xD

[vagrant pagoda]

they are vp9 so its likely just failing to gpu decoding them

[wheat plume]

would enabling the "Play DRM Content" setting solve the issue maybe?

I think I do have GPU acceleration enabled but ill check

[ashen spindle]

do you have an actual issue or do you just see high cpu usage

[wheat plume]

the issue that it makes my entire desktop run at like 15 FPS

[ashen spindle]

High usage is not an issue in its own

[wheat plume]

this is what youtube uses in the isolated window

[vagrant pagoda]

looks like there is too many videos on that page for FF's vp9 hardware decoder to handle

[wheat plume]

yeh

[cedar fog]

YouTube uses av1 now right

isn't that more efficient as well

probably why you see less issues

[wheat plume]

Youtube is incredibly efficient tbh

they also have a shit ton of servers around the world to get the video from the closest one to you

[ashen spindle]

Not everything has is av1 and also not everything can deal with av1 decode still

Also could just be the usual firefox not being able to keep up

[cedar fog]

i mean when I quickly searched it I saw lots of mentions of rdd being a performance hog

[vagrant pagoda]

looks like more than 4 vp9 chokes it

[wheat plume]

lemme guess, Chromium handles it better?

[cedar fog]

probably

id hope the people developing the video formats handle them better

xD

[vagrant pagoda]

slightly

instead of 99% im at 50% on my 5800x3d

[wheat plume]

yeh, I have a much less powerful CPU

and this is a really thin laptop too with little cooling

[cedar fog]

do you have va-api enabled

[vagrant pagoda]

up to 4 videos works with hardware decoding

over that seems to overload and use a ton of cpu

i posted a feedback thread

[wheat plume]

Chrome uses 25% of my CPU when loading this page

and also makes my desktop slightly laggy

[vagrant pagoda]

whoever encoded them is on a m1 MBP, so wonder if that isnt an issue on apple silicon

[vagrant pagoda]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1342187268382920806

[wheat plume]

oh wow

[steady sail]

looks fine

[vagrant pagoda]

what hardware?

[steady sail]

5800x3d 6700 xt 32gb ram

[wheat plume]

you have GPU hardware decoding working
it might not be working for me

[vagrant pagoda]

for mean it works if i block all but 4 videos

after 4 videos it starts cpu decoding

[vagrant pagoda]

youre on the 5.0.0 changelog page?

[steady sail]

can u send me a link for it lol

[vagrant pagoda]

https://wooting.io/wootility/changelogs

[cedar fog]

im getting not even 1%

cpu usage

[vagrant pagoda]

make sure you scroll down so the videos all play

[cedar fog]

i did

[steady sail]

[cedar fog]

it peaks at 30%

[vagrant pagoda]

what gpu?

[cedar fog]

goes back down to below 1% when page isn't moving

2080ti xD

[wheat plume]

mine stays at ~30-60% constantly, lower when page is not scrolling but no lower than 30%

Intel Core i5-1035G1

[cedar fog]

maybe try enabling va-api

if it isn't already

if you can

[wheat plume]

about:config?

[cedar fog]

from what is saw online

type about:config in the address bar.

in the search bar type gfx.webrender.all and set it to true.

in the search bar type media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled and set it to true.

[vagrant pagoda]

im on windows so its doing dx11

[cedar fog]

it might be a bit more effort on linux tbf

in terms of drivers or smthin

[wheat plume]

my laptop fans are jet-engs again

[cedar fog]

xD

no other idea then

[wheat plume]

Chrome handled the page slightly better

but still made the fans go insane

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah 30-50% for a changelog is too much

[cedar fog]

you got a nvidia gpu @wheat plume ?

[wheat plume]

not on the laptop

[cedar fog]

i c

[wheat plume]

this laptop can barely handle 2d games

[cedar fog]

its probably not gonna get better tbh

[wheat plume]

.-. I tried even SuperTux 2 and it lags

[cedar fog]

just struggling with multiple video decodes

[vagrant pagoda]

i have 1080ti sli and it chuggs too

[halcyon moss]

You got to run a trace to figure out what is dealing the issue

[wheat plume]

SuperTux 2 runs on the Steam Deck at the LOWEST TDP and GPU Clocks at 90FPS but lags on this laptop :')

[vagrant pagoda]

its some issue with more than 4 or 5 vp9 videos

[loud hemlock]

all my homies hate firefox

[cedar fog]

i tried it and went back to chrome within two days

[wheat plume]

Nah, firefox best

[cedar fog]

i fucking hated firefox

[vagrant pagoda]

chrome is better, but still isnt doing full hardware decode

[loud hemlock]

chrome is fine here?

[vagrant pagoda]

30-50% to load the page

[cedar fog]

yeah its like a 30% spike but they handle it better when not scrolling

its just preloading technique

[chrome prawn]

Crazy statement tbh

[vagrant pagoda]

mine is 30-50% cpu if i have more than 4 videos visible

[cedar fog]

let me try to zoom out

actually

[vagrant pagoda]

im on 4k 100% scale so i can see loads at once

[cedar fog]

i get around 30% with every video on the site

[vagrant pagoda]

it seems like it just a hardware limit with vp9

they were encoded on a m1, i bet m1 has zero issues with all the videos

[pale sigil]

Is 85 euros good for a i7 10700

[cedar fog]

yes

[pale sigil]

I also also kinda debating this

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375971489929?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=apri9itbtju&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=SCNqL5_SR_q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[vagrant pagoda]

Premade can be good deals but lots of the stuff isn't upgradable

[pale sigil]

Here's my current plan

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/MrPleasant_exe/saved/b2PhK8

Wouldn't mind opinions

[cedar fog]

looks like the prebuilt from ebay would have 2933 MHz ram speeds

[vagrant pagoda]

That PC is 300 not 85

[pale sigil]

I know

Comparing it to the cost of the PC picker list I made

[vagrant pagoda]

The motherboard, PSU and case are not upgradable/ewaste so you're buying a cpu, ram and SSD for that price if you want to make a nas

[halcyon moss]

Purpose?

