iOS 26 is meant to drop today

[steady sail]

yes

[unkempt lake]

@raw zephyr what ended up happenning with FSP

[astral haven]

Not visionos but Wednesday hopium

[vagrant pagoda]

the battery is likely multi part and difference sizes so gotta be hard to balance

[nimble arch]

25W charging speeds if it’s multi-day battery life isn’t really a big deal IMHO

[sudden imp]

Its more similar to a regular looking watch.

[sharp badger]

Yeah but it's something about the "champagne gold" colour and it's only available for the 41mm

[sudden imp]

https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/1nhjegu/ncase_m3_build_9950x3d_5090/

This is such a cool build!!

[rough osprey]

ios26 is out

[nimble arch]

Time to update multiple Apple devices

[gusty kiln]

That 5.5k peak might be bad for some people

[dull hollow]

lets see if it fixed my brightness issue

[steady sail]

chat, should i get those 2 SSD's the 990 EVO would be for games bx500 for other stuff lul

[gusty kiln]

They are fine

[raw zephyr]

i contacted the retailer i got it from, they gave me a full refund and i still have the faulty psu with me here 🤷‍♂️ and the motherboard is getting rma'd

[halcyon moss]

Lol no, not when that thing costs 3000 and a tablet 300

[halcyon moss]

Uhh what's the price?
And what's the price of a single 4tb?

[steady sail]

the cheapest 4tb ssd is 255 euro
those 2 are around 230 euro

and thats a Curcial P3 Plus that is 255 euro

[halcyon moss]

Saving 25 bucks for trouble

1 volume gives you more effective space than 2 volumes

[umbral heron]

Get 256/512 and 4T
Bigger one for data/games and smaller one for OS, so when it's time to reinstall Windows, all your games and data are untouched

[vagrant pagoda]

you can just do 2 partitions

[halcyon moss]

Hard dissagree

[umbral heron]

Sure, that'd work, I just don't like to do that, because when keeping both OS and games on one SSD, when downloading a lot of stuff and/or maxing out the reading, Windows tends to crunch and slow down
Keeping them on both separate physical disks solve this issue, although this is most likely not the case with NVMe given bigger queues and way bigger IOPS than SATA

[steady sail]

i have a 256gb sata m.2 for windoge

[vagrant pagoda]

0 shot your internet is faster than a modern ssd

[halcyon moss]

Nvme is magnitudes faster than sata

[steady sail]

first sata m.2
second sata ssd
third HDD

[umbral heron]

Speed surely not, but IOPS can be easily saturated on SATA

[vagrant pagoda]

sata user is almost as bad as a disker

[steady sail]

its doing its stuff so i dont need anything speedier

[plush stirrup]

Ew bx... shit quality control imo or I'm just unlucky, first bx500 I got froze my motherboard at post, 2nd works but very slow once it's almost like drops to 0MB/s during an 80MB steam update

[steady sail]

BX500 works fine

[umbral heron]

Might wanna turn off Bitlocker, so that you'll access you data in case Windows dies
Open padlock is still encrypted drive, just not with set password

[plush stirrup]

I might've been unlucky who knows, but still wouldn't get one myself after this experience

5min for an 80MB update is a little much for me 🤣

[steady sail]

i mean it does stop for me as well but i dont really mind i can wait

[halcyon moss]

Gen 4 SSD can hit up to 7,500MB per second.

500MB for sata

[steady sail]

tbh most of my drives never hit more than 100mb/s

[plush stirrup]

I mean can wait sure, it went through and read speeds don't seem to be impacted, as far as I'm aware, but I moved my games to another SSD since

But if a small little update doesn't complete quick it'll get annoying eventually when the games you play might require updates before it lets you play

Might be worth spending a little more for one that doesn't stop during updates 😅

[steady sail]

i mean most of the time when a game i wanna play has update i just start watching youtube xd

and eventually i even forgor about it xd

[umbral heron]

In conclusion
Get one 4TB SSD

[nimble arch]

Yes, I did that.

All the data on the same drive with the same speeds

I only have games on the PC with that SSD installed

[steady sail]

so you say that i should get a single 4tb that is a Crucial P3 Plus ?

[plush stirrup]

I mean mine usually auto update, but now imagine you're playing cs and you have 4 people waiting for you to update because your SSD says no (when an update is released, you are forced to update)

[umbral heron]

Yup, P3 or P5 if you can find it for the same price
Only difference is that P5 has a bit more TBW

[steady sail]

as the 4TB 990 EVO m.2 is 280 euro

[plush stirrup]

I don't think P3 Plus is great either, is it? Doesn't it stop aswell after X GB of writing, but less likely to be full and have that issue

[umbral heron]

I have my P5 for some time now and no issues whatsoever

[steady sail]

tbh the m.2 ssd's would just for games nothing else xd

my HDD is for uhm green/blue steam

[sudden imp]

I updated my marvel rivals client and it’s now using 100% cpu usage. I don’t know why I’ve done a virus scan checked for things running. Only thing I’ve done was install the latest Nvidia drivers for the 1660ti. Hoping I didn’t fuck something up anyone know anything?

