[devout raptor]

iphones are actually pieces of shit now

i have to restart my phone once a week because the camera decides to stop working

[halcyon moss]

welcome to android custom rom experience around 10 years ago? :p

[ashen spindle]

doesnt sound a like default iphone issue

[devout raptor]

this happens all the time

[ashen spindle]

warranty time? sounds like its broken

[devout raptor]

no the camera itself works

but apps sometimes refuse to open it

myfitnespal barcode reader doesnt work, my gym or bank apps barcode reader doesnt work

[umbral heron]

I'm 90% sure that Microsoft is starving their UX team
Or it just doesn't exist nowadays
Configuration of Outlook is abysmal

[ashen spindle]

sounds like the apps are broken then?

or it doesnt work if the apps cant open it but do everything correctly

[frozen ingot]

every ms app is at least half broken

including their os

[devout raptor]

something goes bust and the apps refuse to open the camera

rebooting fixes it

but something causes it to happen over and over again, I think it might have something to do with youtube but im not sure what

[ashen spindle]

youtube is breaking your camera huh

either way if its in warranty I'd at least let them check it if something is broken

[devout raptor]

no the phone was bought february 2024

and this wasnt an issue until some ios update

[umbral heron]

Thunderbird
Free
You can customize it as you like

Outlook
Microsoft 365 Business Premium, 20€/mo
Little to no customization
This is a joke
And I can't use Thunderbird anymore, because Intune

[ashen spindle]

so its still in the 2 year warranty period then

unless you're not in the EU I guess

[umbral heron]

He Finne

[devout raptor]

ah it does have a 2 year warranty

but im sure its not a hardware problem

anwyay im never buying iphong again

[ashen spindle]

its not a hardware issue
not buying the hardware again because of it
so what is it

[devout raptor]

no i cant afford these phones

too expensive so i gotta switch to android

[frozen ingot]

you also don't have to buy this years model

[coral girder]

Im so pissed what happened to the $950 launch msrp

Got me all hyped for nothing

[nimble arch]

I'm waiting on XG27AQWMG pricing in the UK

[unkempt lake]

Mine's fine lol

[hasty thunder]

get Trump'd

[bright briar]

indeed join the android way

[frozen ingot]

android is shit too though

I really wish we weren't practically forced to pick between the two

[young bough]

Apple IO and software is so miles ahead its insane

[steady sail]

Software sure, IO not really

[young bough]

Especially the recent updates you can almost customize as much as android

They arent there yet customizable wise but im sure in a few years apple have catched up

[bright briar]

"Apple io and software is so miles ahead" meanwhile android been having that feature for years

[steady sail]

I mean optimization wise apple is a head

[vagrant pagoda]

everything about the hardware is better other than repairability XD

[devout raptor]

so ahead that discord freezes pretty much everytime I use it and intergrated camera doesnt work in apps from time to time

[ashen spindle]

yeah no thats just something broken on your phone

[steady sail]

Thats sounds like ur phone has some issues

[devout raptor]

how is that even possible

[steady sail]

[ashen spindle]

because something seems to be broken, either hardware or software wise

because thats not a universal experience, discord on iphone never froze for me it just has the known mobile discord issues that are on discords end

[frozen ingot]

various components on a phone failing isn't that uncommon

[devout raptor]

the app goes completely unresponsive 1/15 times when I hold on a message to press reply

[ashen spindle]

yeah that is NOT normal

[devout raptor]

bruh

[frozen ingot]

yeah no never experienced that

[devout raptor]

what the fuck man

it happens to me all the damm time

and the camera stops working on in applicaton qr scanners and stuff

[steady sail]

Restart ur phone

[umbral heron]

Hol up
Why QR scanner app
Camera app can read QR codes

[devout raptor]

IN APPLICATION

[frozen ingot]

anyways the hardware is likely busted somehow

[devout raptor]

my bank needs it for logging in and my gym entrance works with a qr scanner

[umbral heron]

Ah, makes sense

[ashen spindle]

and I keep telling you that is not normal that is something being broken lol

[devout raptor]

idk if the screen replacement fucked the phone up

[ashen spindle]

like this should maybe happen once a month

[steady sail]

That can happen

[devout raptor]

awesome

[frozen ingot]

probably, modern iphones are anal af about parts

they serialize certain parts so you can't replace them with any off the shelf part

[devout raptor]

I got a dead pixel on the display one month after buying it and it got replaced at some random place that the warranty covered

[frozen ingot]

or you can but get limited functionality and other issues

[devout raptor]

Im not even sure if this is a genuine display

[ashen spindle]

at some random place???

bruh

[devout raptor]

random as in I didnt know about it

[umbral heron]

Warranty covered means authorized repair shop, so warranty still holds
Check if reboot helps, if not then if factory reset helps, if not then I guess ask fro repair/replacement

[ashen spindle]

yeah you tell them their repair fucked something up this isnt normal at all lol

[devout raptor]

damm

they dont even sell this phong anymore

[devout raptor]

it was last year and these problems have been happening this year

[ashen spindle]

well you said its still in the 2 year warranty you just complain about it to them anyway

[devout raptor]

not a horrible idea

[ashen spindle]

the iPhone 6s I used for like 6 years never had issues like that

[frozen ingot]

well any update to the system could potentially cause issues if the part isn't oem

[devout raptor]

i gotta show em proof i guess

[young bough]

Thats all you brodie

[torpid cipher]

get off discord and start a family already unc lmao

[ashen spindle]

theres no need to continue this..

[torpid cipher]

how come when i'm talking to somebody someone always has to get involved like mind your business? Lmao

yall really are special

[ashen spindle]

its been 19 hours since the last message just drop it

[thick ermine]

<@&1098943457654997093>

[umbral heron]

Am here

Reading past messages

[devout raptor]

how is the mainstream audience this obnoxious

[thick ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/forza-horizon5-dodge-viper-drive-fast-driving-gif-6312718399616541451

Looks like just bickering to keep an eye on if it draws out 🤷🏻‍♂️

[torpid cipher]

you're irrelevant to the conversation so stay out of it?