[cedar fog]

the main issue with the prebuilt is also storage space

[pale sigil]

Nas/server

[vagrant pagoda]

You can't fit more drives in the Dell case even if the motherboard had spare ports

[pale sigil]

Aye I'm aware but there's ways, especially with 3d printing lol

Either way what's your opinion on my build

[cedar fog]

the prebuilt seems on on the higher side espeically if you already bought those other parts tbh

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vagrant pagoda]

No like there aren't any power connectors, sata ports or space.

[pale sigil]

Only the marked purchased

[vagrant pagoda]

They are 12v only stuff so sata power comes from the motherboard

[pale sigil]

So ram/CPU/mobo

[vagrant pagoda]

You'd have to custom make cables

[pale sigil]

Although I have not paid for the CPU yet

[pale sigil]

Fair enough

[vagrant pagoda]

Prebuilts are so custom now it hard to repurpose if you need addins

That has 2 m.2 PCIE and 3 sata ports

You could get 3.5 and 2 2.5 inside the case max

That would use all the Sata, but you'd need a splitter for the 2.5 as the CD drive uses a different power connector

[pale sigil]

On the pre build?

Ye you've convinced me against it

[cedar fog]

tbh like i said earlier

it seems on the higher side for what it is

[pale sigil]

Wdym

[cedar fog]

like price

feel like i've seen people get way better deals on those bulk sale prebuilts off ebay

[pale sigil]

Again I'm confused, are you on about the pre build or mine

[cedar fog]

prebuilt

[halcyon moss]

For that price you can get a synology

[pale sigil]

Ah

[pale sigil]

Im aware but it's just not as good

[gusty kiln]

https://nascompares.com/2025/01/08/minisforum-n5-pro-nas-revealed/

Maybe wait for this

No os, it's a barebones box

[pale sigil]

I've already been waiting since December, my nas died haha

It's been rough

But also that's probably going to cost a fortune

"Jake/LTT said $800USD in his video. He also said second half of the year"

Ye I don't think so

[cedar fog]

do you have a library near you with computers

perhaps one could disappear

[pale sigil]

I mean, that wouldn't really fix the problems ion mentioned.

But buying refurb was my original plan

[gusty kiln]

https://a.co/d/84DeyMW

I bought this and put unraid on it

6 bays, n95

2 nvme

[pale sigil]

No good

But again costs sooo much

[gusty kiln]

What is your budget?

[pale sigil]

[gusty kiln]

https://a.co/d/8bSfTpP

Since you are all ssd

[chrome prawn]

[pale sigil]

@gusty kiln Intel Celeron N5105 it's so weak though

[pale sigil]

[halcyon moss]

The fuck you want to do on a Nas?

You have to consider power use as well, it adds up quick

Top of my head s

But I also wanna be able to host some games whenever I want.

Eg I ran ATM 10 on my desktop last night as a test and it was using 85-64w while world genning.

Unfortunately I didn't have a proper map to test it

[unkempt lake]

Deck verification is a joke

I tried spiderman 2 on the deck it was not playable

Its a pixelated mess that runs at 20fps whenever you hit combat...

Valve is a joke

[ashen spindle]

how is this on valve

deck verified means it runs and uses the right input, display, etc.

means absolutely nothing about performance

[unkempt lake]

They implement the verification criterias

And their criterias are garbage

[ashen spindle]

its a mobile handheld not a 300W console

the reason verified exists is because it runs linux, different resolution and inputs than a pc

[wheat plume]

it does

[unkempt lake]

I don't give a shit lol

[wheat plume]

one of the Verified criteria is that it runs at least 30FPS by default on Deck

[unkempt lake]

It runs like ass it is not a "great" experience

[ashen spindle]

where

[unkempt lake]

Its supposed to have "appropriate default settings"

The default settings for this game are far from appropriate

[wheat plume]

go to any verified game page on Steam and click the details, it says it there

[unkempt lake]

And even lowering then doesn't make it playable

[ashen spindle]

I just posted you the image from the verified page

where does it say 30fps are needed to be verified

[raw zephyr]

it doesnt, quin is right

[raw zephyr]

steam deck verified is mostly for seamless experience

[wheat plume]

nah you need to see the game page

see the last point

[ashen spindle]

where does it say anything about fps in your image

[wheat plume]

Valve once said that "performs well" means 30 or above

[unkempt lake]

Default graphics should perform well

[wheat plume]

Ill try to find that post

[unkempt lake]

I am letting you know that it is not playable at default

I had to lower it even more

And even then it was a mess

[ashen spindle]

the verified program does not have a definition of what performs well means listed anywhere

[unkempt lake]

i don't give a fuck frankly

It should

[wheat plume]

yeah, I see lots of nwer games with this warning

[raw zephyr]

i wouldve never expected for a brand new aaa game to run well on a 10w handheld

[unkempt lake]

It is super fucking misleading to pretend a game runs "great on deck"!

[unkempt lake]

Then label is as "playable"

Not verified

It's super misleading

[raw zephyr]

playable means you have to use the overlay keyboard at some point

[unkempt lake]

Nah i've seen it applied to games that boot but run like crap

[raw zephyr]

or some other quirk similar to this

[unkempt lake]

That never use an overlay or a keeb

[ashen spindle]

again nothing about performance

[unkempt lake]

But spiderman technically needs manual tweaking

To play

I had to do some manual tweaking lol

[wheat plume]

Some games on Steam DO SAY that they are not Verified cause of poor performance

ive seen that a few times

but I forgot what games I saw it on...im trying to find it

[ashen spindle]

needing manual changes for more fps is not the same as needing manual changes to play at all

[unkempt lake]

it actually did crash during the first boss fight until i lowered the settings

[ashen spindle]

yeah but nowhere is there a 30fps or whatever definition

[unkempt lake]

I'd argue that's not playable

[wheat plume]

YEAH SEE TOLD YOU

[ashen spindle]

dear god can you please just fucking read what im saying

[wheat plume]

"Performs well" means 30FPS or above, Valve said that themselves before

[ashen spindle]

WHERE

[wheat plume]

I need to find the post

one sec, I saw it ages ago

[unkempt lake]

I understand that there's no definition of "performs well" @ashen spindle but there absolutely should be one

[ashen spindle]

yes that would be a good reason to not put on verified

[unkempt lake]

