

if it does 100, it probably does 50

vagrant pagoda
#

swtiches are fucky

astral haven
#

at least for the connectx 5 generation

vagrant pagoda
#

i wish intel did switchs

#

because thier nics just fucking work

astral haven
#

they did

#

their switches very much didnt work lmao

vagrant pagoda
#

lol

#

yeah

astral haven
#

i have a crs504 and it works fine

#

it stays unplugged most of the time tho just like my nas lmao

vagrant pagoda
#

i have a plexxi

#

idk what model

#

its all QSFP28

#

and it hates DAC

astral haven
#

how many ports?

vagrant pagoda
#

32?

astral haven
#

neat

vagrant pagoda
#

i only use 3

astral haven
#

is it compatible with the intel cwdm4 modules?

vagrant pagoda
#

one for nas

#

one for pc

#

and a 10G x4 breakout

astral haven
#

my crs504 has 4 ports populated too lol

vagrant pagoda
#

i dont use optical at all other than the isp hardware

astral haven
#

tho my 3rd is a single rather than a breakout

vagrant pagoda
#

im all DAC

astral haven
#

dac is more expensive than singlemode on 100g thanks to intel

vagrant pagoda
#

my desktop is 40

astral haven
#

yea thats the one disadvantage of the intel

#

100g only

vagrant pagoda
#

10m was like 100 bucks on ebay

astral haven
#

50m for a total of under 40

#

$25 for 4 modules, $20 per 50m singlemode cable

#

buy it now is $7 per module tho so you could build 1 cable for $34

vagrant pagoda
#

ive had the 40g for like 5 years now

astral haven
#

yea the intel cwdm4 module has been available for most of that time tho it flew waaaaaaaaaaaay under the radar until last year

#

i bought my set in 21 i think?

#

singlemode duplex lc 100g module for under $20

#

intel manufactured an insane amount of these modules to test out silicon photonics

#

i bought my first module before any other 100g gear since i wanted to have the first production silicon photonics module ever

#

immediately afterwards i bought the 40g gear and the other one of the set and was very sad when it wasnt compatible with 40g

#

Another one into the Musk v Zuckerberg books

#

Though I can't find the trademark

#

There is however a Romanian company that has literally trademarked everything Musk would want to trademark

#

From X Portal, X Payment, X Network, etc

#

Ahh that's the Mixer logo

#

But that went down under so, does it even matter they own X?

fair gull
#

someone didnt read the trademark details didnt they

#

the trademark is for a stylized x

#

that stylized x is the mixer x

cursive summit
#

So Musk has made his logo.. a unicode character

fair gull
#

i mean it is sorta smart

#

cause its easy to render on any device

cursive summit
#

Trademark experts are saying this is untrademarkable

fair gull
#

well if you stylize it you can prob trademark it

cursive summit
#

But he didn't, it's the same character

#

Yeah this is some murky waters that Musk is wading in

#

Oh yeah

fair gull
#
Description of Mark:    The mark consists of a stylized letter "X". The left side of the "X" is white and the right side of the "X" is blue. The shaded square carrier represents background only and is not a part of the mark.
Color Drawing:    Yes
Color(s) Claimed:    The color(s) white and blue is/are claimed as a feature of the mark.
cursive summit
#

But it's a non-profit so thye prolly won't mind

fair gull
#

the trademark is literally just for the foreground mixer x

#

not even the background

cursive summit
#

I imagine Meta's trademark won't matter much

#

Considering it's for Mixer

fair gull
#

well its a trademarked mark so you cant just use it yourself

#

and if musk would have made an earily similar one with the same colors

#

they could easily sue

cursive summit
#

Apparently Microsoft also own X, trying to find that one

fair gull
#

prob the xbox x

fair gull
#

plus the thin arms arent aligned

cursive summit
#

Not sure if this is enforceable considering the services aren't even mentioning social media

fair gull
#

can only enforce it on the services it applies to

reef patrol
#

I'm sure a certain eagle of the legal kind will chime in soon enough.

