[halcyon willow]

need your help

so its reading 380 watts on the PCAT vs 425ish on the cybernetics?

confirm for me

yea.

[crisp granite]

or, for advanced users

know german

[reef patrol]

But. Are you here to fuck spiders, mate?

[crisp granite]

borrow this: ä

anyway
couldn't be worse than my attempts at german
ish

a dialect of

[ashen spindle]

Lekker is Dutch and it’s Käse but close

[crisp granite]

which I have mostly forgotten

[crisp granite]

german, like autism

is a spectrum

the higher you go, the weirder shit gets

[ashen spindle]

Not in written form thankfully

[crisp granite]

...absolutely disgusting

should have grown up on CSA like the filthy frenchies wanted smh

[halcyon willow]

13700k or 7800X3D?

[crisp granite]

Pentium 4

older is better

[halcyon willow]

https://tenor.com/view/terence-fletcher-whiplash-answer-answer-me-shouting-angry-gif-23530973

[crisp granite]

this is where I get to state that the german I was learning...didn't even have capital letters

because it doesn't use the latin alphabet

it's ok though
I already forgot everything

[ashen spindle]

noun = capital letter

[crisp granite]

proper

or just any noun?

[ashen spindle]

had to look up what a proper noun is and what the opposite is lol

yes all nouns

[crisp granite]

ONLY 4.5 POUNDS

[reef patrol]

[gusty kiln]

kek nice

[wheat plume]

Since when did YT Music start censoring the lyrics???

[misty saffron]

“oh my g*d”

[wheat plume]

D*mn

A = ass btw

Fill my ass with cash

[sharp badger]

Is there some setting?

[wheat plume]

Nope

[halcyon moss]

Just for this song?

[wheat plume]

Lemme check ...

[sharp badger]

Oh there's the clean version and the ''dirty'' version

YT chooses the first one

[sharp badger]

https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/thread/196079918/how-do-i-stop-yt-music-from-playing-clean-versions-of-songs?hl=en

[wheat plume]

Oh
It might be just the song

[wheat plume]

The song isn't censored
Just the written lyrics

[sharp badger]

Ah ok wtf?

Spotify have the Explicit albums and non-explicit would've thought that it'd work the same

Family friendly video sharing site lol

[wheat plume]

Ytm has that too

I keep mistaking E for Everyone though xd

Not E for Explicit

Still can't forgive Microsoft for butchering this song in Forza horizon 5

You think ytm is just automatically pulling them from another site?

Hmmm

Uep

Yep

But this is the same provider as the censored song and this isn't

Maybe they changed since that first song lol

It's a couple years old compared to this one

I doubt it.... This has only the original and Acapella versions

Same lyrics

Different site this time ....

Guess this explains the lack of follow along lyrics that scroll as the song plays

The words aren't time stamped to the song

[sharp badger]

Can one choose which place the lyrics come from or is it always auto assigned?

[wheat plume]

nope!

There are many popular-ish songs in my playlist that do not have lyrics for them

Despite me having the dedicated YT Music version thats just the song and album art

[gusty kiln]

microcenter sells pulsar stuff now

[wheat plume]

Is it bad to leave an fm transmitter plugged into the lighter port in the car when it's not running?

Like if it's not driven for days

And the things plugged in the entire time

It also has a USB port with a cabke to charge the phone when driving

[sharp badger]

Depends on the car but still the power draw should be minimal

[wheat plume]

The transmitter has a blue ring around it that lights up when powered on
And it's off when the engine is off

So it should be ok?

[sharp badger]

Yes

[wheat plume]

Ookk....
The mechanic said to keep it unplugged when not driving so I got worried

I've never done that in the 3 years I've had the transmitter

[sharp badger]

Yeah if one have a weak battery for sure every extra device plugged it's just better to unplug

[wheat plume]

The car has had 3 previous owners and idk if or when the battery was replaced

[sharp badger]

But with what you're describing the FM Transmitter plug is turned off when the power is turned off

[wheat plume]

Yeh
It should be

But even with the key not in the ignition ... The car display can turn on and show the time and shit

But can't use radio or whatever

[sharp badger]

Ok? wierd

[wheat plume]

So there is power draw :/

[sharp badger]

Sounds like it

Car batteries should last like 3-4 years but can last shorter or longer, it all depends on Driving, Climate, Accessories etc.