[umbral heron]

Drop it mate, really...

[frozen ingot]

are you just going to be an edgelord the entire time or

[torpid cipher]

calm down uncle im trolling

[lyric hatch]

If you want to troll do it elsewhere

[torpid cipher]

are we going to ignore the fact that the ethan guy kind of called me a slur

[ashen spindle]

the way to deal with that is not to be a child and troll back..

[torpid cipher]

its a free country brother

[ashen spindle]

this isnt a country this is a private server

[torpid cipher]

I can do what i want but if the mods want me to stop then i will

[ashen spindle]

the mods literally asked you to stop

[torpid cipher]

And i did

🤷

[ashen spindle]

sigh <@&1098943457654997093>

[unkempt lake]

Oh no! A weeb!

The horror!!!

[frozen ingot]

wait until he sees the osu channel

[lyric hatch]

@torpid cipher doesn't sound like you stopped so here's a timeout and a warning to shape up or get out

[umbral heron]

[unkempt lake]

dumbass literally posted a screenshot of your profile with the caption "disgusting"

cals how dare you... be a weeb

this is an intervention

[frozen ingot]

she a mod I bet they have logs access

[umbral heron]

Oh
I was in toilet

[unkempt lake]

how dare you poop

[umbral heron]

Just says that there was a photo deleted, doesn't show a photo

[nimble arch]

[sudden imp]

Saw the YouTuber Austin John using this switch 2 backet but I cannot find it. Does anyone know where he got this?

[somber coral]

How OCD does one have to be to find this error (/j don’t ban me)

[bright briar]

naw ban him

[nimble arch]

[bright briar]

[somber coral]

If I get banned I will buy a 9800x3D

[bright briar]

the last thing your pc needs is you touching stuff because you're bored

[somber coral]

I swapped my 5080 for a 4080S

Why’d box slide into my DMs menacingly

Reported for spam I’m sure Discord will do something

[bright briar]

report it to wooting mod

[somber coral]

If I ping a mod do I get banned instantly and have a nuke sent to my house

[bright briar]

take the risk 50/50 chance

you'll never know if you dont try

[somber coral]

<@&1098943457654997093> ban him

[vapid ruin]

Wanna swap my 4070tiS to 5070tiS assuming that is 24gb vram. I can prop just sell the gpu for $500

[somber coral]

As in box

[unkempt lake]

Eathan stop

[somber coral]

I ain’t even in the same province I’m chilling

[somber coral]

Sorry too late

[bright briar]

its all rumored right?

[somber coral]

Pulled the trigger

[bright briar]

or have they confirmed this

[vapid ruin]

A man can dream

[somber coral]

On another 480HZ second monitor

[unkempt lake]

He did the same for me <@&1098943457654997093>

[bright briar]

indeed thats true

[somber coral]

Ban him twice

Who’d I call a slur bro

[vapid ruin]

Besides, 24gb 5070 + 3090 would be rad to have for AI

[bright briar]

i should have bought 4090 when i had the chance

[vapid ruin]

I can see 3090 to still be alive for the next... 2-3 years since it has massive usage in AI space

[bright briar]

i was such a fool with my 3080 🥀

[somber coral]

Mine instead

[somber coral]

I was such a genius buying a scalped 5080

[vapid ruin]

If 5070tiS is like 500w needed, might have to upgrade my PSU. But that's fine, more part for a secondary pc

3090 aint that bad still, it's just 10% less powerful than 4070tiS lmao.

[devout raptor]

i got a bullshit model 5070 ti and i think it peaked like 300 watts at best

undervolted its like ~200 watts

beefier models probably draw more

looking back i shouldve just sold my old gpu and bought the asus prime oc

[steady sail]

Im fine with 220w on the RX 9070

[vapid ruin]

Olay, only 20w more than 4070tiS

That's assuring

[unkempt lake]

The 9060xt takes like 170w tops

And runs at like 52c lol

That thing is crazy efficient

[steady sail]

Mine is around 58-60c

[unkempt lake]

Especially compared to the 7900xtx in my rig

[steady sail]

Even with 220w

[vapid ruin]

I'm missing 8gb to get the top AI spec achievable by somebody who has no money for dual 5090

[devout raptor]

I peeped a benchmark video and it draws less power then a 4070 ti super

[steady sail]

I hope that next gen amd gpu’s gonna be the same

[vapid ruin]

Yey, so no psu swap then

I run local reasoning model okay. So tbe only thing i need to worry is heat

Which is okay. I can just be in another room

[devout raptor]

undervolting dropped temps by 10° for me and the performance is the same

the better models had the ability for moderate overclocking and undevolting simultaenously

[vapid ruin]

It's alright, even with power limiting my gpu to 200w with nvidia smi, I'm still getting good enough speed for AI

[wheat plume]

If your fiber broadband plan has "500Mb" in the title
And you get at most 245Mbps...
Is there something wrong???

Or maybe there is a stupidly low fair usage policy on the plan that we don't know about

[devout raptor]

mine is 500 but i get 580

[steady sail]

I love my unlimited data plan

[devout raptor]

are those not a standard

[wheat plume]

No

In Ireland we have "Fair usage policies"
The provider says you get unlimited data per month
But once you reach a certain data usage threshold, they throttle your speed drastically until the end of the month

[devout raptor]

oh

[wheat plume]

Technically unlimited
Just hella slow after that threshold

[ashen spindle]

Read the contract for typical speeds and if 245 is below that then call them

[devout raptor]

Here in finland most plans are unlimited afaik unless its clearly stated and even those are rare i think?

