[old marlin]

and it didn't double in previous gens

sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't

[rough osprey]

just use 2 cables

[old marlin]

technically a possibility

[trim crane]

but I have never seen anyone use DP 2.0 ever?

[old marlin]

and?

[trim crane]

going up by small increments isn't really great

[old marlin]

2.0 is included in the 80 variant

1.4 has seen no increase over 1.3

and the new DP is 2.1b

vs 2.1a

[trim crane]

it's bringing a new cable standard

DP80LL

[old marlin]

there also technically is a double wide HDMI

which afaik has not seen any use

[rough osprey]

low latency?

[trim crane]

i wish, no its low loss

[old marlin]

wdym, type B is a specced thing

that isn't just low loss

oh you mean the DP 80 LL

[trim crane]

yeah

[thick solar]

thats hilarious lmao

[crimson wigeon]

Well yeah, why reinvent the wheel

Well.. it is Nintendo so yeah sure

[fair gull]

i think the backlash nintendo got for the proprietary usb-c crap on switch 1 was enough for them to just go with standard parts and stuff this time round

[reef patrol]

That was a bad time for sure.

[pale sigil]

Slowly creeping down to MSRP

[ashen spindle]

Isn’t that basically msrp?

[unkempt lake]

I've seen plenty at msrp here

Or extremelt close

[pale sigil]

Oh ye £569.99

Buy me one

[prisma arrow]

whats this

[old marlin]

Beyerdynamics is getting bought

[gusty kiln]

Stax got bought by chinese and seems to be fine

[sharp badger]

Yeah, Edifier have some decent headphones/tws and i think they also invested into Audeze

[tribal dirge]

I mean, the switch dock is just like any ol usb hub

its not that fancy lol

[trim crane]

proprietary usb-c sounds so funny to me

[fair gull]

yeah well usb-c itself aint a standard besides the physical connector

[trim crane]

what made it proprietary? half the time I forgot about the switch

[fair gull]

it didnt support usb-pd but their own custom charging stuff

normal 5v 1a charging still worked but no fast charging

[rough osprey]

mariocharge?

[fair gull]

oh and if i recall right no usb display port output

the switch 2 being more "standard" is nice to see

[rough osprey]

switch 2 actually supports Labo

[trim crane]

weird

[analog sinew]

the fcking cardboard?

that still exists?

[bright briar]

why not just get cardboard from grocery store instead?

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[reef patrol]

Also how do you NOT support literal cardboard?

All it was, was software and cardboard pushing the joycon buttons.

[umbral heron]

Nintendo® Switch 2™ - now with cardboard support!

[bright briar]

bro take my money. Ima buying the switch 2 right meow

Cardboard Support🤯

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wars-gif-17961981161881970535

[fair gull]

not only that. some labo stuff required the IR sensor in the right joycon. the new switch 2 joycons dont have those anymore

but you can ofc just pair old switch 1 joycons

[umbral heron]

I was looking at gaming stuff at Media Markt today, and some nice lady asked if I want to try playing on Switch 2

[fair gull]

and you said sure when do i bring it back?

[umbral heron]

[rough osprey]

ye

[pale sigil]

Audio over USB 2 is fine right

The Apple dongle

[rough osprey]

yes

audiophiles would even argue its better then 3+

[vagrant pagoda]

usb2 has a ton less noise in most systems

[rough osprey]

i dont think you could hear it tho

[vagrant pagoda]

well more usb full speed

1.0 speeds

12mbit is more than enough for any audio stream

[distant tapir]

How meaningless is it though

Audiophiles will always swear on stupid meaningless things

[inland rover]

I would consider myself a fairly high grade audiophile and I use an apple dongle for probably 75% of my mobile listening, its perfectly fine.

[distant tapir]

As long as it delivers enough power it should sound the same as any other transparent device that isn't doing anything to actively change the sound such as EQ

[old marlin]

Any dac and amp will add some equalizing in the end

Question is if it is audible

[vagrant pagoda]

the dongle is literaly doing everything to change the sound, its the dac

[distant tapir]

Usually not

[distant tapir]

What...

[old marlin]

Eh

[vagrant pagoda]

its is converting digital data to analog audio

it is the opposite of a transparent device

[distant tapir]

That is not what I mean by transparent

I have no idea what you mean by it

[vagrant pagoda]

no on is using a dac that is perfectly linear, so they all get filtering per and post amp, now how well that filtering and amplification is done can make it sound very netural, but its a balance act of cost, size and power useage.

[distant tapir]

Perfectly linear? Depends on what you mean. It's very easy to have a dac and amp that is completely neutral and leaves no sound signature behind

[vagrant pagoda]

the linearity of a DAC only means one thing

[balmy vector]

My using my mobo audio

No noise so im happys

[vagrant pagoda]

and?

i never said there arent good dacs

its never perfect

[distant tapir]

But it's audibly transparent

[vagrant pagoda]

that might be your opinion, but it's factually wrong. its good, but not perfect

[distant tapir]

I said audibly

[vagrant pagoda]

that just means between infrasonic and ultrasonic

[distant tapir]

The only thing that matters is what we hear

[vagrant pagoda]

you are confusing what YOU are hearing and what YOU think, from actual measurements

it may be good for you, but it isnt perfect and can be improved

apple hass improved the dongles once or twice already.

[inland rover]

I've never read messages from someone so absolutely insufferable to have a disagreement with

You will not notice a difference. it is audibly transparent, thats what that means.

[distant tapir]

What can it improve that will be distinguishable in a listening test from the old version? Aside from more power

[inland rover]

A graph and your ears are two different things

[inland rover]

Nothing, this guy is disagreeing just for fun.

[coral girder]

is the aw3425dw good?

ive been looking for an ultrawide oled for a while now and this seems like the cheapest one

[gusty kiln]

It's still using the first gen qd oled panel

So text won't look good

[magic minnow]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3423dw

[lunar elm]

i wouldnt really recommend going for a first gen oled panel

[coral girder]

Isnt the 240hz better than the 175 tho?

[lunar elm]

tbh imo right
id rather go 4k atp

nothing that DLSS4 or FSR4 cant solve

[coral girder]

not in my price range tho

Im spending 800 max

[magic minnow]

I have the DWF version which is the freesync one and I love mine btw

[coral girder]

well ill look into it thanks for the advice

[old marlin]

Wrong monitor

[magic minnow]

Didn’t notice lol

[old marlin]

The AW3425DW seems like a straight upgrade, but to make full use of it I think you need a new nvidia card for the hdmi port on it?

Yea it basically relies on HDMI 2.1 and otherwise has to use DSC

[old marlin]

Wait fr, that is stupid

I have to say text looks fine in like 90+% of cases and VRR flicker is only noticeable to me in certain conditionson my AW3423DW

Would buy again almost 3 years later

[nimble arch]

The refreshed model is the 2nd gen QD-OLED panel

[old marlin]

ah

aren't they a few gens newer by now?