It's extremely misleading from valve i think

[ashen spindle]

dont think so, not while we are still in a time where it's much more a question of if it works at all on a linux handheld

maybe as a bonus

[wheat plume]

ok, i cant find the post

[unkempt lake]

It doesn't exist lana

[wheat plume]

it was around the time Deck was first announced

[raw zephyr]

i see steam deck verified more like a “runs at all on linux and doesnt require extra tweaking and we dont care how bad or good it runs” thing

[wheat plume]

yeah basically.... Cyberpunk's "Steam Deck" graphics preset is also hot garbage ;-;

I can get the game to run at constant 30 but not with that preset

[raw zephyr]

god bless everybody who plays on the deck under 60fps

[ashen spindle]

yeah similar to protons rating it's still more important to know if it even works and not how well

[unkempt lake]

Valve is advertising the steam deck as a console

[ashen spindle]

are they though

[wheat plume]

Console-like
not as a console directly

[chrome prawn]

If you are on LAN and have decent pc remote play is goat

[ashen spindle]

idk if thats at a point where I want to add performance as a criterium

[raw zephyr]

remote play is okay, i had better experience with moonlight

[ashen spindle]

heck I dont even think protons platin rating means performance is perfect just that it runs without any tweaks?

[raw zephyr]

i only tried local network though

[raw zephyr]

that is correct, download and run on linux

[pale sigil]

Ye I use this

On my deck

[chrome prawn]

Hmm, personally my remote play been almost flawless with basically no noticable delay. What settings did you run?

[unkempt lake]

I just don't get why yall are shilling for valve's shitty verification

It's crap and should be improved

[marsh glade]

Good morning Dashi, have you had your coffee yet?

hardware decoding was very buggy for me for some reason

[ashen spindle]

because we are at a point in time where we need games to work on linux first before we can worry about them performing insanely well

[unkempt lake]

Same

On both nvidia and amd systems

Super choppy if hw decoding is on

Tbh I hate dark mode on data processing apps

[vagrant pagoda]

also it would be useless for most peple has people set custom colors for everything any dark mode would throw that off

[cosmic thunder]

but seriously what's different between zen and normal kernel

[iron wave]

I looked at the code stats for my game and it's so demoralizing.

[iron wave]

You shouldn't use zen in general, it has a few patches that are handy for niche use cases when you're too lazy to build your own kernel.

It's also potentially a little less stable from what I've heard.

Who wants to hear a bad microwave oven idea?

A little more practical than that.

Do you know how the US electrical system works?

[cosmic thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/lego-denmark-lego-rock-boulder-pish-boulder-push-gif-17891619677485576907

[iron wave]

Lower voltage isn't entirely true, we get 240VAC and it gets split into two 120VAC phases for lower power devices like lights and 240VAC is used for high power things like cars.

My stupid idea is to make a 240VAC microwave with two magnetrons, one on each half of the 240VAC. That way you can have them alternate left and right for a more even cook at the default 100% and you could push it to 200% with both magnetrons going at 100% duty cycle for absolutely nuking things.

Evidently it is a really bad idea.

[vagrant pagoda]

that would be the same as a single magatron lol

just get a quailty microwave

[iron wave]

I don't see how.

[vagrant pagoda]

the food rotates, so two magnatrons wont give you a more even cook

just get a commerial unit that is 2400w

[iron wave]

The microwaves would be coming from different spots.

[vagrant pagoda]

the food rotates, or if its a nice microwave it has a roating wave guide

[iron wave]

The original designs had that and it's a shame they aren't more common.

[vagrant pagoda]

the uneven heating is from uneven distrobution of water

[iron wave]

You'd still be able to get twice the power though.

[vagrant pagoda]

you can get 3kw+ single magnatron microwaves

[iron wave]

🤔

[vagrant pagoda]

Amana has never stopped making microwaves

the commerial high wattage units are generally for steaming, you put a tray of water and it uses the microwave to boil it

https://www.acpsolutions.com/amana-products/specialty-ovens/amso-2200-3500/#features

12 miniutes to cook 10 pounds of potatos is wild

[iron wave]

That's insane.

Though I suppose the commercial ones I've used for work are pretty wild.

[vagrant pagoda]

90% of commerial microwaves are still 1000-1400w

those arent microwaves, they are convection ovens

[iron wave]

McDonald's has both.

[vagrant pagoda]

never seen them use the microwave

but id bet its a normal ~1400w one

are you not in the us?

maybe its a overseas thing

[sonic adder]

over here if you order a schnitzel sub they use them

[iron wave]

I wouldn't be surprised if they use it on the weird desserts.

[vagrant pagoda]

in the states they have the toaster and it has a microwave option but they dont use it

atleast they ahvent hjere

[vagrant pagoda]

foot long cookie goes in the sandwich toaster

[iron wave]

I've never ordered one. I got subway once in 2024.

[vagrant pagoda]

the cookie is the only thing ive gotten at a subway in years

[iron wave]

Yeah Hugh Jackman taught me that one.

I should get some next time I go to Wal-Mart.

It was cool being able to quasi-meet him.

[vagrant pagoda]

but ive never seen a standalone microwave in a subway

but there are used units on google

maybe some stores got them?

the toasters do both

so why have a standalone microwave?

like ive never seen one that didnt have 2 toasters

[iron wave]

Warms without potential to char?

[vagrant pagoda]

the toasters have a ton of toptions for power

[iron wave]

I want a toasted sub now.

[vagrant pagoda]

the microwave is only 1200w

the toaster has a 3600w toaster and a 3600w microwave inside and can run both at once

[iron wave]

Wrong channel.

That's a lot of power.

That's more than it takes me to drive down a road at a constant speed.