[wheat plume]

The only issue I have if I need to replace this one is needing to go through the whole radio unlock code bullshit again

It's pure miracle the guy decided to trust me and just gave me the code for it with my previous car

Otherwise I'd have to send them the tax book and shit to prove I owned the car and I couldn't find that at the time I needed the code

[sharp badger]

That sounds like a hassle 😅

Never had it in the cars i've owned but understand why some would like it activated 😅

[wheat plume]

I couldn't use the radio at all without the code

Which meant no music from my phone cause FM transmitter

There was a way to get around it but it only worked until the engine turned off

[cursive summit]

Chromebooks? That's like, mega budget

Nobody would ever claim that you are stupid sunshine

I beg your pardon

Hmm https://youtu.be/uryvVFB2tOk

That's just bragging at this point, calm your ego

You are not secure if you are not running TempleOS

Anyways, imo, in my theory the most "secure" PC is a live OS boot with all the files on the cloud

A bit of a hassle prolly, but should be the safest

[crisp granite]

...and there we go
get the connection and you could slip anything in as if it were nothing

[cursive summit]

Tbf as long as only a virtual sandbox has internet access, and the main PC is offline, then it would be rather secure

The thing is, I don't get obsession with security, like, who's going to be interested in you?

Well in Fymrin's case, some people might, but even then getting targeted is highly unlikely

[wheat plume]

Isn't bakelite the stuff used to make the hand grip of the mp40?

[cursive summit]

Also literally bakelite AK-74 magazines

[wheat plume]

Aha

[cursive summit]

That orange is cool though

[wheat plume]

It does look neat!

[cursive summit]

Doge. relax

He was asking you to.. eh..

You two sort your sexual tension out or whatever you got going

[crisp granite]

now I'm confused
what are you on about, Vex

[cursive summit]

Logs never lie

Doge trans?

[crisp granite]

that would be quite the plot twist

[cursive summit]

Aaand on that note

Hey now, unless you got something illegal to hide, what do you need encryption for?

Criminal

[ashen spindle]

encryption bans dont hurt me, nobody will ever crack the double-rot13 encryption I'm using

[cursive summit]

So.. where's deckard?

[crisp granite]

...data is clearly valuable if businesses make a killing off of selling it

[ashen spindle]

how is deckard even remotely related to apple devkits

[crisp granite]

may as well secure it and sell it on my own terms if they're so desperate

[cursive summit]

Thematic association between both being glasses

[wheat plume]

FUCK YOUTUBE MUSIC
you can't stop playback anymore .-.

Before you could swipe down to stop music playback in the app

But all you can do is pause it now

[cursive summit]

Click the stop button?

[wheat plume]

And to stop it you need to close the app entirely

[cursive summit]

Heh? That makes no sense

[wheat plume]

They only let you pause and cast
Swiping down does nothing anymore

[ashen spindle]

so whats the issue exactly there? if its paused does it autoresume?

[cursive summit]

Swiping down for me stops the song

What's wrong with this functionality?

[wheat plume]

The issue is I don't want the app clogging my media playback widget when I'm using another app that's playing audio

[ashen spindle]

you can run multiple apps playing sound on phone?

[wheat plume]

If you don't close the app you are stuff with the media widget

[wheat plume]

Yes
But if you are using Bluetooth headphones it sometimes doesn't interact with the correct app if you want to skip to the next song or pause / play

Since YT Music still technically has an audio stream open

[cursive summit]

Sounds like a very Lana issue to have

[wheat plume]

Nah

[ashen spindle]

so if you pause yt music your BT headphones cause spotify or something else to start a new song?

still not sure I get whats going on

[crisp granite]

a lana issue would be a very minor linux issue on the OS she's using this week that anyone with passing knowledge of linux could clear up in about three commands

[cursive summit]

Lana hates the widget that appears if you minimize YTmusic app when something is playing

You cannot get rid of the widget in the menu if music is playing

A very Lana issue to have

[wheat plume]

If I was using yt music for audio
And I pause the music and swap to play audio on a different app

If I try to skip or pause the audio in the second app, sometimes it caused yt Music to do that action instead of the app I wanted

[ashen spindle]

I mean that sounds like the second app is broken and doesnt properly register as the in focus app

[wheat plume]

It only sometimes happens and it's with any app since yt music prevented you from actually stopping the audio session

Got to close yt Music from the recents menu now

[ashen spindle]

but another app getting into focus should put that app in foreground so that seems more like that app not working correctly to me?

[wheat plume]

Yes
Yes I do

But the ones I've seen so far are too expensive for the hardware you get ;_!

The only one with good hardware for the price was the Jingpad but that's cancelled now

Yeah ...that's the best option so far

What distro?

[cursive summit]

You'd almost think you were getting paid for shilling Graphene so much

[wheat plume]

I like sailfish UI a lot

So pretty 😍

And the gestures are great

But I hate the company who make it :/

Wanting you to pay to send the phone to them in order to unlock the bootloader

It's like 30 euro or whatever to get it unlocked

Yep!

But the pinephone is really bad hardware

At least sailfish used Sony phones with good hardware

If I can get Linux on a decent powerful phone I'd love it

Like current flagship specs with Linux

O

Xd

[cursive summit]

https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/07/rocket-report-starbase-comes-alive-again-china-launches-four-times/

[wheat plume]

O.o

[cursive summit]

Does graphene have some kind of compatibility layer with android apps?