I thought we were at gen 3 already

[ashen spindle]

It’s the same panel as first gen but goes to 240hz now

[old marlin]

ah

so no new subpixel layout or anything

[ashen spindle]

All the same just a nice option because it’s like 800$ and not 1000+

[old marlin]

yea still a good monitor

question is if a woled might be more worth your money

[nimble arch]

Can't say I'm a fan of the dark blue that Alienware are using for this year's models

[rough osprey]

its about usb 2 vs usb 3

[umbral heron]

FiiO peak!
They are adding USB DAC to Echo Mini soon
Holy heck, was it worth the purchase

[wheat plume]

Seems Papirus icons and Gnome have different definition for what color "Teal" is

Teal accent color in Gnome
Teal icons for Papirus

[umbral heron]

uBlock stopped working on YT for exactly 6 minutes

That was some quick list update

[wheat plume]

🤔 Liquid Ass

oh the clear icons make it look worse

[wheat plume]

yeah literally but too clear, can barely see the Control Center outline now

[ashen spindle]

I was waiting to hear the person wanting blur and transparency on everything Linux not want it from apple

[wheat plume]

MacOS Tahoe looks like DeepinOS now :') with the insane corner radius and the large UI elements

[wheat plume]

blur yes, this is too transparent with not enough blur so whatever is behind it is too visible

this legit looks like DeepinOS now :') the app UI

[frozen ingot]

ngl some aspects of the vista aero look was pretty cool

[ashen spindle]

Also I remember everyone wanting it in win7 but then it would be a nice comparison for apple :p

[wheat plume]

MacOS Tahoe vs DeepinOS

[frozen ingot]

yeah the linux copies always has that uncanny offness to them

[umbral heron]

We were young and cringe

[frozen ingot]

like you know what its trying to copy but its not quite it

[umbral heron]

Win 10 > KDE Plasma > Win 11

[wheat plume]

Blur my Shell is neat but I dont use it cause I dont want the tranparent top panel when on the desktop

[balmy vector]

Win 7 though

[umbral heron]

We don't speak of legends

[nimble arch]

Windows Vista

[umbral heron]

That you can speak of

[balmy vector]

XP

[frozen ingot]

I used vista for 2ish years before 7 came along

I actually had a pretty good experience for most part

[wheat plume]

The first laptop I got was windows 7
And I didn't have Internet until like 1 year or so later
So I just spent my time messing around with the OS and what was on it

[umbral heron]

My first ever PC was auntie's an it ran Win 98
My first PC had XP, then I jumped straight to 8, 8.1, later 10, and later I ditched Windows completely
I had enough experience with Vista and 7 though on my auntie's and gramdma's PCs

[frozen ingot]

first PC at home ran win95 but we had an atari st prior to that, then went through 98/98se, xp, vista, 7 then basically straight to 10 because 8 was so terrible

had to use win 3.11 in school until like 1999

[wheat plume]

I've never used 8
But I've used 8.1 on Desktop, tablet and phone
And it's amazing on phone and tablet

The gestures for switching apps and the cool flipping animations when you launched them was super fun

[frozen ingot]

when people threw a hate brigade towards vista I was like you guys forgot about the previous versions awfully quick because xp happened to be pretty decent

[umbral heron]

For the times XP was really good
Nowadays... not so much
Most you can notice how much drivers situation has improved, how most of the stuff is supported OOTB, you just need to install GPU drivers

[frozen ingot]

3.11 was such a dogwater os man holy

95 was such a ludicrous step up we're basically still using it today

its easy to only remember the good times with these OSes yep

but truth was probably rather that you put up with all the bs computers threw at you back in the day because your will to play videogames overcame it

including being almost deafeningly noisy

[wheat plume]

What's the best way to deal with turning off the computer each night?
I have to physically unplug my monitor because of coil whine
So would it be ok to leave the computer on and just locked or on sleep mode?

[frozen ingot]

I don't think people today understand just what an awful racket computers used to make

[wheat plume]

I do xdd
Mostly cause I watch old tech videos xd

[nimble arch]

I just turn mine off

Same for the C2 (although the standby light and instant on stuff is disabled)

[umbral heron]

It's thinking

[wheat plume]

There's a hardware device thingy you can install that artificially adds HDD activity clicking noises to your SSD xd

[halcyon moss]

yes, should be fine.

you should get one of those in between things with a switch for ease

[frozen ingot]

it really needed its own dedicated room with a door not to disturb the rest of the house

[wheat plume]

In between things?

[balmy vector]

Nothing beats playing space pinball when bored

[wheat plume]

I still play it xd
It's on Linux

[frozen ingot]

also when its not thinking

[wheat plume]

Oh
All plugs in this house have switches built in

[balmy vector]

https://tenor.com/view/zerobaseone-zb1-matthew-zb1-matthew-zerobaseone-matthew-gaming-zb1-gif-9286925601557407971

[halcyon moss]

ah yes, UK forgot about that

[frozen ingot]

what I hated the most in the 90s were pc games that ran straight from the CD and didn't let you install to drive

[wheat plume]

Ireland*

[frozen ingot]

becuase then I had to listen to the cd drive going at full centrifuge as well

[umbral heron]

I remember my uncle installed me full version of it, with new tables

[frozen ingot]

and the games were slower and less responsive because it had to read everything from cd in realtime

then daemon tools came along

[wheat plume]

gosh, thats a mega ugly mouse cursor

[halcyon moss]

its that the new osx?

[wheat plume]

Yeh, Tahoe

They killed Launchpad, the shortcut on the Dock just opens the App list in Spotlight

[halcyon moss]

its so new it looks very old again

[wheat plume]

yeah..its a weird sort of that UI design of using depth

It's 2025 and Apple STILL dont use SVG based cursors .-.

Tahoe cursor VS Bibata cursor

[umbral heron]

Neither does Windows, nor GNOME, nor KDE

[halcyon moss]

that other cursor is also quite ugly AF

[wheat plume]

IIRC Adawaita cursor is svg?!

[halcyon moss]

ohyeah... i was going to reinstall my linux..
should i just go for popos 24.04..?

