I used to love ZorinOS before they switched to Gnome desktop

#

Had compiz built in and I messed with the animations and effects for hours

#

Now ZorinOS is just another gnome Ubuntu based distro

fair gull
#

Now ZorinOS is just another debian based distro

wheat plume
#

Don't they base on Ubuntu?

#

Maybe they used to anyway

fair gull
#

what is ubuntu based on lana

#

think real hard

wheat plume
#

Yes
I know

#

But Ubuntu has its own release schedule and changes compared to Debian

fair gull
#

the same relation zorin and ubuntu have

#

almost like this shit happens all over the linux ecosystem

#

everyones just someone else in layers of coats

analog sinew
#

i understand more about nge lore than linux lore

wheat plume
#

There's still a difference between Ubuntu based and Debian based
Take Linux Mint for example
Mint and Mint Debian are different distro to each other

wheat plume
#

:') still true

#

They are slowly getting rid of the Ubuntu based version though

final flame
#

this is giving me the same vibes of
Macos is linux because it's Unix based

fair gull
#

well yesnt i guess

#

its is heavily BSD based iirc

#

which is unix compliant

#

although then again they named their kernel XNU which means x not unix or so

#

but ye basically all are unix based

#

although theres a funnier image

#

almost looks like a graph of linux distros

#

(big graph of browsers)

analog sinew
#

shits more complex than the tree of life

fair gull
#

more high res

halcyon moss
#

Everything is webkit/blink besides firefox

vagrant pagoda
#

That's shows up like 480p for me?

#

Just a mobile thing

#

so, my PSU includes a 12VHPWR cable that terminates in two of Corsair's micro connector "type 5 gen 1", don't know the wattage that cable can deliver through those two connectors, so I don't know what that cable can actually deliver

#

good times

#

I got a nice elegant little cable that might be able to power a 4090
or struggle to power a 4070

#

Corsair's site is nicely devoid of anything useful

final flame
#

it's the corsair promise

ashen spindle
#

micro connector?

crisp granite
#

they call it "type 5 micro fit"

#

it's on the PSU side

ashen spindle
#

doesnt that just mean pcie5 compliant aka the 12pin ?

crisp granite
#

nah

ashen spindle
#

got a link to it

crisp granite
ashen spindle
#

all I can find is regular connectros

crisp granite
#

PCI-E to type 5

#

the type 5 is a really small PSU 8 pin

ashen spindle
#

oh so just regular psu in smaller

crisp granite
#

I don't know what those are meant to power because corsair site is shit

#

so I got a cable that terminates in two of those on one side, and a 12 plus 4 on the other

ashen spindle
#

if its regular 8 pins its 150w but can go higher

crisp granite
#

...so anywhere from 300-500+

#

nice

ashen spindle
#

I mean its all rated for 150w but nobody uses it that strict

#

also doesnt matter unless its a 4090 that you want to OC

vagrant pagoda
#

Really small 8pin?

#

Like the size of the 12pin pins or a normal 8 pin

wheat plume
crisp granite
#

exactly that

wheat plume
#

Kabaddi?

vagrant pagoda
crisp granite
ashen spindle
#

why though

#

ocing it is pointless unless you got for benchmark imo

#

I have mine at 80% powerlimit lol

crisp granite
#

...fair enough

vagrant pagoda
#

Unless you like noise

crisp granite
#

closed back headphones

#

👌

vagrant pagoda
#

Stock coolers don't go far with OC

ashen spindle
#

and if you want to tinker undervolt + mem oc does this

#

<300W for stock performance

crisp granite
#

TL;DR
it should provide at least enough for 100% power limits, and I should tighten it down anyway

ashen spindle
#

yeah

vagrant pagoda
#

Throwing tons of power at it is only a Intel gimmick now

crisp granite
#

works for me

vagrant pagoda
#

Everything else is pushed hard stock

#

Well I guess Intel is too

#

They just need more thermal headroom

ashen spindle
#

Intel says competitors are selling half-truths by introducing Zen2 in Ryzen 7000 stack An aggressive Intel campaign is aimed at the AMD Ryzen brand.  Intel released a slide deck titled “Core Truths,” positioning it as a playbook designed to inform customers about the nuanced reality behind the latest CPU technologies. The presentation appears to...