If it doesn't support revanced for youtube, ytmusic and reddit, I'm not interested

[wheat plume]

Use LibreTube and Innertune instead

They are open source on fdroid

[cursive summit]

Well if Sony 1 V ever gets graphene access, I might get graphene on it

[cursive summit]

Don't care

[wheat plume]

You can even subscribe to channels without needing any account

[cursive summit]

Shame, well, not happening then

[cursive summit]

Exactly why I have no interest in this or that NewPipe thing

[wheat plume]

You wanna have to use a yt account?

[cursive summit]

Obviously

That's where my algorythm is for recommendations

And I actually value the algo

Imagine actually having to search for videos

It'd be unusable

Thanks for the suggestion, but again I really don't care for privacy

Graphene would just throw me off, I like android as is

[wheat plume]

Graphene looks identical to pixel android

[cursive summit]

There's also been a whole thing where my banking app or smart ID would not work on it, potentially

[wheat plume]

Yah that's the biggest issue :/

Oooooohhhh

Hek

[cursive summit]

I get why some people are obsessed with privacy

But lack of privacy brings QoL, like a personalized algorythm

I don't have much to hide tbf, so I'd rather have my data collected for ease of access

[crisp granite]

or you could just know what you're looking for in the first place

[cursive summit]

I don't

If I get an interesting personalized video I might click on it

Apple is in such a weird position considering everything is closed source

[crisp granite]

you know that was one of the reasons I actually switched to apple, right?

I just didn't openly admit it because I didn't want to seem like a paranoid tinfoil hat collector

[cursive summit]

It's in theory the safest yet the most egregious

Eh I just dislike Apple devices, so imma stick with Win and android

Macs in particular are 🤢

iPhone I could prolly cope with

[crisp granite]

you couldn't be more wrong

[cursive summit]

Ok apple shill

I would love for virtually every single indie game I play to never launch on a Mac

Or run like shit

[crisp granite]

...yep

as someone who has experienced both intel and AS macs

AS is a massive improvement

[cursive summit]

Not for long

Stagnation is setting in and Apple's getting left in the dust yet again

[ashen spindle]

except now apple silicon kinda lost its lead and isnt really doing much above what we have now in x86

[cursive summit]

It's actually rather awkward how M2 was a weird sidegrade over M1

[ashen spindle]

not really

was expected

[wheat plume]

Yeh but it does it with much less power draw and heat and noise

[ashen spindle]

no?

[crisp granite]

they still sell M1 macbooks lol
it was expected that it would slot in well with the existing product suite in places, replace in others

[ashen spindle]

also power draw heat and noise is the same they all come from the same root so no need to list them thrice

[cursive summit]

That's kind of an Arm thing to be more efficient than x86 and even then new gen Ryzens are comparably efficient

[ashen spindle]

false

arm is not more efficent by default

[cursive summit]

"lesser of all evils"

Return to monke, embrace stone age again

[crisp granite]

maybe not that far back

[ashen spindle]

if you compare it against 5 year old chips still maybe

[wheat plume]

No?

[ashen spindle]

yes?

[crisp granite]

gay?

[ashen spindle]

phx is on paar wiht m2

[cursive summit]

Ayo

https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2022/07/qualcomm-launches-snapdragon-w5--and-w5-platforms-for-next-gener

[crisp granite]

right to repair will always be dead in the water
privacy is theirs to invade, always
best you can do is pick your battles between secure phones, as you stated

[cursive summit]

For a damn watch?

[crisp granite]

me when fallout 2 watch port

[ashen spindle]

in which cases is it still doing the same with much less power than zen4 or similar?

[misty saffron]

weird take, does that mean i can personally make an efficient arm cpu?

[cursive summit]

Per Notebookcheck's testing

M2 Max consumes more than a i7-13th gen ultrabook CPU

[ashen spindle]

max powerdraw means nothing without results at that powerdraw

[crisp granite]

learn to type

something something upping your finger game

[cursive summit]

Ayo, relax

[crisp granite]

truthfully though, I would use voice to text if I didn't speak in a pretty incoherent manner and start to slur words after a while

[wheat plume]

OK SINCE WHEN WAS THE LIBREM 5 THIS EXPENSIVE???

[misty saffron]

are they measuring entire pc's power draw and yet labelling them with the soc names?

am i missing something?

[wheat plume]

LOL IT'S EVEB MORE EXPENSIVE IF YOY BUY THE USA MODEL

[ashen spindle]

good to know trying to ask lana a question still ends with just some random unrelated other posts coming a bit later

[misty saffron]

we had a term for that

[crisp granite]

yeah...that was the case at launch too
they made that abundantly clear then

[cursive summit]

Tbf if you compare virtually every single laptop with average powerdraw on load, M2 does well, but not as great as some other laptops https://www.notebookcheck.net/Benchmarks-and-Test-Results.142793.0.html?&sort=b_current_current_load_avg&model_class=-1&max_results=500&month=24&archive=1&or=0&showBars=1&test_current_current_load_avg=1&model=1&cpu_name=1&gpu_name=1

[wheat plume]

Yeh but the price tripled

[cursive summit]

That does not lead to the website I am in

Now it does

[crisp granite]

and getting all your shit made in the USA is about that expensive compared to outsourcing to east asia, funnily enough

[ashen spindle]

what do you meand does well

it just show powerdraw under load

that means literally nothing

[cursive summit]

That is your "efficiency" though

[ashen spindle]

no?

becuase we dont know what the performance is here?