[wheat plume]

Yeah, it is svg, scales perfectly

[umbral heron]

We already had this conversation Lana
They are very high res, but not SVG

[wheat plume]

oohh

[umbral heron]

Or Mint

[wheat plume]

PopOS, Mint or Fedora

Fedora has the added benefit of not needing a clean install when a new version drops

[balmy vector]

Bazzite

[wheat plume]

Bazzite is pretty meh to use as a desktop cause if you wanna install rpm, you need to reboot before you can use it and it boots into gaming mode and you need to log out to return to desktop

Source: I am using it as a desktop with my docked Steam Deck

[balmy vector]

AmongOS clears all distros however

[wheat plume]

RebeccaBlackOS >>> all others

[crimson wigeon]

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that gaming mode default is if you use the deck image, the normal desktop image should not behave like that

[umbral heron]

TIL Lego separators are perfect for removing prints from bed on 3d printer

[wheat plume]

I wish Ubuntu Satanic Edition was still as edgy as it used to be ;-;

it used to have edgy ass wallpaper and metal music preinstalled and all this shit xd but not anymore, its just a boring red and black theme with their logo slapped onto the default ones

[crimson wigeon]

Else what you gonna use, gdm?

[wheat plume]

wait wait, nah, we need to all switch to YiffOS and use the Bulge package manager

(no...that is not made up...its a real thing)

[balmy vector]

I will deny this

Executive order

[wheat plume]

:')

[halcyon moss]

pop os it is

[umbral heron]

Now imagine all those people and furries working in unison at some core projects together... Development would go much quicker...

[wheat plume]

yeah...

I want Linux to get a distro like that, one that everyone builds and focuses on instead of making reskins and shit .-.

[balmy vector]

Only way I’ll be a productive dev is if i can play toontown on the job

[wheat plume]

At least with PopOS, its made by a company that makes and sells their own hardware, so they know how to make it work

[umbral heron]

Though don't try to commit anything to Linux repo or anything remotely close
People there are assholes, holy shit...

[wheat plume]

I have an old ass video on youtube about running that game on Linux Mint LOL

HarmonyOS only for china then?

oo

Also, Google seems to be locking down AOSP

https://tenor.com/view/hisoka-happy-hisoka-vs-gon-hxh-hunter-x-hunter-gif-16556305

[devout raptor]

thoughts?

i was rewatching it earlier today

[analog sinew]

Quite good, the ant arc left me a bit disappointed towards the end. The end was a bit shorter but good. Overall, quite good, and i'll be recommending it

[devout raptor]

chimera ant arc is like the most polarizing arc

[analog sinew]

I have to say i found it very refreshing to have antagonists instead of goofy cartoon villains. Hisoka is the perfect example, hes sometimes the big bad enemy, but sometimes even an ally. He's his own character with own motivations not just a big bad evil punching bag

[analog sinew]

I liked the arc for the most part, i just felt the buildup wasnt executed on

[devout raptor]

the ending was really impactful to me for whatever reason

[analog sinew]

I liked the arc, i liked the komugi bit and all that

but the ant king and 2/3 royal guards just dying was just rly boring

[devout raptor]

it doesnt even have like a full on clear villain except the ants

[analog sinew]

and we didnt get gon or killua fight very much

[analog sinew]

ye and even those have their own motivation

they're sort of a "survival of the fittest ,nature is brutal " thing

[devout raptor]

gon fight is like the one of the coldest rage moments ever

[analog sinew]

the fight is cool yeah

but he spends most of the final showdown away from the action that was a bit sad

[devout raptor]

o yea

the soundtrack is so fantastic its probably my favorite part

[devout raptor]

true that

almost anything by madhouse is so good

[analog sinew]

it was a very good anime and defo one of the best shounens

[devout raptor]

for a shonen it broke the mold for sure

quite dark for children even

[analog sinew]

i also appreciate when characters actually figure things out

and not take 3 episodes to fall for the dumbest shit

to pad runtime

[devout raptor]

thank togashi for being a great writer

[analog sinew]

and the fights too, some of em are over in a few minutes and thats fine

it doesnt need to be several episodes

that was refreshing

[devout raptor]

one piece

[analog sinew]

i'm also watching bleach final season cuz i wanna see the end but i gotta say that last arc is such a slog

its so goddamned boring, everyone spends an hour explaining their extremely complicated op power and the action doesnt even make sense anymore

[devout raptor]

ahh tybw

I have not watched it at all

[analog sinew]

haha i'm invincible haha my power cannot be stopped pretends to die resurrects someone else dies its just 😴

oh sorry

[devout raptor]

no i know how the story ends

ive read the manga

[analog sinew]

i was in the sauce not thinking bout spoilers but ig i didnt spoil anything specific

dont even get me started on yhwach and the almighty

[wheat plume]

Found some EasyEffects EQs but I cant find any for my speakers specifically ;-;

anyone know how to make peaking stop in an EQ like this? thats what this warning icon is alerting about

[verbal tusk]

Hello, I'd like to know the difference between the Wooting 60HE+ and the Wooting Two HE size aside, are there any other differences? PLEASE

i'd like to buy it now but i don't know which one

so what i need buy for competitve like pro gamers ?

for CS2

it said for 60he+ : " <1ms latency "

for the full size it's : " <2ms latency "

it is a big difference for you ?

[ashen spindle]

jsut get whatever size is your preference

the rest is basically the same

[verbal tusk]

ok ok thx

last question , for the V2 what's gonna change ?

ok ok so it's better to wait then

you know when he will open for buy ?

unlucky they don't do the same like wooting 60HE+ V2 IN FULL SIZE that's sad

arg sadddd

thx

[analog sinew]

😔 one day the 187 Fullsize gang will rise again. We have moles in wooting HQ at least

[wheat plume]

11/10 font

LOL even EasyEffects is messed up

I knew Apple wouldnt just freely give away their font like that..its a freaking .dmg file

TIL you can extract .dmg files,

[halcyon moss]

Inb4 they are just zip file

[wheat plume]

I had to use 7z command cause the file manager didnt have the option to extract it on the context menu, but 7z did work flawlessly on it

[thick elk]

For your speakers there is not just one perfect generalized eq. You could look into room eq requires some form of measurement microphone though.
Your room, how it's set up makes a big difference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE0hyo6TzMk
Randomly came onto my feed, love channels like this

[wheat plume]

I really need a monitor arm that doesnt need to clamp onto the back of the desk cause I cant remove the freaking back panel .-.

for what ?

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/gon-freecss-wondering-thinking-gif-13705323

[bright briar]

to put my old iphone storage in it and get android phone

but i also hate google

[wheat plume]

hek yeah :D https://youtu.be/MJDvJSTbie4

[steady sail]

soo why change ?

tbh i would love to get a ipad mini for manga and anime

as i watch more anime when im on the road

[dull hollow]

im waiting for this fall, there should be a new one coming out soon

[steady sail]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/scalpers-list-rog-astral-rtx-5090-dhahab-edition-gpu-for-as-much-as-usd22-900-on-ebay ah yes money

[dull hollow]

kinda late on this
i misread it

[steady sail]

lmao

[bright briar]

i think its more expensive than the normal ipad

[bright briar]

because im tired of apple

[bright briar]

ipad pro no?