#

the slide deck is removed from intel now but still on VZ

halcyon moss
#

It's shitty marketing, but I have to agree it's pretty terrible meaning on amds part

ashen spindle
#

but this is pot kettle black

#

at least with mendo you have the 2 in the name for zen2

#

14th gen literally is 13th gen

#

lower segmend is literally 12th gen still

#

but doesnt have the name of it

#

14400 and such is just rebranded 12th gen

umbral heron
#

And that's coming from someone who kept their Core iX brand for years, so they could brand older CPUs as "latest technology" dogekek

ashen spindle
#

their slide deck means that for comparison they either disabled cores on amd or couldn't copy paste correctly

#

those are 8 cores

#

so at best they cant even make a slide correctly when talking about bad numbering

vagrant pagoda
#

Also

ashen spindle
#

time to convert MP3 to MIDI

vagrant pagoda
#

Amd actual puts the gen in name now

#

Other than desktop which is all current gen

final flame
vagrant pagoda
#

7735 is zen 3 and 7840 is zen 4

final flame
#

they doin some magic

vagrant pagoda
#

Which is why the 7840 is a 800 vs the 7735 is a 700

ashen spindle
#

no the 3 is zen 3 the 4 is zen 4 lol

#

the 8/7 means just which segment

#

aka not very relevant

#

year/segment/uarch

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

the 800 does not mean zen4

vagrant pagoda
#

Zen 4 gives it the performance boost to be a 800 vs the zen 3.being a 7000

ashen spindle
#

no that's not how its used

vagrant pagoda
#

Despite them having the same TDP and core count.

ashen spindle
#

its just a segment like Ryzen 3/5/7

umbral heron
#

7840, third number means which Zen it is

vagrant pagoda
#

Yes

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

no but the next part is wrong

vagrant pagoda
#

They are both 45w 8c16t

ashen spindle
#

zen4 does not elevate the 7 to 8

#

thats just random marketing

vagrant pagoda
#

The 7840 is in the 8 because it's faster

ashen spindle
#

literally not

vagrant pagoda
#

Yes they are both ryzen 7s

#

The zen4 is faster and this is a higher market segment

thick elk
#

Honestly, marketing aside, I am glad AMD at least committed to having the architecture in the cpu name.
Given the desires of oems and marketing it may just be the best one can hope for.

ashen spindle
#

yes oems is why first number bigger each year

vagrant pagoda
#

And the 5 is the 7735 means it's at the upper end of the 700 segment

thick elk
#

They were selling ryzen 5xxx for quite some time as well, at least it differentiate new model old cpu from old model old cpu

umbral heron
#

So by that it means 3600 was released in... 2019?
Damn, my CPU is getting old pepecry

crisp granite
#

...damn

ashen spindle
crisp granite
#

so glad I have a 7800X3D in my closet

#

and the only reason I haven't switched to it yet

#

is that I still don't have the means to put the stuff in my case

#

...yay

umbral heron
ashen spindle
#

does it actually line up lol

#

I guess with skipping 4 series to attempt to get numbers in check that did help that timetable

vagrant pagoda
#

There were 4000 mobile though lol

umbral heron
#

Yeah, but those were Zen 2 too

ashen spindle
#

yes skipping 4 on desktop i meant

#

by calling zen3 the 5000 series

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah it's still.crazy naming

ashen spindle
#

intel 10th gen was solid

#

then it all went down

vagrant pagoda
#

At least they kept amx and ddrx

#

Amd's socket dedication is honesty amazing

ashen spindle
#

nah its 3 gens

#

I can see something like AM5+ for big apus if that plan sticks but zen6 shouldnt get ddr6 so platform stays

vagrant pagoda
#

Gens is fine, as long as they stick to am6=ddr6

ashen spindle
#

zen6 will not have ddr6 and who knows what the desktop apu plans are that we will get by then, am6 will have the open bios opensil thing but that comes servers first so I dont see why they would rush that for that either

vagrant pagoda
#

Zen6 will likely still be am5

#

Amd said am5 though atleast 2025

#

And there is a leak for am5 still in 2026

#

And zen6 is roadmapped for 2025

ashen spindle
#

sure that too but it's more about them not using ddr6 and the changes for zen6 aren't going to change what pins they need