[cursive summit]

30.9W with load on average is pretty good

[ashen spindle]

literally means nothing

[wheat plume]

Seems they reduced the price of their sim card plan ....which is good

It was 109 dollars a month .... Now it's 40

[misty saffron]

wym, a spreadtrum soc only consumes 5w, it's more better

[crisp granite]

they tend to be put out later on, at least with the last two launches

[crisp granite]

airpods...

heh best 420 ish bucks I ever spent

[wheat plume]

420???
You get Airpods Max?

[crisp granite]

no, dumbass
the apple bra costs nearly 800 before tax

[wheat plume]

Oh wait
Canadian dollar

[crisp granite]

just pros
second gen

[cursive summit]

Hold on a second, Galaxy Tab S9 is out?

[wheat plume]

Yes

[crisp granite]

maxes aren't even that price in euro though

[wheat plume]

No
Airpods Pro

In Canadian dollar

[crisp granite]

including local taxes

[cursive summit]

They waterproofed a damn 14.6" display tablet?

Impressive, Assmung

My S8U isn't waterproof

[crisp granite]

before taxes, it's 330 iirc

[wheat plume]

They waterproofed a foldable phone
So yeah
A tablet isn't a big deal to them anymore

[crisp granite]

wow voice to text screwed up there

either that or your speaking ability is somehow worse than mine

[cursive summit]

Have you seen how big the Tab S Ultras are?

[wheat plume]

Yep!!

[cursive summit]

The fact they successfully IP68'ted a laptop display sized tablet is honestly, cool

Seems like the upgrades over my S8U are incremental and nothing revolutionary

[wheat plume]

I fail to see how that's harder to do than with a small phone

[cursive summit]

Basically same old tablet, one generation better SoC

[wheat plume]

Welcome to the world of modern tech

Barely any upgrade
Much more expensive than previous gen

[cursive summit]

And that's fine

If the S8U falls in price, I highly suggest getting one

Have had it for over half a year now I think, absolutely amazing for, well, anything

Games, emulation, media

[crisp granite]

hm...

I could say the same thing about my macbook

[cursive summit]

Nobody asked

Also, macbook? This is iPad competitor we are talking about

[crisp granite]

you actually use a tablet?

only one worth a damn is the remarkable 2

[cursive summit]

No, I just have it as a decoration

[wheat plume]

Isn't that e-ink?

:')

[cursive summit]

It's surprising how tablets are somewhat bridging the gap between laptops and tablets

Really the drawback remains the operating system, imo

Performance is getting more and more "laptop-like"

[wheat plume]

So does my uncle

He's got a 3rd gen he does everything on

[cursive summit]

I think what I love the most about the S8U is that it's basically a 15" display I can connect wirelessly to my PC rig and use as a third display that's touch enabled

It's.. kinda wonderful

[wheat plume]

Oh that's slick

I would love a touchscreen for my desktop

[cursive summit]

Ever heard of drawing tablets

[wheat plume]

Only the mega expensive ones have a screen

The rest are just a touch surface

[cursive summit]

Define mega expensive

[wheat plume]

400 and above

[cursive summit]

I bought my sis a 23" Huion for like 500$

[wheat plume]

Yeah
Mega expensive

[cursive summit]

That's I would argue, rather decent

This little shit

[wheat plume]

They all look so ugly

But fair enough

[crisp granite]

haha that's what I said in the nursery

[cursive summit]

That's what they said about you in nursery, you mean

[crisp granite]

I wasn't there for that

[cursive summit]

So how do you know you said it, in the nursery?

[crisp granite]

I'm so powerful a being that I have databanks of no longer relevant info purged to keep the world safe

occasionally it leads to weird stuff like that

[cursive summit]

Ahh, I got it

Cerebral palsy

[wheat plume]

... Oh

Is it limited to console only or their PC ports too???

[ashen spindle]

what pc ports

[wheat plume]

Oh so it's not limited to the console ....

[ashen spindle]

I mean its kinda limited to console or do you use xbox live on pc?

[wheat plume]

Every game Microsoft release on Xbox they also release on windows

And you need to use the Xbox app pk windows to login to the game

So if you got banned by this on the console you'd be banned from your Xbox games on windows too?

Oh

Can't wait for 𝕏.com :')

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal.

And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist.

Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

[halcyon willow]

but can it still play bluetooth?