cursive summit
#

Well the more Musk gets sued, the better

elon owning x.com makes it very hard for someone else to fight it anyway

it would be very hard for anyone to trademark a single letter as is

vagrant pagoda

case law

fair gull

most trademarks are specific to very niche uses or to stylized versions

domain name ownership is king in us

its pretty hard to fight it

i feel like you have no idea about mr nissan's fight

the difference is mr nissan doesnt have a trademark for the word nissan nor will he

fickle ore
vagrant pagoda
#

read his legal briefs and case results

ashen spindle
latent mural
fair gull
#

and laid claim to the domain by alleging

#

so

#

the court case isnt about what we are talking about

#

no one cares that elon has x.com

vagrant pagoda
#

Mr Nissan owned many Nissan trademarks

#

INCLUDING nissan motors

fair gull
#

i cant find that anywhere for the case outcome

#

the court case was purely over nissan wanting the domain name

#

nothing else

vagrant pagoda
#

there were multi cases

#

look up cases for uzi nissan

fair gull
#

i did

#

and i found 1 case

vagrant pagoda
#

in what court system?

fair gull
#

the us

vagrant pagoda
#

which one

fair gull
#

i mean if you can find it so easily

#

send it

vagrant pagoda
#

we have 1000s

fair gull
#

link it

vagrant pagoda
#

there it is

#

lmoa

fair gull
#

thats not a court case

vagrant pagoda
#

when he died all the stuff came off his site

#

so im going though archive

#

which is slow as balls

fair gull
vagrant pagoda
#

he had links to it all

#

there are 1000s of court systems in the us

#

to seach them all would take months

fair gull
#

as mentioned all i can find is a single case where nissan claimed its trademark DILLUTION due to similar name and logo and that nissan as a company has sole claim to the domain.

vagrant pagoda
#

what about cybersquating

fair gull
#

thats the whole sole claim

#

its 1 case

#

with multiple claims against mr uzi nissan

#

but nowhere was there trademark INFRINGEMENT

#

and the argument is that elon infringes on either Meta or microsoft trademarks

#

which he isnt

#

at most Xorg could claim similarities in logo

#

as they both use a very similar stylized logo

vagrant pagoda
#

please search the word infringment

#

the infringment was thrown out

ashen spindle
#

Well the mixer x trademark isn’t limited to that sort of stylized X but X as term for social media so it could be applicable

vagrant pagoda
#

he literaly had cars for sale on his site under nissan motors

#

which nissan then added to the suit

#

they won a injuction on infrigment grounds

#

but lost the appeal

fair gull
#

ok so i do admit i was slightly wrong but explain to me how the MIXER logo that Meta trademarked and x for very specific use cases that Microsoft has.... would influence elon

#

like at all

#

because that was the entire point

vagrant pagoda
#

the way it works in us isnt who has tradmark first

fair gull
#

elon cant get a trademark for the letter x

#

but no one will fight him

vagrant pagoda
#

its who had "fame" in use first

fair gull
#

cause no one has a trademark he infringes on

ashen spindle
#

Meta holds the "X" trademark for "online social networking services... social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming and application development..."

vagrant pagoda
#

elon worked for x.com before any of those tradmarks existed

#

and owns it now

fair gull
#

its about a stylized x

ashen spindle
#

Yes and no it can for more than just that variant of it

vagrant pagoda
#

Uzi Nissan used his name in the us BEFORE nissan motors did

#

which is how he own his case

fair gull
vagrant pagoda
#

he had the first "fame" in use of the name

#

owning a trademark dosent make you god

ashen spindle
#

Either way it depends on what local rules get added since states also have weird laws and all on top

#

So we could all be right or wrong and the opposite could happen

fair gull
#

i dont know how youd bend rules to make a trademark of a mark apply to x.com

reef patrol
#

That sure doesn't sound like Elon's mark.

fair gull
#

exactly

#

the trademark meta has is basically a very specific stylization of x

#

and microsoft can only get elon if elon actually does smth in the same sector as microsofts trademark