[steady sail]

yeah i dont think that i wanna spend 300 euro on a 4tb ssd xD

[plush stirrup]

It does stop basically with occasional spikes, but way worse vs most other ssd's...

[umbral heron]

Then get one 2TB and done

[plush stirrup]

A 2TB good one vs a 4TB bad one is an upgrade tbh

[unkempt lake]

Whats the cpu

[sudden imp]

10th gen i5

It’s unreal engine five but it seemed to be running fine before. My worry is that my PC is now nearing its golden years 🙁

[plush stirrup]

And the P3 is QLC, even with Samsung I got bad experience with QLC, after 6days my write speed went from 500MB/s to 75MB/s, I had maybe 100GB on the 1TB SSD, and used samsung's official benchmark.

[umbral heron]

10th gen still great CPUs

[loud hemlock]

i have a p3 plus and wouldnt recommend it tbh

[umbral heron]

No idea there was such a difference between P3 and P5 honestly

[sudden imp]

I’ll try reinstalling the game later tonight when I get back from classes

[plush stirrup]

One dies, the other doesn't 😅 I think even their gen5 NVMe's have this issue that it goes down very low in speed if I'm correct

Lemme find one really quick

[unkempt lake]

Question what do you guys write that bogs you down this much?

[steady sail]

in Hungary u cant even find P5 Plus

[plush stirrup]

My 80MB game update

[loud hemlock]

i was using my p3 plus as a cache drive on my nas which was a particularly bad idea

[unkempt lake]

I'm using an sn770 and an sn750 in my system and don't really have any issues

Hell even on my old sata ssds

Which i have a ton of

A wd blue 3d, a samsung 870, a sandisk ultra 2

[steady sail]

tbh thats happens xd i just found a random screenshot 3 months ago xd

[unkempt lake]

Hell the sandisk ultra 2 is over a decade old

And it still works like a charm

So idk

[umbral heron]

Not really about speed, more about IOPS/operations per second
During Windows Update or downloading game when there's a lot of operation OS can slow down or game can download way slower than it could

[lunar elm]

Damn, 2080Ti kingpin on my local market

[plush stirrup]

That's WD not crucial?

[unkempt lake]

Ye

[plush stirrup]

According to the graph I sent even though that one drops, it's still 400MB/s or so by the looks of it

[unkempt lake]

Haven't used crucial m.2's

[plush stirrup]

That's still sata SSD speeds it'll complete an update quick

[unkempt lake]

I did slap a sandisk extreme in nico's pc tho which is a rebranded sn770 lol

[umbral heron]

Now SanDisk

[unkempt lake]

It worked fine on my machine and was on clearance so

[unkempt lake]

Literally

Sandisk extreme = sn770 same drive just a label change

It's hilarious

[plush stirrup]

The P3 plus drops to around 100MB/s

[unkempt lake]

Idk wtf the point is

[plush stirrup]

Dunno what my BX500 drops to on one of those graphs

[steady sail]

my peak disc usage

[umbral heron]

Consulting firm told them ot merge in 2016
Now other one told them to separate in 2025
Consulting is a corporate scam

[steady sail]

than its just dies xd

and back to alive again

[plush stirrup]

Mine litterally goes to 10Mbps or so which is 1MB/s before it starts again

[steady sail]

mine can even stop completly xd

[plush stirrup]

There's my 80MB update 🤣

And from the graph you can see it basically stopped multiple times, how can an SSD stop multiple times for 80MB 😭

[steady sail]

tho it only happens on steam

atleast for me

[plush stirrup]

I only use steam tbh, steam library is 850GB can't fit much more on a 1TB SSD

[lunar elm]

man i love it when bugs spread propaganda in HD2 (terminate illegal broadcast)

[plush stirrup]

I only play it every so often :3 I should play bots again someday, if that still exists

[umbral heron]

It looks so targetable and shootable with autocannon/quasar cannon

[steady sail]

[plush stirrup]

Also I timed this at the time according to the messages I sent to someone, it took 8min for an 80MB update, and my internet is fast enough to download it in 4sec. The rest is disk/cpu which my CPU should not be limiting, so disk only.

[steady sail]

i guess im just gonna go with this

[sudden imp]

thats half the stoarge on like a new iphone crazy

[sudden imp]

thats a good pick

I think the only thing you need to look at when it comes to ssd's is the speed and storage ammount

[steady sail]

thats the thing most of my ssd's never even reached their rated speed xd

all of them maxed out at 100-110mb

[sudden imp]

storage ammount matters more to me personally

I think most ssd's will run at the miniumum speed that generation is speced for right?

[steady sail]

the 4tb version of that ssd is 450 euro xd

oh wait thats the 850x

anyway almost samething xd

[plush stirrup]

Except certain crucials they tend to drop to 0 a lot most others seem to at least got some speed left

[plush stirrup]

Seems like a decent choice

[steady sail]

tho i still kinda wanna get a sata ssd just for osu xd

soo i might just pick up a 500gb one

[sudden imp]

What should someone be looking at when buying an SSD I am curious.

[plush stirrup]

Sata and nvme is almost the same price these days iirc, or do you have limited m2 slots?