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-16847314810084971000

[tribal dirge]

iPadOS 26 is nice too

[bright briar]

isnt that already out?

[dull hollow]

one came out last year

[tribal dirge]

it gets more desktop-like features finally!

[bright briar]

but also apple support is good meanwhile stupid google barely has any depending on your issue

[dull hollow]

the ipad pro m4 came out may 2024

5 should be this fall

assuming it follows the ipad pro cycle

[bright briar]

samsung galaxy phones look really cool and i like the design of them with ai photoshop

[tribal dirge]

I find it interesting that iPad gets the newest Mac silicon lol

even though its lowkey kinda excessive but considering how much they are adding to iPadOS 26 it may actually be put to good use

[steady sail]

Around the same price

• the ipad mini uses the a17 pro chip

Okay the normal ipad’s are cheaper

But I dont need that

[lyric hatch]

great runescape playing device

[crude lintel]

so basically Im searching for a ram kit and like you said that ddr5 is decent now but is there anything I should avoid

7950x3D

thats the lineup I got so far

[dusky nova]

ime they have all been kinda fine

even nanya is fine

[ashen spindle]

if you want to just set expo and be done with it, any 6000 kit is fine it wont matter

[dusky nova]

if you really want to get into ddr5 tuning later on, i would go for the hynix dies

but thats it

if you want to OC manually hynix m die is generally the best at the moment

[crude lintel]

I currently wait for my return to be processed, all this kits are overpriced rn its a joke

[dusky nova]

yeah teamgroup tcreate is the cheapest for that too btw

which is what im running

[crude lintel]

can I check which are hynix m dies

[dusky nova]

you can also apply buildzoid's hynix ddr5 timings to them and theres a 80% chance it will work

[ashen spindle]

what are you going to use the pc even for, because ram on a vcache cpu makes almost no difference even untuned

[dusky nova]

search engine, i already did mention tcreate being an ideal option though

[crude lintel]

I just was pretty unlucky I set for Cl28 600Mhz 64gig neo whire rgb but look at that

[ashen spindle]

like there is no need for cl28 over cl30 for example, that will make no difference if you just set expo and play games

[dusky nova]

cl is also just a highly irrelevant metric overall

[crude lintel]

hmm yeah they could be a option but I think I want rgb

[dusky nova]

lower tras ftw

[crude lintel]

yeah I tought 96gb is maybe the better deal but the only time I max out 64gb is when I render chunks in a custom modpack

[crude lintel]

its the last metric ?

[dusky nova]

enthusiast ram tuning stuff you kinda dont have to care

[ashen spindle]

if you want rgb at 96gb this seems to be the cheapest 6000 kit https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/FmTZxr/kingston-fury-renegade-rgb-96-gb-2-x-48-gb-ddr5-6000-cl32-memory-kf560c32rsak2-96

[crude lintel]

yeah I need a balance between performance and look, I have no limit, I just dont want to buy very overpriced stuff

I have a white build so they would look pretty out of place

they are a good deal tho

[ashen spindle]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/XQMMnQ/patriot-viper-elite-5-rgb-96-gb-2-x-48-gb-ddr5-6000-cl42-memory-pver596g60c42kw these then

[dusky nova]

compromise: compensate for kit without rgb with rgb ram fan

= epic w

[crude lintel]

I was set on the corsair ones because you can replace the leds with those fins put they really overpriced

[crude lintel]

I mean its nano secs put isnt 42 really high ?

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt really matter, on vcache cpus you dont hit ram as hard anyway

if you want you could still manually get it lowered

but most cases thats not going to change fps anyway

[crude lintel]

yeah you right but i had CL30 6000MHz before

[ashen spindle]

well you can get that if you pay more but I still dont know what you use the pc for so it might make 0 difference

[crude lintel]

I just play various of games(mostly mp pvp fps) I dont use custom OS or any crazy tweaks put I also try to not bloat it full of different softwares

I read every 64gb Cl30 6000MHz kit is hynix actually

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter what it is if you dont manually OC it

[crude lintel]

I kinda wanna do it

for fun or when Im bored

but if my ram controller is shit its over or no

[ashen spindle]

ram controller mostly limits speeds teh timings can get improved quite a bit

but depends on how many hours you want to run stress tests afterwards to make sure its actually stable

[crude lintel]

I have time

[ashen spindle]

no I mean it takes hours of validating and you cant really run the pc at the same time

[crude lintel]

Ive read that 2x24gb are better for that because they are "single row"

[ashen spindle]

higher capacity in general is harder to run at higher speeds yes

[crude lintel]

yeah its like a loot pool where it checks every possible option to tighten it and find the most optimal one right

[ashen spindle]

no you change somethign then you run hours of stresstest to check if its stable

[crude lintel]

problably good3-10hrs right

[crude lintel]

ah okay that also makes sense

[dusky nova]

i think you should just run jedec and not care further

[ashen spindle]

yeah you will spend hours on it and it wont change fps in games at all

if you want to OC just to OC sure but just be aware of that

[dusky nova]

practical ram tuning died with ddr4

ddr5 is just heckin epic now

[crude lintel]

yeah I also like to do stuff like this

[ashen spindle]

but honestly you would just see more out of doing gpu or cpu tuning if you want that

that will get you more changes and is easier to stresstest

[crude lintel]

yeah but im pretty limited with a 7950x3d right

[ashen spindle]

idk depends on what you want to do

[crude lintel]

I would pick those but yeah out of stock

[crude lintel]

wydm

[ashen spindle]

but if you want to OC and get benchmarks running with it I'd say join some OC discord like hwbot and let people tell you what ram sticks are better for OC

[crude lintel]

hmm yeah you right, you run something specific ?

[ashen spindle]

yeah stock jedec because I like stable games and not crashing

[crude lintel]

what jedec means

[ashen spindle]

base speeds and not XMP etc.

[crude lintel]

yeah even not that

so 4800MHz

[ashen spindle]

5200 for me

[dusky nova]

this is the way

[ashen spindle]

because it doesnt make much of a difference and I rather play 8 hours with 170 fps than spend 16 hours to have 172

[dusky nova]

frametime stability > hitting more peak fps

[crude lintel]

yeah you right, I think I just pick some of the kits

if the prices go down

like idk if there is something happeing here secretly, but only one shop has nearly all the white rgb 64gb 6000MHz in stock so he makes the prices

like 80 Euros more for no reason

[thick elk]

Personally run my 64gb set at 6200, not the best timings, still it seems rather stable, and enjoyed the process

Even if the 7800x3d does not benefit from it much

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an_mxOmtMOg
Nostalgia 😄

Obligatory? frogpost

[analog sinew]

can we go back to this

[rough osprey]

no.

[frozen ingot]

https://thandor.net/data/object/64/1546.jpg

[plush stirrup]

isn't XMP supposed to be stable?