[wheat plume]

The more stuff I hear about Finland
The more I wanna move there

[ashen spindle]

thats not finland thats 90% of european countries

[wheat plume]

Yeh ...
Except Ireland cause Ireland is shit

[ashen spindle]

no even ireland has them we went over this in the past already

[steady sail]

Nope, but i can use like 650gb in a month just in Mobile Data

[wheat plume]

Yeh
It has unlimited plans but they are extremely expensive

[analog sinew]

then you remember its cold af

[steady sail]

[wheat plume]

I'm good with cold as long as it's not raining

[analog sinew]

ngl if it wasnt for polar night i might consider it

but i have heard that its hard to get into those communities

and i suck at getting to know ppl already

[wheat plume]

Wow
I thought my month using 655gb mobile date as a lot

[analog sinew]

doesnt rly matter where i am alone

[ashen spindle]

idk vodafone ireland says they have 40€ a month for 500mb with unlimited data

[devout raptor]

it rains a lot

[ashen spindle]

and thats just the first ISP I checked

[wheat plume]

What's the fair usage policy threshold?

[ashen spindle]

unlimited

[wheat plume]

Nah
It can't be for 40 a month
That's not a thing here

[fair gull]

yes so expensive

13bucks

[wheat plume]

Unless it's 40 for the first 6 months?

[ashen spindle]

no its 38 for the first then 43 so I avereged it

[fair gull]

and more speed is still less than 20

[wheat plume]

Max speed in 5g is 25mbps?!?!

That's awful isn't it.

[fair gull]

yeah well its whatever the first one got

the other 2 are barely more expensive

[ashen spindle]

thought we're talking about fibre

[wheat plume]

We are
Idk why tony bringing up mobile

[ashen spindle]

because we definitely went over mobile having unlimited options in ireland

[wheat plume]

Yep

[fair gull]

oh

i thought were back to mobile

[wheat plume]

I have unlimited plan on mobile

[fair gull]

like usual

[ashen spindle]

hell vodafone even has 2 gigabit fibre options in ireland already

better than I can get from them

[fair gull]

apparently also not too expensive

50bucks after 6months

[wheat plume]

Up to* hmm

[ashen spindle]

from the ireland reddit btw

[fair gull]

literally every provider gives up to

they would be brain dead not to

[wheat plume]

Nah
My uncle's provider very much enforces their policy
After 80gb we can barely load a basic webpage anymore

[ashen spindle]

I should just save these pics so when the same argument comes up in3-6 months I can repost them

yeah so get him off of his 50 year old contract

[wheat plume]

He made it last year

Two years ago* my bad

[fair gull]

there is no reduction or usage limit mentioned

idk where you got the idea that "up to" means itll slow down

[devout raptor]

guys what the fuck

razer did a miyabi collab😭

[wheat plume]

He's not on Vodafone cause his house can't get fiber
He's got satellite broadband

[fair gull]

its just their legal safety so people cant sue them when the net is not 1gbit for a day or 2

[wheat plume]

True

[fair gull]

yeah not shit theyll slow that down if you use tons

sat net is expensive as shit

[ashen spindle]

mf you say you're talking about fibre broadband and now its satellite...

what fibre cable do you have going to satellite

[wheat plume]

I never said it was...

[fair gull]

anyway vodafone has quite cheap fibre imo

[ashen spindle]

okay but you talked about fibre, we look at fibre and say fibre contracts have no FUP anymore, you say your uncle does, that kinda implies its fibre then

[wheat plume]

Yeh it seems so
And it's fast
The house we rented for college had vodaphone and we ran several servers on that shit

[fair gull]

some really good 5gbit ones even available

90bucks a month

[wheat plume]

Wow
The plan my aunt has included TV and fibre for 80 a month but Max speed I've seen was 230mbps

Says 500Mb in the title

[fair gull]

with tv theyll all be expensive af

cause tv is included

[wheat plume]

Yep :/

[fair gull]

and usually expensive af

same contract

[wheat plume]

They just modified an Apple TV box with their own firmware lol

[fair gull]

20bucks more

just because tv is in

[wheat plume]

Wow that's good value compared to what she's paying now

Oh wait nvm

That's the first 12 month price 😅

[fair gull]

yeah when i said 20more i meant above 90

ive only been referencing the after discount price

[wheat plume]

Yep yep that's the one that matters

[fair gull]

dont look at the first 5month price or 12month unless you wanna get a year contract every year (which you can technically do)

[wheat plume]

I hate the "Annual price increase applies"

[fair gull]

you could get the reduced price for the 12months, cancel for in 12months and then get a new contract with another discount

[ashen spindle]

so just change provider or tell them you will change if they dont keep the lower price and suddenly they give you better deals

[fair gull]

ye

[wheat plume]

Yeh xd
My friends mom got a free upgrade to 1gb from doing that

From 500mb

[fair gull]

anyway fibre is acceptably priced imo in IE

nothing to write home about

no data caps

all nice and cool

[wheat plume]

Assuming you live in a place that gets fiber

[fair gull]

thats like literally the same in any other country

you get what you can get

unless you want to spend a few grand on getting fibre put in your home

HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH

they put the fibre in last year

only 1.5more years for them to connect it in some curbside cupboard

fudging cinema

[thick ermine]

I remember where I used to live, some dude spent like $100kUSD routing fiber all the way up the mountain to his house.

What a waste of $ imo

[unkempt lake]

Literally just do that

It's basic

[fair gull]

ah i see apparently kpn laid fibre for ziggo or smth cause ziggo can do it but kpn prob has to wait till some exclusivity runs out so ziggo can earn it back

not even faster than their coax though

[thick ermine]

I only have coax to my area. But it’s 2.5GB down and 70Mbps up. Blessed to even have that because it’s better than starlink.

[wheat plume]

Wow ok

[fair gull]

i just noticed my coax is faster than the fibre from ziggo

they offer 1000down and 100up

i get 1000 down and 250up

i pay the same

what is this madness

[ashen spindle]

Docsis isn’t horrible but just has other downsides

[fair gull]

i mean it works fine for me and itll work fine till 2027

i pray kpn offers 2gbit

[unkempt lake]

It's fine for me

I get 1gb down 55mbps up

For my use its perfectly fine

[fair gull]

oh they axed 2gbit for 4gbit

[unkempt lake]

Hell even on 550 down it was fine

[fair gull]

at least the upload is symmetrical

[ashen spindle]

Yes I just said it has other downsides I’m aware what it can do..