[steady sail]

*note my whole osu folder is around 250gb

[steady sail]

i just dont wanna loose 250gb from a 2tb ssd xd

i have 2 M.2 slot

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-model/spec/

yeah more then enough xd

[plush stirrup]

Hmm yes so many sata ports xD

Is there no alternative to the bx500 at the same price? Also it seems if you add a 2nd m2 you lose 2 of those sata ports x)

[steady sail]

its for osu i dont care what ssd it is xd

and i only have 3 sata stuff after this buy

one 1TB BX500
one 500GB BX500
one 2TB HDD

[plush stirrup]

Fair enough, don't know how osu downloads stuff at least it's not a multiplayer game where people are waiting for a slow ssd 😆

[astral haven]

Pcpartpicker, sort by price/gb

[steady sail]

that Crucial ssd cost 35 euro for me

meanwhile the SN770 is 150 euro

[umbral heron]

Get yourself portable USB3 NVMe for osu

[steady sail]

that would be the same price as the m.2 xd

[plush stirrup]

I meant for them, not for me, I just buy samsung these days I risked non samsung once and my motherboard didn't even post at times due to it 🤣 and now that it works it goes to 0 in speed so often

And if it did post it froze there

[astral haven]

RMA?

[plush stirrup]

I did, got a new one and that's the one that takes 8min for an 80MB update

[steady sail]

even with the BX500 i load in pretty fast in most games soo idk

[plush stirrup]

Oh yeah loading in is fine luckily, writing is a different story

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean any ssd is miles faster than being a disker XD

[astral haven]

QLC is pain always for writing

[astral haven]

Eh you'd be surprised
QLC is slooooooooow

660p was sub 50MB/s

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean its slower at random than a 15k spinner

that i doubt

[astral haven]

Sequential

[vagrant pagoda]

damn thats horrible

i ahve a 2tb 600 and it isnt that slow

[astral haven]

That has dram

660p yeeted dram

[vagrant pagoda]

dman

[steady sail]

99% of the time i just start watching youtube and just forgor that i download something xd

[vagrant pagoda]

[leaden kiln]

iOS 26 looks pretty nice

I thought so for the early previews too though

[nimble arch]

iOS 26 installed onto my phone. I’m liking the Liquid Glass design language. Also, yes, my autocorrect did capitalise Liquid Glass. Apple does love their design language.

[astral haven]

I love the lag lol

I also appreciate how it forgot that I had my device set to dark mode icons when it defaulted me to liquid glass

[leaden kiln]

My phone is feeling fine so far
The first splash screen was a bit lower in framerate but otherwise fine

[astral haven]

Hit edit on your control panel

[leaden kiln]

Feels fine

[astral haven]

Mine also lags when just opening the control panel

[leaden kiln]

cuh…

[astral haven]

This is only like 20 fps tho which isn't too bad

[astral haven]

This is like 6

[leaden kiln]

Watch update just giving me errors though 🥀

[astral haven]

I also appreciate how it made my aod time dark

And this isn't tied to my home screen color

[leaden kiln]

the aod is blurred 😭

I can just turn it off thank god 🙏

[astral haven]

Oh I have wallpaper off

[leaden kiln]

Understandable

I just like how my miku looks on it

[rough osprey]

gotta wait a bit

screenshot bug still there bruh

[plush stirrup]

my samsung SSD went from 500ish to like 75ish after putting 100GB on it...

lemme see if I can find a screenshot of that to give exact values xD

[astral haven]

Quality

[plush stirrup]

my samsung SSD's have held up so far xD

[warm ore]

Which model is this Magic?

[plush stirrup]

870 QVO? I think

I can check my amazon order history 1sec

[wheat plume]

Why the toggle switches look too long and thin?

[leaden kiln]

they changed the look this update i guess

[wheat plume]

They look squished xd

[astral haven]

They expand when you hold em

[plush stirrup]

yes it was the 870 qvo

[wheat plume]

Android ones are super flat though ..

[warm ore]

QVO, got it

[wheat plume]

O ...strange xd

Wow already got the weeb 17 pro

[nimble arch]

Weebs out

[leaden kiln]

Similar colors to a popular vtuber

[leaden kiln]

I’ll just try again tomorrow 🗿

[wheat plume]

Got the glass effect enabled
Kinda like it

[nimble arch]

My watchOS download estimate is two hours for some reason. Think I’ll restart both devices.

[halcyon moss]

Are we doing live wallpaper again?

[leaden kiln]

I think it’s faster if you turn off Bluetooth and force it to download off wifi

[nimble arch]

I'm pretty sure it transfers the update over WiFi anyway?

Restarting my phone has drastically sped up the process, all is good.