#

what companies say or leak doesnt mean much xD

vagrant pagoda
#

Zen6 big thing is just stacked on the iodie

#

Instead of interposer

#

Shouldn't change the pinout

ashen spindle
#

zen6 big thing back to monolithic for desktop

vagrant pagoda
#

It isn't mono

#

Its stacked

ashen spindle
#

any sources or patents for that

gusty kiln
#

back to mono? really?

vagrant pagoda
#

The leak slides say a monolithic levels of latency

#

Which would indicate that it is not a monolithic product

gusty kiln
#

ahh

#

either way, faster infinity fabric is always better

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah

#

Stacked makes sense

#

Wonder if that means the io dye will finally shrink to the same as the core die

gusty kiln
#

interesting franken-chair

ashen spindle
#

stacked is what is out there for server products, desktop and server is going to diverge with 6 onwards

#

oh the stacking is from a mlid video

#

yeah no that seems to be what they do in server

crisp granite
#

pfffff
not bad

#

got one 30% off a while back though

i need help
what does it mean when it says this
SPEED RGB SILVER : 1.2 ± 0.4 MM
1.2 ± 0.4 MM
what is the plus and underscore for
?????????

vagrant pagoda
#

tolerance

#

means it could be from 0.8 to 1.6mm

storm bone
#

so the acctuation point could be anywhere from 1.2mm and 0.4

vagrant pagoda
#

1.2 - 0.4 = 0.8 and 1.2 + 0.4 = 1.6

storm bone
#

?

#

im so confused

latent mural
#

It could be from 0.1mm to 4.0mm

vagrant pagoda
#

± mean + and -

#

1.2±0.4 = 1.2 - 0.4 = 0.8 and 1.2 + 0.4 = 1.6

latent mural
#

Shut up einstein

storm bone
vagrant pagoda
#

between 0.8 AND 1.6

storm bone
#

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

so there isnt a specific actuation point

#

it varies?

How much powwa

vagrant pagoda
#

less than the rgb

worn rain
#

Power

#

Keyboard bugs when using tachyon mode with anything other than the original cable.

#

due to lack of voltage.

vagrant pagoda
#

i dont use the orginal cable

#

no issues

#

use a better cable

Thank you for your response.

short raven
#

@prisma crag tell me

#

What is cheaped out?

#

32 gb ddr5 6400 kit rgb
3 fan MSI ventus oc 4070 (there's a non oc 2 fan ventus that's $59 cheaper)
I7 13700KF
$165 hyte y40 case

#

PSU is 80+ gold I don't feel like taking off the back panel to show it

#

700w PSU which is plenty for this system

#

$170 ASRock z790 board with 4x superspeed m.2 slots

#

It's 4070, 32gb ddr5 6400 i7 13700kF

#

It's listed in quite detail right above this claim

sharp badger
#

iBuypowerfans? 😆

short raven
#

It scored 18008 on timespy without anything being overclocked

hard wadi
#

Oh yeah they use neo forza ram

short raven
#

That's impressive since it groups overclocked scores with stock ones

short raven
#

It's always rgb ram but the display model had trident ram

#

For example

#

And I looked up other ppl unboxing them and I saw different brands from machine to machine

fair gull
#

people run timespy? i thought the extreme tests are what people with OC run

hard wadi
#

People run everything

short raven
#

Look, my main point is that there's nothing cheaped out here

fair gull
#

iirc the lower tests (non extreme) can easily bottleneck

short raven
#

Every part in here is enthusiast grade parts

hard wadi
#

Here's mine on speedway

short raven
#

Ppl run timespy because it's free

#

Btw

#

Other benchmarks cost $$$

fair gull
#

oh i forgot its paid... since i got it for free

short raven
#

The only real thing this computer has wrong is that it's not the best config for performance per dollar

#

An i5 with a 4070ti would be the same price

#

And been 20% faster overall

#

Instead of the unlocked i7 with a 4070

#

What do you think I paid?