[fair gull]

1gbit symmetrical would already be great... i could finally do cloud backups on top of external hdds

[devout raptor]

what is lana posting

[fair gull]

dw it was a lanapost

[reef patrol]

For whom does the Lana post.

[fair gull]

i still think lana needs some sort of tumblr or such

so she can just do her random contextless posts there

[devout raptor]

who is lana

[fair gull]

this is lana

[ashen spindle]

Yeah it’s like tweeting or posting on blue sky just in discord

[fair gull]

oh and i guess you were asking what "lanaposting" refers to: its posting something without context or explanation that doesnt fit the current/previous conversation

[devout raptor]

ahh

i do that a lot

[fair gull]

well tumblr is even better cause everyone just lanaposts there

[unkempt lake]

She can be locked away with her own? Awesome

Then we won't get lanaposts anymore

[ashen spindle]

Idk about tumblr enough, just often seems like a single tweet or tweetchain

[fair gull]

i mean thats basically it but more not twitter minded

[devout raptor]

who even uses tumblr

I thought it was just for aesthetic pictures

[ashen spindle]

That sounds more like Pinterest

[minor citrus]

That is not a word I‘d associate with tumblr, but you do you

[fair gull]

stay with me and i know i might ask what seems impossible but imagine (and i am stretching imagine to the unimaginable max here), just imagine half the cess pool twitter is and you baaically have tumblr

[ashen spindle]

[devout raptor]

in like 2016-2017 i would just put tumblr behind any visual thing i wanted to find because they had the artsy people posting

[devout raptor]

never been on it so i dont know whats it about

Tho ive heard from video essays that it was a place for fandoms and shippers

[fair gull]

yes but it also has some really uh... "dedicated" communities

[devout raptor]

didnt that aspect sort of die after the nsfw ban

[fair gull]

yesnt they try to comeback i think but usually get shut down sooner or later

[sweet swan]

would it be worth it to upgrade my cpu? going from a ryzen 5 1600 to a ryzen 5 7600x, gpu is an rtx 3060 12gb

modded minecraft, indie games, but thinking of playing AAA stuff like Cyberpunk and RDR2, maybe even TW4 when it comes out

oh, and also gonna do audio production so idk if my cpu choice matters

[plush stirrup]

same here

[plush stirrup]

isn't this just coax?

[ashen spindle]

modded minecraft loves newer amd generations, if you can find a 9500f in your country that should be the same or cheaper as a 7600x and be great

[sweet swan]

A 7600x costs 150 for me rn

Already picked out everything, it'd only cost me 500 for an entire PC excluding the PSU, storage and gpu

My main motive for this is to just upgrade my PC for the foreseeable future before starting university

[ashen spindle]

yeah it will be a really big upgrade for minecraft and the rest

like one example for modded MC results

so yeah depending on the scene and all it can more than double your fps

[gusty kiln]

how much is a 7700 non-x where you are?

[sweet swan]

If you want to know the modpack I want to run, it's MC Eternal 2, with my current pc and with 10+ performance mods slapped into it, on minimal settings I only manage 80fps, going down to 20-30 when rendering chunks

[gusty kiln]

music production does like a bit more threads

[sweet swan]

239

[gusty kiln]

then nah

[ashen spindle]

it'll be fine for the start, if needed you can get good upgrades and it sounds like you are getting the upgrade for a reasonable price

[sweet swan]

It's also just because I bought this PC second hand, only the gpu and power supply has ever been changed inside of it since 2020-ish

Been slowly replacing everything like Theseus's ship

[smoky sleet]

Is their any monitor geeks in here

[ashen spindle]

ask the question not ask to ask a question

[smoky sleet]

Yeah i was unsure

English sucks a bit

Their for plural ?

[sweet swan]

there

[smoky sleet]

thank you

[sweet swan]

I'm also tired of spilling stuff into my components by accident. riser cable caught most of it but i wasnt sure

Yeah.. open case moment

[smoky sleet]

ahhh thank you

Learning a bit each days

[torpid cipher]

@ashen spindle ill just get a 7 7800x3d and new ram. I'll upgrade my gpu later (psu too if i have to)

[ashen spindle]

sure that works well for anything

[smoky sleet]

Sorry! Basically I'm looking for a dual monitor setup, ideally with one vertical monitor

It would be for productivity work most time and also gaming in 2k, I was looking at this MSI that I attached but it doesn't have much reviews ? And I can't seem to find much vertical monitor refs?

Really ? what else would you recommend

Burn as in what? The pixels

Ahh that makes sense!!

[gusty kiln]

how much is a PG27AQN where you are?

[smoky sleet]

But color wise oled has better accuracy?

[smoky sleet]

550, its on discount

[gusty kiln]

yeah oled beat ips in most cases in terms of color

[smoky sleet]

I don't really need the 360 hz but there isnt much of a price difference

[gusty kiln]

not too bad

[smoky sleet]

thanks!! I guess it's better to go see in person

[lunar elm]

i cant hear ur broke ass down there

[torpid cipher]

what is your problem

let it go already

[ashen spindle]

you can also just stop it you know

[smoky sleet]

I will likely get that done for me 🙏

[lunar elm]

i literally just woke up i aint having whatever yap he has

[ashen spindle]

I dont care if you woke up or fell asleep just drop it

[lunar elm]

if a fly is annoying me my first instinct is to swat it away

[torpid cipher]

you are not the riddler

chill out

[smoky sleet]

I rate the paperclip btw

Black or Gray Libernovo Omni??