[leaden kiln]

I remember hearing that wasn’t the case in the past, but it may be now, or that might’ve been incorrect information, I just recall hearing that sometime

[unkempt lake]

why dont people just use a picture of their cat

[leaden kiln]

I used a default wallpaper for a while before coming up with one
Usually takes me a bit

[vapid ruin]

black with a bit of green curve on the calenders is good enough

[leaden kiln]

I like this blue gradient, looks nice on the aod too

[dull hollow]

i hide the wallpaper with aod

[leaden kiln]

Originally I was gonna get the regular iPhone 16, I didn’t use the aod on my fold 5 at all, but after using it I really like how the wallpaper shows on the aod

The clock is a lot smaller now when you have album art expanded on the lock screen

both android and ios is going downhill

and the hardware keeps getting pricier

[vapid ruin]

too bad I need phone to use digital payment

[leaden kiln]

I like this update mostly, I recall liking iOS 11 and 16 too and I think those also had some controversy

Looks nice, search bars on the bottom, more customization on icons and the home screen
I haven’t used it for more than a few hours though

I don’t like that album art makes the clock smaller on the lock screen now though

[harsh ether]

more customization? meh ill bite bullet

[astral haven]

Is that working now? Haven't seen it yet

Posted about this before but you can like make a claim now

[astral haven]

Yea its not showing up on the lock screen but is showing up in settings

[nimble arch]

It’s certainly a niche issue

But it was still an long standing bug

[unkempt lake]

I swear apple changed something with the keyboard in ios 26@nimble arch

I keep making typos

I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY CHANGED

BUT THEY CHANGED SOMETHING

IT FEELS DIFFERENT

AND I DONT LIKE THIS

AM I CRAZY

[marsh glade]

Are you asking us?

[unkempt lake]

YES

am i crazy

[nimble arch]

Understood.

[thick ermine]

Same and I’m not upgrading. Just replaced the battery because the battery health was below 50%

[unkempt lake]

i dont see why anyone would upgrade a phone that still gets software updates

[thick ermine]

All I could see upgrading for is camera updates

[unkempt lake]

most phones have been hyper stagnant

i had an iphone x with 50% battery health

i upgraded to the 14 pro

it was... nice but not mindblowing

[thick ermine]

After Steve Jobs died, phone tech hasn’t improved a whole ton

[unkempt lake]

like it was mainly because i was always out of storage on my 64gb phone

• i needed the battery replaced regardess

and the only apple store is 4 hours away and i was like why not just replace the phone, get more storage so i dont have to fight wit hit again

[thick ermine]

I gave my iPhone X to my brother because his phone fell off in the ocean

[unkempt lake]

my battery did get replaced under warranty so im still at like 91%

for the 14pro

unless they make a foldable i just dont see myself upgrading

until software support drops

[thick ermine]

Foldable is too fragile

[unkempt lake]

i mean the recent samsung ones have been pretty good so i'm hopeful

guess we'll see when we get there

literally i feel like upgrading my phone i would literally just... get usb c

and a little bigger battery

woooo

[thick ermine]

I need a rugged case on my phones and there are no rugged cases for foldable phones

AppleCare is really only useful if you live in a city

I only get my mail every 2 weeks and live nowhere near a city

And I’ve had phones fall out of helicopters and planes and get run over by vehicles. Normal handling by someone who doesn’t do a bunch of outdoor activities it would be fine, but that’s not the case here.
Also, I don’t think companies like quad lock make cases for foldable phones so if you want to mount your phone to a motorcycle, it messes up the built in gyro and camera stabilization.

[unkempt lake]

same, took me a week to get my phone from warranty

or i can drive 4 hours

xD

[harsh ether]

meh update kinda mid

i fixed my colors

still doesnt let you remove the taskbar

just hold down on an empty space

and press customize

edit -> customize

[thick ermine]

It would likely take a month from the point I file a claim to when I get a replacement unless I flew to the city to mail it and pick it up.

[unkempt lake]

the way it works is they take an authorization on your card, ship it to you then you got 14 days to ship yours in after you get it

[astral haven]

It

1. only shows up to 80%
2. doesn't show on the aod
3. doesn't show for slow chargers even though its available in settings

I even went so far as to add the battery widget which doesn't even show it

And I dont

Cope

Me too

Still cope

To be fair its not that simple because apple super complicated charging

[dull hollow]

it takes me maybe? 20 minutes at that to get to my closest apple store

Yeah wouldn’t work for me because like I said, I only go get my mail every 2 or so weeks

[rough osprey]

wow 16 years ago

[lyric hatch]

Did they add the option for numbers row yet

[rough osprey]

never

[halcyon badger]

How? Updating Electron?

Don't worry just makes it slower and increases file size!

not sure whats the requirement on their part but some third party apps like instagram use the newer one already

Whats your cpu ?

[desert bay]

i9 10900k

[steady sail]

Easiest thing u can do is re seat the cpu

[desert bay]

i was thinking that or my bios not up to date

[steady sail]

But before can u boot into bios ?

[desert bay]

yes

[steady sail]

Okay check if ur drive is detected

[desert bay]

okay

[steady sail]

Or if u have windows installed

[desert bay]

yes they r installed

i’ve been playing on the pc all day today it just started doing this

[topaz schooner]

Wait, you can still boot into the BIOS/UEFI setup?