[ashen spindle]

nope it just means its tested to work

but cpus are always only specced for jedec compliance as guarantee

[umbral heron]

Enable XMP and run MemTest if you want to be sure, but in 99% cases it will be stable

[plush stirrup]

How to achieve this 5600 without XMP, in my case?

[ashen spindle]

get a ram stick thats rated for jedec 5600

[plush stirrup]

I guess this is 5600 JEDEC?

[ashen spindle]

no idea on top of my head what the jedec timings are

[plush stirrup]

I found this, so I'd guess so

[ashen spindle]

https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/news/hardware/arbeitsspeicher/63452-nun-bis-8-800-mt-s-die-jedec-erweitert-den-ddr5-standard-um-zwei-stufen.html that has a table

[plush stirrup]

kinda wanna see my old RAM because that defaulted to 4400 or 4200 not sure anymore 🥲

[ashen spindle]

since most kits advertise expo/xmp or other OC speeds its often not shown what jedec timings the modules run at in many product pages

[plush stirrup]

4000?

[ashen spindle]

guess so

[umbral heron]

Why would you go such lengths to get JEDEC 5600 though?
XMP/EXPO is good

[ashen spindle]

because if you want guaranteed stability you dont run any OC

[plush stirrup]

I'm running XMP 5600 on 5600 JEDEC RAM apparently

[ashen spindle]

if you get unlucky the timings work for a decade until one game suddenly doesnt

[umbral heron]

That's for server os something that you need guaranteed stability?

[ashen spindle]

in my case 6000 was fine for anything but I got sometimes crashes in deadlock and only that game

[plush stirrup]

My CPU won't reach a decade anyways 😄

[ashen spindle]

it can also lead to false positives like driver crashes being shown as a reason

[plush stirrup]

I get like bios updates every few months, which always breaks something, my old RAM used to default to 4800, after bios update it was 4200, I still have one bios update I haven't done yet 😛

[ashen spindle]

its the sort of thing you might never have an issue with on average

[plush stirrup]

x)

[ashen spindle]

but for me it doesnt really change performance since my 4090 most of the time limits it lol

[plush stirrup]

I've never really had driver crashes, except a broken GPU that kept complaining, so I've been spared from that for now

[ashen spindle]

idk what even caused the issues with deadlock but disabling xmp fixed it so I just kept it

[plush stirrup]

could just be one specific game pushing your hardware over the limits, as was the case for my GPU

could max my 7900XTX out all night if I wanted to in other games, or benchmarks, but start cs2 and play it for a few hours, was almost guaranteed to driver crash 😄

[wheat plume]

wish this progress bar was default in Gnome shell, its handy to have

[halcyon moss]

Do you look at the notification pull down? I never do

[wheat plume]

yes

[somber coral]

wtf

1080ti +7800x3d

[steady sail]

i mean its a good card

[somber coral]

Not good enough for a 7800x3d🙏

[steady sail]

i mean

[umbral heron]

I mean good CS PC

[balmy vector]

if it works it works

[somber coral]

Yea lemme run my 3570 with my 5080

[ashen spindle]

yes can totally work fine depending on game

[steady sail]

i mean i wanted to get a 1080 ti when i wanted to switch from my old 1070, but i went with the 6700 xt instead

[unkempt lake]

Nowadays not really

no dx12u limits it

[steady sail]

i mean for esport games its more than enough

[unkempt lake]

If your goal is to play the latest titles its not great

[umbral heron]

Who'd want to play latest games on it
But it's still a good mid-ranger

[balmy vector]

me playing rhythm games on a 4080

[unkempt lake]

The 2080 is basically the same but with dx12u and rt cores and can play the latest games fine

[balmy vector]

just bare minimum

[unkempt lake]

Like the 1080 ti is still good the problem is if you happen to idk want to play the latest doom or alan wake 2 or final fantasy 7 rebirth or indiana jones or whatever the fuck new game releases

You're locking yourself in to old titles

[somber coral]

Most esports games are cpu dependent right?

[dusky nova]

1080ti is also heckin overrated nowadays

1660 super mogs it at half the energy sippin

[unkempt lake]

Also the lack of driver optimisations really shows

[dusky nova]

moreso just old arch imo

but yeah i see no reason to still get a 1080ti when the 1660 super literally exists

[dusky nova]

also ff7r isnt that demanding tbh

[unkempt lake]

The 1080 ti can't boot it, no mesh shader support

[dusky nova]

surprisingly well optimized, i had stable 120fps in fights on a 6600

OH ROFL

[unkempt lake]

Hence why i was saying it may still be good but you're locking yourself into older titles

[dusky nova]

ya i thought it was a performance thing mb

[unkempt lake]

Unless devs bother to have a fallback solution

It's just devs are stating not to bother making fallback solutions for cards this old so yeah

Even if its still got brunt

It doesn't matter if you cant boot the game

[dusky nova]

devs will definitely care less moving forward too, somewhat rightfully tbh

[steady sail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX8x9L6l7n0 i mean it still can play some games on 1080p

it is a 2 week old video

[magic minnow]

It’s dated now technology has advanced so much since then

[sharp badger]

https://youtu.be/Qhj3C1H5JWo Started listening to this, read some article about this https://starfishneuroscience.com/ which took me to that video

https://www.theverge.com/news/673938/gabe-newell-valve-founder-brain-computer-interface-first-chip-starfish It was this article

[analog sinew]

not anymore

i mean it can still do fine but its outdated atp

[steady sail]

i mean with a 1080 ti i dont think that the guy wanna play 2025 triple a games xd

[analog sinew]

yeah but a 7800x3d is pretty beeffy

[steady sail]

i mean for comp games its fine

[ashen spindle]

country, budget

[unkempt lake]

Play on a high with ultra textures the game will look the same

[wary cipher]

5090!