I gotta choose

[lunar elm]

did they use like a 540p media processor for that

[old marlin]

I'd go black if that image shows both colors

lighter color stains and discolors easier

White if ur setup is mostly white and if thats the aethetic but it will stain easier, otherwise go black

[fickle ore]

HMMH

Heres the black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqOfbz2ixM and heres the gray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HGaSVqusxs

obv diff lightning

Room is kinda dark rn but plans to go white setup in future

[raw zephyr]

That looks like an interesting chair

[lofty pivot]

White is nice looking but long term can show wear really easily

It’s why I go black chair these days if I intend to keep it for 5-10 years

[rough patrol]

white looks nice for about a week

[digital cliff]

they decided that normal office chairs weren't already ugly enough and created this 💀

[devout raptor]

normal sucks stay weird

[frozen ingot]

hmm would it be possible to start the pc without no cpu cooler mounted just to check if the cpu is still alive at all or would that risk cooking it

it should have thermal protection right

[devout raptor]

yea ive seen people do that

it heats up fast asf boii so I would try to be quick

[frozen ingot]

yeah might be too risky if I have to get into bios to check for sure

screw it I'll have to sacrifice some cooling paste to find out

[raw zephyr]

i just did that recently, i only put the heatsink on top of the cpu without any paste, tried booting, once i got into bios i instantly powered off

[frozen ingot]

could maybe work I guess

[raw zephyr]

but it heats up very quickly

don't be jank and put some paste on there

[fair gull]

it will work

especially if all you do is enter bios it should be fine

just have a finger on the PSU to flip it off

[fickle ore]

Decided to go with the gray because ive never had one oh well lets see if I can manage to keep it clean looking

[pale sigil]

I do this when testing

For the BIOS

It's completely fine, just don't do it for long.

I like that you can put whatever album art you want in the window

[digital cliff]

no, actually it was an extremely poor read

[umbral heron]

Never said it was any good

[digital cliff]

the title of the essay contained as much information as the essay itself

it didn't need to be written and nothing was really gained by reading it

[umbral heron]

flei in hater mode now

[digital cliff]

not really

I just don't think this post is good or interesting to read

[smoky sleet]

I don’t share the full extent of your hatred for AI, but I think your framing of it as a fundamentally political, not technical, issue is very thought-provoking

random question, how much power can the cable from the wooting keyboard provide? (the default one that you get when buying the wooting keyboard)

[umbral heron]

Umm... I wouldn't try anything over 3A

[little delta]

so what im hearing is that i definitely shouldnt try to charge my laptop with it through a 100w power brick

[umbral heron]

65W aka 19Vx3.5A should be fine

Not much more

[ashen spindle]

its just a normal usb cable in that sense

Second and other screens 60Hz

[halcyon moss]

Yeah 60 is fine

[halcyon moss]

Hmmm maaaybe

[lunar elm]

I have a 100hz secondary I mounted vertically

Its better than 60hz thats for sure

only 10% off? smh

[somber coral]

Ok 900$ for a 480HZ oled is pretty good no?

Esp when I can return and get 540hz

Or just buy and return until 540hz releases

Hearing me out or no

[steady sail]

just buy 2 480hz

[dull hollow]

we have a 25% discount in the us

Is there a better panel for 480hz oled?

[balmy vector]

It says fg right there

[somber coral]

I tried the asus one it had really bad text fringing

[unkempt lake]

Oh i missed that

[unkempt lake]

Thats a problem on most oleds

Including this one

[somber coral]

It wasent bad on my 360hz

is there a better panel then that or no

[ashen spindle]

its only really an issue on first gen oled and thats also only for a few people

[dull hollow]

ips 2nd monitor for school/workflow and oled for content + gaming

[ashen spindle]

can still be bad but thats just for a few people that notice it

[gusty kiln]

Just get a 4k 27" oled, ezpz text

[somber coral]

For me asus was bad the LG one was better

[somber coral]

Real real

[balmy vector]

Ppi king

[somber coral]

Small price tag of 5k

yeah 4k(high ppi) also fixes lots of it

[lyric hatch]

Tandem OLED is tempting, im still on my 10 year old IPS monitor

[gusty kiln]

Lots of the are starting at 899

[balmy vector]

Yeah it looked interesting

[somber coral]

Is it 480hz tho

[lyric hatch]

If colours and brightness are anything like the new iPad pro I want that for sure

[gusty kiln]

No 4k is 480hz yet

[somber coral]

Exactly

[lyric hatch]

Aren't there 480hz 1080p and 240hz 4k dual mode oleds

[balmy vector]

Yeah

[dull hollow]

yes

[gusty kiln]

Just but no 4k at 480hz

That's just way too much bandwidth atm

Amd no gpu to run any games at that

[dull hollow]

1080p is immediately a no go for me, maybe if there was a 4k and 1440p itd be a different story

[gusty kiln]

Other than 10+ years old games

[balmy vector]

But what about 480fps quake at 16k

[rough osprey]

where is 5k 1440p dualmode

[gusty kiln]

Shame arena shooters are all but dead

[rough osprey]

does stardew valley have a framecap

Might be one of those games were super high fps messes with the animation

[wise plover]

really high fps is funny in terraria

[gusty kiln]

Tcl have a working laptop screen atm

Probably TV before monitor though

[rough osprey]

yepp

gaming monitors such as small market

[rough osprey]

and phones?

[wise plover]

my phone does 144hz and it's awesome

feels so smooth

[somber coral]

I would 200% get that if it was 27”

[somber coral]

Tried it, 32” was too big and the way my taskbar and windows is set up the switching made it unusable

[wise plover]

Minecraft:

[dull hollow]

minecraft with shaders enters the chat

[wise plover]

I went to a bestbuy a few weeks ago and saw a 16k TV

[gusty kiln]

Tcl does make prototype phones and such so maybe

[wise plover]

and I promise there is literally no difference

everything 4k+ looks exactly the same unless you're an eagle

[gusty kiln]

How big was it?