[vagrant pagoda]

ive always wnated one, but every time i see one sell used they go for 3 or 4 grand

[iron wave]

Just wait for a Subway to close and take one. /s

I lucked out twice friends with getting the 4090 and the 7900XTX (XTX was thanks to Dashi and moumou though)

[magic minnow]

Tru both helped me decide

[ashen spindle]

Yes still doesn’t matter because if amd decided to lower prices than what they originally had and refund aibs the difference the new msrp would be not known yet and that’s like the first thing people speculated when the ces announcement was pulled

[analog sinew]

and if i pissed ink my wiener would be a pen

i'm a doomer now

i will live in the wilderness of siberia

chewing on tree shrubs

[ashen spindle]

not a full refund but if an aib decided to make a 700 msrp carr and amd lowers it to 650 they would want 50$ payback since the only thing that lowered in cost would have been the original chip

And that’s something that could still be decided upon

We literally had the jebait moment that was dumb but also changed msrp after announcement and partners didn’t knew that either, this wouldn’t even be the first time then

We don’t know what will happen till release though

And we also don’t know how much xfx is charging above msrp for their models

Pricing is like the only thing that can really change before launch for a gpu so it makes little sense to act like it’s set in stone before hand

[analog sinew]

what would a reasonable price be?

[ashen spindle]

Remember 20 series when Jensen changed it just before he went on stage to announce it?

[analog sinew]

600-700€?

[ashen spindle]

No idea because we don’t know how good RT for example is or how easy fsr4 will be to add or what the real powerdraw is

like if we assume it beats the 5070ti in everything they can just put it at 50$ lower and with stock being there the msrp isn’t even that fake, if it’s not fully competing then I’d say 650 should probably be a start and then it’s still a great deal since I still assume the prices won’t be as high as 50 series for a long time

[halcyon moss]

and then there is power use 🙂

[ashen spindle]

It usually depends on what product we’re talking about, cpu side the were pretty good at underselling stuff at first, gpu side it’s been a bigger mess

[rough osprey]

who buying custom 5070ti for 1.5k

[analog sinew]

yes ofc

[magic minnow]

I’ll buy the 5080 pro art

[analog sinew]

can you?

[cosmic thunder]

[lethal shuttle]

i need some tech advice

is there any tech nerds who can assist

[rough patrol]

Just ask your question

No need to gatekeep the question when someone could just know the answer but wont bother telling you to post the question

[lethal shuttle]

alright chill out no need to be all snappy

not that deep

[rain quiver]

I cant have shit

https://tenor.com/view/klasik-clasik-clasic-gif-25398314

[digital cliff]

so where's the question

[rough patrol]

[lethal shuttle]

im considering upgrading my pc i've just upgraded my cpu and i think my gpu is still pretty good so was wondering what suggestiones might there be of what to do next

[lethal shuttle]

comedian

[rough patrol]

What cpu/gpu do you have atm?

[rain quiver]

What are your specs

[digital cliff]

what to do next? enjoy your pc I guess

[rain quiver]

And what resolution/games you on

[lethal shuttle]

i just bought the amd ryzen 7 5700x3d and my gpu is a 4070ti super

[rough patrol]

Oh yeah you‘ll be fine

How much ram? And what speed

[lethal shuttle]

i was thinking maybe ssd but wasnt sure if there is anything more important to do

[lethal shuttle]

3200mhz and 32gb

[rain quiver]

Turn xmp on

[rough patrol]

Yeah storage is good i think

I‘m a storage enjoyer

[rain quiver]

Oh wait nvm ddr4

[lethal shuttle]

yeah i did that the other day never realised it was a setting until i was checking my bios and turned it on

[digital cliff]

so there's nothing to do except play games if it works how you want

[rough patrol]

Yeah honestly all that seems fine

[rain quiver]

If you really wanna spend money then storage and fans ig

Or better peripherals

[rough patrol]

Maybe check your thermals

One of the biggest performance improvements i got back in the day was getting a case that allowed my hardware to breathe

[lethal shuttle]

yeah ok thanks what ssd would be recommended as i only have a 1tb card and its like a pretty shit brand as far as im aware

[rough patrol]

Any nvme ssd from a reputable brand and the amount of storage you want should be fine

[lethal shuttle]

hm i suppose my next question would be how do i know what case to get? cause i assume with a new case i'll need new fans that fit the case

[rough patrol]

Not always

A lot of cases have fans included

And fans have standard sizing so usually you can reuse them

What case do you have

[rain quiver]

What case you got anyway

[lethal shuttle]

uhm tbh i have no idea it was a prebuilt pc so it was whatever case it was buitl in

[rough patrol]

Take a picture of your pc

[lethal shuttle]

i think stormforce tbh

as thats the logo i think is on the case

[rough patrol]

And i can roughly tell if it‘s choking your hardware

[lethal shuttle]

uhm i'll have to do it once im home currently working in the office

[rough patrol]

👍

[lethal shuttle]

but i'll try grab a photo

online and send it in

[rough patrol]

All you need to know is, if the fans look to be obstructed by a solid surface that is bad

If the fans have mesh or similar porous material in front of them instead, it‘s probably fine

[lethal shuttle]

oh then yeah thats probably the xase then

[umbral heron]

Intake fans
For exhaust fans it's better to not leave mesh or similar with them, less dust will accumulate in your PC

[rough patrol]

Here is 2 examples from the same manufacturer (i personally owned/own both of these)

Left has solid front panel and only lets though air through a tiny slit at the bottom (very bad)

Right has completely mesh front and lets air through freely (very good)

[lethal shuttle]

That’s the one cyber power not storm force

So I assume that’s bad

[rough patrol]

Eh the top 2 seem fairly unobstructed from the picture

It‘s probably ok

[lethal shuttle]

upgrading my motherboard does it grant a signifcant difference?

[rough patrol]

No

Honestly for you i would just say storage and keep an eye on thermals

[rain quiver]

When i reached that point i just started spending on looks ngl

[rough patrol]

After that monitor upgrade possible

[rain quiver]

And peripherals

[rough patrol]

Or mouse/keyboard/audio

[lethal shuttle]

hm ok ill do ssd next and then possible monitor was looking at going oled

[rough patrol]

Audio is a big one tbh, once you go to good audio setup you cant go back

[rain quiver]

Just missed out on the best oled deal

Its not outta stock everywhere

[rough patrol]

The other day i was happy i dont have an oled screen

I was fighting a specific monster in monster hunter and it makes your entire screen go completely white for a few seconds at a time, multiple times per hunt

[lethal shuttle]

i think my microphone is good and headphones are good too but yeah i think after ssd maybe monitor as i have had mine for like 3-4 years now

[rough patrol]

[rough patrol]

Sounds reasonable

What headphones do you use?