It forces audio over usb mounting

For music

[ashen spindle]

[cursive summit]

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

TLDR 7800X3D a far better option with better outlier performance results, better power efficiency and better price

Hell they even kinda handicapped the X3D by giving it 6000MHz memory instead of 7200MHz of 13900K and it's still better

I guess that's mostly cause X3D supports up to 5200MHz and the 6000MHz is a decent overclock

That's weird, 13900K supports up to DDR5 5600 MT/s

7200MT/s is a large overclock, to the point where I'd be getting concerned for voltages and stability

[ashen spindle]

what are you talking about its not a handicap its the best it can do

[cursive summit]

You can't OC the memory on the Ryzen to 7000MHz?

[ashen spindle]

5200 is jedec and neither intel nor amd will ever have officall support for OCs

you can but in 2:1 mode which doesnt do anything really for gaming

6000 works on all, 6200 maybe on some and perhaps golden sample can do 64 but 6000 is as good as you should expect

The winner is among the rest of the headphones you didn't buy.

[cold magnet]

do the Lekker switches (or wooting keyboards overall) give off more EMF than a regular wired keyboard?

[reef patrol]

More? Probably. But it's all within industry standards. We have to go through very thorough external testing of all of our hardware, before it's put into production.

Yeah, I can imagine there are a lot of tests to go through before launching a product. Thanks for the quick response (y)
Do you know at the top of your head what the maximum allowed radiofrequency or electric field for a keyboard? Also (again if it is not a hassle) does the maximum allowed values differ between wired and wireless?

[reef patrol]

Oh that's a touch too indepth for me. If you send us an email, we might be able to provide some values for our stuff specifically.

Anything sponsoring on yt has to be a scam

it is pretty funny tho

seeing the kamikoto debunk, the established titles debunk, and so on

[gusty kiln]

I've been using Mullvad for almost a year now

definitely gets my reccomendation

expressvpn seems alright because they have been raided before and gave up nothing

Mullvad uses ramdisk

so power goes out, data goes bye bye

@prisma crag what you think of the latest SNW episode?

Fair enough Intel

Wait, according to the article, Intel is gearing up to manufacture Intel 20A processors already?

The tech for 2nm is ready?

[ashen spindle]

yes because as usual naming of nodes means nothing

[cursive summit]

Ah the usual "everyone invents their own specifications" thing

[ashen spindle]

you should be aware of that by now

[cursive summit]

I would have given the benefit of the doubt they actually had proper 2nm ready

[ashen spindle]

what does that even mean

what is proper 2nm

[cursive summit]

Well yeah, proper 2nm physical size somewhere on the chip

[ashen spindle]

we did not have that since 32nm

thats nothing new

[cursive summit]

Cause just calling it "2nm-class" and that particular measurement not being anywhere in the actual chip is, imo, a bit dumb

Although I did read up on the Intel nodes a bit and they seem rather technologically impressive, TSMC will finally have competition?

Intel ditching FinFET for RibbonFET, whatever that is, and also this new PowerVIA tech that they are introducing

[wheat plume]

Linux From Scratch?

[ashen spindle]

ribonfet is gaafet

[cursive summit]

Isn't it MBCFET?

Does anyone know what’s up with 4090ti ? Any leaks or something that can help me decide if i should wait or get the regular oc version

[ashen spindle]

90ti aint coming

[kind sky]

Damn

True

Haha I’m about to pay $2550 before tax for the ASUS 4090 oc…and that’s $200CAD on sale

[ashen spindle]

tbh I would not go with an OC model but get a regular one and set it to 80% powerdraw

[kind sky]

Only a slight price diff

We’re in the gutters of the pc world

[ashen spindle]

powerlimit/uv/memOC and it's amazing and wont kill your powerbill

[kind sky]

I’m not too good with tech so I don’t wanna tell you I fully understand what’s going on there

[ashen spindle]

basically you can limit the card to only draw 70% of the power and you still get 98% performance, you can tune it even further but that would be the simple one click thing

[kind sky]

https://tenor.com/view/computer-stick-man-table-flip-look-at-you-9gag-gif-26257332

You mean …a 2% performance loss???

[ashen spindle]

yes

[kind sky]

What is it exactly that determines Asus being at 2.8k cad and the others being 2k

[ashen spindle]

asus brand tax

[kind sky]

Is this better than the others? Just cooling wise I assume

[ashen spindle]

^

[kind sky]

I thought it was the opposite

[ashen spindle]

watercooling means its also less slot it takes up

[kind sky]

Ive been getting the whole warn the fire department you bought at 4090 type of vibe

[ashen spindle]

that is the connector not the card itself

[kind sky]

Ah

[astral haven]

there should be folks selling 8 pin based 4090s right>

[ashen spindle]

no

maybe diy hacks I guess

[astral haven]

shiiiiiit

[vagrant pagoda]

only dual 8

i think they were going to do 12+8+8

[kind sky]