[steady sail]

i was able to run RDR2 at 80-90 fps with my 6700 xt on 1440p at high settings overall and maxed out textrures

but ur cpu is overall too powerful for that gpu

[ashen spindle]

idk if you can really get a decent upgrade for that money

[steady sail]

https://www.inet.se/produkt/5415381/inno3d-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16gb-twin-x2

[ashen spindle]

yeah 5060ti is like 20% better

[steady sail]

https://www.inet.se/produkt/5415487/sapphire-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16gb-pure or this

it can easily xd

i had like 300fps with my 6700xt on 1440p balanced settings

https://www.inet.se/produkt/5415502/gigabyte-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16gb-gaming-oc

[dull hollow]

links white

i saw that takko

[steady sail]

yeah i didnt copied

[ashen spindle]

I would not bother getting a 9060 if thats all you can afford tbh

its really not much of an ugprade

would mean instead of like 60 you get 70 fps in rdr2

[dull hollow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEkzl2f8iRk

follows what quin said, not too big on a performance bump

[steady sail]

tbh just get a 6800 xt

even the 6700 xt can

[dull hollow]

r6 was updated to siege x

[steady sail]

i didnt get any fps drops

[dull hollow]

i heard its a mess

but i dont play so what do i know

[ashen spindle]

if you cant spend more I would say either look for a good used deal if you cant wait or wait to be able to spend more

because it rarely makes sense buying a new card for like +15% performance

just ends up causing another upgrade in short time later then

idk check what it sells for on local sites, idk if ebay or something else is popular there

[steady sail]

i would say u can sell it for 2000 sek

little bit less but yeah around 2000 sek

[pale sigil]

I'll buy for 5sek

[steady sail]

u need almost 10 000 sek

for a gpu that is would worth it

[ashen spindle]

what are prices for 9070

[dull hollow]

see if you can find an msrp 9070 or xt

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-gif-13575853101874488635

[steady sail]

the cheapest is 7800 sek

[ashen spindle]

9070 (non XT) is probably the first that would make sense to ugprade to so it lasts a while

but idk what prices look like in sweden how fucked up they are or not

well I mean for the 9070 specifically, idk what good sites are so I cant look for you

[steady sail]

u dont need a 5090 xd

[ashen spindle]

because 9070 should be like 6500sek

[ashen spindle]

ooof thats quite a bit higher

[dull hollow]

just convert the gold asus 5090 to sek

[ashen spindle]

idk I dont really track how swedish prices move xD

well no because here I can get it for what turns out to be around 6300sek xD

[steady sail]

i just sent a picture on prices for 9070

this is what i get on a non-xt 9070

[ashen spindle]

oh prices are up a bit again https://www.alternate.de/XFX/Radeon-RX-9070-Quicksilver-OC-Grafikkarte/html/product/100117828?partner=DeGeizhals&campaign=Grafikkarte/XFX/100117828

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-patrick-bateman-american-psycho-gif-7212093

[distant tapir]

It's ovah

I'm going for this one

Not a too terrible price all things considered

[steady sail]

i got my 9070 non-xt for 740 euro

[dull hollow]

that is uh.. quite expensive for a 5070ti

nevermind i keep forgetting that a xx70 ti card is now like 1k usd

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[steady sail]

and i was at 1440p

imo x3d cpu carying me

[distant tapir]

Does it still sound terrible if I say that 10 290 NOK is 6 710 DKK?

[steady sail]

i do have a 5800x3d tho

and ur CPU is much newer and more powerful

L3 cache carrying me

the 6700 xt is worse than my gpu atm

u have a CPU overhead issue

[wheat plume]

Bruh wtf is this shit, YouTube ???

CachyOS
I hear good things about that but who knows

[steady sail]

and it has AI voice dub

[wheat plume]

:') yeh wtf

[steady sail]

i tried watch one AI dubbed video but after 10 seconds i just turned it off

[wheat plume]

I just don't understand wtf is the AI generated thumbnail with some woman in cosplay

[ashen spindle]

hm lets think for a second, video about a game, with what seems like a game screen and the person looks like the game character hmm wonder who that would supposed to be

[steady sail]

tbh Stellar Blade is a very fun game

[wheat plume]

It's on my wishlist

But idk how well the deck can handle it so I got to wait

[steady sail]

idk if u can do that

[unkempt lake]

Theres a demo

Play the demo

Aee for yourself

Gooner

[steady sail]

best goon game

[sudden imp]

why goon

[unkempt lake]

cuz dude cant control his weiner

Fucking weeb

[bright briar]

look up her outfits and you'll see why

[steady sail]

backward compatibility maybe gonna be an issue

[steady sail]

eto

[ashen spindle]

yes your board will work with 7800x3d/9800x3d if you run a 9600x atm

but check benchmarks on youtube first if it actually makes a big difference on siege

idk about since the siege x update if any of the old tests are still valid

well it is better yes but by a lot or not a lot

[unkempt lake]

My brother workd on siege x

[balmy vector]

im sorry for your brother

couldve been working on clair

[unkempt lake]

[pale sigil]

7800x3d

(minus VAT but I've never been hit with vat on Ali)

Even if I'm hit with imports that's so fucking good

£216 Vs £350

[sudden imp]

Okay honestly is stuff in Europe absurdly expensive or is it like no different than the US. I understand prices fluctuate of course.

[pale sigil]

With imports

[somber coral]

Wait I want these prices :(

[thick elk]

Would definitely check review om those but still not bad at all.

[pale sigil]

900+ sold 4.9 star

[thick elk]

Just know fakes exist, but fair, also the store rep matters a lot

[pale sigil]

There's 1 single star review and it's confusing

[distant tapir]

It generally is more xpensive due to more taxes

[thick elk]

Not the best but could be worse, most complaints seem nonsense at least

[pale sigil]

Don't think I'll do it

I just got excited

I don't really wanna buy a mobo + ram for it

[thick elk]

Got you, while I do have a spare am5 mobo, plan to use it if I ever do an in socket upgrade, but that depends if a worthwile one comes available. Besides aranging something around the uk, maybe not the best.

[pale sigil]

How do you have a spare AM5 mobo lol

[somber coral]

I got a spare lga 1700 mobo from upgrading

[unkempt lake]

buying a 7800x3d when all you have is a 3080 is stupid callum

dont do it

All you'll feel is disapointed

[pale sigil]

Fine

[unkempt lake]

Your gpu cant fucking push that many frames anyways

[pale sigil]

I'll get a 9800x3d instead

[unkempt lake]

Its a waste

[unkempt lake]

No

Buy a gpu

If you want an improvement

[pale sigil]

I decided I'm not buying it

XD

[unkempt lake]

good

dont waste your money on crap you cant use yet

[pale sigil]

But im also not buying a GPU

I'll probably just do what I did last time, save up and start a whole new build next year.

[unkempt lake]

ok then

Keep what you have

[pale sigil]

Minus PSU and storage

[unkempt lake]

You paid like 1500$ for a 3080

Gotta make it last for 1500$'s worth

🤣

[pale sigil]

I told you, even after an entire year it wasn't much cheaper than what I paid for it here

Even after two years it didn't reach MSRP pricing

3070 was barely any cheaper either

[thick elk]

Got to review one, kept my old b650 livemixer as a spare

[pale sigil]

Ah lol

[unkempt lake]

@modern wigeon please confirm

[pale sigil]

And btw

Was lucky to get my 3080....

[thick elk]

As for noticing, depends on the games you play, I would say only if you play cpu-bound games where it becomes a problem.

[pale sigil]

They were just impossible to buy

I even tried to buy a 3070 at one point to sell my 3080 as I was getting offers for over $1900 cad

It was insane here.... Pro tip, don't list your 3080 for how much you paid and your number, I got 30 messages in like 20 minutes.