[rain quiver]

Upgrading my chair defo made the experience better too

And desk

But mine were shitty so

[lethal shuttle]

yeah i upgraded my desk mnk recently and chair i use the naruto style secret labs chair

[rough patrol]

Chair upgrade is honestly slept on way too much

[rain quiver]

Ngl i just use some office shit from sihoo

[rough patrol]

A good (expensive) ergonomic office chair clears

[rain quiver]

Fuck the expensive hyped up brands mane

[rough patrol]

I have a hag sofi mesh

Best purchase of my life

[lethal shuttle]

headphone i use the hyperxcloud alpha

[rough patrol]

We can improve that

[lethal shuttle]

used to use astro a50s but came to realise they are ass

[rain quiver]

Iems made my life better for sure

[rough patrol]

I am not an iem guy

Dont like pushing a piece of rubber so deep in my ear it tickles my brain

[lethal shuttle]

yeah i mean any suggestions ill definetely consider

[rough patrol]

A headset people often recommend is the audeze maxwell

If you already have a separate mic tho, you can get a better dedicated headphone

[rain quiver]

I like not having to feel the weight of a headset, also doesn’t mess with my hair, head/hair dent never happening, my ears go red and itch a little sometimes after long hours so that doesn’t happen either anymore

[rough patrol]

For the same price

[rain quiver]

And my iems were cheap

And also hours later it used to hurt my neck a little

Just annoying overall

[rough patrol]

Let me introduce you to the wonders of open back headphones

[rain quiver]

Doesn’t fix most of what i said

[rough patrol]

No more hot ears after long gaming sesh + they sound better

[umbral heron]

Overall if you care about sound quality it's better to go with over-ears and separate mic, it more ofthen than not can cheaper than headset too

[rough patrol]

Yup

I got the hifiman edition xs on christmas and it is so good

[lethal shuttle]

yeah i have a seperate mic alreeady

so ideally need headphones that just priorities sound

[umbral heron]

Am still waiting until LCD-2s will show up in our local store again
But I found SM58 for 40€ or so in pawn shop

[rough patrol]

[rough patrol]

Do you mind open back headphones? That means they let sound in and out but they usually have nicer sound quality in return (but less bass)

I personally really like them but if you live in a noisy environment or game in a room where people often walk by like a living room then it might not be ideal

I think i found, a rdna4 radeon 9070 non xt + 9950x3d with hacked drivers. Device ID matches the recently leaked geekbench. there are multiple benches with 9950x3d on furmark.
Scores impressive 41-48% higher than 7800 xt
EDIT: (i think it could also be the 9070xt it has same

X · Feb 21, 2025, 1:28 PM

So what are the actual numbers like huh

[umbral heron]

7931 on GL P2160, so around the same as 7900 XT, XTX is around 9000~10000

[primal nymph]

Haha made a gpu sag bracket for my dads 4090 and my 2080ti

The red one is all red now just a old photo

My system is running a 7800x3d I will upgrade gpus it’s just since it’s gonna take a while. I can get 400 fps in cs2 and 1000 in Fortnite so it’s anoth for me

[analog sinew]

hey its me ur brother can u ask dad if ican borrow the 4090

5090 just keeps on giving

[steady sail]

#🐸│memes message this is how i feel

[unkempt lake]

dont worry people will get 30$ vouchers again just like the 3.5gb 970

[umbral heron]

And 2 years later all 100 pieces of 6090 for $3000 each will sell out on day one, rinse and repeat...

[steady sail]

u mean 6000$ ?

[wheat plume]

They want Apple to remove E2E WORLDWIDE not just in the UK

[sharp badger]

Sure it would be nice if the prices would be closer to 4090 but getting a 90 series card will last much longer performance wise than other cards, it is also not needed for most people but having a card 6 years+ is not that much per year, yes it would be less if one would buy a cheaper card

Also THIS is silly prices

There's 25+ gpus available too

[vivid vine]

That is all personal preference tho, I ran a 20 series for 6 years

[sharp badger]

Yes it all depends on ones use case

[vivid vine]

An budget, not everybody wants or has the money to spend on a 90 SKU GPU from Nvidia

[sharp badger]

Yes

[vivid vine]

Crazy part is 90's buyer seem to think there is a big group, when in reality they make up such a small percentages of any generations sales

But they think everybody has a 90 card like them

Idk where that logic came from tho, started happening in 30 series

[sharp badger]

Yeah and everybody goes crazy about info of them

[vivid vine]

Must be new PC users is my guess

[sharp badger]

The warranty of this one is going out this year, do i feel the need to upgrade? sure would always like to but just don't feel the need because it'll run everything i want to run this year at least

[vivid vine]

Card probably wont die for another 5 years

My 2070 was still kicking by the time I got my 4070 Super.. it was waterblocked tho so it never got above 50c

[reef patrol]

As if they were ever protected. The UK government definitely had decryption keys

[vagrant pagoda]

prob just a bad fuse

they have tons of fuses to blow to bin the chips

[nimble arch]

I know and it’s complete horse shit. Also complete shit that Apple will disable the feature for existing users in the future. I hope my government backtrack this request.

[unkempt lake]

Nico still runs my launch day 2080... works like a charm at 1440 just gotta drop some settings to medium/high. not bad for a 7 year old card

OGL benchmarks are quite disappointing, Vulkan ones even more so, I hope that official ones and ones from reviewers will say something more optimistic

[ashen spindle]

geekbench has always been like 20% worse on windows, even still true for zen5

geekbench is very obvious a phone centric metric

[umbral heron]

I meant FurMark one

[ashen spindle]

ah hadnt seen those yet just gb runs earlier today

[unkempt lake]

furrymark

[unkempt lake]

i'm calling it

no price drop

Shitty prices

[ashen spindle]

you can call whatever you want, it could be wrong or right, doesnt change that its not final till its released

[umbral heron]

It's AMD
Price drop within 2 weeks

[unkempt lake]

That doesn't count xd

I'm talking launch prici by

Also uh... in the current market i doubt it

[ashen spindle]

company has a set precedent of doing cringy "jebait" to have lower price than first assumed
for some reason pre announcement rdna4 prices are totally not subject to change now

[fair gull]

shit

the old phone i bought that only released with android 2.2 (which i wanted) is a not for resale development/debugging kit phone with android 2.1

Windows pirated version won’t cause future issues?