[desert bay]

yes

the pc will boot up it’ll just turn off after a little bit then boot itself back up with the cpu light on

so it’s either what i’m thinking is the cpu isn’t set right or bios update

well not it won’t even boot up at all turn it on goes straight to cpu light on and monitors won’t come on

i got it into bois

[steady sail]

Soo your cpu is either dead or your ssd

But thats sounds like a cpu issue

[desert bay]

well it’s a good thing i planned on upgrading to a i7 14700k lol

[steady sail]

Dont

[desert bay]

y

[steady sail]

That can die as well

[desert bay]

well then what should i pair the 5060ti with

[steady sail]

Ryzen 5 9600x or Ryzen 7 9700x

[desert bay]

is it ddr4 compatible

[steady sail]

Or just get a 7800x3d bundle

[steady sail]

No thats ddr5

[desert bay]

gawd ima have to get new ram to

smh

i plan on taking it to micro center with me tomorrow so i can get a 100% on what’s the problem

[steady sail]

Good luck

[lunar elm]

every cpu can die in that case

the 14700k wont have the issue as long as the bios is updated

[steady sail]

But why would you upgrade to a dead platform ?

[lunar elm]

and what if the platform in questions has good prices deals and bundles

Im not against buying into am5 for upgradeabilty or whatever

But if there are killer deals on these “dead” platforms then sure go for it

[misty matrix]

if one needs to hop platforms probably wiser to go to am5

[steady sail]

I could have hopped on am5 when my mobo died

But i just get a mobo for 150€ instead of 700€ of new stuff

But again there is no cpu+mobo bundles in Hungary

[digital cliff]

and again as we all know you can only purchase stuff in Hungary

[fair gull]

you dont go to hungary for you groceries?

[umbral heron]

I think there's quite a big difference between buying groceries abroad and buying mobo abroad

[astral haven]

They sold the tech?

[astral haven]

But 3dxpoint idk who has it

[astral haven]

Or is it in the 10s of thousands?

[astral haven]

But yea if you just lock yourself off from using 3/4 of the drive in any random tlc drive its gonna run in pslc mode

[steady sail]

Soo you would pay 150€ for shipping

[umbral heron]

Shipping from most Germany shops to rest of EU is like 10~20€

[steady sail]

Half of the german stores dont ship to Hungary

[digital cliff]

that's still not true jesus christ

you just keep claiming the same thing when it's just not true, and also did you know that there are other countries in the EU than hungary and germany?

i.e. there are webshops that are not located in germany too

[umbral heron]

They either ship to EU or don't ship internationally at all
Last time I checked Hungary is still in EU

[steady sail]

I dont know any shops in the eu

[digital cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-crazy-wall-hit-head-hit-lose-my-mind-gif-4507738914354207491

[steady sail]

Than fucking send me wbesites

[digital cliff]

no

[steady sail]

Than dont comment on where u buy my fucking stuff

[digital cliff]

I will because what you are saying is just BS

last time when you were looking for graphics card and claimed the same thing I gave you some links to webshops outside of hungary that shipped to hungary but you ignored them so why would I go through the trouble anyways

[fair gull]

pretty sure mindfactory delivers to hungary

[digital cliff]

i think mindfactory stopped selling internationally altogether in like 2018, not sure if they've reinstated that

[fair gull]

i just tried

[digital cliff]

oh that's cool

[fair gull]

it did show billing and delivery address correctly with hungary (ungarn in german) as the country

[fair gull]

why does it let you select hungary then

wtf

[reef patrol]

Just pick a random product on PCPartpicker and change your country, if you need to know names of sellers. And then go through them and see which ship to you?

[fair gull]

good point

[reef patrol]

That's what I ended up doing, cause doing google searches for "pc hardware price comparison" didn't get me anywhere solid.

We have a site in Denmark, "Pricerunner" which is basically just a search engine for products, showing price comparisons across sellers with timeline charts.

Haven't been able to find a EU pendant

This but on an EU scale and "ships to XYZ" would be so helpful. But so far PCPartpicker is the closest I've found, but you gotta change country over and over to see international pricing.

[fair gull]

idk if parts picker also looks for bundle offers tbh

[reef patrol]

Mmm probably not.

[steady sail]

Idk

Yeah 60€ for shipping is not worth it i just pay the same price as in Hungary

Yeah its not cheap to get stuff from outside of Hungary xd

Maybe its me but i dont wanna pay 60€ for shipping from Germany

When i pay 2.5€ for that in Hungary

[umbral heron]

How the...
I never saw shipping to me for more than 20€

[steady sail]

Welcome to Hungary

[ashen urchin]

500$ for the wooting 80he zinc total😭

[steady sail]

Now u understand why i dont buy stuff outside of my country

[umbral heron]

[steady sail]

If shipping from Germany to Hungary is 60€ i dont wanna check other EU countries

Oh and i tried Alternate.de and i pay 60€ for shipping + fees

[reef patrol]

Time to join the EU.

[magic minnow]

[steady sail]

Germany just hates shipping to Hungary

[reef patrol]

Would be highly ironic, given how most EU parcels go through Germany 😄

[reef patrol]

This does nothing to improve the local infrastructure to provide zero-brownout power every time someone asks Grok if this is true. It also doesn't do anything to help with the extreme watercooling demands.

And it sure as hell doesn't help with datacenters using masssive diesel generators, burning oil all day to provide power.

So... iPhone is Aluminium now... Bendgate 2.0 very probable with Air?