Even in 2022

[lunar elm]

saying how much u paid is simply a stupid decision

its a leverage for them

The absolute copium of this guy https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/laptops/windows-10-is-dead-heres-why-it-makes-sense-to-buy-a-snapdragon-x-pc

Snapdragon X laptops have some software limitations
Mate, even Linux has more working software than this, not even saying nothing about macOS

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah but you won't have a very pleasant Linux experience on those machines

[umbral heron]

But like... Why buy Snapdragon laptop, when you can have way more powerful and useful MacBook?
I could see potential here if software available was like on Windows x86, but it's way worse

[ashen spindle]

So that you can upgrade to a x86 laptop next time and it feels like everything is so much better

[balmy vector]

Buyers remorse weaponized

[crimson wigeon]

But ARM is ze future!

[vagrant pagoda]

Linux on a M Macbook is 10 times better than windows on a snapdragon

And windows with parallels on a MacBook is still better than windows on snapdragon

Parallels and crossover are both superior to Microsofts shitty x86 support on arm

And the GPU translation on M* is in a different league than windows on snapdragon

[halcyon moss]

x to doubt

last time i read they dont have external displays

[old marlin]

last time i read they had better external displays than macos

but also, any current macbook is like double the price of a snapdragon x machine

so how much can you even compare the two

[reef patrol]

Anyone wise in the ways of singleboard power (Raspberry Pi etc..)
Looking to buy a Raspberry Pi 5, and I need a power supply that provides Molex (Barrel plug adaptor for an LCD) as well as the power for the Pi.

I see lots of DIY solutions, but I don't need a super custom board, just a box with two outputs, I can ziptie inside of my Case. (Though if it used a PC wall cable that'd be a big bonus)

[old marlin]

I assume you need the 12V part of molex?

it might be easier to use a dual USB-C PSU and use a cable that goes from USB-C to the barrel plug at 12V

[reef patrol]

This is what I have now. Which works to power the LCD controller board.

But since I'm moving from ITX to RPI, I no longer need an actual PC PSU 😄

[old marlin]

yea so 12V, not the 5V side

[reef patrol]

Yep

[old marlin]

you could measure the dimensions of that barrel plug

[reef patrol]

https://www.amazon.com/2-Pack-JacobsParts-Type-C-Trigger-Connector/dp/B08NRM6X2Y
So a two port USB charger and something like this would work?

[old marlin]

would be my approach

just have to make sure it is an up to date USB charger

[reef patrol]

Makes sense. KISS approach.

[old marlin]

that supports a 12V channel

[reef patrol]

Is that something I can search for? 😄

[old marlin]

any of the modern PD ones should do

that support a higher wattage

[reef patrol]

Cause if I search for "usb charger 12v" it thinks I'm in a car 😄

[old marlin]

if you find one that looks like it could suit your usecase you can then check the specs of it

they should all do it

yea the cable you sent works with QC and PD so that should cover anything

and I doubt the display is 60W

[reef patrol]

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/UGREEN-Charger-3-Port-Compatible-MacBook-White/dp/B09P647HJP

This seems to do the trick.

Now to find a wall plug to PC PSU plug adaptor, so I can do a back panel connector 😄

All I know about the LCD board is that it's 12v 1.5a

[old marlin]

I'd prob custom make that one?

just buy a panel mount plug and an extension cable and hack the two together?

[old marlin]

yea so 18W

This should work I assume? Plug looks similar. Round barrel with one metal leg on either side.

Other cable didn't ship here 😄

[old marlin]

those are 5V

[reef patrol]

Oh. Images misleading I guess.

[old marlin]

the handshake for the voltage happens between USB and barrel plug

[vagrant pagoda]

Surface 13 is 1500

[old marlin]

which is just about the most expensive one of them

[reef patrol]

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0FCSQCHNH
Hmm... this one?

[vagrant pagoda]

And it's the only one with a build quality lol

[old marlin]

might work, but measure the barrel plug before buying

[reef patrol]

Oh wait. I need a male anyway. Gotta buy a cable 😄

[vagrant pagoda]

But still m4 is way faster so even at the same price its a upgrade to the mb

And an air 13 is 1k starting

[reef patrol]

Not sure how to measure that tbh. My caliper says 5.5mm on the outer barrel.

[vagrant pagoda]

Calipers?

[old marlin]

good frame of reference at least

[reef patrol]

Inside is... maybe 2.4? It's kind of too big for such a small plug, so I guess logic dictates it's the 2.5mm not 2.1? 😄

standard 5.5 by 2.1
Huh... guess it's 2.1mm afterall according to the old Ali page for the LCD

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/NPXUAMTJ-Converter-Trigger-Charging-Speaker-15-V/dp/B0DLGFTQBH
Alright. So... this should work?
USBC to DC5.5x2.1mm connector in the 12V version? 😄

Here goes nothing. I can always return it if it doesn't work I guess.

[gusty kiln]

@ashen spindle @fickle ore damn what's going on with AMD today?

[ashen spindle]

Dunno good market and I guess that triggers some people’s buy points

[marsh glade]

Liquidity, always liquidity

[ashen spindle]

Maybe someone did the math in the follow up of their announcement for instinct and noticed what it could do

[reef patrol]

RPI5 ordered
HDMI cable ordered
LCD adaptor cable ordered
USB C PD charger ordered

Now I just need to...
Print the two LCD brackets, measure the difference and print them again (fun)
Figure out how to do the case backpanel (longterm)
Clean and convert my keyboard to USB

Might actually have a functional Macintosh by end of Summer.

[gusty kiln]

Enjoying it now until a full blown isreal-iran war

[gusty kiln]

Oh yeah what do you think of the AI day, didn't get your opinion

[ashen spindle]

Well I knew many of the things so much if it was more confirmation than anything xD

The small diga at Intel were funny, with our roadmap works and we have working gpus on top of cpus xD

They did address a lot of good things, amd dev cloud was a big one

The big thing is that with mi400 they are trying to leapfrog nvidia next year

Because the scale out options are so much bigger than nvlink still is so for massive deployments they could have racks that scale much better on top of at least equal hardware

Basically if anyone like the US or UAE want some super massive pc farm they would have a bigger solution that nvidia has but who knows what political talk happens from Jensen and Lisa to convince people one way or another

[fickle ore]

im out of market, spent it all on booze and women

joking! NICE AMD 🙂

My uranium picks are 8%, AMD 8 %, NEBIUS 8%, HIMS 9 %, even INTC 4%

[vagrant pagoda]

teh scale out is the same, the memory per rack is 50% higher

amd is just making the gpus physcially larger, and thus for the same gpu per rack count the racks are double wide

the maxium scale out and bandwidth between racks is the same as nvidia

AMD is leveraging Xilinx to move from fixed hardware acceration to fpga to catch up with the hardware the nvidia bought mellanox for