#

For my computer on a black Friday deal

#

That is the most important part here

fair gull
#

69420

short raven
#

Maingear would've charged $3800 for this spec

#

Just take a guess

fair gull
#

might be good to list the parts

short raven
#

I did

#

What did I pay for this?

fair gull
#

3000.69420

hard wadi
sharp badger
#

The Mobo,fans and AIO is defo cheap the PSU is probably good but cheap

umbral heron
#

$3799

short raven
#

I presume it means they support very fast ssds

fair gull
hard wadi
#

It is

short raven
#

Anyone guessing what I paid?

fair gull
hard wadi
#

But what is it doing with nvme

short raven
#

Real guesses

fair gull
#

mine was real

short raven
hard wadi
fair gull
#

35.71GBP

short raven
#

In what world when the GPU is $650

short raven
#

Actually

hard wadi
#

Damn

short raven
#

It's 1800 now that the sale is over

#

But it was $1500 for black Friday when I bought it

#

All enthusiast level gaming parts too

short raven
#

Mainly because I don't know how to answer that

#

What do you want to see?

hard wadi
#

Then there's me with an asrock phantom 7800xt, an asus rog strix gaming wifi ii, ryzen 7 5700x and 3200mhz ram

#

With a 1300w psu

short raven
#

I kinda want a 7900xtx

#

But I cba upgrade the PSU

#

And ruin all the cable management

#

So I'm just gonna stick 4070

#

700w PSU has room for a 4070ti if needed

hard wadi
# hard wadi With a 1300w psu

Which is a little overkill but it was the price of a normal 800W psu and didn't find anyone having problems with it online

#

On discount ofc being half the price

short raven
#

What do you think of a 7900xtx

hard wadi
short raven
#

It's got 100w more draw in average in gaming

#

Than the 4080

hard wadi
#

It's also a little cheaper

short raven
#

It's the same price

hard wadi
#

Here it's cheaper

short raven
#

Well rn 4080s are inflated

#

So they are $1200

#

Xtx is $1050

#

But they were the same price

#

Wow one single benchmark showing only 50 extra w

#

That's still a lot

#

Though

hard wadi
#

The cheapest 4080 here goes for 1229€
The cheapest rx 7800xt is 100€ cheaper here

short raven
#

Im already in bed and shut my PC down for the night

#

These photos and this benchmark I posted are from a week ago

#

How do I check that?

hard wadi
#

Yep

short raven
#

It's an 80+ gold PSU from Corsair

#

I'm sure it's fine

#

It's not like the old days where you got unrated OEM psus

hard wadi
#

Weird

#

I can't find 700w corsair psus

#

Only 750

short raven
#

I'ma just open the back panel and get a model number

#

Making me do this annoying shit

#

To see the model number on the PSU

#

I'd have to remove it

hardy idol
#

honestly I could care less about power consumption

short raven
#

From the machine

#

That's not gonna happen

steep creek
#

Just send a link to the website where you bought the computer, I’m sure they have all the specs listed😎

short raven
#

@prisma crag I found the model number for the psu

short raven
#

For a black Friday deal at bestbuy

steep creek
#

Ah

sharp badger
#

12700K & 3080 ain't that far off in performance

short raven
#

It's this PSU

#

But the 700w version

#

Ibp used to have a partnership with Corsair

#

So I assumed it would be Corsair but

#

It's high power instead which is a company that doesn't sell to consumers

#

Only to oems

#

They sell workstation/server psus

#

The weird part is high power doesn't sell a 700w PSU

#

But this one states to be 700w

#

On the side

#

Unless it's a custom order

sharp badger
#

Well i don't trust High Power psus

hardy idol
#

It's probably as trustworthy as Xilence or smth

sharp badger
#

Yeah

short raven
umbral heron
#

It looks like another run-of-the-mill OEM duck_sip

hardy idol
#

other easy place to cheap out is cable management

short raven
#

The memory is legit

#

Ram and ssd

#

This PSU is the only part I'm questioning about but it has all the proper ratings and certifications