What would u guys say are a couple main reasons cpu usage % runs high? My temps are good on Evga 3080ti oc/ i7-11700k but it goes up to 99% if I have like Fortnite and my synapse open together

[astral haven]

sadness

[vagrant pagoda]

what is using the cpu

[kind sky]

Sorry to split the convo

Fortnite maybe exit lag at less than 1%

[vagrant pagoda]

also there are some vrm stages left out

[kind sky]

But Fortnite’ and synapse are at like 70/20

[vagrant pagoda]

synapse shouldnt be suing 20

[ashen spindle]

I mean if your usage is low you would just leave performance ont he table but synapse shouldn't use that much

but if you have lower hardware usage why have the hardware lol

[vagrant pagoda]

it should be pinning a 11700

[kind sky]

I tried from 1k-8k polling and 8k was pretty bad but 1k at least

[vagrant pagoda]

polling shouldnt change synapse cpu

[kind sky]

Even my fps,,, ppl with 1660 are pulling twice mine

Idk what’s up with it

[vagrant pagoda]

what res

[kind sky]

But I’m about to devote my life to make sure I never go through it again

[kind sky]

Tried everything

[vagrant pagoda]

what is your res

[kind sky]

1350x1080-1920x1080 which is current

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean youre cpu bound at 1080p

[kind sky]

I assume

[vagrant pagoda]

why even have a 3080ti for 1080

lol

[kind sky]

I’m looking at 1440p but i built it for comp

[vagrant pagoda]

if youre doing comp

wtf do you have anyhthing running

[kind sky]

Wasn’t too knowledgeable on any computer parts (still not really) but I just need to go ddr5 and 13th gen i9

Would cost 4k for that here and 5-6 for a max pc new so if I sell 3080ti build I just get a brand new one

[vagrant pagoda]

again

if you are seroius about being a pro gamer

dont have anything running when you play lol

Literally just my game discord and exit lag

Yeah there's a good question to be asked here

Why did you release the details on the vulnerability BEFORE patches were released

[ashen spindle]

because that title is false and amd did not discover it but google and they released it after notifying amd

you also already posted this last week and nothing changed since then lol

"We're not building this to offer this to compwnies for paid testing"

Somehow that sounds like an LTT diss

Linus's goal iirc with his whole lab this was to have them for videos as well as for sale as a service

[reef patrol]

Linus said the same though?

[marsh glade]

No, Linus said he'd be willing to offer a certification service via the lab

[reef patrol]

Really? I could have sworn he said the oppposite during either Wanshow or the latest update. That they wouldn't be offering it to anyone, because it could be seen as a paid review.

[halcyon moss]

That's just good business sense. Those things are expensive

[shadow minnow]

I think he’s not going to be offering it like that but he did mention certifications. I mean with how expensive the lab is I guess it kinda makes sense

[reef patrol]

Yeah I probably misunderstood something.

[ashen spindle]

something similar to the psu testing that cybernetics does and now offers ratings that people should use instead of 80+

[vagrant pagoda]

i think he means people can pay to have ltt's test suite

to game the system

but they can pay for industry standard testing

[ashen spindle]

or maybe it was just a comment to make clear its not for that without it being targeted at ltt at all

[cursive summit]

Must have no clue what the difference between "sounds like" and "is" means

Both entities are opening labs, both are competing in same space, one is more commercial, other pro-consumer

Intended diss from Steve? Probably not

Comes across like it though considering the circumstances

[ashen spindle]

I mean they are "competing" just the same as always for like 10 years or so, seems a bit off to now throw jabs for no reason so I don't see that being the case

literally 2 minutes in he talks about how historically other outlets have sold test services and they wont do that, so cant be about LTT

I want to note that GN said they will not rent it out to hardware makers in the space, that does not mean they may not be open to offer the service to other things, or maybe to other review outlets as a source of data.
In a sense, having a 250k worth of tooling for only a limited number of reviews is kind of wastefull.

I feel like the issue with hydrogen is still the part of how you get the hydrogen

surely EV still beats it by just transforming the electrical energy that you can get much more efficently

[empty pasture]

@reef patrol waht is the lekker switch's magnet force this is the once on Gaterons switch " initial Magnetic flux: 102Gs
Bottom Magnetic flux: 905Gs " Im very intrigued wahts the ones that come with wooting60he 60liner 45lekker switch I love modding so if you can give some insight it would help alot thank you

[halcyon moss]

Is he burning it? Whyyyyy

Hydrogen has many problems, and all are inefficient.

1. Creating it. Splitting water takes tons of energy. The process requires complicated techniques and materials
2. Transporting it.
3. Storing it. Smallest things just go through containers. Very high pressure needed. It's apparently quite corrosive.
4. using it. Exploding it in an engine is super inefficient. A feulcell is an electric car but with more steps.