[nimble arch]

iPhone Air is still titanium

[sudden imp]

The titanium apparently bent easier than the aluminum

[nimble arch]

17 Pro is aluminium for cooling reasons

[umbral heron]

Bendgate is coming

[vagrant pagoda]

titanium is definitely not easier to bend than aluminum

[warm ore]

Getting some networking hardware from Germany (would be roughly 338 EUR in my country), this ships to forwarder for free, then only about 16-18 EUR from there to me.
So total of 299 EUR vs 338 EUR, ohh yeah i also get to get 30 EUR back from ASUS from the original price (CASHBACK).

[magic minnow]

Air is titanium still

Oh Johners beat me

[sudden imp]

Jerry rigs video the titanium iPhone bent easier because the frame was different but the glass backing didn’t help with structural rigidity

[vagrant pagoda]

yes but the material isn't the reason, the design is

[astral haven]

Theoretically a CPU slot is gonna get the best perf, but difference is tiiiny and it could be either one which is faster

[astral haven]

That's because it was titanium as opposed to steel not aluminum
Steel is stronger than titanium

@lofty pivot I summon thee
I need an advice on picking some budget 50/1.4 or 50/1.8 lens with AF for FF Sony for my a7iii
Sticking to ~500€ would be nice

[warm ore]

Damn after Amazon DE's incompetence, Galaxus shipped in less than a day and it's already at my forwarder, time to consolidate all packages and ship them to me.

[lofty pivot]

hrm a little slower there's the new viltrox that's f2 50mm for $200ish. There's the sony native 50mm f1.8 but that's really slow and noisy and needs an update honestly

[umbral heron]

I don't mind if it's noisy, I won't be recording anyway

[lofty pivot]

the sony f1.8 is slow too, autofocus is quite slow and such whereas viltrox one came out just few months ago so it's very quick

there's the sigma f1.4 50mm that came out i think 2 years ago that's in between that price and the sony gm stuff, but that's over budget by a bit i think unless you find it second hand maybe

[vagrant pagoda]

also camera noise is like half the reason to use a real camera

if people cant hear youre camera how will they know youre cool

[umbral heron]

There are some second hand for a bit over, but it's a 1.4, so I'll check it
Thanks

ye thing is since ive had it i havent took it out of the keyboard 🤷‍♂️

might just cellotape it

dunno

[vagrant pagoda]

heat sink being closeer to cpu temp is not enough dissipation, heaksink closer to room temp is bad transfer. Being right in the middle is the best design for passive devices

my p1 sits at around 40-50c

which is inbetween room temp 10c and cpu temp 70c

but yeah you need cpu temp really know anything

[pale sigil]

Bios updated, I'll ask about his xmp, 2 sticks and iirc48gb

[pale sigil]

Hmm he says he's having it every time

[astral haven]

Update bios, then there should be a check mark to only do it once

[ashen spindle]

Enable Memory context Restore in bios

[pale sigil]

That's enabled

[ashen spindle]

Or really just keep them jedec it’s just nicer on x3d CPUs than dealing with all the xmp issues imo

[pale sigil]

Wdym sorry

[raw zephyr]

check for ddr5 nitro mode or whatever it was called, that also increases memory training time on boot

and enable memory context restore as quin mentioned

[raw zephyr]

jedec is the default configuration, no expo or xmp

[pale sigil]

As I said it's already on

I'll forward all this

[raw zephyr]

my boot times are also horrid, but i only boot the pc once a day so it's not an issue

but i also don't bother, i'd rather have stable oc than have random freezes due to incorrect memory training

[ashen spindle]

If you have above jedec(stock) ram settings it need to train them that usually takes longer, MCR can help. But with x3d chips for games it doesn’t do much so it’s not even worth it imo

[thick ermine]

Speaking of memory, anyone get in on the Corsair RAM class action lawsuit? Supposedly going to pay out anywhere from $30-200 per claim.

[thick ermine]

I bought 2 packs within the time frame listed. You can submit up to 5 without submitting proof of purchase right now, but I’m pretty sure down the road it’ll be required before funds go out (or at least provide serial numbers of them). Makes me glad I went with Corsair over gskill or team group for just a tad bit more $ because anything over like $10 will make them overall cheaper picks.

they marketed it as so

[mental helm]

if they are actually that good then i might pick up a pair but that kind of marketing seems subjective

Especially for £220

[devout raptor]

i have high hopes so they better be

[mental helm]

If they are that good then I'd end up buying a pair n eating my words happily lmao

the ANC on the 2 is still more than good enough for daily use imo

[devout raptor]

if they actually have 2x anc then its gonna be really good for me in work use because loud sounds everywhere

[mental helm]

yeah thats fair, i only really use mine working out or in the office

definitely depends on use case but I've never had an issue with the GEN2 or their ANC

[magic minnow]

I never use my pros 2

[leaden kiln]

I just got 2s a couple months ago but I’ll probably get the third gen for the better anc

[devout raptor]

8 hours with anc also sounds nice

im curious to what they sound like also

[umbral heron]

meanwhile me with open-backs

[devout raptor]

open back cans at work

[nimble arch]