And any advice when updating bios Asus motherboard

[umbral heron]

You can use non-activated Windows indefinitely for "evaluation purposes" for non-commercial stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

wtf is a (X)

[sharp badger]

I can run this?

[north wasp]

I have no idea but they keep saying the 9 series releasing in march is gonna beat the 50-series

[umbral heron]

No.

It won't even beat XTX according to all leaks and benchmarks we have now

[north wasp]

on the 9 series?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, 9070XT

[steady sail]

yep

[north wasp]

does it beat a 4070 at least?

[umbral heron]

Should be around 4080, but we still have to wait for official benchmarks

[ashen spindle]

we dont know its probably around a 5070ti is the estimation

just wait a fee for the announcement and then the week after for reviews

you can but do you wanna run it or be in the game (with upgraded gpu)😈

silicon lottery but instead of better OC you can get 10% less performance

[reef patrol]

relatively small amount of cards

So 90% of the cards, cause it was a paper launch?

[chrome prawn]

Siliconm lottery goes in both directions ;)

[reef patrol]

[chrome prawn]

LMAOOO

[ashen spindle]

normally it doesnt xD

this is like buying a 9950x and one core is missing lol

[marsh pewter]

is there any good card this gen?

[ashen spindle]

not from nvidia it seems lol

[chrome prawn]

Intel Arc

Cheap and decent performance

[marsh pewter]

overhead issues

[marsh glade]

Unironically yes

[ashen spindle]

its more expensive than a 4060 and performs about the same or worse

plus overhead

[graceful wedge]

Can u dumb it down a bit?

[marsh glade]

https://tenor.com/view/dark-knight-joker-its-not-about-the-money-its-about-sending-a-message-gif-15254722

also draw more power and has idle power like a 5090 lol

[graceful wedge]

For gaming it doesn’t matter right?

[marsh pewter]

that sounds about right for intel lol

[chrome prawn]

Which one?

[ashen spindle]

b580

[umbral heron]

As long as you don't do commercial stuff you can use non-activated Windows
Just have to deal with watermark, but that's all

[halcyon moss]

Intel cpus have good idle power though

[marsh glade]

There are ways to implement linux isos to address watermark concerns

Just not interested in buying any GPU atm. & i can still run most of what i want

Hey i have a problem with my keyboard after the new update like it just stopped working and no matter how much i replug it nothing helps anyone maybe know a fix?

[chrome prawn]

Can you link me the place where you can get 4060 for less than 250 dollars new

[ashen spindle]

I cant but the fact is b580 msrp in most places is as fake as it was for 50 series

[sharp badger]

https://help.wooting.io/article/90-how-to-restore-reset-my-wooting-one-or-wooting-two-flaretech

[ashen spindle]

I can get multiple 4060 for like 300-315, b580 starts at like 320 aside form the few times the limited edition from intel directly is sold at 299 so same price then

and thats only on one store for the LE

[unkempt lake]

xtx gang

[chrome prawn]

Its not like that in sweden surpisngly

[ashen spindle]

then sweden likely has a supply that is running out of 40 series and prices are rising more

i think my keyboard is stuck in a rgb boot loop it keeps flashing white light ever 2 sec' pls helps

which means arc is an okay option till 5060 is out I guess

[unkempt lake]

just saying it's not like this everywhere

[ashen spindle]

okay and thats not really relevant to what its like over here lol

[chrome prawn]

Ye, none the less, I lowkey suppor the idea of ARC simply because they are not AMD nor Nvidie with the INSANE starting prices at launch. (excluding gpu hoarders)

[sharp badger]

Compared to Finland

[chrome prawn]

With some better drivers there is for sure potentional, ironically, High end AMD CPU imrpoves the perfromance drastically

[ashen spindle]

well yeah they are selling them for a loss essentially, but they are still a giant company so they dont consumers pity if the product is still not worth it

might change for the future but really hard to recommend it to anyone, since that price range likely means you dont have the best cpu either

[chrome prawn]

Depends tbh, run more than 1080p and shit starts to show

[topaz fog]

thinking about getting nas after this whole twitch deleting highlights thing

[nimble arch]

Apparently Facebook are doing a similar thing with some really old content as well

[chrome prawn]

You trusted them to not delete anything in the first place, pretty brave tbh. Never trust any platform to not randomly remove stuffs availbility

[nimble arch]

It's going to be carnage when YouTube finally culls all that legacy content from inactive channels

[topaz fog]

wrong i did not trust them

i trusted them to let me know when i should download my shit, and they did

so fair enough

[chrome prawn]

Oh, thats actually pretty nice of them ngl

[topaz fog]

although 2 months is hilariously little

[marsh glade]

The golden age of on-site compute and storage has arrived

[astral haven]

do you really have more than 24tb of stuff youll eventually need?

[chrome prawn]

I would not have been surprised if they just yeeted shit, but hey, props to them for givign you headsup

[marsh glade]

"Need" is a big word.... yes

[astral haven]

not you

[topaz fog]

ive been streaming for 14 years and ive local recorded everything, just at a lower quality than what i was streaming at, and i'd like to local record in full quality if i can

[marsh glade]

Yes me

All the NAS

[topaz fog]

6+ hour streams can easily rack up to 24 tb in 1080p60

[dense otter]

Thing is i removed my wooting from wootility hoping it would fix it but now its also not detecting my wooting anymore

[topaz fog]

if you do it long enough

[marsh glade]

The link you replied to has instructions on how to fix that

[astral haven]

a single hdd currently can store 280 days of streaming 12 hours a day at double twitch quality

oops missed reply

[chrome prawn]

or run npm install a few times (Its a joke)

[marsh glade]

A single HDD can fail

[chrome prawn]

In all seriousness, full hd footage doesnt take that much space, but if you start to add any type of high definition and qualty footage and raid configuration that storage space required goes up FAST

[dense otter]

I checked device manager and its not picking it up i think

[astral haven]

a backblaze subscription is cheaper than the buying a new hdd every time it goes out of warranty

[marsh glade]

Okay

And solves none of the drawbacks of cloud storage

[astral haven]

backblaze?