#

If an enthusiast grade PSU

#

It's designed for servers which run 24/7

hardy idol
#

pure comedy

#

Servers rarely use ATX PSUs

umbral heron
#

Server PSU have quite different form factor usually duck_sip

hardy idol
#

Oh and server psus are preferably more than 80plus gold

sharp badger
#

Check out the ram in HWiNFO later

umbral heron
#

Those are server PSUs, designed to be hot-swappable

hardy idol
#

Samsung identifying as hynix a

sharp badger
#

Yeah that too

short raven
#

Im not seeing anyone saying anything is wrong with high power psus

#

They are a known OEM used by dell and hp

hardy idol
#

because god are dell and hps reliable

short raven
#

Fairly enough yeah

umbral heron
hardy idol
#

oh sirtec ive heard of that yeah

#

I only fw seasonic and bequiet tbh

short raven
#

ill run cpu z

#

my machine also draws nowhere near 700w

#

4070 is absurdly power efficient

hardy idol
umbral heron
#

I will never touch Seasonic again I ran through 3 of their PSUs and all 3 of them had the same issue of randomly turning off PC and not letting me turn it back on for 5 minutes or so
bequiet and Cooler Master are fine by me

hardy idol
#

never had issues with seasonic tbh

short raven
#

im not seeing memory brands in cpuz @prisma crag

hardy idol
#

cooler master is a brand i wouldn't buy

short raven
#

ohh i see

#

Sk hynix

umbral heron
#

I have Cooler Master MWE White 700W V2 now, works just fine duck_sip

short raven
#

asrock z790-c

#

motherboard

hardy idol
short raven
#

its weird though

#

because neo forza doesnt sell 5200 rgb

#

only 6400 rgb

#

the 5200 only comes in non rgb

#

so its an item that doesnt exist if thats the case

#

that would fall on neo forza

#

not ibp

#

id say

hardy idol
#

cpuz wouldnt lie

#

it is pretty much incapable of lying

short raven
#

i actually didnt know what the ram speed was

#

i bought in store

#

i made that assumption after looking at neo forzas ram

#

on their website

#

they didnt have a rgb ram stick below 6400

#

so i made that assumption on my own

hardy idol
#

they can order them because volume probably
if he checks the sticker on the sticks he'll probably find some weird sku too

short raven
#

ok grandpa

umbral heron
#

3600X + 6700XT will never chug anything in the neighborhood of 700W but still dogekek

short raven
#

but i think its reasonable to assume

#

that if the only product the company sells is 6400

#

that the one i nmy pc is probably 6400

hardy idol
short raven
#

i doubt that is a risky assumption

#

actually

#

at 1500 dollars

#

i still got a lot more than i paid for

#

but yea, i guess ibp custom ordered this ram

#

much like the psu

#

both are probably oem specs

#

not retail

#

At the end of the day, I got good parts and a good score on timespy

#

And more than $1500 worth of parts

#

And a warranty on it all

#

It's also worth pointing out

#

Ram is dirt cheap

#

A 6400 kit 32gb like this kit

#

Is $90 rgb

#

$70 non rgb

#

The only part that angers me

#

Is that i can't upgrade to 64gb

#

Because getting 2 more sticks of the same ram is impossible

#

Because it's not commercially available

#

Essentially if I want to upgrade ram I need to throw out the sticks I got

#

64gb of ram isn't purely useless

#

In my line of work I learned real quick

#

If you can pay someone else to fix something

#

Always do it

#

So is 64gb of ram bad?

#

What's the point here

umbral heron
#

Using 4 sticks bad

short raven
#

Nice

#

I'm going to bed I have to work in the morning

umbral heron
short raven
#

But I can upgrade to a 2x 32 kit

#

For 64 aswell

umbral heron
#

I've found 2020 v1 version too

clever topaz
#

ever since i upgraded from 2x8 to 4x8 it was a nightmare

#

especially with first gen ryzen that need to do memory training on every boot

#

love that 2 min boot KEKL

umbral heron
#

I have 4x8 now too, every time I boot my PC there's a dice roll - will it boot with 3200 or reboot 3 times and boot with 2666
Thankfully now more often boots with 3200 than not duck_sip

final gyro
#

i got 4x16 💀

umbral heron
#

I'm going for 4x32 next year dogekek
Finally I would be able to use 1 PC for work instead of a PC and 2 laptops

final gyro
#

4x32??