Got my AirPods Pro 3 dispatch notification

[rough osprey]

seems more like worse sound lol

[devout raptor]

why

[rough osprey]

just according to many reviewers bc more bass and stuff

sound signature not that "natural" anymore

[distant tapir]

I always found the Pro 2 a little less than my preference in bass

[umbral heron]

Ooooh, so Nvidia is starting to eat Intel

[magic minnow]

[misty matrix]

all green pc coming soon

[devout raptor]

:hanaisee:

[ashen spindle]

@marsh glade look Intel can’t innovate so they just let nvidia do it for them

[fair gull]

smth smth paperbag

[fickle ore]

lol nice

wtf im seeing up 30% and 1% like alternating every 5 sec

[ashen spindle]

yeah its up like 26% on frankfurt exchange today

[fickle ore]

nice insider shit

[ashen spindle]

thats not insider thats from when it was announced

[fickle ore]

😛

[rough osprey]

john intel told me

[fickle ore]

Well I love the stock anyways, atleast for a few mins

Brace for Nana memes

[gusty kiln]

Soooo what about nvidia while ARM deal?

[ashen spindle]

they will still use arm for their server cpus

[gusty kiln]

Seems a papa trump appeasement rather than actual good business decisions

[ashen spindle]

this is moreso them being able to enter igpu/laptop space rather than having to make a mobile cpu that works

also allows them to have enough shares to kinda want to kill ARC

so you stop a competitor, maybe

lot of options, but probably all bad for intel in the long run lol

[fickle ore]

geopolitics and supply chains

risk management

[ashen spindle]

nah they would just invest into IFS for that

[fickle ore]

same thing

[ashen spindle]

no? you dont make plans for gpu chiplets and using your interconnect on intel cpus when your own cpus are capable of it if its just for tsmc de-risking

[fickle ore]

Tell me how do you invest only in IFS?

Its the only way to get in

[ashen spindle]

buying stock and saying you will buy capacity?

[fickle ore]

They bought $5B at $23.xx

new stock

until intel spins off IFS which aint happening soon its, u get both lol

[ashen spindle]

yeah but I'm saying the rest of the announcement isnt needed if the main reason was de risking

[fickle ore]

Yeah def many reasons like what u said

but risk management likely plays a part too

[atomic egret]

hiiii, im new to the server but not really to my keyboard ive had the wooting two he since november last year and ive been on windows the whoel time but i recently set up linux mint cinnamon and im having issues downloading wootility and was wondering if someone could help me with that

[fair gull]

#1019755933959733258

thats the better place

[atomic egret]

oh sorry i didnt have the channel shown but tyyyy

[umbral heron]

Set udev rules https://help.wooting.io/article/147-configuring-device-access-for-wootility-under-linux-udev-rules
Download AppImage https://api.wooting.io/public/wootility/download?os=linux&version=5.1.0
That's it

[atomic egret]

in the terminal right?

sorry if its a dumb question i literally installed mint last night

wait no im really slow

[umbral heron]

You can also try this https://github.com/Calslock/wootinstaller

[atomic egret]

ty <3 much appreciated

[rough osprey]

wow it has the same name as you

what a coincidence

[umbral heron]

Huh, almost as if I wrote this

[rough osprey]

imagine

[lunar elm]

jesus christ nvidia injected 5b into intel and now intel up 22%

mfw they fucking peaked 26%

[sudden imp]

Does this mean something from American chip manufactoring or just silicon valley jerking it?

[warm ore]

Finally all arrived, consolidated and ready to send

[leaden kiln]

I won a mic arm lottery 🎉
Just have to ship it here now

[ashen spindle]

Nothing is coming from this until like 4 years at the absolute earliest

And nothing related to American based or not

[sudden imp]

so this means litterally nothing or?

Because I don't understand why is nvidia pumping money into competitors. What is their motive.

[ashen spindle]

Depends, for whom? You as consumer? Nothing for years to come

[fickle ore]

https://youtu.be/80s0chTOsK0?t=1892

[ashen spindle]

Intel isn’t competing with nvidia

[fickle ore]

I need these glasses

[ashen spindle]

Intels AI stuff failed and the rest isn’t competing in nvidias markets

[vagrant pagoda]

nvidia is throwing cash to gain favors lol

[fair gull]

same. finally i can record myself chasing after wild animals

[vapid ruin]

I think you can already do that with their previous glasses, this time you can do that while being able to read an instruction on how to do it

[fair gull]

exactly

i want a hud for directions to my target

terminator style

https://tenor.com/view/battlefront-star-wars-zoom-loading-load-gif-26273113

like this is also good

[fickle ore]

https://youtu.be/80s0chTOsK0?t=4005

Meta horizon engine looks pretty sick

metaverse happening ??

[vapid ruin]

we'll see, I might try it if v80 or something already allow such thing

one thing I wanna try is the room scanning/capturing, if it's what I think it is (capturing your whole room/house into a 3d space), it'll be pretty great as a way to recreate previous setup/reference.