[marsh glade]

Yes

[astral haven]

you buy backblaze instead of buying a second local hdd

its not a replacement for a local hdd

its a replacement for buying 2 local hdds

[topaz fog]

i never did say how much storage i wanted in my NAS

:p

[umbral heron]

[marsh glade]

You've completely missed the point Carmonben

[topaz fog]

my bf likes to save every movie he Legally Acquires so he wants more

[chrome prawn]

:D While you at it, go hard 😎

[topaz fog]

than me

[astral haven]

speak for yourself

[chrome prawn]

@astral haven how would you do raid with backblaze?

[nimble arch]

The best thing about the rise/return of local storage will be people releasing how expensive it can get

[umbral heron]

Fuck cloud, fuck subscriptions, I want my data on my hard drives

[nimble arch]

And just how inefficient and/or unreliable certain solutions are

[marsh glade]

Local storage and local computer has drawbacks, I'm not saying it doesn't

I'm saying that there are reasons to prefer it to cloud storage

[nimble arch]

I won't deny that but unless you're buying proper hardware, it's going to be worse IMHO

All those videos about turning your old PC into a router, server or whatever else are incredibly bad ideas

get a libary used

they arent bad

t series?

no idea man

but all mine is used tape and i paid like 10-15 per lto8

[topaz fog]

there was a war?

so buck a tb

[umbral heron]

Wait wait wait hold on just a minute
Did he say Linux Mint?

[marsh glade]

Drama queen vs drama queen?

[trim crane]

not a literal one but yeah there was a bit of a fight lmao

[vagrant pagoda]

look for lto5/6 machines and check if the drive can be upgraded

mine i had to pull the tape drive out of the assmebly they sell, do the same with the damaged lt8, and swap the actual drive

with tapes i paid under 2500

and it holds 24x4

[umbral heron]

Don't use LTO outside of backups, don't do this to yourself

[vagrant pagoda]

for video is fine

[astral haven]

backblaze removes the need for raid
they take care of 2 copies of the data, 1 different media type, and the 1 offsite for you out of the 3 2 1 rule
you dont need to worry about raid or redundancy, although they are only affordable for regular computers, if you make a serious nas, its expensive af

its really really painful

and its only $50 for 12tb when its current gen, and the startup costs of current gen tape libraries are 4 digits

[chrome prawn]

Ah I see

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but you can have a petabyte for under 3-4k

but its not the end all

[astral haven]

you might be able to fit 500tb
not a pb

[spiral island]

Some folks want their data on their hardware on their property. Myself included.

[vagrant pagoda]

24 per cart, 4 carts in the libary at 12tb each

[astral haven]

oh so manually swapping out carts

[vagrant pagoda]

no

it hold 4

i just only have the lefts

no rights XD

[umbral heron]

Cloud storage sucks ass
At least locally I know I can access my data whenever I want

[astral haven]

what unit has 96 bays??

[astral haven]

get a better provider

[vagrant pagoda]

its 100, but you leave one bay per cart empty to hotswap tapes

you can pull out the cart partially and swap the #1 tape

[astral haven]

yea
interesting didnt know you could get one of those under 2k

[vagrant pagoda]

why you cant swap all 4 i have no idea

it was a lto6

i bought a broken hp lt8

and pulled the drive out

and swapped the drive into mine

[astral haven]

so its a project

[vagrant pagoda]

so i have 1 8 and 2 6s

i keep looking for cheap 8s

[latent mural]

for backups I just use my external 60TB portable ssd drive.

[vagrant pagoda]

you can get a 16 tape lib for 4k with tapes, looking at 3k+ just for 16 12tb hard driveds

[astral haven]

which isnt terrible but still itll take years before thats as cheap as cloud

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but it isnt cloud

[astral haven]

latency is similar if not worse

[vagrant pagoda]

but most people dont have multi-gig upload

[astral haven]

sure bnut most people cant generate enough data in a day to saturate their connection

[dense otter]

Yea i dont think my keyboard is being picked up at all and i dont know how to fix this tried it on another pc also not being picked up tried the same cable with different keyboard works just fine

So i dont know whats the problem\

[spiral island]

Upload connection? Here in the US it's very easy for me to rip 1-2 4k blurays and not have enough bandwidth to upload that in a day 😄

[spiral island]

Looking at you, Comcast

[wheat plume]

ooooooooo I just learned PEWDIEPIE switched to Linux !!

[astral haven]

you have slower than 7.4mbps upload?

[analog sinew]

that guys still relevant?

does it have a distro with gamer words?

[cursive summit]

Lana.. last warning #🔌│tech message

Stop reposting

[wheat plume]

aha

[spiral island]

Currently reading around 43Mbps. 4k bluray rip weighs around 65GB. So around 3.2 hours theoretically fully saturating the connection. That also means that nobody in the house gets any bandwidth at all. And that's one disk.

[wheat plume]

Japan has waifus on their RAM I want that

[spiral island]

And that 3.2 hours is very theoretical on our end of things.

[cursive summit]

First time?

Plenty of things have waifus on them nowadays

[astral haven]

eh, set the priority to low and youll be fine

[spiral island]

Negative experiences w/ traffic shaping

Also you're not gonna convince me, I have a setup already 😄

[astral haven]

well thats definetly a skill issue

[spiral island]

Sure, Jan 😉

[cursive summit]

Oh lord that Pewd rig is already pissing me off

Shite liquid cooler, not X3D

[digital cliff]

if they don't have Ram on their RAM I'm gonna be disappointed at the missed opportunity

[wheat plume]

IKR

that needs to happen

[umbral heron]

I have waifu on my SSD

[wheat plume]

ooooooo show!