[wise plover]

86in iirc

[gusty kiln]

Maybe if a 4k and 16k at like 115 inches

[wise plover]

yeah that would be more noticable

[gusty kiln]

Hmmm pretty big

[wise plover]

I did see a 112in 4k tv I think

somethin in the 110s

I felt really small lmao

[gusty kiln]

Until you see it in a living room lol

Was it just in open space?

[wise plover]

I can't even begin to imagine

[wise plover]

it was against a wall

second shelf of the bestbuy I think

[gusty kiln]

I rather get a projector at that point

[nimble arch]

Me when I'm Linus from LTT and I upgrade my 115" TV to a 116" TV

[wise plover]

1 inch is huge man

[gusty kiln]

Tv that big is so hard logistically unless you're just balling rich

[wise plover]

don't insult him for that

kek

[nimble arch]

They make for very immersive home theatres at least

[wise plover]

I don't see any reason why a normal person would even want to bother with something over 90in

[gusty kiln]

Not sure if a TV that big can fit in most residential home door

[wise plover]

definitely not

unless you don't have stairs at all

and the entry door is a straight shot to the living room

[gusty kiln]

So 80" is the average front door height

[lyric hatch]

What if we just make the TV foldable

[unkempt lake]

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/nvidias-rtx-5070-is-the-most-popular-current-gen-gpu-in-the-latest-steam-hardware-survey-but-amds-rdna-4-cards-dont-even-make-the-top-100/

[wise plover]

yes, 6'8 has been the standard in the US since 1936 iirc

[wise plover]

samsung will do it

just wait

[unkempt lake]

Rdna 4 not top 100

Cringe

[ashen spindle]

steam survey not accurate? wow shocker such news

more at 11

[gusty kiln]

115 would only be 56.4 inch tall, but that's is out of the box

[unkempt lake]

I'm pretty sure it is

[gusty kiln]

Hmmmmmmmm

[unkempt lake]

They do show up just not in the top 100

[ashen spindle]

steam survey is not, theres literally months of card and OS fluctuating depending on what regions get more survey pop ups

[unkempt lake]

Do we have sales numbers for rdna4?

[wise plover]

imagine how heavy it'd be though

surely at least 60lbs

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[ashen spindle]

we dont have any accurate numbers, we never have anything great

[lyric hatch]

I don't see how it would discriminate between Nvidia and AMD to make it bias

It's the best source we have over the largest population

[wise plover]

just looked it up and found out that a 75in is up to 80lbs

didn't feel that heavy

[ashen spindle]

it very often has been the case that it pops up in internet cafes multiple times on different accounts and those basically always used nvidia

[wise plover]

but ig it is

[ashen spindle]

so its not inherently biased its just flawed and often not a good sample

[wise plover]

an oled 75in is 80-100lbs 💀

[gusty kiln]

Not giant crt/plasma anymore

[wise plover]

dang

[gusty kiln]

Those would be 300lb ez

[wise plover]

it'd take 3 or 4 people to safely get it anywhere

[gusty kiln]

We ever get updated sales data of gpus?

[ashen spindle]

nope

[lyric hatch]

Are those cafes running 4090s because that card is more popular than anything AMD has in the survey

[ashen spindle]

best you get is numbers like amd saying rdna4 has been the highest sales of their cards ever on launch quarter

[gusty kiln]

Nah 3060s are so abundant

[ashen spindle]

if you go by gpu-z stats there are more 9070XTs than 5070s

[lyric hatch]

Is anyone outside of reddit installing GPU Z I think that is a way more bias source than steam

[ashen spindle]

which also isnt accurate because people used it more to check for ROPs missing etc. but also is more used in enthusiast areas etc.

oh yeah im saying thats also not accurate

but its still like a million 9070 series cards that it tracked

[lyric hatch]

It ain't perfect but it's by far the best we have

[kindred orbit]

Anyone here knows some stuff about speakers and vintage audio stuff?

[ashen spindle]

its the only thing that has actual numbers (that are flawed but unique hardware IDs)

[gusty kiln]

I wonder what's the population of handheld with those integrated amd gpu stats

[ashen spindle]

low, handhelds dont sell a lot

08/29/2025
5050: 5079
5060: 322032
5060 Ti: 315710
5070: 647604
5070 Ti: 1224299
5080: 1177142

9070 GRE: 17861
9070: 137397
9070 XT: 714319
gpu-z numbers as example

the reason why amd is low is simply that it sells less, people dont buy it in OEMs etc. and nothing for AI really, but steam survey isnt accurate still

[wise plover]

yeah my grandpa gave me some from the early 2000s and I had to spend a few hours figuring it out

[kindred orbit]

[vagrant pagoda]

smh you didnt even get the tab into the usb?

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah dp not usb

[unkempt lake]

The usbs also look odd

[reef patrol]

Probably because the motherboard isn't screwed in fully?

[fallow summit]

Guys so I just got this SSD as a gift but I went to look and noticed my Motherboard (B450 Tomahawk Max) only has one slay for those I read but so there another location I can possibly put this in?

[fair gull]

not on the board directly

youd need a pcie adapter

[fallow summit]

Does that affect speeds? Also how much are they and are their like good options or are all of them good?

[vagrant pagoda]

not really

[fallow summit]

Not really as in it doesn’t affect speeds?

[ashen spindle]

doenst really affect speeds, cheap, just make sure its the right adapter and supports nvme and not just sata to pcie

[fallow summit]

Okay where does this adaptor go though on my more?

[steady sail]

in one of that slot

[fallow summit]

So it would stick outwards?

[steady sail]

yes like a GPU

[fallow summit]

Okay thank you!

[reef patrol]

Something akin to this.

[fallow summit]

And it doesn’t matter what adaptor I get as long as it’s something like this?

[fallow summit]

Ohh it’s like a tray?