[digital cliff]

dag is like the only person in the world excited about meta and intel

[frozen ingot]

finally, the target customer zucc invisioned

[marsh glade]

Hahaha

[fickle ore]

bc im not the boomer despite being the oldest!

u guys be touching ur smartphones

[ashen spindle]

hes not a boomer just the youngest doomer

[fickle ore]

in bed i might add

[fair gull]

ngl the idea of the meta display glasses and the neura band does look interesting

id just prob want it not from meta

[digital cliff]

I didn't look at the video yet, maybe I'll find it interesting too, whatever it is

[fair gull]

basically google glasses but without the prism infront of the glasses. the display is right in the glass lense and they plan to offer prescription lenses

https://www.meta.com/nl/en/ai-glasses/meta-ray-ban-display/

its closer and closer to what i always wanted AR glasses to be

and the neural band thing just enables gestures by just moving fingers relative to one another

[fickle ore]

Closer to SAO than ever :3

But ye they have even more advanced 3D display stuff still at prototype level

Ray-Ban Meta Display seems really good for now tho

[fair gull]

i mean yeah ofc it could always be better but im glad we are still advancing AR glasses

[old marlin]

glad they didn't just outright can AR tech

[thick ermine]

Since it’s more than 4800MTs, as long as you have proof of purchase for specifically the ram sticks (can’t be second hand or as part of a pre build), you can still file. The lawsuit isn’t that Corsair ram is defective. It’s that they only advertise on their packaging the XMP/EXPO speeds…like literally every other ram manufacturer (the law firm is only doing a class action suit against Corsair though, likely because they’ve got the most $).

[steady sail]

Imagine saying docp on the ram

[lunar elm]

next lets sue every monitor company for refresh rate diff bcs windows defaults it to 60hz

[mental helm]

ddr4

[steady sail]

im on am4 still

i dont see the reason to upgrade to am5 with a 5800x3d

[mental helm]

yeah youre still fine for a while

lol

[steady sail]

with games being shit and they need a 5090 atleast yeah im gonna be fine till AM7 xD

[unkempt lake]

Just stick with it till like am6 maybe

Or yeah even am7 who knows if things will stagnate

But yeah 5800x3d is pretty damn similar to a 7600x so i don't really see why you'd upgrade xD

To well anything as it's still plenty

For gaming

[steady sail]

i dont do anything else other than gaming soo

[unkempt lake]

i'm happy that i bought a 7800x3d when it was at its all time low, the 9800x3d was a pretty underwhelming upgrade for the price

And now that nico's rig is on a 7600x3d which we also got for a really good deal

I don't think we're gonna need upgrades for quite a few years

[steady sail]

i mean everything is gonna came down to prices

and how much they gonna improve on AM6

if its comes down to that, im just gonna pick up a 9800x3d

[umbral heron]

Keep in mind that Zen 6 is also AM5

[gusty kiln]

https://youtu.be/8cD4krJLndY?si=AU-t0ldABprDAo7i

Looks like the new Xbox ui is already loaded in the latest build on w11

Or at least an insider early access version

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBu7f9uNPwE

gonna be Randy's next recommendation

[unkempt lake]

use lossless scalig and the ingame framegen AT THE SAME TIME

8x framegen

[halcyon moss]

Can't it already do it?

[vagrant pagoda]

game at 240p15, then dlss and mfg to get 1080p60, then use lossless to upscale and frame gen on a second 5090 to get 4k120

[astral haven]

Low key want to see how that would feel

[vagrant pagoda]

bad

ill see if i can shoehorn in my 1080 and try

[astral haven]

Newest secondary GPU I've got on hand is r9 nano, rest are lent out

[unkempt lake]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-launches-radeon-rx-7700-with-2560-cores-and-16gb-memory

[unkempt lake]

i can do a cursed amd nvidia system with a 7900xtx and a 2080

[vagrant pagoda]

i did that for ages for physx

[pastel galleon]

isn't Zen 6 rumored to have a 50% Core and Thread increase per CCD, and 50% cache increase too?

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwhGk4c4bT8
Oh gods this is painful. But finally I can show people my unfinished projects aren't THAT bad.

[pastel galleon]

so hypothetically the zen 6 ryzen 7 model would probably have 12c/24t and 48MB L3 cache I think

[ashen spindle]

we know its 12c chiplets, we dont know anything about cache

[pastel galleon]

i pray for high density cache

11800X3D would go hard

[ashen spindle]

cache shrinking is dead you're not getting much denser caches

[steady sail]

soo Ryzen 7 10800x3d gonna be 12c/24t

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/former-trump-adviser-says-us-cant-rely-on-foreign-chips-as-nvidia-invests-in-intel-171815233.html

[old marlin]

I think my brother got a knife from the same smith lol

got it for him as a gift for his birthday

[ashen spindle]

these investors are so braindead stupid

6 questions on the call or so and 5 of them were asking about foundry and they said we dont talk about foundry this event isnt about that

the entire deal changes absolutely nothing about making chips in the US or not

[lunar elm]

all these statements are for their own benefit

same with politicians

[ashen spindle]

there isnt any own benefit when its just false or content less talk

[lunar elm]

or we could just chalk it up as propaganda

[ashen spindle]

maybe the one article that was linked but the others didnt even talk about it being related to trump or US or anything

oh god linkeding messages style scams now too