[spiral island]

That makes it faster

[steady sail]

my cursor is a waifu

[wheat plume]

:P

[umbral heron]

That will be a bit hard, it's behind GPU
But once I disassemble it I'll show a picture

[wheat plume]

ooohh okkkkk

its the lower m.2 xd

[digital cliff]

I'm not a fan of waifus or related art on products but I do want some more fun designs on things

[unkempt lake]

Why do people care about that

He could run templeos for all i care

[umbral heron]

Yup, the one on the top is where the other nvme lives because I cannot be bothered to remove a heatsink from it

[analog sinew]

and husbandos?

[wheat plume]

cause hes got 110 million subscribers and hes a gamer, so hes gonna be able to show to many MANY people that Linux is easy to use and game on now :D

[unkempt lake]

Dude barely uploads anyways lol

[digital cliff]

also not such a fan

[analog sinew]

i see.

[rough osprey]

where is Tak

[unkempt lake]

Also not really his type of content

[marsh pewter]

giant mainstream youtuber switching to linux is genuinely pretty good publicity for linux

[chrome prawn]

I mean now with proton its not even that bad for gasming in general

[wheat plume]

🤔

I can get waifu2x..this laptop would struggle LOL

[leaden kiln]

I'm a huge fan
it's good that there are ones without though, something for everyone

[unkempt lake]

i frankly don't think anyone cares

[marsh pewter]

if even just one person switches to linux because of him I'd say thats pretty good

[analog sinew]

Taken to a maximum security facility for being a goober

[rough osprey]

sounds reasonable

[marsh pewter]

I think you dont care

[umbral heron]

Works for every game I play so...
But for gaming, for the thing you said I use other means

[analog sinew]

had it comin 👮

[digital cliff]

yeah I just wish there were other designs than "black" or "anime"

[unkempt lake]

no one is gonna install linux because "a celebrity uses it uwu@

[digital cliff]

for any given item anywhere

[chrome prawn]

wine?

[unkempt lake]

how about pink

And purple

[astral haven]

you know full well thats not true

[digital cliff]

yes those work but there's none of that stuff

[leaden kiln]

well you can always rgb vomit

[umbral heron]

Nop, Proton and Proton-GE for Lutris stuff

[digital cliff]

noo I don't do lights x)

[unkempt lake]

We should put pipe bombs in some hardware manufacturer's mailbox

that will work

[chrome prawn]

Maybe its time to switch over to linux on my main PC after a few years of stalling

[wheat plume]

I recommend Fedora :D

best combo of reliable and up to date

[umbral heron]

Nooooooo, Fedora lead went a bit insane as of late

[leaden kiln]

I was so annoyed when I got my mobo and it has lights for all the audio ports
specifically got one without rgb features but the ports still light up in rgb

[wheat plume]

insane?

[marsh pewter]

while I disagree, im sure there are plenty of people that were considering linux and waiting for some reason to switch. seeing a big content creator switching to linux could be the thing that finally gets them to switch.

[umbral heron]

Yeah, thee whole Fedora Flatpaks controversy

[digital cliff]

I guess luckily they are on the back so you don't really have to look at them all that much

[wheat plume]

...true

[chrome prawn]

All ive heard of fedore is that the package related stuff is annoying af for OBS devs. 😂

[wheat plume]

I always disable their repo I never saw any point in it

[marsh pewter]

and overall I just think a big youtuber vocally switching to linux is a net positive

[wheat plume]

^

[leaden kiln]

sadly it's on my desk so they light up the wall and part of the inside of the case
electrical tape mod fixes though 🙏

[chrome prawn]

Imma be real, anything windows loses is good at this point

caus windows is fkn autrocsious

or however you spell it

[wheat plume]

fucking atrocious is putting it lightly

[chrome prawn]

Yes

[umbral heron]

Try Bazzite, EndeavourOS or Garuda, anything Fedora-based or Arch-based will be okay
Usually avoid Debian/Ubuntu-based stuff unless you're using it on servers

[marsh pewter]

wait what? I have not heard about this.

[chrome prawn]

Like if someone is on MacOS, im not even hating anymore. Shits better than windows 😂

[leaden kiln]

I like linux but I still switched to windows after a year or so

[wheat plume]

Bazzite is only good if you want a dedicated gaming machine, its not the best to get work done on cause its immutable and also autolaunches into Game Mode

[astral haven]

i couldnt get garuda running 😦

[wheat plume]

if you want that, to use with controller on a sitting room PC then maybe go for it!

[chrome prawn]

Why avoid debian? Is something bad with it?

[digital cliff]

someone needs to learn me what fedora is doing these days and why it's good because truth be told I don't understand what that whole 'atomic' thing even means

[wheat plume]

super out-dated

[leaden kiln]

ancient

[wheat plume]

they are still on Plasma 5.27 when Plasma 6.3 is already out

[umbral heron]

For everyday use most libraries and packages are heavily outdated there, yeah

[wheat plume]

and gnome 45 with 47 is already out

[umbral heron]

Same with Kubuntu and KDE 5

[chrome prawn]

Hmm

[wheat plume]

Kubuntu....hmmm makes sense cause its upgrades every 4 years

[chrome prawn]

Also what happened with PoP OS? that shit rose and dissapered? Rarely hear any of it anymore

[wheat plume]

PopOS is great too if you want an Ubuntu base

[umbral heron]

Still around, but yeah, quite out-dated too

[wheat plume]

Anything Ubuntu / Debian based will be out-dated until their next release cycle

[steady sail]

https://uwuntuos.site BEST

[chrome prawn]

Based

[wheat plume]

nah, nyarch linux

its got AI Waifu Assistant!

[steady sail]

https://nyarchlinux.moe true

[wheat plume]

^

[umbral heron]

Arch is nice, but installation and first steps are quite annoying, and after a week or so kneesocks will randomly appear in your room

[chrome prawn]

Nah in all seriousness if I switch I want it to be easy and no fkn config hassle, some is expected, but not a annoyance you know. So I guess Mint or Fedora?

[leaden kiln]

❄️os
oops that was supposed to be a reply

[wheat plume]

Fedora

[steady sail]

https://tenor.com/view/really-what-squint-chicken-gif-15168180

[wheat plume]

💜 just disable the Fedora Flatpak repo

and just pretend that repo doesnt exist

its pointless anyway...why re-package already existing flatpaks into your own repo?!