#

microsofts goods and services secton is slim

vagrant pagoda
#

why do you think owning a tradmark is the gold standard

#

they are lost all the time

fair gull
#

its not but the internet does

#

my point is elon wont get fought

#

nor will he fight anyone

vagrant pagoda
#

see how it says first use and first use in commerce

fair gull
#

cause x is the dumbest company or product name you could have

vagrant pagoda
#

elon and co first used x in commerce in 99

fair gull
#

idk if you dont read or dont wanna read

#

no one will fight x

vagrant pagoda
#

yes

fair gull
#

nor does elon fight anyone

vagrant pagoda
#

because they will lose

fair gull
#

no one besides elon thinks X is a good name for anything

vagrant pagoda
#

not because its elon

fair gull
#

yes they will loose and yes not because its elon

#

that was never a debate

vagrant pagoda
#

its the same reason paypal sold it to him

fair gull
#

first of no one has a trademark or anything for it. so no one has grounds to sue him

ashen spindle
#

I think you two are arguing for the same side lol

fair gull
#

second of no one wants x

vagrant pagoda
#

nah

fair gull
#

x is unsearchable

vagrant pagoda
#

single letter tld are crazy money

fair gull
#

x is unuseable in every day language

#

x.com would be at best a good domain for showing off

#

also

vagrant pagoda
#

zuck spent like 10 million on fb.com lol

ashen spindle
#

I mean as an app for anything it works because x the variable for anything

fair gull
#

elon has 1 strong contender if you actually think fame alone determines the domain holder

#

XCOM

#

1994

vagrant pagoda
#

and z.com sold for about the same

fair gull
#

weirdly similar to x.com dont you think

latent mural
fair gull
#

uh oh

#

elon in hot water

vagrant pagoda
#

. isnt -

fair gull
#

ah sorry

#

i usually dont pronounce hyphens

#

but true

vagrant pagoda
#

and its common use to not include the tld in names

fair gull
#

x hyphen com is different to x dot com

#

wait now i know why nissan lost

#

now it makes sense

vagrant pagoda
#

Mr Nissan used Nissan Motors to sell cars

latent mural
#

Let’s cool it down in here

fair gull
#

also im almost 100% sure the name x-com isnt related to their branding

#

the branding that they already used for the first game

#

which was an x a floating dot and com

#

but last i checked ascii didnt have floating dots

vagrant pagoda
#

ascii wasnt all ibm bios had

#

it had bullet and interpunct

#

last row almost at the end is both

latent mural
#

Elon chose 5 random letters from here to make his daughters name

reef patrol
vagrant pagoda
#

i guess the actual font isnt in bios only the char table

#

so techically its mda/cga rom

fair gull
#

the game came out for dos and amiga and i assume they could make a very reasonable case if amiga doesnt have a floating character

#

im not well spoken enough in amiga to know this

vagrant pagoda
#

A5 is bullet

fair gull
vagrant pagoda
#

yes

#

ibms and amiga both had MORE than ascii

fair gull
#

not for filenames i believe

#

but sure

#

idk why else all their marketing doesnt have a hyphen

vagrant pagoda
#

xcoms filename wasnt x.com

fair gull
#

correct thats not what i said

vagrant pagoda
#

also og xcom wasnt even on amigas

fair gull
#

it was

#

X-COM: UFO Defense (known as UFO: Enemy Unknown in Europe) is a 1994 science fiction strategy video game developed by Mythos Games. It was published by MicroProse for DOS and Amiga computers, the Amiga CD32 console, and the PlayStation.

#

anyway my point was their logo (which many people would have interacted with) was an x with a dot and com

#

and just logically xcom has the best chance of having any claims against elons x.com

vagrant pagoda
#

what logo?

#

i have my xcom boxes in hand now

#

they are -

fair gull
#

idk man the second one doesnt look anywhere close to a - to me

#

the original cover might be argued its swuished

#

idk if they care though cause if they cared they could have fought over x.com long ago

#

not to mention nowadays they are known as XCOM

vagrant pagoda
#

wtf is the secondone from?

fair gull
#

series logo

vagrant pagoda
#

from?

fair gull
#

i googled it

vagrant pagoda
#

what was it printed on

#

or in

fair gull
#

apparently meant for an unrelease x-com game

#

x-com alliance

vagrant pagoda
#

and when did it come out

#

the logo

fair gull
#

1999

#

not that it matters too much. this fighting chance is theoretical and most likely 2k wouldnt act on it at all

#

cause they rebranded

vagrant pagoda
#

so

fair gull
#

long long ago

vagrant pagoda
#

oddly

#

my copy of interceptor

#

has that logo

#

with a dash?

fair gull
#

u mean this game?