[ashen spindle]

its like a gpu without the big cooler yeah

[fallow summit]

Damn it’s gonna make my PC look weird inside now isn’t it? 😂😂

[ashen spindle]

define weird

its just another pcie card using the board

[fallow summit]

Like it’s gonna make it look weird as in it looks odd being there below the GPU no? Is what I meant 😂

[steady sail]

no ?

[ashen spindle]

define it looking odd, if its odd for you that there is more than a gpu on a board sure

not odd for people who have 4 gpus or 4 pcie cards on their boards

[fallow summit]

I just never seen a PC with this in it so I thought it would look weird is all 😭

[ashen spindle]

and if it does who cares, pc is supposed to make the monitor have frames, not be the thing you look at

[fallow summit]

Yeah true

[fair gull]

THATS why i suck at helldivers so much

i was staring at my case to play it

[reef patrol]

Kids these days getting weirded out by having a single PCI-E card installed.

[ashen spindle]

run or grandpa mansen yells about his soundcards

[reef patrol]

BACK IN MY DAY

[fair gull]

and his joystick port card

and his lan card

[reef patrol]

No no. That was on the sund card.

[fair gull]

sorry token ring

remember when people installed SCSI cards and SATA cards before those were super common?

[reef patrol]

Mhmm. Even USB was something you added at first 😄

[fair gull]

yeah

man i remember when we moved stores at my old job i threw out so much legacy stuff

[reef patrol]

Or the good old days when all cards were longer than modern GPUs 😄

[fair gull]

tons of SCSI disks, floppy disks by the tray, various PCI cards and what not

[fair gull]

oh yeah with all the through-hole resistors and capacitors on there

[fallow summit]

Once I get the adaptor and my new SSD into it what do I have to do once I turn the Pc on?

[ashen spindle]

nothing just have it installed in the pc

[fallow summit]

The PC automatically reads it and creates a place in the files? Like my C and E drive? Or do I gotta create that myself

[reef patrol]

I mean you'll have to initialize it real quick in Windows.

[ashen spindle]

its just as if you had it insalled in the m2 slot directly

[reef patrol]

True.

[ashen spindle]

so sometimes it just shows up sometimes it needs a manual letter assigned

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySm_ERcVUlk
Plenty of videos out there showing how to open it. It's a very easy "next, next next" tool.

[fallow summit]

Okay

Thank you guys!

[fallow summit]

Sorry about the flash

I just got home does it go in that slot?

[gusty kiln]

ideally the lowest one

are those pcie 3.0 or 4.0?

[ashen spindle]

yup thats the slot

[vagrant pagoda]

and they had a card support XD

[fallow summit]

No clue

[fallow summit]

Does the 3.0 or 4.0 matter like the other guy said?

[gusty kiln]

only if you're using the smaller slots

[ashen spindle]

you use it for games I assume? then no not really

technically it will be not at max speed but you wont notice that and there isnt a way to get a faster slot anyway if its not at 4.0

[steady sail]

i guess 2.0 the lower one and the top one is 3.0

[gusty kiln]

2.0x1 oof

[steady sail]

its a b450 board

my b550 board has 4.0 x16 and 3.0 x1 and x16

[gusty kiln]

2.0x4 is plenty for a drive

[fallow summit]

So since that one I took a picture of is a 2.0 will I notice it for games?

[gusty kiln]

probably no, because 2.0x1 is like sata ssd speeds and that is still plenty fast for most games

the bigger slot is even faster

[fallow summit]

But I don’t have a better slot to use than that 2.0 right?

[gusty kiln]

yeah, that's all you have

[fallow summit]

Damn

[gusty kiln]

you'll be fine, just don't overspend on the drive

[fallow summit]

I got one as a gift

[gusty kiln]

ah ok

[gusty kiln]

oof that's a nice drive

ideally you swap you boot with that

[fallow summit]

I should swap the one I have in there for this one?

[gusty kiln]

ideally but you don't have to

[fallow summit]

This is the one that’s in there but a 1TB version

[gusty kiln]

are you comfortable cloning and swapping the drives? if not don't worry about it

you won't notice anything tbh

[fallow summit]

Wym won’t notice anything?

[gusty kiln]

this is just my inner OCD and tech nerd talking

[gusty kiln]

you won't notice any performance difference in games regardless of how you set the drives up

[fallow summit]

I mean will it be a lot of work? Cause she bought me this so I can download a bunch of games to play with her so I gotta find time between her and work to do it 😂😂

[fallow summit]

Oh then I prob won’t do it if I won’t see any diff

[gusty kiln]

yeah

just buy an adapter and plug it in

[fallow summit]

If it were to improve speeds and performance then yeah I would

[fallow summit]

Yeah I was already gonna buy the adaptor for the slot

For the adaptor do you guys recommend any?

[iron abyss]

hey can anyone help me with something?

[vagrant pagoda]

only if you ask

[pale sigil]

I don't think they'll see a difference that's worth it lol

because it is

that's the top of the line cosworth model

[brisk topaz]

They called it a merkur here never heard of it

[frozen ingot]

one of the most stolen cars of the 80s, they were absolute beasts

[brisk topaz]

For us the most stolen cars are honda civics lol

[frozen ingot]

yeah it bombed pretty hard in the US

but were super popular in europe, they were everywhere in the 80s and 90s

[brisk topaz]

Whats the biggest pos you guys have in europe car wise

[frozen ingot]

right now am not sure I've kinda clocked out with modern cars but the chevrolet rebadged daewoos rank pretty high

we had those in the 00s and they were hateful

[brisk topaz]

Fucking daewoos lmao

We took a daewoo mudding here. Got it stuck. It became a giant 80 foot fire pit at a party.

80 feet in height

It was one of those pos hatchbacks

[frozen ingot]

they basically had to rebrand the chevrolet corvette to just the corvette in europe because they trashed the chevrolet name with cheap rebadged daewoos

GM brilliance

[brisk topaz]

I mean look at who the ceo of gm is and youll stop questioning the decisions they make

That said i still love duramax and the entire ls platform

[frozen ingot]

yeah seems like most of the good stuff they actually made were left to the US market

here they just kept trying to make trash and then wondered why nobody bought their cars

[brisk topaz]

Do you guys have strong emission laws that restricted what they could make there?