Maaaybe in the future when hydrogen is plentyful

Some of the new techs seem quite interesting in how they produce hydrogen

[ashen spindle]

but in what way can you ever get a bigger conversion rate from energy->making h2->burning h2 for movement from electricity->using it for movement

[fickle ore]

ehh that's not the point and just focusing on random variable instead of the whole picture

[ashen spindle]

but what is the whole picture? if you add in stuff like battery weight that is just another problem like h2 has problems that can be solved

[fickle ore]

Too many to list

[ashen spindle]

I mean just one as an example so I know what you are on about

[fickle ore]

Photoelectrolytic cells and Direct air electrolysis seem very promising for green hydrogen production

and I forgot one tech

Pevroskite where it at

[ashen spindle]

but you still have conversion loss even if say you have 99% efficency there

[fickle ore]

taht matters not

[ashen spindle]

so what benefit does it offer that outweigh the energy loss from extra steps

[fickle ore]

I'm not gonna list everything, so just a short bullet point list

*battery materials and overall footprint from mining and production
*weight & tires & road breakage & dust
*ease of use
*cost for end user mainly due to battery + footprint (average life span of just 8 years for a battery module)

• gets worse with non-lithium materials
• even less range with non-lithium
• mining of said mineral / host rock and their impact

Im sure someone gets paid to calculate every step

thats not me however

[ashen spindle]

so basically if someone makes sodium batteries and then stuff like the current LK99 works out it beats any H2 advantage, if not the race is on for it do be more efficent due to weight and materials sources

[fickle ore]

lol and how much range do sodium batteries give? I can drive 30 km and warranty is 2 years?

[ashen spindle]

seems like making electricity available via high power lines seems easier than having an h2 pumpline

[fickle ore]

How is range affected by cold weather?

[ashen spindle]

are you following the LK99 thin since last week?

[fickle ore]

nop

[ashen spindle]

short version, room temp super conductor that might be real, not in the sense as in it solves all the issues that the 0kelvin things do but good enough to massively improve compact electric motors for example

[fickle ore]

we will see when it's confirmed

If it turns out to be magic that's gonna be epic

[ashen spindle]

no it wont be magic but good enough to be usable if anything

but that's an example of how the big EV problems can be solved just as well as the H2 problems and then you get back to the advantages being gone for the most part and you are back to differences of the raw efficency

[fickle ore]

yeah it can be solved with batteries if adamantium exists

😛

I wanna believe

Superconductor would fix a lot of stuff

[ashen spindle]

better conducting, lower weight allows for more battery, sodium based ones starting in massproductiong from catl as we speak that solves the lithium issue

[ashen spindle]

to reiterate, technically one by definition but not the same as what you'd expect so it wont solve all issue but could be helpful on small scales like compact motors

[fickle ore]

Except, it's not confirmed yet. Looks like we'll know the results of other independant teams in august at the earliest

[ashen spindle]

I know, just saying if it does confirm it's not the holy grail

[fickle ore]

Meanwhile, Direct air electrolysis seems very promising

Instead of normal electrolysis you have surfaces that directly electrolyze via sunlight

nomnom

[ashen spindle]

I just find that so hard to believe because that goes against anything physics ever taught me

[ashen spindle]

the part where you gain more from it than just the sunlight to electricity and then also gain more than the extra parts on top for storing etc. would take such insane efficency that we would need something more unlikely than roomscale superconductor

[fickle ore]

Did it say that anywhere? Oo

[ashen spindle]

I mean how else would it make sense

if you gain less we are back to it creating less power than just direct charges

[fickle ore]

The point is to make hydrogen, and there are reasons to do so, for storage etc

ofc it's less efficient than direct charge

But it's much more efficient than regular electrolysis

[ashen spindle]

like there are absolutely points where it makes sense, if I had a remote house I would use H2 tanks to be full off grid and store power from PV in the summer

but those systems are like 50% efficency loss

I just cant see it beat EV unless something massive happens in that field but nothing in EV markets

[fickle ore]

Are those using PEC'

[ashen spindle]

https://www.homepowersolutions.de/produkt/ idk, these things

[fickle ore]

Yea I'm sure even those systems can be improved and costs cut with new techs. Probably even becomes feasible in future for cottage stuff for the normal guy

[ashen spindle]

sure but you're not wanting to have 6 months storage in your car

[fickle ore]

No, but I wanna range of 1000km to travel to my cottage in -20 celsius 😄

and 1-2 min pump time cause time is money

[ashen spindle]

sounds like getting solid state sodium batteries to that level is more realistic than improving all the current problems with H2 to me

I mean maybe they do an intel in the EV industry I guess but that seems a bit unlikely

[fickle ore]

If they improve batteries sure I'll take one but atm I'm more interested about H2. I'm too frugal to buy a car that I have to replace the battery in 8 years that costs same as new car, but I'm not the target audience. Just seen some news about e.g Ford backpedalling on EV's and some others too bc they've been losing money on them. They don't see growing until the EV's hit 25k$ price point or so. They're just too expensive atm. https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/tavares-says-ev-sweet-spot-25k

[halcyon moss]

You forget that a hydrogen car is a electric car. Smaller battery.. True..