#

with a dot?

vagrant pagoda
#

but on gog

#

it has a dot

#

mine looks like this

fair gull
#

i didnt even know it has a different logo than what i posted

vagrant pagoda
#

same LMAO

#

thats why its weird

fair gull
#

might be US/EU differences

#

but either way i dont think xcom would fight

#

due to rebranding

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah

fair gull
#

would certainly be interesting to see 2k rebrand again from xcom to x-com or whatever style they choose nowadays

vagrant pagoda
#

maybe have real math this time?

fair gull
#

only unreal math in this town

reef patrol
vagrant pagoda
fair gull
#

tl;dr for anyone: elon wont get fought over x.com or branding as X

vagrant pagoda
#

i have never had worst odds on 90% than xcom

#

i recorded my results one play though

fair gull
#

that sounds like bad rng not bad math

vagrant pagoda
#

and literally 70% had the best actual results

reef patrol
#

Yep. Literally just completely neutral math.

#

Bias at its worst 😄

vagrant pagoda
#

over an entire playthough

#

i recorded each preview and if it hit or not

ashen spindle
vagrant pagoda
#

so like a few 1000 entryds

fair gull
ashen spindle
#

The newest one

vagrant pagoda
#

xcom2 prob

#

ive had multiple 100%'s miss

fair gull
#

didnt play it

reef patrol
#

Xcom like most games just spit out a series of numbers based on a seed. So unless you start savescumming and replace dice rolls to shift the sequence, or toggle seed re-generation, then it's going to do the same over and over.

#

85% chance? Dice roll of 1-100, if it is 84 or below, it's a miss.
Edit: The opposite of course. I am derp.

fair gull
#

it doesnt use background noise from the universe to determine my rolls?

reef patrol
#

Right. Long work day xD

reef patrol
fair gull
#

also better to cutoff the beginning and end and not just the end as if you just do the whole if its below X it wouldnt work for bell curve distributions

#

which some RNGs are

reef patrol
#

What XCOM lacked was a resource to guarantee a hit at a critical moment.

reef patrol
#

Lot of games do this to let you cheat fate, but only very limited.

Tbf 61TB would be pretty attractive for enterprise I imagine

reef patrol
fair gull

they exist yeah but datacenter specific usually

reef patrol
#

Wouldn't have expected otherwise with such a long, thing stick. It looks GPU long.

#

So... completely out of consumer form factor.

fair gull
#

31cm or so

cursive summit
#

So how do these connect to a device?

#

Is it PCIe?

#

SATA?

#

Something else?

fair gull
#

with a finger socket

#

u.2 would have a more adaptable connector

cursive summit
#

I guess this is not meant for typical consumer PCs

#

Server only

fair gull
#

u.2 connector

reef patrol
fair gull
#

which could be adapted to pcie

#

but i would assume the 61tb drive either doesnt come in a good size or has some other means of not being compatible with normal consumer gear

reef patrol
#

So something like this for an editing PC, but twice as long or more?

fair gull
#

so the locking mechanism works

#

i dont see it ever as a pcie card itself

reef patrol
#

If you say so. I assumed you could get it as just an NVME style board, with a connector at the end.

#

So socketable.

fair gull
#

i think they exist as pure boards

#

but i also assume a 61tb variant wouldnt be cooled efficiently that way

reef patrol
#

And even if not available as such off the shelf, I'm sure someone will make an adaptor card similar to the above, for consumer PCs that want the capacity without a server rack. You know... YT editors, Streamers and such who care more about purpose than price 😄

fair gull
#

almost sure theyd just make external enclosures like they do for u.2 disks

#

usually easier to have an external cube and then usb 3.2 or smth

reef patrol
#

Sure. But they make those for 2280** M.2* NVMEs too.

#

I'll bet someone does something like this, even if it is really not the best way to do it. Because there's always a market for it 😄