[frozen ingot]

well yes and no

you can technically drive a big gas guzzling V8 car but you wouldn't want to with the fuel prices or taxes

[brisk topaz]

That would most likely be why. A lot of gm’s good stuff is “terrible for the environment” i think the kids say these days?

[brisk topaz]

Cries in 8mpg

Smiles in 600hp

[devout raptor]

GM =
General motors❌
Gooner man✅

[frozen ingot]

gas is $6 a gallon converted from our currency and liters

and that's cheap compared to what it has been for a long time

[brisk topaz]

You a gooner?

[brisk topaz]

Thats why i started using my chevrolegs

It aint got no gas innit cant drive it

[devout raptor]

casual yeah, planning on retiring tho

[brisk topaz]

[frozen ingot]

driving a diesel now because europe

[brisk topaz]

Diesels are the way to go until you deal with def

[frozen ingot]

they're pretty refined here, every other car has it

[brisk topaz]

Whatcha mean

[frozen ingot]

they thought it was environmentally friendly for some reason in the 90s so the sales and development of it exploded

[brisk topaz]

Usually what people think is better for the environment ends up being worst lmao

[frozen ingot]

'if we just slap a particle filter on it it'll be as clean as gas"

[brisk topaz]

Meanwhile diesel exhaust drops to the ground, and gas exhaust rises to the sky and beyond

[frozen ingot]

they're pretty quiet and runs smooth

[frozen ingot]

yeah has way higher emissions of some nasty stuff as well that wasn't really discovered until quite recently

[brisk topaz]

Well dont breathe it in lmao

[old marlin]

from the larger brands probably dacia

[frozen ingot]

thankfully am sitting inside the car not behind it

[old marlin]

they are still ok cars they are just very uhhh "downtier"

[frozen ingot]

but yeah turbo diesels was kinda europes way to murican V8 torque without a big thirsty V8

[halcyon moss]

dacia is not that tier anymore

[frozen ingot]

can get the same torque out of a 2 liter inline 4 cyl

[halcyon moss]

its still cheap tier, but not shit tier

[old marlin]

still is to some degree

[old marlin]

they haven't been shit in a while, they are just very cheap

[brisk topaz]

Turbo diesels feel so slow though lol

[old marlin]

like default doesn't have a radio cheap

[frozen ingot]

not here

they are faster than petrol a lot of the time

[halcyon moss]

not in response

[old marlin]

I drove my 93hp turbo diesel up to the limiter at over 180kmh

[brisk topaz]

Maybe when comparing to towing. But on the get go diesels accelerate slower

[old marlin]

eh

with normal cars not really since they got insane amounts of low end torque

[brisk topaz]

What the fuck is a kilometer bro

[frozen ingot]

nope even in regular traffic they are quicker a lot of the time because you get torque instantly whereas you have to rev up a gas engine

[brisk topaz]

What is that in mph

[frozen ingot]

the diesels here are not the same animals you got over there

[halcyon moss]

stuff in it in google

[old marlin]

hey you are the ones using different units

[halcyon moss]

silly units as i like to call them

[marsh glade]

If you know your Fibonacci numbers, converting from kilometers to miles is very easy

[old marlin]

watch out for the "who landed on the moon"

using metric units and german scientists

[frozen ingot]

euro car makers spent a ton of R&D into diesel from the 90s and onwards, don't think that much has happened to it outside of heavy trucks in the US

[old marlin]

90s?

[brisk topaz]

Europeans be like: “yea that 6 foot tall dude is about 182 centimeters”

[frozen ingot]

that's when it started to take off yes

[old marlin]

sorry for using actual SI units instead of abstracted ones

[marsh glade]

3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144
3 miles is 5 kilometers
5 miles is 8 kilometers
55 miles is 89 kilometers
89 miles is 144 kilometers

[frozen ingot]

who's foot are we talking though

[frozen ingot]

I have a hunch who all those people in that bar ended up voting for last election 💀

[brisk topaz]

Same person i voted for lol

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1723221/ Garmin is releasing a MicroLED watch 🧐 (Only $1999.99)

[empty wren]

Neat

[exotic plinth]

Well looks like no femboys allowed at work place

[old marlin]

sysadmins hopefully don't run arch

[nimble arch]

They run Linux from scratch

Are you really a sys admin if you can’t compile a kernel?

[halcyon moss]

Gentoo flashbacks

[umbral heron]

make
that's... that's it? Can I go home?

[steady sail]

no

16 hour shift

[umbral heron]

Wait

16 hours?

Overtime hours baybe, we go to 2x

[halcyon moss]

Yeah, and then you forgot the sata drivers

cool, mmm, 16gb of vram for $350

[gusty kiln]

I thought it was a super budget GPU

since it's only a "B50"

[ashen spindle]

its the pro series budget card

[gusty kiln]

ahh

[ashen spindle]

b80 is like b580 and 3x the price because vram

[vapid ruin]

9060xt 16gb is like $350 in my place. But this one doesn't seems to require power

[ashen spindle]

and sriov and other pro features

[gusty kiln]

I hope they refresh the A310

[ashen spindle]

unlikely

[vapid ruin]

The consensus I see is that Intel gpu is nice for AV1 encoding

[gusty kiln]

yeah best value encoding gpu

[ashen spindle]

just no value for intel xD

[boreal sand]

Guys should i get used rtx 4080 or new rx 9070 xt for the same price? For competitive games

[gusty kiln]

at the same price? 4080 everytime

it's like 5-10% faster on average

[boreal sand]

Rx 9070 xt would be new with warranty tho

[gusty kiln]

will you get the original reciept with the 4080?

[boreal sand]

Unlikely

[gusty kiln]

up to you then on what you value

new warranty vs slightly faster