#

what the

#

what do you need 128gb for?

umbral heron
#

VMs
Lots of VMs

final gyro
#

are you hosting a sever?

clever topaz
#

Nahhh screw vms, we goin in w docker and k8s KEKL

umbral heron
final gyro
#

ah i see

#

i have 64gb rn

#

and i swear it has never gotten past 30gb

#

only time i hit 28gb was when i was coding my game

umbral heron
#

I have 32 and besides work I only used more than 16 for Tarkov

final gyro
#

i see

clever topaz
#

im struggling with 16gb on my laptop

final gyro
#

also do yall feel ram speed is a scam?

#

like the difference between my ddr5 laptop to my ddr4 desktop is not even noticeable

final gyro
clever topaz
#

for now its scam yea but it will be important in the future

final gyro
#

like how?

clever topaz
#

a lot of games still dont use direct storage

final gyro
#

yea most of it is ram

clever topaz
final gyro
#

but i feel like they wont make it so unoptimised that its purely ram speed and stuff

#

wait actually unless gta 6 comes out with something

#

like details gonna be insane

umbral heron
#

But of course they will
Just like nowadays they're using DLSS/FSR to hide the fact that the game is unoptimized

final gyro
#

yea lol

#

just put it in the gpu vram

clever topaz
#

thats the problem, most gpus dont have that much vram lol..

final gyro
clever topaz
#

im pretty sure its gonna take another 10 years until we see consumer cards with 24gb+ vram

final gyro
#

like ofc some goes into the actual ram

clever topaz
#

and not talking about 4090 stuff

final gyro
#

like that bitcoin mining amount

Microsoft: gets caught with their Windows 11 BS by the EU
EU: Forces them to give control back to users
Microsoft: Decides to make a seperate build of Windows 11 to comply for EU customers but still keep doing all that shit for everywhere else

Hopefully you can install the EU version outside of the EU somehow

if you change it to your native language it will switch all that bs back on

You mean if you switch it to Spanish it enables it because Spain is not in the eu?

A few more cars actually.

steep creek

yeah doug was using an adapter, likely fits the others

halcyon moss
#

It also fits the kia ev6

#

It's the same platform.

#

V2l or something

#

Platform name is e-gmp

steep creek
#

yep

#

e-gmp

halcyon moss
#

Some can also charge other cars

#

Some can deliver power back to the grid

steep creek
#

i believe this ioniq supports biodirectional charging yeah

halcyon moss
#

But that's still early tech

steep creek
#

and then the kia would too naturally

#

yeah years ago i saw nissan advertising with the old first gen leaf that it could give power back to some big battery you had at home

#

but seems that idea didnt take off for now

halcyon moss
#

Chargers which do that are pricy

#

And you need the correct car

#

And it's scary to use a battery like that.
Although it seems fine on the degradation of the battery

steep creek
#

yeah i havent looked into this too much but to me its more sensible to not discharge the car this way. rather have something like the tesla powerwall if you want to rely less on the grid

#

with solar panels of course

#

this type of converter wasnt possible

steep creek
#

ah right that was the reason

astral haven
#

these are many hundred volt DC connectors

#

ford and hyundai are chickening out and only doing AC

steep creek
astral haven
#

which means you are limited to around 12kw max theoretically

#

the box alone is 9k

#

for the powerwall

#

installation adds another few k

#

usd

steep creek
#

yikes yeah i can see why its not worth it in that scenario

astral haven
#

it can be worth it, but it requires relatively high electricity prices and use

steep creek
#

13.5 kWh, and we dont get much sunlight here

astral haven
#

in particularly awful time of use areas, it can pay for itself on its own

#

but only in locations where they sell to the grid

steep creek
#

actually my uncle commisoned to get solar panels installed but he decided not to in the end, because it would take some 25 years to get returns on it

#

yeah for some areas its a good investment

astral haven
#

the powerwall has a special deal with utilities where it buys and sells power in a relatively optimal manner back to the grid

#

the prices the utilities normally give are atrocious, and you can massively speed up repayment of panels or just have the powerwall pay for itself

vagrant pagoda
#

A consumer hv DC device is porb hard to bring to market

#

Most electricians couldn't work on it

astral haven
#

nah

#

solar is super common

#

tho moving to microinverters means its now ac

#

but still DC vs AC isnt that huge of a difference

#

at least from the electricians side

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean they don't have the buffer to spin down

astral haven
#

like actually zero or is it like 10%?