[fickle ore]

Both have their pros & cons

big con for both is price atm

[ashen spindle]

well the main idea is that for now you can store h2 more dense and with less weight than a Li/Na battery

thats where h2 has the opening and could do something just imo very hard to actually be competetive

[empty wren]

We need graphene batteries so much more thin

But many years away

[chrome prawn]

Would low profile mechanical switches be a doable thing? I can imagen the hall effect is gonna behave differently so different presets would be needed. But it would be siick

[fickle ore]

Def a lot behind EV's atm. I wish Musk had a hardon for H2 instead

[halcyon moss]

They exist, not lekker, but low profiles exist

[ashen spindle]

I wish musk would {redacted on public discord}

[chrome prawn]

hmm are there any compatible with wooting ?

[fickle ore]

Considering he owns spaceX I find it odd hes not into H2 harder?

[halcyon moss]

No

[fickle ore]

What is the future fuel for space flights?

[chrome prawn]

H2 is only useful fo specifric purposes, high ISP, pretty shitty thrust and power

[chrome prawn]

in spae, to space or from space?

if differs depnding on what you trying to achive

[fickle ore]

Probably in space, to space is rather boring

idk

[chrome prawn]

Electric propulsion or nuclear tbh, insane effiecency and would probably be the only thing we can use to achive % of speed of light

[fickle ore]

Maybe it can be exciting with lower barrier to entry

[halcyon moss]

I don't think hydrogen even makes sense for trucks anymore..

[fickle ore]

Yeah for deep space for sure

[chrome prawn]

Unless we solve the hydrogen production problem, its pretty much a waste at the time

[halcyon moss]

And then cars are a bad place to use that hydrogen. So many other uses

[chrome prawn]

best part is that hydrogen cars are still usually running on electric power, as you using fuel cells to run the electric motors. The only thing the hydrogen is, is a better energy storage

but a lot more expensive one

[halcyon moss]

Also practical issues.. Like it needs very pure air, so expensive often replaced filters

[fickle ore]

What propellant is used in the ISS?
The ISS Propulsion System, managed by the Russian Segment, makes use of Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) as fuel and Nitrogen Tetroxide (NTO) as oxidizer. With over six tons of propellant storage capacity, FGB serves as a large reservoir of ISS propellants.

Interesting

what does it say?

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah recent drivers fixed more idle power cases it seems

so far VRR reduces desktop power draw, no reply from amd yet

[fickle ore]

nice weird its just vrr

fml I bought a tv, I bet it sucks. Swear TV's are harder than other components

[ashen spindle]

true thus I am glad I dont need one

[crimson wigeon]

Makes sense that VRR would reduce power draw

[ashen spindle]

thats what you think but on nvidia it increases it

[crimson wigeon]

Oh

[fickle ore]

Got this it was 899$ Samsung QE65Q80B 65" 4K QLED (2022 model) apparently the US ones are using IPS panel and the reviews sucked but EU use VA panels

Zelda on it 😍

[ashen spindle]

see I would need to go with an A95K or such because I have been spoiled by oled

so add a grand to the price lol

[fickle ore]

Yeah I bet 😄 I rlly wanted to get OLED but whats another 5 years

[fickle ore]

wtf

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/r7LZZg4czBg

it can barely do youtube above 720p but it can do Spotify and thats what he wants it for xd

[halcyon moss]

Weird, seems like a waste of Power :p

[halcyon willow]

if he could get a walkman or an ipod to play spotify id be more impressed

[wheat plume]

XD

Lenowo 🤢

[halcyon moss]

No TouchPad

[wheat plume]

LenOwO GOwO

Yeah...you need touchpads LOL especially for Windows

Ive heard countless people who own an Ally that it sucks to navigate Windows with joysticks and touch

dafuq is that bulge on the back?

just make the whole body thicker

so ugly

[pale sigil]

The bulge is how it asserts dominance

[cursive summit]

That is usually how everyone asserts dominance

That bulge on my lithium ion battery be LIT 😳

[halcyon willow]

spicy pillow

[wheat plume]

danger package

LOL

and the melting SD cards....

[ashen spindle]

if only they had asked amd for actual good chips instead of bad binned laptop chips it would have been nice ever with software issues

[wheat plume]

the main advantage the Ally seems to have over the Deck other than performance is the fan noise being very quite

[ashen spindle]

maybe if someone gets as lucky as valve did with the SoC or does actually pay for a better one we get amazing handhelds but till then, meh

[wheat plume]

lucky

they helped design it

then AMD built it

It wasnt luck

[ashen spindle]

for the last time no they did not

[wheat plume]

design...not build

[ashen spindle]

yes I know

amd also did not build it tsmc did

[wheat plume]

Valve told AMD the requirement they wanted to reach

and AMD made it

its not off the shelf