[ashen spindle]

No they have double the gpu as maximum with UAlink vs nvlink5

[vagrant pagoda]

its 1024 on paper vs nvidia shipping 576 pods

[ashen spindle]

Yea I’m saying they are trying to leapfrog with mi400 not with mi350

[vagrant pagoda]

but nvidia has annouced next gen is 1152 per pod

which is when mi400 is releasing

[ashen spindle]

I only find the nvlink 576 for Rubin

[vagrant pagoda]

576 is blackwell

[ashen spindle]

Blackwell is 72

[vagrant pagoda]

72 per rack, 576 per pod

rubin is doubling the per rack, with the same number of racks per pod

144 per rack, 8 racks per pod

UAlink is currently 1024 gpus maxium

so for now mi400 will have more gpus than blackwell, but less than rubin

[ashen spindle]

Mhhh phone is annoying to look up things maybe I’m thinking of something else

But could still be leapfrogging if they launch first xD

Even if just for a short time then

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah that i agreee

if they launch q1,q2 then they leapfrog

[ashen spindle]

Q3 or even 4 would work too depending on how much Rubin gets the Blackwell delay xD

[vagrant pagoda]

who knows

none of it is good for gaming

[ashen spindle]

Oh I’m not talking about desktop Blackwell xD

[vagrant pagoda]

i know

im just saying, dosent matter if amd or nvidia is on top of ai

its all bad news for gamers

[ashen spindle]

Ehh could be either way, means less focus from nvidia but also amd has more options

If we get the big GPUs that amd plans and then scraps because they can finally afford doing it and make it work due to instinct chiplet experience I’d take that

[vagrant pagoda]

but more ai means cost go up

[ashen spindle]

Ehh mixed back, it also means more research so prices come down faster for some things or there is more volume

[gusty kiln]

@ashen spindle @fickle ore based on rumours but it seems like today's action is because of AWS deal. Insider trading at it's finest

[ashen spindle]

lol could be I suppose

Details on what what sort of deal?

[gusty kiln]

kinda surprising cuz they would have announce it during the AI day

[ashen spindle]

Well depends if it’s instinct or cpu deployment and if aws wanted to already announce it

[gusty kiln]

not much tbh all from this short post

https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955190/amd-stock-is-soaring-monday-whats-going-on

[ashen spindle]

Ah yeah that’s what I mean, those rack scaling improvements is what will get them deals and not just the gpu alone

[gusty kiln]

scale out, lets gooooo

[fickle ore]

also adobe/dell (I forgot) gonna buy a lot of new amd gpus

was on news over the weekend iirc

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/oracle-to-deploy-cluster-of-more-than-130000-amd-mi355x-gpus/

this

[ashen spindle]

huh I saw OCI but didnt think someone already bought that massive instance

[fickle ore]

Even at hefty discount that is massive

[analog sinew]

it is crazy what kind of money the suits are blowing on this

[ashen spindle]

at least its not AI hardware only so even after a crash that hardware could be used for academia or similar

also dont forget amd has had real talks with people that were looking at 10x that scale https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amd-talks-12-million-gpu-ai-supercomputer-to-compete-with-nvidia-30x-more-gpus-than-worlds-fastest-supercomputer

[fair gull]

price doesnt matter all too much if the perf checks out to those cloud providers and super computers

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean its not even 1/2 of the yearly profit of oracle

[inner zinc]

So my power just went out will my pc be ok?

It’s off

[sudden imp]

Most likely yeah, is it connected to power stripe/ surge protector?

[inner zinc]

Yea

I think

Yea it is

[fickle ore]

And? still crazy big

[fickle ore]

as if 1/2 of yearly profit isnt big

[halcyon moss]

https://www.phoronix.com/news/X.Org-Server-Lots-Of-Reverts

[ashen spindle]

yeah lots of drama there atm

[halcyon moss]

Way land is the way to go..

[nimble arch]

Let it die already

[halcyon moss]

I hope my wayland experience will be better in popos 24.04 though

[thick elk]

Oh boy time to read the comment section, little bit of brainrot before bed won't hurt.

[oblique pike]

guys

wouldnt it be nice if wooting made a gaming mouse

?

[ashen spindle]

no

[analog sinew]

on

[thick elk]

I personally think a game controller would make more sense even.

[graceful wedge]

Windows background application crashed

Event viewer having issues

I’m running sfc/dism and chkdsk rn

I’m going to clear temp files etc, using Microsoft copilot ai to help me troubleshoot it lol

I restarted one of the windows service, I’ll try that after

Windows event log service

Idk man the ai is helping me, I don’t get that annoying popup anymore in event viewer tho

[unkempt lake]

[sudden imp]

This won’t be made in America

For 500 there’s no way

Second this is a clear violation of Emoluments Clause

I’m tired of seeing this BS

Most likely he will have all other competitors tariffed and you can buy his cheaper because it isn’t tariffed

[graceful wedge]

Is there anything else you’d do after?

Application hang

I was in a ranked game too tho, so glad it didn’t crash my game

[marsh pewter]

have you tried restarting?

[graceful wedge]

In the process

Chkdsk and dism doing their thing rn

[marsh pewter]

dude just restart

restarting should always be your first move

[graceful wedge]

First time getting that error so I’m going “overkill” so that I can try to not have it come back again

[marsh pewter]

very likely just a superficial issue that restarting would fix

[graceful wedge]

It’s scary, these issues

[graceful wedge]

Hopefully just something small

[ashen spindle]

pc issue? restart -> still got issues then you worry

never worry before restarting about pcs

[graceful wedge]

Hardware good tho so if anything it’s just software

[unkempt lake]

yes your computer will spontaneously combust

windows will corrupt

You're doomed

[graceful wedge]

It’s time

Microcenter here I come

[unkempt lake]

not again

please tell me you're joking

[graceful wedge]

I’m joking

[unkempt lake]

good

[graceful wedge]

Unless it gets too advanced for me to deal with

Likely I’ll be fine

Since I’m not downloading random shit on sketchy sites or messing with drivers

[bright briar]

bring back finger scanner

[sudden imp]

Under the screen finger scanners exist right?

Or did you just like the psychical button.

[bright briar]

for apple its gone

but for samsung its under the screen

idk why apple wont do it. Face id sucks

[sudden imp]

I’m torn I kinda like Face ID. But then again I don’t really care how I access my phone.

[graceful wedge]

Guys

I fixed it, I had to delete mmc file and I made a backup

No more of that popup error and I feel like my system is safe from software bs

I’m going to sleep now

Will see if issues come by tommarow

[dull hollow]

only having face id sucked during covid (cause masks) but i dont find it that bad otherwise