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah to many sold and they couldn't handle it

#

It cost money to import peak power like that without control over it

astral haven
#

i imagine a powerwall could make bank there

vagrant pagoda
#

They need a ton of storage to make it worth while

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

in hawaii?

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah

astral haven
#

thats super short wth?

how much per kwh?

vagrant pagoda
#

Before they blocked it company's would install panels for free and you would pay them the power bill

Minus like 30%

no, what time of use?

how much off peak how much peak

No peak power

Renewables take care of peak

They have a shit ton of solar

astral haven

how much does 1kwh cost peak
how much does 1kwh cost at the off peak

vagrant pagoda
#

The same

astral haven
#

what

vagrant pagoda
#

Residential has same pricing

#

Peak only applies to large businesses

#

Even at 50 cents it's heavily subsidized for residential

#

They shift the burden to the hotels and such

#

But it shifts a ton

#

It's only like 15c pre fuel surcharge

#

After fuel surcharge it's over 50

astral haven
#

november and december this year estimated rates
yikes

#

46c/additional kwh estimated

#

excluding fixed costs

#

oh and how much does gas cost?

#

$5 says google
that seems relatively fine?

steep creek
#

$5 a gallon?

astral haven
#

presumeably

steep creek
#

thats not bad tbh, close to half our price for a full tank

astral haven
#

and for a 40mpg car, 12c per mile
about 10x the cost per mile of my car
and infinitely more than an aptera would be

steep creek
#

i considered a 21 gallon tank car doing 27mpg combined, 23 in the city asnd 31 highway

#

excited for the aptera but also kinda into the ioniq 5 now

its a damn expensive car

Electric isn't great at 50-60c kwh lol

#

Prime doesn't have a ton of range/battery though

astral haven
#

yea im charging from solar which our utility pays us 6c back for, so thats effectively my cost

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

14 kwh 40 miles

#

So 7 bucks for 40 miles

#

For $4.5 for 54 miles

#

So electric is worse than gas

astral haven
#

mine is 20kwh for 72 miles
you sure thats correct?

#

remember the primes reserve a significant portion of the battery for the hybrid system, so you actually have to do the math

vagrant pagoda
#

Even if it's half the battery it's barely worth it

#

3.5 for 40 vs 4.5 for 54

astral haven
#

yea

#

worth it for free ofc lel

vagrant pagoda
#

Yep

#

And the only supports slow AC charger

#

So it's easier to find a charger

astral haven
#

well same lel

#

but yea for me its $1 for 80 miles of commute or 60 miles of highway

vagrant pagoda
#

But it pays for itself on the uphill trip

#

Steep grades are horrible on gas efficiency

#

You are getting anywhere near 50 let alone probably 20 uphill

astral haven
#

downhill too, if you didnt have the battery youd be putting that energy somewhere else in the car

#

aptera hype

#

its pretty incredible that the aptera charges (in terms of miles per hour) within an order of magnitude of my current car just from the sun

#

my car can get about 20-25 miles of range in an hour of charging from the wall
the aptera charges about 4 miles per hour of just sitting in the sun

As for it actually triggering people with photo sensitive epilepsy, debatable but when your intent is flashing colors that's the problem.

It is not just some incedental effect of a moving background, flashing is the whole thing.

The December 2023 Feature Drop update brings a much newer Arm Mali GPU kernel driver to Tensor Pixels, which users report significantly improves performance in games like Genshin Impact and Fortnite!

The GPU kernel driver has been upgraded from r38p1 released on August 18, 2022 to r44p1, which was released on October 11, 2023 (H/T @mile_freak07). (The GPU kernel driver version in the current Android 14 QPR2 beta is still r44p1.)

If you have a Tensor Pixel, try out some games/GPU benchmarks and see if the performance has improved significantly for you.

Alex Mullis noticed a major performance improvement in Genshin Impact a few weeks back after the game's version 4.2 update. The game ran quite poorly on the Pixel 8's Android 14 stable release, but ran much better on the QPR beta.

User TechDroider did a performance comparison between stable Android 14 and Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1 in Fortnite.
